    I like this one Jack…the perspective reinforces the massiveness of the rocks. Good to see you're still using your ND filters. Hoping to give mine a workout next week.

    Doug A replied to the topic Where are the film shooters? in the forum Film M Cameras 14 years, 1 month ago

    I've been shooting film since 1955. I only shoot B&W and develop my own film. I switched from wet printing to scanning and inkjet printing when I found I preferred the results. My main outfit is an M6 with a 35/2 Biogon. I also have a Nikon F6, a Hasselblad and an X-100 but they don't see a lot of use.

    fotophil replied to the topic Something Different: Leica S2 with Hasselblad PC-Shift Adapter in the forum Alternative Lenses 14 years, 1 month ago

    I believe the PC-Shift was designed for the 40mm lens which becomes around 56mm after the 1.4 factor. I have the PC adapter and 40mm lens so I will give it a try and compare with the Mamiya 50mm shift lens.

    The first one is more or less straight out of cam. I guess I increased the vibrance, but thats it.

    On the second one I did some cross processing.

    Click on the filter menu, then on Lens Correction. That will open up a dialog box and a preview. On the right under auto correction, there should be a list of camera manufacturers and lens models, if it does not automatically detect it from Exif.
