I attended a flight show at a local falconer and had the opportunity to take some pictures, lighting wasn't the greatest and the longest lens I have is the 90mm f2 - which did a great job but I wasn't really up to the task, especially when it came to birds in flight. Close-up of Graf Luckner, a...

An assortment of examples from yesterdays trip to Raben. DSCF0754_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr DSCF0735_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr DSCF0728_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr DSCF0723_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

Weather was and still is rather poor, windy, wet autumn... nevertheless I went for a stroll around town yesterday, too bad I forgot to grab my replacement batteries and the one in my XP3 was already in the red. :rolleyes: A single leaf resting on a railment. DSCF0702_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf...

The Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f1.2 arrived two days ago, however due to bad weather I haven't really had the opportunity to take it outside. Just like the other Voigtländer lenses, this one comes with electrical contacts and communicates with most (modern) Fujifilm X cameras, there are some...

And some more recent examples. Starting off with one of my cats relaxing in a ray of the golden afternoon sun. Sooc cropped with Affinity. DSCF0548_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr A tree from a recent walk, kind of forgot to close the aperture further. Processed with DXO. DSCF0558_DxO by Kaltpfote...

I just noticed DXO actually has added lens correction profiles for their PhotoLab software, it is at least supported along with my X-Pro3. Some examples from a longer walk yesterday, indian summer - or Altweibersommer as we call it here - is in full swing and we've had beautiful weather since...

Just another addition I forgot is this silhouette shot, again wide open. Focus was on the powerpole in the background, with most of the built-in assist modes like Splitview, Color Highlights or Prism, I've noticed it is very challenging nailing focus from all infinity to "far away". Disabling...

I never used the 35mm Nokton, however the 23mm flares quite easily as you can see in the shot, I have noticed it a few times already but can't provide any more samples at the moment. Yesterday I was out in the evening for a short photo stroll, but the sun was too clouded to produce any lens...

Some more from a walk yesterday: A close-up of some buds at f4, it seems to be very sharp, despite the close focusing range. DSCF0069_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Another rather close one, but taken wide open this time. DSCF0040_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Yet another one taken at f1.2 but...

Two additional cat pictures. Both sooc, just cropped and resized. Both wide open. DSCF1946_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr DSCF1947_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

Since there is no showcase for this lens yet, I thought I could as well start one. Sun shines inside the tunnel below our local railway line, casting a nice, natural frame. DSCF1759_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr The old, ruined barn shot wide open. DSCF1847_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Stopped...

Another recent example of the 50 f2: DSCF0748_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

Shooting in a close focus distance at f16 eliminates the characteristic haze this lens has at more open apertures. DSCF0577_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Unlike this one, which was shot wide open. DSCF0562_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

Cherries are slowly starting to turn red along the bikeway from Baitz to Trebitz. Shot with the Kodak Brilliance recipe, which uses Classic Chrome as a base. Resized and croped with Affinity Photo. DSCF0200_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

Classic Neg in the woods, a bench sits lonely at a trail into the Belziger Landschaftswiesen nature reserve. DSCF0157_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

While riding a bike path through the woods, I suddenly feld an uncomfortable stare upon me. I quickly realized it came from a wooden creature gazing upon me. Luckily it was well fed already and let me pass unharmed. Shot with Classic Chrome as a base, I think it was the Kodak Ektar 100 recipe...

The 90 is doing some blossoms, at this FL and close range, shooting at f2 gives almost rather thin focus, I often stop down to f4 or even f5.6 at this range. DSCF0145_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr DSCF0148_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr

I actually really dislike the ~50mm (equiv.) focal length, but the more I see of this lens and the more I've read about it, the more I am tempted trying one out at some point. It's way smaller and more compact than the new 33mm f1.4, used prices on MPB start at around €434 for "good" copies and...

Yesterday I spotted an abandoned rainboot randomly sitting in the gras near a hiking shelter. The bright red in stark contrast to the dark green (sun was almost set and very cloudy sky) just called for Classic Negative. To be honest I am not sure if this is "pure" Classic Negative without many...

I am surprised this thread didn't get any more posts. While I know Classic Neg is quite a bit controversial and, unlike Classic Chrome, is pretty deviding between "loving it!" and "hating it!", I thought it still is very popular. Classic Neg is my most favourite film simulation, it has a fairly...

Classic Chrome is my second favourite film simulation, these were taken just yesterday using the Kodak Brilliance film recipe based on Classic Chrome. Dirt road through the fields... DSCF2943_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr ...asparagus harvest, the harvesters have already left. DSCF2945_AP by...

This was the third lens for my Fujifilm kit and completed my initial trio of primes. I am not that much of a wide-angle user, so it didn't get as much use as it should have. Mushroom, the great minimum focus distance allows for some nice environmental close-ups DSCF1049 by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr...

The X100V was my entry to Fujifilm and I ended up liking the small camera a lot more than I actually thought. While the first few days were a bit rough, because I needed to learn the way it works, I quickly started to see why the X100 series is so well regarded. It's a great "throw in the bag"...

It reminds me a lot of my Olympus 75mm f1.8: The lens isn't terribly large, yet it has a surprising heft to it. Due to the size of the lens hood, which seems to be around 50% the length of the actual lens, the lens looks a lot larger than it actually is. I only got it last week after not...

I like the 50mm f2 a lot, compact, light and nice balance between normal angle and light compressed telephoto look. DSCF2301_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Angler's club home in the mist. DSCF2017_DxO by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr Mailorder cat, sooc jpg. DSCF2026_AP by Kaltpfote, auf Flickr
