B&W: Words/No Words

[jloden]

Yep, it is a very nice lens, just wish it was faster.

That would be pretty sweet to see a long fast tele or two for Fuji. Not that I'm complaining, the Fuji 18-55 and 55-200 are great and they're already faster than the usual consumer zooms. I just love fast glass

To be honest I don't see one coming any time real soon, but maybe after the last couple roadmap lenses they'll start looking at some even faster zooms, or even a tele prime. I'd love to see a 100-150mm f/2 prime along the lines of the DC-Nikkor lenses. That would absolutely rock, especially for portraits.

Jack, I've just seen your two photos - this and the one over on the color thread. Both are lovely...and this one intrigues me with the film like quality. Next time if you can, please post a larger version.

In the meantime - welcome to FujiXspot - :biggrin_old: - and pllease stop by the Welcomes and Introductions forum when you have a chance.

Sometimes B&W is what's left to work with.

Don't really like those reds and blues;
It's black and white that pays the dues.
And I wouldn't say they're not dramatic;
With a tonal scale that's not just automatic.

Say, Gary, not every photo inspires the literary muses!

Phoenix, wonderful!!!
Hey, 1.4! This camera isn't up to shoot sports, is it...

Update, seen right now. The bit of text behind. At first sight, you read "cade". "Cade" in Italian means "he falls". LOL

It is an Aikido technique (which is of course Japanese) The text on the background completely reads "Aikido Academy", I thought it would be an ironic play on words if the Japanese technique is described in Italian so I have added some shadows.

You've got a very sharp eye onreb.

Fine chiaroscuro! For a little more Italian.
