A few pictures taken with Pentax S1a – Lenses used 28mm f3.5 or 50mm f2.0 – Normal service will return very soon!




These picture show the resolving ability of the SMC Takumar’s quite well – The scanner is able to capture the grain and when printed using a Epson R3000 the results are truly exceptional – I have not had time to ‘silver’ print the negatives, although I wonder if its worth the effort as the subjects and images may not benefit from the Dev + Stop + Fix process. Sometimes the ‘hybrid’ silver/digital provides sufficient information and ‘feel’ for the subject.
My next blog will be a review of Glenn Ligon’s exhibition at the Nottingham Contemporary Gallery.
I love the dramatic effect of black an white photography when used for architecture 🙂
