Hi all, New to the PDML, i enjoy working in the darkroom and would be interested in an upcoming print challenge.
I brought back from this summer's car trip through Spain, Marrocco and Mauritania 30 rolls of tri-X so i'll have plenty of interesting things to work on this fall ^-^ Most of the shots were done with the Pentax K 30mm 1:2.8 i just bought recently. I'am making the first prints and i must say...the 30mm looks pretty nice. Almost no distortions at all, very high resolution/sharpness and very nice rendering of shapes & textures (sort of a 3D effect). A nice step better than K 28/3.5 i used before, which is heavier and less bright. I had to travel light and only brought with me one body (MX) and three lenses : K 30/2.8, M 50/1.4 and K 85/1.8. I used the 30mm for about 85% of the shots, the 85mm for 10% and the 50mm for 5% (mainly for low-light situations and during the night). The 30mm was really pleasing to use !
