• Film: unknown

I have shot the Big Apple on Leica M (both 4-P and 6), Hasselblad 503CXi, Rolleiflex Tele 135, and Fuji GW690 in both color and black and white negatives. All of those rolls have their respective five frames posts on this blog, except for this last roll for black and white 120 film. This makes it really hard not to be repetitive, and especially the frames from this roll are very similar to the ones from a previous color post. I tried to pick images that have a somewhat different perspective, which lead to only four frames of the eight that the Fuji GW690 III can squeeze in on one roll. This is the last set that I dug up from my chaos archives, and the last New York post until I get another chance to visit.

• Where: Las Vegas, Death Valley
• Camera: Rollei SL 35 E
• Lens: unknown
• Film: unknown

This was one of my first trips to Neuschwanstein and one of my first trips with the Rollei SL 35 E. The camera has the somewhat annoying problem that once in a while when it gets cold, the mirror gets stuck. A hearty slap will get it unstuck, but that triggers the shutter and the camera takes a picture right at that moment. Most of the pictures from this roll from my chaos archives are at weird angles, often upside down with a horizon along the diagonal. The frames I chose for this post are a selection of the few images that at least somewhat make sense.

• Where: Las Vegas, Death Valley
• Camera: Nikon F5
• Lens: Nikkor 50mm f/1.2
• Film: unknown

“If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”, or in this case “If you can open up to f/1.2, everything NEEDS to be shot at f/1.2.”. A photographer’s folly, no doubt. One that I seem to have fallen for with this roll of black and white film from my chaos archives. I shot the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 mostly wide open during my trip to Las Vegas and Death Valley. Unbeknownst to me, the lens is soft as a ball of fur when fully open. Thus, I ended up with mostly the cuddly end of the image stick. Initially, looking at the set of photos, I thought I would not even be able to find more than one frame for this post. Only 2 frames were actually sharp on the whole roll. Everything else is so soft, it would not leave a dent in a piece of molten butter. But in the end, I decided to embrace the artsy side and chose what you see here.

I took the Leica M4-P on a trip to New York a few years ago. The images are from my chaos archive and had a strong red color cast removed. I filled two rolls of Fuji Superia (probably 200 or 400) and thus decided to go for a 10 frames post.

Edit: I just noticed that I already did the “5 Frames - New York With A Leica M4-P” story. This time it is 10 frames, though.
