Wow thank you very much! I just finished seeing the Bresson exhibit at MoMA and it was wonderful. :-)

Not familar with the specific adapter for the Exakta mounts but perhaps someone who may use one could help us on this?

Thanks for commenting Cliff. I have reprocessed the image with a Red filter and replaced the image on this site. Stephen

It is trully gorgeous. The compositon, color, detail. Just beautiful.

I'm not an expert but I guess there are available adapters of any kind. Are there?

Thanx Stephen, I have a whole series I just finished up on Manhole covers....now I'm just looking for a gallery to exhibit them.

BW expresses the weathering situation of the sadly castaway farm equipment (hay spreader?) better than the lush color, IMO. Would a red filter be too much?

lulu, strong image, beautiful model. gnatsum, I have a 50mm (f/2 Pancolor "Zebra")) for my VX1000 and it is also sticky. Typical problem and a tech can clean and lube it. I bought the body because I wanted to use the Flek 20mm. Needs some work on the focal plane shutter at the moment, another typical problem a tech can fix. The M42 mount lulu is using is not the same as the Exakta mount.

Your influence, Stephen. I had posted some time ago a color version but on reflection decided it is much more effective this way. Your comment to philber about his shot of the white building with the orange stripe, and his change to monochrome as a second example of the image, got me to thinking...I looked at the software you recommend but NIK seems to be still working on the 64 bit version so I will have to wait a little while, chomping at the bit.

Nice textures and tones. Stephen
