Leica M - Post your Portraits

[tritiated]

What a wonderful glowing portrait. What lens/film combination did you use?

The lens was a Canon 50mm f1.4 LTM, film was some cheap Kodacolour VR PLUS 400 from ALDI.

thanks, dirk
I agree 100% !
normally I use soft filters during PP on female portraits (or even filters like Softar). On this series I used 2 soft boxes left and right to reduce the shadows of wrinkles and had a more graphical image in mind. I did not get it all the way I had in mind

Dierk, great jazz photographs, but allow me, to say (this is very subjective, some like, some don't), that I feel about the 50 Lux ASPH and 75 Cron ASPH not being very nice to women. Especially the close up is quite "in the face", while I really like the first frame of Norma.

I think, these supersharp lenses are not flattering, but can be nicely tooled in a "documentary fashion", shooting people during conversations/ work, etc …

Ran into someone from old times, had a drink and grabbed the next best camera from the bag:

I think, I didn't mention already - I looove my new 75 Lux ;-)
