lens corrections in Photoshop are a godsend, in rural areas taking pictures with a tripod (and a view camera) is simply asking for trouble.
 
Pan, I really like how Poland always look on your pictures, I think you have more sympathy for this country than us local photographers.

I don't know how to photograph things that look familiar to me. I go to Poland and everything looks new and worthy of being photographed. People are also more willing to be photographed, I get a lot of grief in UK.

guess thats why I go to Istanbul on every possible occasion.

but I'm also a sucker for Latvian countryside.

What kind of Summar do you have? Is it coated? Is it chrome or nickel? What's its number block? The pictures look excellent!

I very much like Summars when they are without scratches and coated. These are rare. The front lens is very soft.

testing Kowa Six just outside my shop, first two with 55/3.5, third with 85/2.8. I know I crushed the blacks quite ugly but those are my first scans using VueScan on Canon 9000F and I need to find a way for more linear output files, but with some basic adjustments. Also the HP5 was expired and pushed in Rodinal 1+25...
That middle photo - you mentioned Latvia elsewhere, is that the indoor market in the Zeppelin hangars? I missed them the only time I've ever been there - 1994, looking at cows - and have never got back...

it's a close to perfect condition uncoated one. I love Summars, had them in all kinds of condition, from 50$ junk to this little gem.

this one is my workplace here in Warszawa, a pre-war market hall called Hala Mirowska.
