Good Day Flexers
In a recent private mail, David Young of Cannada offered a very idea: Why not
adding contrast and sharpenning to have a more modern lens look.
Hmmm, David you are right, more contrast could be, but for the modern look?
Nah, that lens is a vintage with its limitation which I bought it for. I mean,
a voigtlande pan cake 35mm F2.5 gives probably a nice result but 10% of the fun.
However, I'm fond of Sebastiao Salgado images, many were done by analog, using
the masks of hands, if you spent hours in the dark room, you know. In digital,
it is not that obvious.
But I tried:

And

To defend them, I put the contrast to max, changed the curves output and adjust
luminosity.
No sharpness added as I want to preserve the original lens signature.
Aral is right, lack of shrpness may be a force.
All is in the dark tone scale, and the contrast with the light tone. I am not
sure it is with the usual taste but it is with mine. Only the subject is not
graphical enough (such as a portrait).
Please let me know, honnest, if this not good, hey, it is just a try. I am not
ashamed, it's a leisure, just that.
Enjoy.
