Fuji GA645 in Majorna, Gothenburg

Majorna is a special part of Gothenburg for many reasons. It’s the place where my mother grew up in the 1950’s and some of that old charm is still preserved in buildings, shops and old signs. I remember as a kid my late grandfather standing in the window of his flat, near Mariaplan, waving goodbye to me as we drove home.

Now I share a love for this charming place with many others. I even got a space here together with 7 other photographers, with a dark room and all. I often wonder around this neighborhood with a camera and some film. Here I’m using the Fujifilm GA645 (a camera I no longer own, but it’s a pretty sweet camera) and some Ilford HP5. I hope you can feel the spirit of Majorna :) Scans by Carmencita FIlm Lab.

Adapting Leica glass on Fuji

I don’t own a digital Leica. I often feel I want one but that’s a whole other discussion. Since I have a Leica M7, and that’s my go to 35mm camera, I can use the lenses for that camera on my fairly cheap used Fuji X-pro2. As you all know you just get an adapter Leica M to Fujifilm X and you’re good to go. Here I used my Voigtlander 35mm f2 Ultron (version 1). This lens is really sharp and often compared to the Leica 35mm Summicron. Here at handheld at f8. The digital results are really nice and I’m happy with the image quality. It leaves me no real need for a digital M body. I think the user experience is fairly nice. I use the evf with focus peaking and magnification and it’s fairly quick to use. Post work is as usual done with Rebecca Lily presets in Lightroom.
