<strong>Nice looking Erfurt and simply great photos ! Among some of the best I have seen on the Forum...

Can you tell the other Forum members what camera you use ?

Ok; I do not have an electronic camera so I use an old 1980 era Asahi Pentax with a very sharp and dependable MacroTakumar 1:4/100mm. I shoot on 100 ISO negative film and scan the developed negatives in a film scanner at 2000ppi (could use 4000ppi. but it's overkill!).
Then I correct the files in Photoshop and save them in .PSD format.
I also make final size (4x6" at 100ppi.)pix and save them in Jpeg format for the Web; I try to stay around 50Kb for one pix so the quality is average with reasonable weight.
It is my first real posting on your board so if you have tricks and tips for me, I would appreciate. Some of these pictures could have been a bit smaller (4x5"), and some could use a different lighting. I'll try some "tenting" next time, it works very well with polished surfaces and metal. I'll try to get closer, too.
PP.
