Landscapes...

I assume, that 139q refers to Contax. Maybe will be worth for you to "invest" in some filters like yellow, orange and red ? My scans are not too good and I scan from prints, but this picture was made with orange filter:

If not for that, the sky would be a wash out without any detail. Something I don't like.

Yes, I agree with you. This is C41 ('Agfa'/Lupus) scanned negative, converted to monochrome etc.

Aha, I forgot. My sample picture was shot on Eastman Double X Negative, it is a cine film (code DXN) ( I shoot only b&w film :scratch

. If you used colour negative film, then right, you couldn't use a filter. The trick with orange and red filter that in the right conditions they can change bleak sky into night sky. Without photoshop :wink:

. Like here, taken at 2 PM in April:

Same film, DXN.

Yes, I discovered this about thirty years ago; thanks for the heads-up.
