First go with the 35mm HC

[Ed Bray]

First images with the 35mm HC on my H1 with 528C back. Very pleased with the sharpness and lack of distortion.

Personally, I prefer the mono images.

Full Size image (if you dare)

Nice ... we all love trains don't we?

You can hear the steam and smell the coal fire smoke!

Lovely pictures - and it looks like an amazing lens!

Like the B&W versions more as well.

Lovely pictures!

And somehow steam engines (not just locomotives) are better in black&white.
Where are the pictures from?

Thanks all, the photos were taken on the Severn Valley Railway, this is a preserved railway which starts at Kidderminster in the Midlands, UK.

Ed, sometime you should plan a trip to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn Michigan. Their train collection is mind boggling and includes a working round house, not to mention monster mountain engines.

BTW, I personally like the color shots you posted just as much as the B&Ws ... your use of color is quite nice, and that specific train with its red paint is outstanding.

I'm sure Ed can find a similarly stunning collection closer to home: the British National Railway museum is nothing short of spectacular!
