Lilly Pond with zone sieve "impressionist"


After a lot of experimentation with zone sieves on Leica rangefinder cameras, I found that this one works best. Under normal lighting conditions without high-contrast or reflective areas, the zone sieve will just behave like a pinhole, just a little softer. Pronounced highlights and visible halos only appear when the available light becomes stronger and contrast increases.

  • Skink Pinhole Pancake
  • Focal length/ zone sieve distance to film: 24mm f/71
  • Zone sieve: "Impressionist"
  • 2 clear dotted zones around main zone with size 0.218 mm
  • Angle of View: 84° just as wide as an Elmar or Summilux ;)
  • Film: Fuji Superia 200
  • partly overcast afternoon sky

the zone sieve used has only two clear concentric rings with small circles.
