Sorry more bike photos! This photo is more for me. A memory of my first Ironman in 2017 (before the helmet stick finally falls off ha). *Note to self.. don't cycle with cameras - 3 miles covered in nearly 1 hour haha)(I was doing photos for most of this time!)
From my Kowa TLR test rolll

Quick photo of the bike i've been building over the last few weeks for Instagram, to use for future Ironman / triathlon training (current setup is brakeless such as for track but I will fit brakes to use on the road)
Leica M240 + Noctilux (stopped down)

I mentioned I used different lenses on the Hasselblad for my initial bike shoot but I realised I didn't post many hasselblad examples.
Here: Hasselblad H3D-31 + 50mm Zeiss Distagon f4 CF lens @f4, ISO 400
The 50mm was my favourite FL on the H3D for the bike shoot

This is what has been distracting me from my photography since getting back from Budapest. I enjoyed riding the retro single gear bikes so much in Budapest when I got home I dug out my Cinelli Black Rats Mystic from the garage and set to work to pimp my ride!
Amongst hours and hours of research I stumbled across the UK based wheel specialist, Drew at Spinonthese.com. He made me a custom hand built wheel set to meet my requests. They are more than just pretty wheels, they are quite unusual - 28mm wide deep carbon rims that allow tyres to be ran at a much lower pressure giving a far better ride/ handling for when i'm racing around. The exact model I went for were "DM8 Superleggero Series SL-FiftyEight Super Fast Boys" track wheels.
If you appreciate bikes as much as cameras I would highly recommend you check him out!
I used this shoot to compare 3 lenses on the digital Hasselblad to see which focal length I prefer, 150mm Zeiss Sonnar f4 CF, 120mm Zeiss Macro Planar f4 CF, 50mm Zeiss Distagon f4 CF.
This was with the H3D-31 + 120mm Zeiss Macro Planar f4 CF @f4, 1/125, ISO 400 just before the rain came

Last one.. my favourite bike photo of all 3 camera - Leica M8 wins! :)
--
I thought the hasselblad photo yesterday lacked any impact so set to work today to try to create a better photo.. I started with the little Lumix LX100.. to come.. and this was taken with my Leica M8.
I feel the Leica M8 did a much better job of capturing what I was hoping for. Guessing the 21mm lens field of view took a few attempts though! :) ..and crazy colour cast from the camera sensor/ lens combo (no IR filter)
Leica M8 + Zeiss ZM Biogon 21mm f2.8 lens
