Hi All,

I've been looking at these old images trying to figure out what kind of set up I can adapt to either my Leica DMR or Canon bodied systems to produce something similar to the soft yet sharp old images. I'd rather achieve the effect directly rather than doing it in photoshop but all ideas are welcome. Not all of these are from the same photog or camera but have a similar effect. I'm not an expert but, It looks like some where made with view cameras and some with fixed lens type of cameras and some may have been softend in the darkroom and some prints may have had the details drawn in. btw: There are tons of old images on the parent website that I am linking to that are very interesting and availble for viewing only for personal use. Thanks in advance for any comments ideas and thoughts you can share. Also I am not aware of the original photographers so if anyone know who some of them were that would also be helpful.
