New #bramleyapple blossoming on the 🍏 tree…

Not much of a teaser, this first photo of Maria is the actual first photo I took of her yesterday, with our mutual embarrassment, and a mark of her glasses on the nose.
It was shot on the Fujifilm GFX at ISO 1.600, same ISO as yesterday's photo of Cristiana, but Maria's photo is of a much better quality, thanks to the more sensitive medium format sensor.
The lens was the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2, used at f2.8, and it behaved very well indeed, even if I have to admit this photo is slightly cropped, there was no need to do it for vignetting's sake, just for the composition.
Quality is top and the fall off of sharpness on the out of focus areas looks great.

I'm showing you this first picture to conclude the great technical argument about the new camera, because from here onwards everything becomes a blur, and Maria and me didn't behave very well, contrary to the Zeiss glass...
Maria has been a great model, and has become instantly one of my all time favorite!
She was so adventurous that, at the end of the set, we even tried painting her light colored skin with a couple of spanks, as she was not going to make any more shootings during the day.

I seem to remember having used 3 lenses with the GFX: Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 100mm f2, Leica Summicron-M 50mm, Nikon 85mm f2 AI-s, but I might have difficulties identifying which I was using in every photo, apart from the Summicron, for the heavy mechanical vignetting.
I also used a couple of other cameras, for a total of 909 photos.

The room was very small, as advertised on the website, and pleasantly outdated.

Tomorrow I will post 3 more photos of Maria, on my various platforms, and I will tell you more about this beautiful creature.
