those Bronica's look very clunky when sat next to your Hasselblad.
Which do you prefer using?

That's a pretty amazing photo, and the setup shot is really cool. Must have taken awhile

My fingers are getting weak and clumsy, so I've been using the soft releases and it help so I can press the button.

They're bigger, but I don't know that I'd call them clunky.
I've used the S2 the most and I really like it. The Hassy is new to me and I've not used it enough to really say. I do like it so far though.

... if it's filled with this?

I had to make a budget decision when I found out that Arista Premium 400 was in fact discontinued. This will keep me going for a couple of years.

Sound investment as far as I'm concerned!

I've got a nice little fridge like that but it's filled with bottled water.

I need to remedy that...

Normally I am not a big fan of Canon, but this one kind of fell into my lap; even came with a proper working battery ... think that I will keep it around a bit. Salut, J

I have nothing this grand, but have acquired my very first Nikon for it's historical interest; the F2 made from 1971 to 1980. This is a well travelled example, but is claimed to be fully functional. It certainly must have some stories to tell.

That was the camera of my dreams in high school. In black, of course.

Is there anything else???

A Little bit; ever since high school.

Into The Lens · 09-28-2014, 09:17 AM

New vs old...

Fuji X100S with lens hood.

Minolta HI-Matic F with Minolta 20 flash

Yes. There was also Tri-X Pan Professional ( 320) back then too.

vinceloc · 09-28-2014, 08:19 PM

A combination of old and new. Now I wonder if I am evolving or digressing with age?

Cuthbert · 09-29-2014, 06:41 AM

Nice camera, how is the Notkon in comparison to the Pentax K 50 mm f1.4?

Good luck, IntoTheLens! A common issue with these is that the winder will skip frames. In mine, I just kept working the winder for a couple hundred shots (no film) and now it doesn't skip anymore. I guess they just get a bit lazy and out of shape, and need the exercise

I'd love to see what you get out of the 50 and the 31!

I just received my P30t today. It's in a really good condition, looks almost new. The seller was nice enough to include 2 fresh cells. But I'm not sure I undestand how the metering system works. I put my 31mm lens on it to test it. From what I can make out of it, I can either use it in Av mode, Tv mode or TAv mode if the aperture and speed dials are bots on A. But how and where do I set the ISO? Cheers!!
