Some old shots I've taken with my 35's
SMC Tak 35/3.5 (which does not need any further introduction):
M 35/3.5:
Mamiya/Sekor 35/2.8:
Auto Chinon 35/2.8:
One more as this lens (Auto Chinon) gets the least amount of love among its 35mm fellows:
I've showcased in order of usage and likability on my behalf. Someday I will go pass film-day lenses and figure out what I am missing...

Seems like ages since I post here overall... but my brief list includes my favorite Pentax lens...
M 28/2.8 first version - mine apparently is an exceptional copy. Not bragging on my ability but on the lens'... It is pure magic.
 Astoria | Randall's Island | LIC | Manhattan by Edgar Omar, on Flickr
M 35/2.8 which I like but for some reason not my fav 35mm
 Airtram de Roosevelt Island by Edgar Omar, on Flickr
M 50/1.7 which is an amazing 1.7 lens... easier to use than the 50/1.4 (A version) for some reason...
 City from Spanish Harlem by Edgar Omar, on Flickr
M 80-200mm 4.5 which is an astonishing and ultra cheap zoom glass
 M 80-200mm 4.5-505373-1 by Edgar Omar, on Flickr
Some of these shots have been featured here in this thread over the years, just disclosing.

X-Mas music in the Puerto Rico I grew up with the family (1980s-1990s)... Song is older than this, but this is part of my X-mas youth soundtrack

Honestly, you're 100% on this.
I have a train station 4 blocks away from my home that would drop me off at Penn Station within 45-50 mins, door to door.
At any other stage of my life, I'd taken an afternoon and headed there, or a Sunday morning (Sat they close Shabbos). Right now, dealing with a 6 YO and an 11 MO are taking a toll on having "my own" life.
After I saw your comment I said to my self "man you need to get out more"; would've been nice walking around BH undisturbed with $200 to burn... Well, it could have been a bad idea as well, you know, GAS...

Thank you!
Thus far I've only printed a few of the kids and family - fun, but not something I want to share online.
I will eventually look at some of my old shots to see what fits the frame. I'll post here if anything good comes out.
I am also inclined to start shooting at the 1:1 aspect ratio framing, some shots - not all the time. I reckon it adds a bit of fun to shooting. My E-M1 does this aspect ratio, so that should be easier there.
One thing - I read about Zink and was disatisfied, especially after seeing some YouTube results videos (1-1-1 comparisons, Kodak or Polaroid vs Instax vs Zink - Zink always was "bad"... the better one according to the video was the first, but the Instax I think held its own). I also read that Zink may fade quicker than instax... The last thing I disliked about Zink was the sticky backs - they do not make non-sticky back paper...
But if you go for it and it works for you, please share! Sometimes reviwers and forums are "inaccuarate".

I wanted to thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this!
I am very thankful for your inputs and ideas.
Everyone gonna go bonkers, but I got myself a straight consumer product, but one that thus far I LOVE...
I got an Instax Square Link Printer (for mobile device via bluetooth). Got as well a total of 80 prints (they go for about 0.90 per print).
This is awesome, not only does it print your mobile shots (I reently got a Samsung S23, so it is a nice camera phone), but also, if you import your digital files to your mobile, then you can print those as well. Pretty neat.
They had a mini, square and wide version... I went with square just because of issues I read re the wide that images will get cropped... You can message me if you want more info, I did a good 10 hrs of research on the instax and other mobile printer devices!
Thanks folks!

those brick towers really define it.
I've walked many times around Astoria Park, where the eastern tower stands... it is massive! like a building all on its own.
Who ever laid the last brick in that edifice surely patted it and stated "yep, that ain't going no where".

Slowhand Album.
My first Eric Clapton experience (I'm in early 40s). I really dig this album... loving the blues/country mix feel it has... any follow ups to be recommended?

Sorry, did not mean to make it a competition...
This is it right here! This is what got me off the GAS - everything I get new, will usually be better than what was there before, yet there is still something out there even better.
I gave up!
