I ♥ my IIIF

should be here monday and then I'll play in the november barnack challenge

 

Hope you enjoy using the IIIf.

 

Though I think the OKARO - the little orange glass to increase the contrast in the rangefinder - is on the wrong side. So you will see the whole rangefinder in orange-yellow, which doesn't help. If you put it on the other side, you will see the contrasting segments of the rangefinder better.

I use the OKARO on the right hand window, as in the picture, when the rangefinder image is dim. This reduces the overall image brightness so that it matches the brightness of the dimmer rangefinder patch. I've tried both windows. Placing the filter on the right window (facing the front of the camera) works best for me.

How do you know you love it when you don't have it yet? ;)

 

The same way I know a threesome with penelope cruz and salma hayek would be a pleasant experience - :cool:

Hmmm... you never know... fantasy and reality generally don't match. ;)

 

so, it got here earlier than expected -- thursday I loaded it up -- will finish the roll today =-- finder is bright, it's a nice pieve of equipment

 

yeah, the fantasy does line up with reality on many things
