A miller Posted February 12, 2016 Share #11082 Posted February 12, 2016 Wow I wouldn't have thought Ektar would produce colours like this. I would have guessed this is Portra 160. Very nice. And nicely lined up verticals, too Thanks, Philip. Interesting reaction. The light wasn't dramatic by any means although it was about 3:30pm in January so that would make it about 30-45 before the onset of the sunset. The Ektar picked up some lovely blue in the water, which was nice, and the burnt orange in the buildings, which I would expect Portra to render more pastel or neutral. In any case, yes, not very saturated and more normal looking, for sure. Thanks again! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things that brought me back to 35mm. Thanks, Trev. Me and Steve were a riot. Steve had his stealthy M-A and a few lenses and was fluttering around the observatory like tinker-bell while I stayed in one place the entire time (most bent over or squatting) and got my ass and back sore, which was about 3 hours I have one or two more interesting ones to share later, but Steve certainly did very well with his Leicas and portra. I will say, though, as much as it sucked to be stuck in that one place, the result of being able to print the mere couple of keepers the size of a wall with no problem is quite satisfying...

honcho Posted February 12, 2016 Share #11090 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Gary, for your interest this is pretty much how my GSW690iii is permanently set up for black and white landscape photography: Heliopan O22 for a normal range of shutter speeds, or B&W 6 or 10 stop neutral density filters plus the O22 for very long exposures.

honcho Posted February 12, 2016 Share #11094 Posted February 12, 2016 The viewfinder eyepiece is often missing from second hand Fuji GS/GSW cameras. It is the same size and thread pitch as a standard Nikon F series eyepiece such as the FE and commonly available if yours is missing. Mine is held fast by a tiny dab of adhesive.

christoph_d Posted February 12, 2016 Share #11095 Posted February 12, 2016 I think your new camera has potential. Very nice. I just sent my Ricoh GR1V to the Square Warranty company for a look at what appears to be imperfect autofocus and metering. Due to its age, I doubt they will be able to fix it, so I am hoping for a refund of my purchase price. I though about the Minolta TC1 (as well as the Contax). I wanted a 28mm, so that eliminated the Contax. I can't quite remember what drew me away from the Minolta, but it certainly won out in the construction category. I think if the GR1V worked perfectly, it would really be quite a nifty tool. The ability to change aperture on a dial on the camera and zone focus at 1, 2 and 3 meters is quite cool. I just wish the flash could work at high shutter speeds. Any way, those compact film camera are really cool and I think everyone should have one (that works properly) Adam, A thought to a post from you from December. As an alternative (simple) camera you could consider a Bessa-L, and combine it with any screwmount lens + finder. For the wideangle views you are after, focus accuracy is not an issue and it is easy to guess the distance sufficiently accurate. Many do this well with the 40mm lens of the Rollei 35. The Bessa is also quite light, and has a build-in light meter, and is quite cheap. Admittedly the build quality is not quite up to Leica standards, the shutter is a bit louder (but goes up to 1/2000), and relative to a Rollei 35 it is quite big.
