Bonjour Henri,   I still prefer black and white film (I use almost no colour). The advantages of digital don’t mean much to me. Seeing instant results is not so useful, since what comes out of a cam

Thought of Phil. The small object on the center window sill is your basic Mason jar butt-kit. What it lacks in presenting a pleasing appearance, it makes up for in convenience and portability.

Thanks Wayne. I still have profound reservations when I hear the term "butt kit" - I like to think that a "butt" is something that you sit upon... Never having been a smoker I guess I fail to comprehend the utility of them either.

This is beautiful Wayne.

If I may make a small comment, I wish the composition was shifted slightly to the right to exclude what looks like a wooden pole.

Very nice, Mike.   Glad you went back.  Here is what I came up with during our visit...  I believe it was the first exposure, which with the ND filter was about 30 seconds  :)

This is really nice Adam. Really like the symmetry and the motion blurred humans :)

Here's another from the raging snow blizzard from last week (which was 2018, not 2017 per my last post :) )

Your snowstorm series are excellent, Adam. They combine horror, drama and humor all mixed together :D

Congratulations! Funnily, I did the same last week, but opted for the 50/1.2 unused. I am still hoping to receive the parcel within this week. Very excited!

 

Edward, Nice !

Did you go black or silver ?

I was really impressed when I picked it and held it for the first time. It felt very substantial and solid. No rattle, nothing moving if not meant to. 

Since I own quite a few of its cousins ( fe2, fm2, fa ) I had expected the feeling in hand to be the same, yet no, this Fm3a fellow does feel like a better, more solid camera. Also feels heavier a bit. But in that good kinda Leica heavy way lol. 

You will love it I am sure. 

Please share your thoughts when you do receive it.

another great image with your Foca Wayne 

I have many french friends who love film still keep this camera

 

Thanks, Henry. I am not sure what it is, but it impresses me that optical considerations/priorities in France may have been slightly different than at Leitz. I do not really prefer one over the other, but do very much enjoy the Bertiot, Angenieux, and now.....Oplar renderings. I will keep the Foca.

 

Best,

 

Wayne

 

Thank you for your comment Wayne

 

Nicely composed, great lines and curves.

 

Thank you Steve. I know you like black and geometric lines :)

A very good picture of this amazing building. The long exposure expands the dimensions, making the picture more lively. I like it a lot!

Thanks! I got a black one in mint condition from the FM buy and sell section. I also ordered a new 50/1.2 (seems to be the best 50 optically). Now you make me even more thrilled about it :)

 

By the way, which lenses would you recommend? I was thinking 28/2.8 and 85/1.4?
