No masterpiece here, just my first roll of film with the AE1p, some examples testing the camera/Gold 200.

Well that is a shock for sure. RIP the legend Dolly Parton.

Here's my Dolly story. During the first Gulf War the Navy flew me and about 30 others to Bahrain on a 21 hour flight to meet our ships. They evidently only had three movies to play on the plane's big screen for either a calming influence before whatever was next, or a reminder of everything great about America. Thus a The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, 9 to 5, and [Lori Anderson as a poor man's Dolly] Stroker Ace marathon loop. Over and over. RIP Dolly.

🥺

A beautiful person inside and out, a talented musician, and an outright ICON. RIP Dolly! The world needs a LOT more people like her! EDIT: my favorite....Whitney was great but has nothing on Dolly for this....

Everyone is going to have their favorites. Here are mine.

This is very sad news. What a wonderful person she was. RIP to the legend too soon. 😢 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/arts/music/dolly-parton-dead.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Nice ride!

Void cat is checking out appreciating the heat radiating from a vintage Harman Kardon Citation V.

I've never used the F1, but my pal ChatGPT says it's a good price for the condition. This weekend went up to San Francisco or back to San Francisco. Way back. Fun time and with the M Monochrom (M9M) and the LLL 50mm f/1.5 Z21 (focus mid-frame and wider a challenge)

Having a little trashy fun.....one of my favorite bands to see live back in the day, along with a band I WILL see live for the first time in September. The Cramps - Gravest Gravy - bit bootleg sounding, but a compilation of early recordings. And Messer Chups - The Incredible Crocotiger; a fun Russian Surf-Rock-Horror-Exotica band.....they'll open for Reverend Horton Heat, another I haven't seen.

I find the AE1P fun, and so far it seems like something completely different... We'll see when I develop the film. As for the new F1, I'm curious... This guy is selling his new F1 and other stuff because he bought a Pentax 645.

I always dreamed of getting a Canon F1 when I had FD lenses. I found the AE1(p) super frustrating to shoot manually because of their meter displays. No idea if the price is good though.

I've been offered a Canon new F1 for €250. It doesn't look bad... do you think it's worth it if I already have the AE1p? PS: I've figured out why I've had so many problems connecting to the forum since last year... those bastards at "LaLiga" (Spanish football league) block Cloudflare whenever there are official matches. Te reason: Piracy... and I don't even like football. Now i need to use Cloudflare WARP.

Hi Spritzer, Thanks for the photos, do you know the purpose of PNP transistor on the up right corner, I checked mine, it's fzt795a and looks like all feet are connected to GND. Thanks.

Needs Banana for scale.

Nice day

Hi Ari!

Likely the last long training ride was accomplished today. I didn't start out intending to ride this far, but it happened and felt good.

Little bit out of my normal wheelhouse. Drove Alec back to Dallas today and he made me listen to country all the way.

In the cat's defense, there was no more practical way to get on top of the speaker.
