EdipisReks1 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Kodak Gold 200 120 loaded. Kentmere should be here before the trip this weekend. I’m looking forward to taking a portrait of Heather in her new hometown on medium format. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 (edited) Received my F100. It’s unused as far as I can tell. Not bad for $235 with a 35mm f/2. It operates like a modernish camera, certainly very similar to a Nikon DSLR. I doubt it’ll still be working in 100 years, like my beloved FM2, but I think this is my go to 35mm, now. It’s really nice! Massively more modern than the N8008 (which is a perfectly good AF body). Going to run some long expired Kodak Gold 400 pushed a couple stops. From what I’ve seen Kodak Gold maintains color, it just gets less sensitive. Edited March 27 by EdipisReks1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckledragger Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 I own a lot of lenses, but end up using a 50/1.8 almost all of the time. All of these were taken with it and my 5D4, at ISO 200. F/9, 1/400. F/9, 1/200. F/8, 1/40. F/10, 1/500. F/8, 1/320. F/8, 1/200. F/7.1, 1/320. F/5, 1/125. F/8, 1/160. I took this one with the 50/1.4 at F/4, 1/80. The 1.4 has significantly more barrel distortion than the 1.8, which is never noticeable in actual photos. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Leica didn’t open the camera, so it goes to Video Cam Repair dot Com for cleaning. $220 seems reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Speaking of lenses and Leicas, took out the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 on the SL2 Sunday. Helped a friend shoot a band. I was second camera so zero pressure. Most of me loves the lens. My lower back is the contrarian. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdipisReks1 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Great pics, Ric! The Leica has fungus amongus, so repair is a bit more expensive. But less than Leica wanted. The Yashicaflex also has already failed, so I’m 0-2 this week. I *think* I got some decent shots on the Yashica over the weekend, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 (edited) I have the Yashica working: that was some fiddly work, but it came down to cleaning and lubricating the shutter release. I have five rolls of Kodak Gold and three rolls of Portra 400 in 120, so I’m eager to get snapping with the Yashica. Q is in repair now, so maybe I’m 2 for 2 after all (results pending). Having put a couple rolls through the FM2 lately has me looking at the DF: surprisingly pricy by DSLR standards in 2024, but lots of low shutter count examples in Japan.

EdipisReks1 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) Got the Q back from repair. Of course I managed to not have any batteries with me (I’m out of town), so I can’t test it. They returned my lens cap, which is a good sign. Generic batteries and charger arriving tomorrow. If it works properly, even with the repair cost, I got a good deal. If not, well, in for a penny in for a pound and I send it to Leica for their replacement parts, and thus I will have gotten a very bad deal. Q2 money, then.

EdipisReks1 Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 (edited) I couldn’t be happier with the Q fix. It is clear that “general cleaning” involved disassembling the lens, as there is zero dust now (there was a little dust in the lens before, but the main issue was the fungus on the sensor). A great camera and hopefully one I’ll get a lot of use out of. Edited April 27 by EdipisReks1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padam Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 (edited) Now that I have some in-house comparisons, I can see the D700 greatness even more. (Sorry about colors, not made with it...) The NIB one on the right might just rest in its box or in a display cabinet until the end of time out of respect. Rest will probably have to go, but a user D700 is always good to have, just can't name any camera with a better out for that kind of money. Older cameras are still fun, but it must have felt like a quantum leap with regards to AF, handling and responsiveness from any previous model. And they've made various changes to later ones, which weren't really improvements overall, while also loosing the 'picturesque magic'. Keen to re-visit the 5D Classic, less weight will be welcome, but AF, metering, sensor performance etc. will be a big step back. Also got the Canon R8, one of the best compact photo/video travel cameras out there around the 1000$ mark. Some may find it a bit minimalistic compared to a R6 (II), but all the gripes I had with the RX1RII are not a problem with this. I just wish that beautiful Zeiss lens could be carried over somehow, and I need to use ES mode for silent operation.

EdipisReks1 Posted Friday at 04:31 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 04:31 AM (edited) Shots back from The Darkroom. If I didn't know better I would think I had found some old pics in the bottom of a long forgotten box. HP-5 400 is way too grainy for daylight candids, but I love how it looks like the 90s. The shots from the Yashica (well, the in focus ones) look very much like they were shot on a camera from the 1960s. This was with new Kodak Gold 200. I definitely want a better medium format camera (the viewfinder is very dim on mine), but I can't say I'm too mad about the ones that were in focus and had decent composition (I'm still not used to things being backwards).
