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. 5 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. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was supposed to look like prohibition era booze storage, but it was actually a garlic processing plant so the joke was on our noses.

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 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (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.
