Oh wow. I all of a sudden got interested in that XE4 27mm kit. And I've happily ignored almost every Fuji up to this point. But the prospect of a small body with an EVF and very few little buttons on the back, direct manual controls and a 40mm-equivalent lens? That sounds kind of wonderful. Like...

So, I thought I hadn't taken any pictures Tuesday. But then today I switch my.camera on and went back through the images and remembered - oh yeah, I snapped this through the bedroom doorway on my lunch break! I liked the light and the colors. Still do.

The sun peeked out for a moment on my way out the front door.

That's a really good price. I've all but given up on accessory finders for the GR, I just never take to them... But my film Bessa T literally requires them, so I'm always kind of on the lookout.

It's a beast! Actually downsampling from 8.6K to 8K video, now that's just boasting. But yeah, as many are saying, Sony is the one pushing FF mirrorless forward, forcing the other manufacturers to keep up. L-mount is a good thing but wouldn't exist in its current form without the help of Sony...

And why not try testing the market with something other than Olympus rehashed formula? Like what about a simplified body with few buttons and controls for the purists? An LCD-screenless body? Maybe a compact body with vlogging capabilities and a good EVF like the G100? Let's see some...

Our anniversary today, I hope dinner doesn't make anyone jealous (it was tasty).

I like it - I hope so!

Oh man, do I love zucchini bread. The key to eating zucchini (other than bread) is harvesting it young and sauteing it quickly in a very hot wok.

Great stuff, Miguel! That Automat Glass looks so cool. I have to admit that, while instant film makes perfect sense for a challenge side quest like this, I never even considered it for my weekends. It looks a good deal easier than sitting for half the day in front of the computer and scanner! :P

No particular inspiration manifested this grey, chilly day. Doing the last dishes I found the too-ripe bananas (destined for banana bread, hopefully) seemed to have a similar level of energy to me.

A few selects from the summer roll developed and scanned today: Next weekend, for sure, will be some HP5, I'm planning on filling the roll as much as possible over the week instead of in a couple of excursions on the weekend, hopefully more interesting results will... result.

Well, I must admit that I failed this weekend, and the past week, to shoot even a single frame of film. Saturday I was busy with various things until it was practically dark outside, and the roll of HP5+ loaded into my 500G only has the potential of going up to 800, it's unfortunate that that...

You have a characteristic color and lighting treatment that I consistently enjoy.

Lonely pallets outside the grocery store.

I can't help but hear the Imperial March playing in my head...

Lazy post-work evening. This is a pixel-shift JPEG, not that the scene merited or benefited from it. New accessory for the old GR.

That setup sounds like one of the few Fuji's I'd get really jazzed about.

We drove through some of our favorite redwoods today.

If a tree falls... Sadly didn't remember to adjust out of f11, it was too dark and resulted in high ISO, but I suspect a true desktop edit of the RAW will look pretty good.

I'm really fond of CRKT's Pilar folder, I have the Pilar II which is the larger model. A Pilar III was just featured in an everydaycarry.com email a little while back with more of a spear point. I suspect I will have to get it.

Very nice! I hesitate to call the collecting of edged weapons a vice, however, if strictly for the reason that it might convey the wrong idea about why we want them... What were you intending to get?

It still catches the light, I feel like I'm there!

I definitely get this way, and have, earlier this month. Right now we're away from home for a couple nights, and the welcome change of scenery has helped a lot. But I have found that picking either an unfamiliar kit or one which hasn't really worked out perfectly yet is one of the best ways to...

Man, in the right light, your setup really shines. Or it might also be the processing unit responsible for pressing the shutter!

It's clear that the monochrome modes in Panasonic cameras were styled to replicate B&W film with a color filter. I've wondered before what it would be like shooting digital with a color filter in place... I might give it a try with the GF7, currently the only Panasonic left in the house, in a...

I won't lie, half the reason I tried out an LX100II was for L Mono D, if the results had been the same as the GX9 with the 20mm 1.7 or 30mm 1.4, I'd have had a difficult monetary justification to try and make! Unfortunately the sensor/lens combo just don't have the same secret sauce as the GX9...

Those look good, really good. I did use dynamic monochrome a little in older Lumixes, but not enough. Here's some examples of the L Monochrome, came before the "D" variant and debuted in the GX85 I think. It's a more muted style, especially with the green filter which I think I chose for most of...

Snapseed edit from RAW.

That's one reason I don't like focus by wire mirrorless lenses much anymore (that that you were using one of these), you can't just rack focus to infinity and shoot. I appreciate lenses with good focus throws and clear markings more and more the longer I use a rangefinder. The Ricoh GR III is...

Way too much of today spent involved with this.

Alright, some images for this weekend. Saturday's shot turned out woefully underexposed, plus got more than its share of dust and scratches from hanging too close to the edge of the bathtub. I, however, created these rules, so I must man up and post it in all its inadequacy. Today's images...

Roll shot & drying now! I only got like one or two shots Saturday, out a window, so Saturday's entry will be very boring. Sunday, today, I took the camera down to the shore. This weekend's roll was Fomapan 100, and my main object was to try out 3 39mm filters I just got in from the Bay, check my...

I had no good ideas yesterday, so my "editing setup" for this challenge was all I had to share.

Some sensors definitely handle nighttime and low light in a more organic way. I'm finding the Sigma KP does that too.

I think the Instax B&W treatment of the snowy conditions works very well! It's also nice to see the the RF70's larger photos can produce some decent resolution, even in a scan.

Today was another long day. I did not try very hard, for either the daily entry or today's outtake.

I know what you mean. On top of it, the days are so short that by the time I get out of work, it's dark. I've been trying to use that to my advantage and get dark, moody out of doors shots with reflections, lights, puddles and rainfall, all that. Of course, Oregon is bipolar during the winter...

In other news: I think this challenge is helping me overcome one of my main objections initially to the KP: wifi phone transfer is prohibitively slow. I worked out a solution before the challenge started, to be fair, but as I've used it for every day so far this month, I've been finding it to be...

I'm with you guys on this subject, for sure. Overly complicated, "computer-y" cameras are incredibly frustrating, and I would lump the number of tiny physical buttons both Oly and Panasonic puts on their cameras into this general complaint as well. I like to carry my cameras in my hand, and I...

Gotcha. I lean towards trying out the Lomo'Instant Automat Glass.

The Sofort is so beautiful, they really got the design right with that one. It is a little discouraging to hear that they took the exposure compensation feature away - my wife has the Neo 90 and I've made use of that feature many times in taking pictures of her and friends when requested. All in...

Funny, I just realized I referred to Matt as the commissioner in my first post, then to myself as commissioner in a reply to Matt. I'm clearly not getting enough sleep lately.

Here are the remaining selections from weekend 2's roll of Pancro 400:

After work, a shot near the local pub that has featured in an earlier SiJ. And no, not my after-work watering hole (not lately, especially). Just one of the only establishments with the lights on and the sidewalk not rolled up by 6 pm!

So cool! I've thought of scanning some Instax on my Epson V550, I do wonder how good of a scan you can get. I'll let you know!
