Shot on a Mamiya C220 with the 80mm f2.8 - Kentmere 400 pushed 3 stops. Developed at home using HC-110. Accidental double exposure on my test roll, but came out pretty nice in my opinion.

My vote goes to the 56mm f1.4. The 75mm has slightly shallower depth of field at equivalent head shots but it's much harder to use due to the narrower field of view. Apart from the depth of field, the sigma does everything else a bit better (weight, size, light gathering, weather sealing...

I really feel the G9 has made this lens so much better.

It's so goofy looking like that. And I love it. :giggle: Honestly the 20mm f1.7 feel much more responsive attached to the G9. Very impressive!

Managed to snatch a very good deal: I got a mint G9 with 1500ish shutter count for 400 + extra oem battery. Sooo lucky!

Meeeeeh

Yeah, happy to share some pics when I have a few keepers. I got the back from Ebay. There is a person in the UK making these.

This is my instabro or bronistax, a Zenza Bronica ETRSi + 75mm f2.8. With a instax mini back (manual crank). It's so cute and stumpy. I freakin love it!! Sadly my original 75mm EII had a sticky leaf shutter so bought a mega cheap MC version on Ebay. Side effect is that's it much shorter and a...

A beautiful and old solution to an existing problem (film prices etc..) I'm very much a form over function kinda gal, but this seemed like a sweet spot. Now to shoot 72 exposure! (this might take a while). Ooh and now I have a Pen F and a Pen-F!

I am really not too impressed by this new offering. I never thought this camera needed more megapixels. IBIS is welcome, that I will admit. Buuut I'd rather they made the optical viewfinder experience more ... useful, like maybe a proper rangefinder experience? Most people use the EVF, it's just...

Sorry to hear that news. But.. I do enjoy a good 'ol "**** it!" once in a while! I hope you can enjoy that camera for years to come!

I have a custom made Instax Mini (it's like ~95% coverage of 645 medium format) back for my Bronica ETRSi on the way. I really look forward to it! This would make it to around 90 cents per shot. It's very crazy that this has the potential to be cheaper than shooting 120 film! Even cheap black...

Yes! From my limited research I would like either a Voigtländer Ultron 40mm f/2 variant or some "vintage" version of a nikkor 50mm f1.4 (there are so many versions.. sigh) A good version of the Helios 44-2 adapted (if that's possible?) would also be on my short list. Regardless, it's still way...

If I ever feel the need to buy a DSLR it will most likely be the Nikon Df paired with manual optics. But I need to offload some gear first I think. I also don't want to buy too much "new to me" gear at the same time. I'd rather take a few months to let my camera things settle. See what gets...

+1 for the Laowa 10mm f2. It's a lovely little thing.

From my very limited understanding, the syncing of the shutter with the back is all done trough a PC sync cable. I don't have to figure that out (I hope).

Quick snapshot of a bronica ETRSi waistlevel viewfinder

I've been mulling this over, but would love your thoughts on this. I got the Bronica ETRSi mainly to shoot instax mini (and that will be up and running a few weeks) And that's perfectly valid and fine, like I could opt to shoot 120 film etc .. all that good stuff. BUT! I'm a digital gal.. I...

Oh dear, I did a thing.. I just got a Zenza Bronica ETRSi with a 75mm f2.8 and 150mm f3.5 waist level viewfinder and 120 back. I've never shot film in my life 😅

Welcome!

Yes! Same! I honestly don't feel safe walking around with a camera that's worth that much either. Even with my pen-F I sometimes think about not taking it. In case I get mugged or something.

Got one for 500 ish euros. Pretty quirky camera. The lens is amazing and the files are great. Only issue I personally have with it is the AF. It's slow and doesn't do a great job. Buuut I found the MF trick where you turn the macro dial and that seems to have transformed this camera (in a good...

Oh my! That's amazing! Would it be possible to add the newer film sims as well? Like Nostalgic neg, Bleach bypass or Reala ACE?

I never ever use DoF scales or range-focusing. My copy of this lens can focus way beyond infinity as well. It's not ideal for that. It's safe to say that I only use this lens for the shallow depth of field and bokeh. Which is like 95% of my photography.

Hi! At f 0.95 and close up it's not that sharp, I find the lens is way sharper when it's focused at something ~1m away. I almost always have the lens at max aperture, but will bump it to f1.1 or f1.2 if I have difficulty focusing. I have a focusing tab set up on the lens focus barrel, so it's...

LX100. Mike drop

Indeed! It's frustratingly slow. Depends on what you shoot as well. I never shoot action, so it doesn't super matter. But for <200 euro it's too good of a deal.

I personally don't like it's bokeh, size and price. I think it can't compete with the Panasonic 20mm f1.7, a lens which has, imo, amazing rendering.

It's a ring-tailed lemur.

It's my favorite lens ever. It's my "nifty fifty" that I keep going back to, again and again.

Two new things. While offloading my Fuji gear I got some new toys: I got my self a Lumix G100/G110. I'm hoping it can replace my E-pl9. First impressions are not too bad! I like the EVF and the size. I am puzzled by some of the off decisions the cameras does, like I can't use any mechanical...

Some pics of mine. I feel like it's cheating as I live in Ireland..

No churches this time!

If I get it, I will most likely get the EVF with it later on. I am aware it adds a bit of bulk, but in my purse it should be alright. I am used to the E-PL8 + VF-4 (actually kinda hoping it can replace it). It is still a pricy camera for it's age though.. Ideally I want to consolidate my gear a...

Any idea if the Sony RX1R is any good "in 2023"? I can maybe get one for <750 euro (with a few extra batteries).

Thank you so much!

It's a hobby, it doesn't need to make sense. It's just something we enjoy. An AI isn't goin to have the same "eye" as us either.

f0.95 100% crop

f6 ish wide open, love the dreamy feel f3 wide open wide open

Thank you! Um. It's been a while since I've taken these. If I had to guess, both were f2 - f4 ish.

Ugh, so true! Trigger warning (equipment abuse): The reason why I enjoy rangefinders more is that I often leave cameras in my shoulder bag, lens attached. No padding, no lens caps even, but the do have hoods. If cameras have EVF bumps it's much harder to do this. It's bulkier and snags on...
