Presumptuous of me I know, as the new guy, but be keen to involve others in some of @MoonMind and my recent thoughts on a film challenge. Many, many moons ago on Serious Compacts I kicked off the "Single In" challenges. A photo-a-day challenge restricting the shooter to one camera/lens...

G'day everyone. Mark here from Australia. Thanks for the referral @MoonMind:thumbup: Didn't release Amin had opened up a film forum. Excellent!!! Been a Serious Compacts member for a looooong time. Love my film having cycled through my fair share of gear from Leicas M2 and M4-P, through to some...

...hugest thanks for all the advice and patience when I was looking for my new friend. I would not have found her without your help. Thanks one and all.... So now that the Fuji X-T2 has arrived and so I thought it fitting to start a new thread within the Fuji pool. Day One observations: 1. the...

G'day guys. It's been a while. I shan't apologise as, as...well life just takes over (or is that "gets in the way") sometimes... So I'm after another camera, and since I've been out of the loop for so long, would really appreciate your more intimate advice. I'm after a compact camera - fixed...

Hey I know my site stats betray that I may have visited here once or twice in the past, but I have been away for some time and thought it rude just to jump back in. I have a long history with serious compact cameras ;) but left to pursue film exclusively...well with a smattering of Canon...

Not sure what I did with this post - but obviously the scripting doesn't like the brackets I have used or something else in the content. The post draws short halfway and is not displaying the remaining text below...or any other content. Can you please alter the text in some way so the entire...

First month of a new year and we're full of resolutions - let personal regret be the stuff of February, for together we have January my friends. :wink: Not sure about your own individual resolution, whether it's to get familiar with that new Christmas camera, to assuage the guilt and use the...

As initiated by Thomas (trisberg) looking to see if we have enough interest in another "Single in…" challenge. If you're up for it then please register your interest here before 31 December 2014. For those not sure if they are interested - or what the plum a "Single In" challenge involves -...

I have the opportunity to choose between these two lenses and price is not a deciding factor; not because I'm rich (quite the opposite) but there is a used Zeiss going for similar money as a new Fuji 35/1.4. I've always been a fan of Zeiss - ZM on film. 2/3 of a stop is not a clincher for...

This is insane, no way I wrangle the letters seems to work. Has something gone wrong with embedding YouTube videos? I tried the push button way: > Hit "Insert Video" button from toolbar > Paste URL from YouTube "Share link" …that creates gobbledygook on the message. i.e.: I paste full URL ("")...

Just bumping my Classifieds thread and noticed the uncanny resemblance between the emoticon and I. Be keen to know which emoticon you resemble. :bump: = :Mark:

I'm always intrigued by photos that portray the tension between the still and the dynamic - it's often an image with dynamic content whose composition conveys a sense of stillness, a still subject with a strong sense of movement, or simply the contrast of the two in a singe frame. Wonder if...

Even though I see them every single day I just never tire of roos (kangaroos). Amazingly they say the longer and higher they jump, the less energy they use. Astounding creatures. I so adore them in motion….maybe in the next life (if I'm good in this one) I'll experience that feeling for myself...

Like many folks on here I've had some images requested by Getty Images on Flickr and even made some coffee money for my trouble.:biggrin: I know a few years ago Getty accepted Leica X1 images but I've heard little about other compacts beyond that. My research has yielded something as vague as...

Well I'm enjoying getting to know my IIIf. The Summicron (50mm) has its quirks but I really like its balance of contrast and sharpness, well ultimately its rendering so far. The IIIf has been transformed since getting the SBOOI (50mm viewfinder) and that bright 1:1 view is a revelation. This VF...

Was interesting to visit the Wool Testing Authority yesterday and watch a step in the wool processing that I wasn't even aware of…here's a few glimpses as seen with the IIIf and Summicron. And for the film folks out there, shot again with TMY2 (TMax400) developed in the let of my Perceptol (1+3)...

Not all images of trees have it, but for some there is a certain sadness. Not sure whether you agree (or it's a side-effect of my medication :blush:…. ….happy to hear if anyone has found the same and even happier to see it. sadness of the trees - tear by stillshunter, on Flickr...

I don't think many would dispute - well there's always one or two isn't there :rolleyes: - that the daddy of all Serious Compacts would be Oskar Barnack who created the original 35mm back at the turn of the 20th Century. Let us all give thanks to the Creator :hail: Well my photography has...

Being an ex-smoker I now have the benefit of 'new eyes'. It is curious now looking into the smaller and smaller boxes created for smokers to allow them their expensive pleasure in public. There is a guilty voyeurism about watching them huddled together within the bounds of the yellow line - "no...

Not sure if this is of any interest to anyone on here, but I'd recently had the opportunity to trial a Fed-2 with Industar-61 L/D and thought I'd do an unfair comparison to my current popular Japanese 70's compact RF, the Minolta 7sII. Must say when I received the Fed-2 and even after having...

another from the visiting Fed-2 and Industar-61 I really did like this rendition of my old friend look to the light by stillshunter, on Flickr Kodak TMY2 (TMax400), Ilford Perceptol 1+3 - 17mins @ 20deg.

Been contemplating my GAS recently - and I know I am in good company here :tomato2:. I was mulling over some of the cameras I miss and some I even regret selling. I think this is pretty natural as GAS finds you looking so far ahead that you don't see (let alone appreciate) what's in front of...

Thought it might be interesting to share black and white images taken from both digital and film (for those still holding onto the old ways) media - and especially if there's similarities enough that they can be compared. Here's two images from a recent day out - both taken with serious...

This camera had never really entered my consciousness, actually I never knew it even existed. But I spied it out of the corner of my eye the other day at the store, and I've not been able to shake it ever since. Love that the top and bottom plates are made brass. Oh man I want to buy a black...

I posted a thread earlier asking about the companionship or rivalry of the X100s and GR. As the GR bends to my will a little more, or is that visa versa :wink: it's got me thinking a little more about compact kit. A nice compliment to 28mm to my thinking is probably 50mm (or thereabouts) - well...

You'd have to be living under a rock to not notice the love for some of today's great cameras - especially the Fuji X100s or Ricoh GR. The "or" is used very deliberately as it does seem a case of either/or generally (please let's not argue Kierkegaard). I have an X100s and am enjoying it a lot...

There's a lot of gear talk in this place, well let's talk less and see more. This thread is to show, tell and talk about your current gear. I'd expect that folks won't just post once, but revisit over the months and years and we'll see how bad your GAS has gotten and got. So money, here's...

Thought it might be a temporary glitch but a few days in I'm still having issues with the Front Page. If I use the link from Serious Compacts (top-ish right alongside the mu43, LeicaPlace, etc. links) I'm transported to the Front Page no problems. But once I've done some browsing on FujiXspot...

Parts of this interview gave me goosebumps... [video=youtube_share;S3eSMVsRqww]
