I thought it was a Panasonic S5 (which is a good camera and value in its own right). Always been curious about the Fuji CCDs. Can we send one of those around next?
I finally got around to processing a roll of film I shot using Nippi. These were shot using my Nikon S2. The challenge is that the S2 viewfinder shows a crop for the 50mm lens. I don't have an external viewfinder for 85mm, so I had to guess at my actual image area, making sure that I didn't crop too tight.

I have noticed in recent years that the images seem sharper on this thread and I wonder if people are experiencing the same thing I have. My old Nikkors got much sharper once I got mirrorless and started using focus peaking. It seems so much easier to focus and bring out the quality of some of these older lenses. Are most you guys using that technology these days or is it mostly my own private epiphany?

At Fleet Week in Baltimore today. The largest helicopter that the US military has, the CH-53. The announcer was explaining those two things on the side of the fuselage are fuel tanks. SikorskyCH-53 by Maryland Photos, on Flickr

I actually observed the opposite about a year ago. In fact, I thought some of my photos were suffering greatly to the point where I had a conversation with Fred about it. My theory at the time was that the site was compressing the images. This is what Fred said: "At FM, we want to assure you that we do not compress or alter any images uploaded to our platform".
I've said all of that to say this...I haven't noticed a lack in sharpening in some time now. I did change up a little when uploading from Flickr, not sure if that's what it was or not. All seems fine now.
