The images will be individually processed so don't take this as how they will finally look. Plus don't judge sharpness as I hand held my Z7 over the lightpad, had it on auto ISO, and it was shot through the plastic sleeve!

This is amazing!

I recognized the last two images as mine.

It turns out there was still one frame left. I apologize for taking two pictures instead of just one.
Well, looks like I missed mine, so Fred got to take up the slack.
I happened to follow that whole debacle with the missing whereabouts for a month. When it got to me, I wasn't sure if it was cocked or not, so I shot and assumed it had been. Not wanting to "mess it up" for someone else, I sent it on from there. Apparently, I fired a blank.
Ahh ... such is life.
Sign me up for the next one.I'm sorry this happened, Russ. I’d love to see your image. I can definitely relate to what you described. I also wasn’t sure if I had taken the first picture since the film was already advanced when I received the camera. I was at a carnival, and it was so noisy that I couldn’t hear the shutter. Still, I do like the Ricoh camera; it provided some manual operation options.
I hear ya about the uncertainty. That's why I wrapped the camera in a sheet of paper that had a BIG NOTE on it ... SHUTTER COCKED (or something like that), when I sent it on.
+1 that it was a nifty little rig. I really dug how the lens scissored out on it.
As to the image, I can dig up a link to it ... turns out Steve Huff shot the same subject (different framing) while reviewing a Hassy, which I didn't see until after I'd shot mine. I was hoping to have it be in the project for posterity, but ... I reckon it just weren't meant to be.

About 2/3 of the way down, the rubble and graffiti. Just part of my stompin' grounds last year, as some urban renewal has begun nearby the Stan Musial Bridge.

Glad mine showed up. I hope the focus was ok
Looking forward to see the files.
We all have stories of missed opportunity and hiccups with photography, I think.
Mine happened just last week on my last scuba dive of the trip, switching my lens from wide angle to macro lens.
Went into water and viewfinder was dark. After almost 800 dives with my camera gear and the first time
in the last 15 years, I forgot to remove my lens cap
Of course, I found a number of interesting stuffs and a few shrimps that I never saw before on that dive

It is for this reason that I stick to one camera, one lens, set it up a few days in advance, and I religiously take a test shot before the camera is clear for a dive. A check list helps with this.
Where on FM do you post your scuba pics?

Leica M shooters are used to black shots because the lens caps were left on. Just think, if was a M camera you were diving with the entire dive would have produced blank images and you would never notice until you went to check them on the boat ride home.

I posted a few shots in Nikon forum, 105/2.8s and 14-30/4 image thread and a few on Z8/Z9 threads.
I usually tried not to change gears much during the trip. It was an 8 days trip and basically the first check dive was a macro dive then the rest of the trip was all wide angle. Then on the last day, it was a reef dive with some macro stuffs so I thought, what the heck and decided to switch to macro. Opps.

Recently we just a little laugh. One of a local politician, possibly our next prime minister took his Leica M out and
was taking photos of a journalist who was interviewing him. Somebody took snapshot of the event with his face pressed up against the viewfinder and saw that
the lens cap was on
Don't care much for the guy myself but it was funny that many people who did not like him just kept commenting about
an idiot who does not know how to take photograph or he was just showing off that he has a Leica but does not know
how to use it etc etc. Kind of irony upon an irony, I think

Hell yes, this is amazing to see!!! So relieved my shot actually came out and looks well exposed. I admit I was not 100% sure I had pressed the shutter, it was so quiet, lol.
This project is great, thanks to all involved

Overall they look really solidI am really looking forward to seeing the scanned images. Will we be stuck with what we shot, or will you send each of us the file so we can edit our own way?I'm hoping to have time to scan this evening. What else am I going to do as a single dood on a Friday night in Hermosa Beach?
You must have found a nice Southern Califronia Girl to occupy your time

Wow I'm surprised these turned out!!! Thought it would get irradiated at some point and get ruined. Great to see
But I took a digital camera and had a nice time anyway even if it got ruined. Glad they came out hope mines OK, doesn't look too bad.
