The F6 is like buttah. My FG - the mirror slap DOES create image blur at speeds 1/60 and lower! Dats wut happens when you make an SLR really light weight.

I’m used to Nikkormats. They make that really loud “ka-klunk” sound but since they weigh as much as a cinder block, there’s no vibration.

Exactly. Same w the F2 - loud but the weight soaks it all up. The EM suffers the same way and it really does limit these cameras to good light use in a way. It's a shame that even though the shutter speeds go down to 2 secs, even on a tripod you can still get shake.
I still really like the FG, it's just a bit of a bummer. edit - just tested the self timer. If you use that, it flips up the mirror pre exposure so there is hope with a tripod!
Shot a roll of the Wolfen NC400, will get it developed tomorrow. Will then see if it is worth keeping/using the rest. If the results are technically cr@p, I will return the remaining rolls.

I'm still sitting on a roll of that stuff. If it's like the NC500 it doesn't have the kind of latitude I would like for bright LA conditions.

I shot it at ISO 200 - because all the examples I've seen online at 400 look, well, at least a stop underexposed.
I also shot it in the late afternoon - so not in 'ideal' conditions - but that is the whole point. If this film is any good, if the exposure is correct one should get decent results.
This is the kind of shooting I do all the time with whatever film I am using. I don't want to cherry pick ideal conditions for NC400.

Oh yeah, Cam Photo in Burbank has Kodak Color Plus 200 in stock for 9.99.
And it seems Freestyle has loose rolls of ProImage too.
An old friend recently sold me his Leica M2R (a relatively rare model, only 2,000 made, excess units from a design for the US Army); here are a few shots from my first roll, with Portra 160, testing some of my more modern lenses to see how they look on film.

That's the terminus of the glacier at Everest Base Camp, or EBC. But this is the northern side of the range, at 5000m (16,400 feet) in Tibet. The peak is 36 kms away from here, a short distance in the clarified air of the plateau. Ambulances ferried out the dead, the dying and the injured each day in the short climbing season. Velvia 50, Fuji GW690III. I just love the blue in this image.

Maybe they got the word all you've been using is outdated third party spooled movie stock and decided to toss out some of the "good stuff".
they got sick n tired of me handing them rolls that smelled like moth balls.
