Some more Ektachrome 100 from the Pentax 645n. Seems more saturated and warmer than I remember Ektachrome to be, but maybe it is the lab scans. I'll probably rescan myself when I get the film back.

Thanks, Brad! Cheap cameras, niche films and great pictures! Films' Not Dead!
Haha, thanks! I do have one more cheap camera coming my way, the Ferrania Eura, a Holga-like camera from the same era as the Felica (1959). I have some Ferrania film, so what better camera to shoot it with than a Ferrania? Like the Holga it has only one shutter speed, but in this case it's 1/30, in line with the slow films of its day. Hopefully my hands won't shake too much in the cold this winter, otherwise my photos will end up looking like Jerry Schatzberg's portrait of Bob Dylan on the album cover of Blonde on Blonde.

Unfortunately I'm addicted to using polarisers. I think I need an intervention from other photographers to make me stop.
I had the same problem. Ever since I recognized the polarizer transition in my skies, I've been more careful about when I use them, especially with wide lenses.
Or you could shoot more with your GSW690, hard to use polarizers on a rangefinder . They're great for ND or color filters though, since you're not looking through the lens.

I think the trick is to back them off from maximum a bit, which can hard to judge as often I can barely see the polariser effect through the viewfinder of a lot of cameras.
