How do you like the GIII QL17? I was considering getting one, but it's silver which is the biggest sticking point. If it was black I would have already bought it.

Yeah I know, I leave for Thailand tomorrow and my local store has a cheap silver copy in perfect shape for a good price, but I HATE silver cameras. Black ones are rare and expensive. I really have no idea why anyone ever made a silver camera.
I love it. Wonderful little camera, travels with me just about everywhere. You're gonna want a meter most times which can be a little annoying, bu I don't mind using one. Great glass. Mine's viewfinder isn't perfect so focus can be a little tricky in low light, but honestly I think it's a joy to use. Love the film loading. I wouldn't pass on one - and silver is classy as all hell!
I do not know jack about film, but a friend of mine gave me 3 film cameras to sell for him (hassy 500, mamiya rz67 and a 4x5 sinar) I have sold the hassy and mamiya, but have the 4x5 still.
While I had the others, there was some rolls of velvia in the box, so I decided to try it out, I must have loaded the film the wrong way because one roll got developed all black haha (I sent away to photoworks).
the mamiya
and this is my ole lady with 'ektachrome'?? on the hasselblad
I don't really ever shoot much color film, but here's a go! I picked up some cheap Fujichrome 64T quickloads (12 years expired), so I gave some of them a shot to see how good the film still was. Speedgraphic 4x5 with B&L projection lens:
I've been working like crazy between my job and painting the exterior of my house. But here's an image I'm pretty sure I haven't shared to bump this thread back to life.

This one was reworked with a new scan. Unfortunately, the lab that processed it used sandpaper instead of rollers and it had tons of scratches running the length of the roll. I spent 20 hours or more repairing the scratches.
