Tomiyama Seisakusho 170, Nikkor-SW 90mm f8 with R720 IR filter, Rollei Infrared 400. View of the waterfront from the top of Federal Hill. The frame looks so clean than what I develop at home. This was developed by thedarkroom in California.
Beautiful shot, Samy. I'm amazed at the level of detail that is captured. I took a look at it on Flickr and it's just incredible. Just out of curiousity, is this a drum scan or a flatbed scan?

I got tired of constantly swapping AF and MF lenses on my Z5, so I bought a used Fuji X-T30 from another FM member. The idea is that I will use the Fuji exclusively for MF lenses. I'll leave a Mitakon Zhongyi Lens Turbo II mounted permanently so that I don't have to worry about the crop factor of the APS-C sensor.
A quick photo of some workers scraping and painting the building I work in.
Scott, I have the same approach but using the Turbo II on the Zfc to get back to almost full frame field of view. Works well with most lenses and most situations. Price is right too.
Yashica Nicca YF camera with Nikkor 5cm f2 HC LTM version, Acros II developed in HC-110.
Seems like a partially opening shutter issue in some pics. This camera may need to go to the local guy who works on vintage cameras. Hope he doesn't retire anytime soon. The Yashica is a really good looking camera, kind of an early Japanese Leica M look, but with the LTM mount. https://www.cameraquest.com/yashiyf.htm
That is one I did not know about. Nice looking camera. My original 35mm was a Yashica Electro 35. Never new they dabbled in the Leica mount. Now where is that rabbit hole

Looking at the various photo forums lately you feel that D/SLRs are going the way of the dinosaurs. Guess I better get a shot of mine before they go extinct
Happy Monday.
Shot with the Noct @f/2 and processed in ON1

George, I have an extinction event going on here then I will have to post something taken with an SLR soon in that case.

Thanks Scott! Not sure, I could try asking them what they use to scan 120 rolls.
Looking at the image closely the sharpness is in the centre, the outer areas get less sharp. Maybe I need to stop down some more? I may have been at f/16 with the 90mm.

Zfc is pretty tempting. Ever miss IBIS? I keep hoping a Zf will come soon. Z6II works till then.

I have only had IBIS in the brief time I had a Z6 the other year. Nothing I have now has IBIS so I don’t know what I am missing I guess
With the exception of the Zfc, I have migrated back to old cameras with optical finders.
100% agree with you on a Zf
The Zfc is a good “family” camera and casual shooting camera. One thing that I don’t like is the flip out/twisty to the side LCD. Really gets in the way when used with a cross body strap.
The Zfc is also really good as a video conference camera too and is coming in handy now that I am permanently home office.

I seriously considered the Zfc, but decided to go with the Fuji. I wanted to get something as small as possible. Also, I was thinking that I might also get the Fuji 27mm pancake to make a perfect, tiny go anywhere camera. I've had the 27mm before and it's a great little lens. I'm not ruling out the Zfc as a future purchase, though.
It really handles well with the Z mount 28mm SE and Z mount 40mm. But I feel it is front heavy and a little awkward handling with F mount manual focus glass due to the extra weight of the metal lenses and depth of the F -> Z adapters. Small lenses like 50mm/2, 45/2.8P and such are not too bad though. The inexpensive SmallRig grip helps out a lot and gives an Arca mount base too.

Here's what a $50 and 45 years old manual focus zoom-lens can do at the track last Sunday: 🙂😎
The 2022 Old Bike Australasia Classic Challenge, @Sydney Motor Sport Park, seen through the mighty Nikon Manual Focus AI 80-200mm f/4.5N.
Shot with Z fc & D850.
Wow. I have never seen that style of racing before. Is that what the 2 man bobsled people do when there is no snow and they have had too much caffeine?
Incredible shots with the old lens. I am sure 99.9% of it has to do with the person behind the camera

Samy,
A wonderful IR photo! Can you soup the Rollei IR film yourself, or is it special chemistry?
Jim
Thanks! I can, its just black and white film with sensitivity in the IR spectrum and any normal b&w should work. It can be shot at 400 without an IR filter. I slowed down the shutter speed around 5 stops for the filter.
I was sending off a couple of single use (recyclable nowadays) cameras to the lab so added this in.
