Busy couple weeks, a bit slow here but I’ll try and help move it along. 105mm f/2.5 in the Smoky Mountains. I liked these guys watching the mist move it.
Man Rafael - that is an extremely impressive film body collection. Though I have owned only a couple of examples you show - My favorite was two F3HP bodies (One with Tri-X, Plus-X, Panatomic, or Techpan and one with Fuji 100 iso or Velvia 50 iso transparency film). Wearing eye glasses with the HP made a big difference for me - otherwise they are identical to the F3.

Back to cameras, your positive response to the S2 made me get all the film cameras out for a portrait. Every Camera and Every meter here works and is accurate, the reason I stuck with Nikon. I have other finders for these, the best finders are the action ones, like having a monitor.
The Z6 is a guest of honor for being so adaptable to MF lenses. There are six 55mm 1.2 in these photos, one is missing so that makes seven, including all versions but the K which I don't like.
I collect lenses, not cameras, these are the cameras I have used since the 1970s, the exception are the S2 and S3,
Never sold an older camera to buy another.
The one most used was the F4, from 1989 to 2007 - hundreds if not thousands of rolls - their condition is a result of being used in cases.
I want to shoot film again, but too lazy to develop. ...Show more →

That is outstanding performance from the 20mm 1:4 Scott, did you correct perspective in post?
Thank you Rafael. Yes I did adjust for perspective in post process. I find the 20mm f4 gives nice results and great depth of field when stopped down to f11. Good for landscape and architecture (with perspective correction in LR).
I may have happened to see that same 20 f4 in action later that week

Thank you for the tip Huss! will call him, planning to use this S2 a lot once I find an economical/practical way to do film.
Great shot by the way, very creative.
Where do you buy your film and get it developed?
Just got a notification from Midwest Photo that Fuji 200 and Superia 400 is back in stock.
Fuji 200: $14.29 for a 3 pack of 36 exposures!!!
Fuji 400: $15.75 for a 3 pack of 36 exposures!!!!
Everywhere else this is out of stock, and/or $30+.

Jumped on this Huss! but it seemed you bought it all, none left!
Oh man... I posted it just after I ordered, figured there'd be enough time for others. You should sign up to be notified when they next get it in stock - it's how I found out about it.
I have a Bessa R2S coming in the mail tomorrow. Will need to replenish some stock

I checked, they still have them listed but it doesn't show up in the cart if you try to add it. You did wipe out their current supply Huss
The Z7 from Mobious32 in FM came in, it seems to be quite perfect, 3000 for shutter count. I use my digital cameras like an F3 in aperture priority mode, only shoot raw and worry about image settings in post. The Z7 threw me a curve because I set my Z6 years ago and did not remember how. His name is still in the EXIF, but he is getting excellent feedback so not to worry until I figure out how to remove it.
I can crop now!
This Z7 camera showed me that the 1968 10mm OP hand ground and polished aspheric is truly something else optically, even with the 20mm small image circle. There are two in E-Bay for $2,800 - go get them! They will only go up in value with a little patience.
I use it with a helicoid mount to fine focus center and edge. The lens is fixed focus, which was OK for 1968 film, but it can benefit from a little focusing.
