Anyways, trusty GA645 with Portra 160.
How do you like the overall feel and handling of the GA645? I am looking at trying a Fuji 645 camera but not sure which variant to get. There are so many versions.
I love this little camera. It's super light and I can't find any negatives about it. When I travel I bring it and the FUJI GSW690 with me. On my last trip to Iceland it rained every day so I had limited use of the GSW because I like to use it 100% on tripod at F16. So I shot most of my photos with the GA645 (handheld). it's basically like an iphone, except it uses film. I usually leave it in Program mode when shooting handheld and at f16 on tripod.
People say you have to pay attention to the focus meter because sometimes it's not accurate, but I've shot over 100 photos with it and never had one out of focus photo. You just have to pay attention in the viewfinder that what you are focusing on is the correct distance.
When I went to Boston about six months ago I took a bike tour across the city which lasted for 3 hours and halfway into it it started to POUR very badly, to the point that all of us were soaking wet as if we had just jumped into a pool. I had my GA645 with me in my backpack with no rain protection.
When I got back to the hotel room my backpack was filled with water and the GA645 wouldn't turn on!
I thought for sure that I ruined it and was out of $500! I opened it and let it air dry for over 24 hours and the next day it turned on as if nothing had happened.
Here are some photos shot with it from Boston.
