This is over the top beautiful!
Thank you very much, Bob! I’m enjoying all of your black & white work.

Having Ross on this thread is like a little league team with a player who somehow has five o clock shadow.
Haha, that is a hilarious visual! Truly, I appreciate this thread, seeing what others are shooting and having a place to share the transparencies that otherwise don’t get seen. And excited to get my new-to-me FM2 outside for a shoot soon. You all have pulled me back in
As you have found, this forum is full of fun. Old cameras, plastic cameras, stuff found in thrift shops and grandma's attic. Respooled movie stock and forty year old Panatomic X that was hidden in the bottom of a freezer.
I never left film and currently, having the best time. Scanning has stepped in for darkroom work and things that were learned decades ago are put into action. Information is shared and I'm constantly learning something new.
Fred did us a big favor by having a dedicated film forum and it's always nice to have new contributors.
That’s all great stuff! I too am glad Fred added the film section.
Today I received the FM2. It’s in beautiful near-mint condition, very lightly and gently used, was package very well, from a 100% feedback experienced eBay seller in Illinois. The description was very highly detailed and accurate down to the minutest detail, but unfortunately the seller did not reveal that the camera absolutely wreaks of smoke. I knew there was a problem as soon as I opened the box, at arm’s length the stench of smoke was obvious, each packing material saturated with it, then unfortunately the camera itself. When I put the camera up to my eye the smoke stench is so strong it almost make me nauseated. I’ve been a seller & buyer of camera gear on eBay for 24 years and I have not had this happen before. I messaged the seller and said I’ll leave it out on a table to hopefully air out for a couple days, but if the stink remains I’ll have to file for a return.
