@weftyarn hey thanks man...you are right about that certain fuji look.
Im still trying out the simulations to see which one I like.
Its a learning curve---but pretty intuitive so far.

Im really enjoying that its feather light so no probs having it with me during the times that I take it with me.
That 3rd shot was just a happy accident --luck

A 1hr slide show of beautiful photography by Ernst Haas.
I totally resonate with his style of shooting everyday moments and his conceptual approach.

Herr Haas has that eye.

Still messing around with Selective Color.

Another Selective Color/Surfing Pic.

Had to sit out on the 342-OD when it dropped so I could nab this beauty instead. Hoping to test drive it sooner than later

[Jett129]

@J-IV My favorite expression that I live by is that everything in life is a tradeoff. I’d take a camera over a shirt in a heartbeat. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

[J-IV]

@Jett129 wise words, indeed. Thanks Jett, looking forward to shooting a roll in this bad boy.

[Jett129]

@J-IV Have you already decided what you want your first roll of film to be?Color? B&W?

[J-IV]

@Jett129 Ilford 400

@Jett129 Ilford 400

Nice,I haven’t shot film in 19 years,but when I did I liked the Ilford Delta 400.

[weftyarn]

That camera looks beautiful @J-IV
looking forward to see what you did with the Ilford 400

Here’s a couple from yesterdays winter hike:

Would be a family of 3 Virgos including me and missus.
One birthday party a year is pretty efficient I guess. ️

The weather let up for a few days last week to take some shots and I finally had time to develop.

Used an Ilford XP2 400 as the maiden roll for the Leicaflex SL2. Here are a few of the highlights from it:

[Jett129]

@J-IV Looks like the sun wasn’t your friend that day. A polarizing or a yellow filter might’ve helped,but sometimes you just have to take what’s available as you’re usually not going to have perfect conditions.

[J-IV]

@Jett129 yeah no kidding. Not much light on the trail as the Redwoods blocked most of it and the light that was available was super harsh (shot around noon). But the summicron lens lived up to the hype I'd say. Never shot anything with that level of sharpness

[Jcaz6996]

Apologies for the dumb question interested to know why these few photos that were taken yesterday are not in focus if you zoom in on me. Is it something to do with what lens I’m using ? Thanks in advance.

[pechelman]

what camera were you using and what did you focus on?
It does appear that the focus is locked onto the graffiti wall and you're standing just in front of what's "critically sharp"
