Great photos @Jett129 and @ChaseD
@ChaseD what camera is that your shooting with? I don't recognize the waist level finder, I shoot with a Hasselblad sometimes and love using WLF cameras in general.It's a Rolleiflex 3.5F with an upgraded ultra bright screen. One of my favorites. Great work with your Hasselblad! I shoot mostly B&W, and with the looks of things coming down the pipeline from Kodak on price increases on color, it's likely to stay that way

Haha, sometimes it’s not the picture that makes the memories, right? I love these shots where you just give your everything and eventually the path to the picture gets so memorable the actual outcome becomes more and more irrelevant.
Still, that is a great shot right there. The color of the pigeon’s throat Is mesmerizing and the guy with the backpack in the background is sharp enough to attract interest but not too much to take away too much attention.

How long am I supposed to wait until the x100v is back in stock ? lol its nowhere to be found and im not going to pay an extra 500-1000 more for one on e bay just to have it now.
Maybe at the end of the year?
Anybody hear anything ? -
Thanks guys @goosehd @Jett129
The pigeons are also my favorite. There’s something about that subway lighting that makes it very special.@dinobarnesberlin You might as well wait for the X100VI (next gen) at this point? I have no official information, but with the release and rollout of the new X-Trans 5 sensor in the X-T5 and X-H2 last year, the implementation of that sensor in the next X100 version might be close. And you’d probably even safe money considering the price the X100V goes for right now.
Or, if you want to have one asap, maybe consider one of the older versions (X100T / X100F). They’re a bit more accessible I think and their still pretty nice cameras.
Just my two cents, hope it helps…
Use it or lose it.

@tody Oh man, what a pity! If I only knew.. I’m in Cologne quite regularly though (I believe 4 times over the last 6 months alone), so I’ll definitely make sure to hit you up next time for a Kölsch and some IH talk
On another note: I’m really digging your hometown! So authentic and vibrant. -
@weftyarn I think you might be right as far as holding out for the newest version to arrive. Ive got to believe that the overall hype has been legit based on the videos I've seen.
The older models are probably just as good---but that image stabilization is a must have for me---my nickname is Shakes Malone
Thank for the input man--- -
@Giles Thanks for this heads up Giles--watched the video's attached and like this model quite a bit.
Thing is I really need some stabilization when I shoot. Not going to use a trip-pod on the streets or on a walk.
Its not that I even NEED this camera --I usually shoot Nikon and have for years now.
But this Fuji just , dont know...speaks to me somehow.
If there is one thing I've got..its patience. unless it comes to a piece of IH that I absolutely must have! -
photos look great @weftyarn

Thanks @louisbosco
I just watched a really interesting interview with German photographer Siegfrid Hansen.
Have a look here:
I’m in love with his his very graphic and geometrical street photography. He has an amazing eye!
Next time, hit me up for an IH forum mini meet!
