Absolutely loving those shots @J-IV @Ross
I love the analogue look, but never tried to actually shoot manual.
Maybe I should…

Here’s some B&W from Hamburg. Sadly didn’t make it in time for the party, but still enjoying some free days in this characterful city.

Security first

Containers everywhere

@weftyarn Dude do it! That's when the fun really starts (and the frustration hehe)

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Really great,but then again it’s what I’ve grown to expect from you. I’ve been on a B&W kick lately but haven’t been able to post because they’re too large.

[Jett129]

@weftyarn Was thinking of you when I was shooting this. It was in Asbury Park,NJ,which I think you’d enjoy photographing. This is a screenshot.

@weftyarn l really like the canal shot and the window sitter

[Ross]

@weftyarn totally recommend giving it a go, it's been a really fun learning experience

[weftyarn]

@Ross @J-IV okay I think you got me. Any recommendations for a starting kit? Which is the system where you get the best glass at a reasonable price?

@steelworker the window one is also my favorite. I love to just point at open windows and see what happens.

@Jett129 thanks mate! I’m on a real B&W roll lately. That stones track perfectly matches the shot. Love it!

@weftyarn Posted that same shot on Instagram and linked it to The Who’s version of that song.

A couple more B&W screenshots from a local cruise night called The Asbury Park Circuit.

@weftyarn it all depends on your budget, my friend. And the kind of shooting you do

[Ross]

@weftyarn After some reading I went with a FED-2, basically a old Ukrainian Leica clone, overall so far it's been extremely solid and is quite pretty to look at on my shelf when not using, which is always a nice plus.

I know the Kiev-4a is also recommended if you prefer the Contax style cameras although it's a smidge more expensive and a bit chunkier/heavier. The old soviet cameras are very cost effective for just giving it a try to see if you like it without breaking the bank.

Body + 35mm full frame equivalent lens for street photography at ~1k€ would be awesome. Doable?

spent the weekend reflecting on my prior question and took a look back at a few trips. 90% sure i'll be taking the monochrom, 50, and 28. Granted, Hamburg is a little more monochromatic to begin with, but I had a good supplement of cell phone color images that I'm not going to "miss" things anyway. Just going to have fun and take pictures as the opportunity presents. Sharing a few from the aforementioned trip, though this was in May, before the party.

edit; and i feel incredibly dumb now....how do I embed a picture hosted on another website? I tried looking at the forum help post but still no joy

[J-IV]

@weftyarn ahh thats plenty, honestly.

Rangefinders - I'd look into the Canonet QL series, Minolta Hi-Matic, and the Leica CL.

SLR - Olympus OM series, Nikon FM series (my fav is the FM2), and the Canone AE-1 program.

Let me know if you wanna chat more. Couldn't really recommend lenses as the price varies too much but I'm sure you'll find one to meet below your budget

[weftyarn]

@J-IV Excellent, thanks a ton mate! I’ll take a closer look when the weekend comes. Also I just realized my father may have saved one of his old Olympus cameras. As a German saying goes: „Manchmal sieht man den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht“ (sometimes you don’t see the forest because of the trees)

Some awesome surfing recently.

[Jett129]

No problem posting these!

[goosehd]

@Jett129 Did the guys get something worked out for you? So good to see your pics again

[Jett129]

@goosehd I have to think that they must have because I had zero problems posting these,and if that’s the case maybe reach out to Twin and let him know,as I’m sure it would make him happy.
