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

                looking forward to see what you did with the Ilford 400 👌🏾

                        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:

                          @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.

                            @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

                              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.

                                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"

                                  Using a Canon EOS R with a Sigma 18-35mm lens.
                                  My son took the photos, maybe never focused on me then?

                                  What about the walking shot, isn’t that just point and shoot ? How would you put a moving subject in focus?

                                    Thanks, that helps. That's a pretty nice setup and should definitely be resolving you sharper when focused on you.

                                    Depending on how focus was set or acquired using AF, it may have just locked on to the highest contrast area right behind you. I'd have expected if AF was used it would track to you once you moved away from the wall, but that doesnt always happen.

                                    As for walking and focus, I'm not familiar enough with that camera, but would suspect there's an Autofocus face tracking mode that could keep you tack sharp. Otherwise there's the old adage of "F8 and be there" where your son could stop down the lens a bit more, to say F5.6 or F8, focus on that crosswalk stripe, and then you'd be plenty sharp just due to the depth of field at 18-35mm.

                                    more than that I'd have to dig into the camera manual to help out on exact settings

                                      @Jcaz6996 If the picture is still on the memory card in the camera,you can pull up the image and click on info and it might be able to show you which focusing points were used or at the very least what the settings were in play.

                                        @pechelman think you may have solved it AF wasn’t used it was on MF maybe my son never had that set correctly . I should have thought about AF with both types of shots 🙈 there is a face tracking option…. Crap ..
                                        Thanks again mate 👍

                                          @Jcaz6996 Funny story on this. We had so many missed AF shots when handing the camera to random people on vacations that I at some point deliberately switched to MF and told them „just stay here don’t move an inch and push the dang button“. I prefocus manually and just hand over the cam. 100% success rate thus far 😅

                                          Works especially well with „moving shots“ just walk into the shot along the prefocused „line of sharpness“ 😉

                                          Use it or lose it.
