@Marc2706 the Pentax is really not the most beautiful camera you´re right there. If I would have more time I would prefer going back to film but with two young kids I simply have not time to develop the film and print it back home in a dark room which I would love to do at some point in the future. I had an old Leica M6 many years ago where I was developing the film myself and I enjoyed that process. I even still have my Sekonic Meter which just looks and works amazing. People always ask me what it is Now I rarely get time to pull the images from the M10 memory card.
But rangefinders and generally the analog photography has a place in my heart.

A few from the last few weeks. Mix of Hasselblad X1DII and Nikon Z8.

[Marc2706]

@jmp777 wonderful portraits! I love the analog style of your photos!

[jmp777]

@Marc2706 thank you so much!

[Marc2706]

Normally I always used the Leica M10 as my working horse for portraits, but since I have the Sigma BF, my Leica has been collecting dust. It is so much fun to use this power- and beautiful camera in combination with the excellent Sigma lenses

[jmp777]

@Marc2706 Fantastic shots! I absolutely love my M10, but it too collects dust. I just brought it home from my studio so I can at least try to use it more at home.

[Marc2706]

@jmp777 thanks a lot! For sure Leica cameras are one of the most beautiful cameras, but sometimes they are like a Diva

@Marc2706 Especially love the last shot with the way you used the shadows.

Leicas were my grail cameras, but they might be replaced in my heart by the new Hasselblad X2D II 100C. That 10 stop IBIS is amazing! I've seen examples of handheld shots that were 4 seconds!

(Of course the camera is over $7k, without lenses...)

Some shots from our Campervan trip from Alice Springs through the outback to Melbourne. 5.200km, we loved every bit of it!

So an even better deal than leica too!

[Marc2706]

Some photos from a portrait shooting on film with Porta 400 and Ultramax 400

Obsessed with this for a few weeks now. Shot on iPhone on the way back from Japan. Not raw at all, 48mpg jpeg

[Jett129]

@louisbosco That really is a cool shot. Good reason to obsess over it.

I’m upgrading from my somewhat trusty X1Dii to an X2D. Would love the X2Dii, but seeing the the iq is pretty much the same I couldn’t turn down paying 3800 for an ex condition X2D.

[Marc2706]

@jmp777 I think the X2D is a wonderful camera! You will never notice a difference in IQ between X2D and X2Dii

@JDelage I've been wanting an X100IV just to put the Good Art soft release button on it!

I also leave my big camera at home too often because of the bulk.

[JDelage]

I like the idea but I'll note that my soft release button is on a hiking trail somewhere in the Dolomites. What is screwed can get unscrewed...

[Go For Chill]

@JDelage Just the tiniest dot of Loctite purple and you're good to go.
