Rather clean.
Rather clean.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
More than clean. Looks brand new.
In reply to 1988RedT2 :
It does look new, doesn’t it?
Is it wrong to say that I had my heart on a black one? On the plus side, though, this one has a good story, has the box/papers and comes from a good home. Price is very fair.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
It is pretty. What's the going price for an M6 these days? I've been completely out of the buying loop for a while - I've already got too many cameras.
In reply to 02Pilot :
From dealers, I’m seeing $3000+.
Any glass for that $3k?
I'm trying to remember what I paid for my Voigtlander Bessa R3a and I can't imagine it was more than $400 and that came with a Nokton 40mm F1.4. If you haven't handled one, pretty please do so and see if the Leica is indeed worth 8x-10x.
In reply to Mezzanine :
I bet not. A new M6 is $6k just for the body.
In reply to j_tso :
Yeah, that was my expectation too. I was just being optimistic. I just watched this on the subject:
In reply to j_tso :
Yup, that’s just the body. And, at this point, just looking and learning.
No shade if you do go for it. It's an icon for a reason!
In reply to Mezzanine :
All signs do seem to point that way.
So, we’ll see.
Just wanted to share two big-ish accomplishments:
I'll be sure to share any car-related photos I get back from the camera store.
Glad you made cars and coffee and eager to see the photos. I was cleaning gutters. I expected more rain than we’re getting but no complaints.
Almost finished a roll yesterday. I think I have like three or four shots left. Maybe after work today.
Soon we’ll have scans of the roll dropped off last week.
I sent five rolls off on Friday. The waiting is one of my favorite/least favorite parts of shooting film, so hoping for an email from the lab today.
I might need to start thinking about what I do with these images since I've shot like 15 rolls in the last two months.
In reply to Mezzanine :
I’ve been sharing my favorites on Instagram.
In reply to Mezzanine :
I miss the days when I had a local store with a minilab - they would run my film when I brought it in. I'd hang out, chat with the staff, and walk out with my negatives in ~30 minutes.
In reply to 02Pilot :
A friend and I have organized a Film Day–get together and shoot some film.
I was thinking we could drop off the film, get lunch, and then look at pictures. To do that, though, we’d need a time machine. Can’t find a one-hour lab anywhere near us. (If anyone knows of one in Central Florida, LMK.)
In reply to David S. Wallens :
If I had the resources, I'd love to open a photo lab here in Sanford–maybe even sell a few cameras, too.
In reply to Colin Wood :
Maybe one day Sanford will have a lab. And at the rate it’s growing, I can see that.
Dropped off some film yesterday, and got scans back from the previous roll. This roll also went through the CT scanner that the airport. Yeah, grainy–although I hear that some people pay extra for that.
This is Reformed DayShots 400 shot with my Canon F-1. (Also, not shot in Florida.)

Definitely, though I've found that expired film can be a more inexpensive way to stock up on film.
See also: Weird, highly specific film that isn't made anymore like this roll of traffic surveillance film. (I was trying to find a different film I saw a while ago–one made for taking photographs of the inside of the eye–but this one is still cool.)
In reply to Colin Wood :
Also cool: Our local lab sells some ISO 1 film.
Too slow for you? How about ISO 1.6?
In reply to David S. Wallens :
100 is a nice focal length. I have a tiny Canon 100/3.5 for my Leica screwmounts that is a great travel lens. It works for portraits as well (though at f/3.5, it's not ideal; I have a Nikkor 85/2 that's better suited, but big and heavy). That 2.8 would probably strike a good balance.
In reply to 02Pilot :
I really liked the 100. We’ll see. Canon also offered an 85, but looks like it now fetches about double.
I've got some shots from the iso 1.6 film, I'll see if I can upload a few photos I have when I get off work later. The results were pretty cool especially after some editing. I was using my Minolta Maxxum 5 since it has a modern meter and I can use the ISO + exposure comp to get close to 1.6. Was shooting with my 50mm F1.4 from 1.4 to 2.8
