I agree! I think I prefer the second, those trunks in the foreground frame it nicely and their stillness compliments the rest of the photo.

Sent mine off last week! The postal service here can be slow, but i'm sure they will arrive eventually... let me know if they dont!

Yes, but I still have to really work to be sure, particularly in less contrasty lighting. Perhaps its just a me problem! I will take it out for a few more trips before I call it.

Thanks for bringing that up! I'll keep that in mind but I think it's fine. I was mainly refering to trouble with the focusing screen not "snapping" into focus, just hard to be certain where the focal plane is sometimes

I would love to watch it when it's out. In this video, Ut shows other photos from the same shoot, but there seems to be difference between Napalm Girl and the other photos. He says the photo was taken with a Leica, of which he carried two. Looks like many photographers were present. Can any one...

Yashicamat 124. I hear good things but i'm just not getting along with it. Not super happy with the lens, though I have gotten some lovely portaits with it, I just don't shoot people very often. I don't love the handling either, though she's due a CLA. Fairly bright focussing screen, but I still...

You are right, I am mistaken. I was under the impression that Toyo was a sub-brand of MAC group and that Sakai was just a manufacturer. But it seems that MAC is just responsible for marketing, sales and distribution.

There is so much happening in this photo! So many layers, textures and contrast. The movement is really lively too. Bet this would look great printed nice and big.

Thanks a lot! Valparaiso is on my list for sure

This photo is outstanding! Storms alone are worrying, but risking sand blowing into all your gear too? True dedication

Would love more information on how this impacts Toyo, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are going anywhere. Its just a manufacturer

Tice had the goal to be a great photographer since he was a child, wonderful to know that he lived his dream through

Olympus Pen F with a wrongly replaced mirror and a funky lens. Only found out after a test roll. Seems a previous owner failed some repairs and just sold it on without mentioning it.

Flash unit aside, in-tact shoes for OM cameras are few and far between. Every shoe I have seen is cracked, if not I don't think it will take long before it does. So make sure the flash has a PC sync port!

Eastman Double-X 5222 @ISO400, LC29 1+19 20C 6.5mins, paterson hand tank, ilford method Olympus OM-1N, OM Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 Taken on a trip to Italy, love the camera and the glass, light and compact but would prefer something a little wider for travelling. Still playing around with development...
