Se (there was a url link here which no longer exists) Noen ide om noen i Norge eller i Skandinavia som selger denne ? Mvh. Svein.

F5 with autofocus lenses. Have never looked back after that. F5 is cheap to buy these days.

At today's prices, you should seriously consider the Hassy. The Zeiss glasses are superior. You might even wait and save some more money first. Mamya, Pentax and Bronica are not too bad, but no cigar. Today when everything is second hand you might as well go for the real thing.

For me, XTOL is like D76 but with finer grain and more detail/better sharpness on fast films. Use it for 35mm and 6x6 Tri-X. "Some of the sharpness of Rodinal but with fine grain." Behaves better in the scanner (with diffusor) than the same film with the type of grain you get from D76. Used...

If I could choose only one lens for travel it would be 50mm. No. 2 would be 35mm. The new AF-s Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G is a better lens though than the Ai version, for overall sharpness wide open, for contrast and not least for resistance to flare. I have both the Ai and the G, and use the old...

Du kunne vurdere å gå opp i filmhastighet. (Ikke 100% svar på spørsmålet ditt men likevel.) Etter å ha jobbet digitalt en stund og blitt komplett bortskjemt med høye ISO-hastigheter er det en helt ny opplevelse å jobbe med Hblad og Ilford Delta 3200 brukt på 1600 ASA. Filformatet er såvidt stort...

I think an important starting point for your decision could be that you work both with 35mm film and with digital cameras of the same format. That could give you the possibility of using the same lenses both for film and digital. After all, lenses makes pictures. You only want to pay for good...

Came home once with with a Leica with half the frames blank on a film taken in Istanbul. New policy: Throw away all lenscaps. Use UV filters as lenscaps. Unscrew the filter and put it in the pocket before you start taking pictures. There is nothing like the contrast of a lens with no filters in...

Om ikke du finner noen utstillinger så har du jo lysløypen med bokhandlere. Lørdag: Akademibokhandeln rett bak NK i sentrum. Fotoavdeling helt innerst til høyre. Lørdag og søndag: Bohandelen i Moderna Museet. Bra fotoavdeling. Bedre enn noe i Norge.

The textbook wisdom is that the less agitation the higher the edge sharpness in the negative. So I do 3 tank revolutions over 10 seconds every 60 seconds. This after an initial continuous slow inversion period of 30 seconds. (Again at the speed of 3 revolutions per 10 seconds.) Since the overall...

Trenger ikke overnatting. Bor i Halden. Svein.

Regner med å komme. Svein.

(This may be heresy in an analog film forum, but) one of the quickest ways to learn how the F5 exposure system works under different lightning conditions is to do "dry run" training with one of the better Nikon digital cameras like D2x or D3 that use the same system. The immediate feedback that...

I had the Fuji GW690 for some time. The reason for bying it was the film format. Expectations were great, but it turned out to be too large and clumsy. Changed to Mamiya 6 with all 3 lenses. Use the wide angle mostly. With the Mamiya 6 you do not have to use an outside viewfinder for wide angle...
