I totally agree with chuckroast’s analysis.

I realize that this service has been posted before, but I would like to add my experience. I highly recommend FOTOTECH Warsaw (Warszawa@fotonaprawa.pl) for the Fuji GA645Zi LCD repair. My camera was just returned to me, in Canada, fully repaired and in excellent working order. Communication...

Fuji GA645Zi +1

To me this looks like banding. The rotation of the lens is not smooth and it hesitates slightly in different places of its arc. I have had this. Sometimes a bit of dirt gets in the mechanism. I have even traced it back, I believe, to times when the tension on the film varies when loading a...

Fujifilm GA645zi +2! Remarkable as point and shoot with amazingly sharp lens. The small zoom is a definite bonus.

Welcome! I was also born in Toronto, but now live 1 to 3 hours to the west (depending on traffic).

I too have been staying close to home. I decided to “look small” in order to see familiar things differently, and have been restricting myself to my macro lens.

In response to COVID-19, I have been working on a series of images titled “Path Forward?”. Has anyone else? Let's share. Brief statement: As we move from the darkness of the virus to the daylight of normality, what will the steps in our path forward be? Will the sequence of my photographs need...

I don’t know if this helps. I only shoot black and white film. With the latest version of backing paper on Tmax 400 I have found that unless I put more pressure on the film (by pushing down on the film with my finger) as the film loads, it does not load properly. That is, it winds too loosely to...

I continue to be very happy with either Ilfotec DDX or Kodak Tmax Developer with Tmax 400.

I own 2 of these cameras and have found them to be very reliable. However, because of the problem with the LCD screen that you describe, I take extra care when opening the back of the camera to not stretch the wires leading from the camera to the screen.

Question for a friend: An artist creates room size sculptures and then photographs them... and then turns it into a billboard type of image (so close you can see all the little pixels and then from far away you see the whole image). What file size and resolution is needed if she has a 4x5 piece...

I have 2 of these cameras. I love the quality of them, especially the lenses, and I have always found the light meter to be extremely accurate. They are fantastic for travelling.

I will leave the defining up to others. Which project? Perhaps the next one. Keeping my mind open and inquisitive is what drives my passion to keep photographing. The possibility of a yet to be discovered project excites and stimulates me. If circumstances dictate that I might not be able to...
