For what it’s worth, Bergger Berspeed is a Microphen clone and it can be found in 5L bags. (The times are identical with Microphen (1+1) and I have treated it as Microphen stock solution with no issues.) Probably not that much easier to find or cheaper, but it’s an option that exists

There is a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 Art APS-C lens from the late DSLR era that matches Sigma’s current lens styling. I believe it was designed to cover a 1.3x crop APS-H sensor, and so it does a reasonable job at covering full frame, with a decent vignette wide open or at close focus. Eric Woods has a...

I bought a Ricohflex Diachord from that seller, in part because it was lower cost, especially with shipping included and no sales tax. The camera was a gift for my significant other. Shipping was slow, and communication was a bit lacking -- the seller did not provide me with the correct tracking...

Does this get 15 or 16 shots per roll?

Why does this make me feel strangely pessimistic? Will they make the prices go extra up? Thank god for Harman.

I'm also interested in when Helios will be released, if there's any kind of known timeline for that. :)

Unless I'm mistaken, every camera that can use 220 can use 120, so there's less demand for it.

So far, three trees have come down on the property next to my parents', fortunately not when I was over there photographing.

I feel like it could be an interesting incentive to see the world in 'portrait' by default if you embrace it, but it is something that I'd find myself at odds with, given that almost all of my photography is typically 'landscape'

I tried sticking a tiny square of masking tape behind the patch, and it helped, but holding up a blue filter to the viewfinder just really enhanced the contrast a lot more for me. I'm a glasses wearer, so that also hurts me, I think.

Oh no, no, I'm thinking of the "Pentax HD D FA 21mm F2.4 ED Limited" which is quite a mouthful, and a full framer... with nice image samples and a hefty price tag for there being all two full frame cameras that support it.

I love the idea of 220 far too much for being someone whose only medium format camera takes 120. Hopefully Cinestill gets there, though! It would be nice to change rolls less often on a busy day.

Got me a Yashica Lynx-14 off Craigslist... Next purchase is gonna be a blue gel I can slip over the viewfinder to make the rangefinder patch easier to see. 😆

I really think that the Pentax DA 21mm limited lens looks fantastic, and I'd love to see them have an incoherent enough product direction that they engineer a new film camera that can use it properly.

I like the idea of thinking of 6x4.5 as "Half Frame" medium format, and I feel like the 645zi hits a nice middle ground in terms of flexibility with the zoom mechanism vs. the aperture, especially compared to Fuji's other 6x4.5 point & shoots (given that they're f/4 or f/5.6 vs. f/4.5--6.9)
