And Bud Powell too.

Alright. It's an organ. An electromechanical tonewheel organ, if you want me to be more precise.

Tell that to soulive... I think the keyboardist's feet are a dope bass player.

Or to compliment the drummer on how great they're sounding. Bassists are essential to the drummer and viceversa. The more tight they are as a unit, the better the music. I have a friend, bassist, we used to live together and clashed quite a bit at home, but when he picks his bass and i'm at...

Your point is that you need something fast and versatile for action shoots like kids, guitarists etc. Well, i understand your point but if that's what you want to shoot, then the F4 isn't a good choice either. You could carry a Canon EOS 5, you will need no motor-drive, even the flash is...

Weight with MB-20 small grip (and batteries) is quoted at 1200g without lens. A Bronica ETRSi, with standard lens, film back, and wlf, weights 1285 grams. I'd carry a medium format camera instead.

Great idea and the theory behind it is completely sound.

I'll ask on the camera repair group i'm very active in.

I also had a F3P briefly. Liked the titanium prism + hot shoe. But sadly it has the same flaws of the F3: an inferior quality viewfinder image (compared to the later F2 cameras), tiny hard to read shutter speed, IMPOSSIBLY tiny "+/-" meter display that is a big insult to common sense, useless...

However if one needs high resolution, one ought to be using a tripod, no matter what the film sensitivity is. I personally think that, just as a very fast film (i.e. iso 1600) opens door to many possibilities, a very slow film (like ISO 12) also opens the door to other possibilities like very...

Thanks for this information!!

How about this postwar Contax IIa with a Jupiter-12? LOL... I'm cheating, mine is a modified body. Stock Contax iiia/iia can't mount the j-12 nor the prewar biogon 35/2.8

DON HEISZ IS BACK!!

You're back, too!!

I see he's back...

LOL... "Nothing beats a great piece of GLASS"

However, and I say this as a diehard Canonista, it should be recognized that the Nikon S/S2/S3/SP are internally better built than the Canon 7 series. The earlier canons (like the VT) are better inside.

And cine 35mm film usage keeps the film (manufacturing) industry alive.

No entiendo tu idioma, forastero! Advertencia: Maniobrar una Hasselblad puede ser perjudicial para tu bienestar financiero!! No hay nada como un buen pedazo de vidrio!!

Wow, you're a badass!!

Wait... I thought that nobody in the XXI century was able to succesfully replicate the autochrome process!!

You'll find that the Pen D is more compact, lighter, and quieter than your Pen F. And has a brighter viewfinder. And a light meter. You know what to do.

I don't like Fed or Zorkis, really. And leicas are way overpriced. As for the LTM cameras, i think most have cloth shutters except for maybe the latest Voigtlander made-in-japan cameras. As for the focus compatiblity issues, my experience (as a camera tech) is that if you use russian lenses...

This week i have been working on a 1960 Kiev rangefinder and it's the machine of the devil. I was less than impressed with the materials quality. Yesterday i simply called it off -- the camera goes straight to the parts bin. Note that i'm a Contax IIa/IIIa user and i'm happy with these...

Key points i extract, that I think are very relevant: - Partly manufactured in-house - Specifically designed for lower production costs: Sounds logical to me, if they have less layers, then it requires less coating passes = less time and expenses to coat a master rolll - It will enable you to...

This. ADOX the film company with the lowest corporate Dmin and base fog.

Yes you can use a fluid mount (and adjust its height), however the improvement for the V850 isn't too big compared to correctly adjusted film holder height. This doesn't surprise me at all, coming from the enlarging generation i find fluid mounting (and glass holders) to be a bit overrated, and...

They should at least publish that!!

There are plenty of comparisons on the internet out there, this is old news, nothing new here. Yeah you can fluid mount on your flatbed etc etc.This won't compensate for its mediocre optics. V850 isn't a good deal better than the lower models, when compared to other means of scanning like...

However there IS a difference. The V600 will add artifacts like smearing of high-contrast edges and some chromatic aberration too. The former can be compensated for by increased sharpening: this will also increase the presence of noise, dirt, etc. Garbage in --> Garbage out. These artifacts...
