Shooting it on a r2 so should do me well, royal mail have of course messed up my delivery but that should be sorted soon.

How do you find it stopped down, do you find the f16 good enough for proper zone focusing in street work?

X100 arrived today. Got a gig at a Jubilee street party coming up with way too many people to be shot on film and the price point is less painful nowadays, so I pulled the trigger.

Firmware upgraded and working through the manual. So far, so good.

Fuji X10 for those times that require a smallish digital camera without lots of guff to carry around. I am going to pop out at lunch time to buy some 35mm film sleeves and some properly sized folders in which to store my rapidly growing collection of negatives!

i just bought a hundred foot roll of arista premium 400. i'm kind of upset that i can't fond legacy pro 400 in the hundred footer any more. i had that developing down to a science... guess this'll just up my developing game a bit though.

Rfdr and shutter are right on. Body built in 1974. Next I want the Jupiter 35mm Biogon copy.

Decided on 43mm as my standard filter/hood size for my 40/40.5/43. Picked up a a few step up rings, a hood, caps and a yellow filter.

Also gave in to the inevitable and picked up a Canon 50mm 1.4. Still evaluating it against my J3 to see which I prefer. The Canons build quality is better but I love the tiny size of the J3 and the images are pretty damn good.

Just ordered a Leica X2 since Leica fixed what I hated about the X1 (slow AF).

I have just impulsively bought a Konica Hexar AF (decided to give 35mm one more chance) and also Minolta Autocord (did not arrive yet and my wife does not even know about it ... ). The Hexar has 1 month return warranty, so it will go back if ti does not work for me.
