Trying to repair my Kowa 85mm f2.8 for the SIX/Super 66 system. The leaf shutter doesn´t close quick enough in the cycle prior to the lens stopping down. Meaning its slightly open when its about to fire. I think I may have to give it up. It´s been in for repair twice in two years already. Luckily the 150 works. Going on a walk and shoot tomorrow.

I'm going to be shooting my son's baseball game, All-Stars. Post images to my website, tag all the subjects, release to the parents and then watch as I get 2000+ hits and not one print will be purchased and not even one download paid for. I disable right click save as and charge $0.50 for a 1MP file to help pay for the website. Then try to figure out what has become of photography and the value of a good photograph.

Just got my Leica M2 button rewind back from DAG, so will install strap, load with HP5, install lower case, and install the 50mm f2 Nikkor lens I just got from this thread's author. Then it comes with me tomorrow morning for some early morning light shooting after the gym and before work.

Bob...gee, making me feel bad about not working out....

Sug, today and all week in the evenings, I will be doing "research", namely finishing the book on Savannah that Bob Michaels suggested: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

A good read and is actually inspiring me to find some gas money around and head back to Savannah very soon but first I have to stop by Barnes and Noble.

Just ordered 27 rolls of HP5 from Freestyle and in the process discovered that Arista Premium is in fact Tri-x and only $2.69/roll. But since I am new to film, already shot 5-6 rolls of HP5 and have another 15 in the fridge, I'll stick with it while prices are good and learn to adjust other elements of my shooting skills without bouncing around between many different films. Will take part in the "one roll a day for seven days on a row" this month as posted earlier with the HP5. I'd like to get familiar with it for my trip to Mexico and NYC this fall.
So to answer your question, buying film :-)

I'm scanning the rolls I developed last night, and prepping another developing tonight. Since my B/W films curl like no tomorrow, I figured I do the dev and put the strips under my Cinema Display overnight, then scan them in next day while I do other photo related stuff. Flatter negatives and a little better time efficiency...

From last night's rolls, Shot with IIIf and Summar 50/2 with TriX.

Sorting through my first two developed rolls from New York. Everything scanned, 8 posted, still have another handful to get up tomorrow.

Then more developing. And maybe picking up 120 slides if they're ready.

I never knew that there was a Voigtlander version of thr A&A strap. Very nice. Did you get it from CameraQuest?
