Because it's nice looking.  Even though the viewfinder and rangefinder windows are too far apart, and the film winder is a pita to use and it doesn't feel all that great in the hand, it looks nice... On 6/22/2021 5:47 PM, Bob Pdml wrote: […] It's not a particularly special camera from a coll

It’d be easy in a darkroom, particularly with deep red safelights, but I haven’t had a darkroom in 30 years. Might be able to rig the bathroom as a temporary darkroom just to cut the paper down to size. Biggest problem is getting enough table space to do the cutting. Sealing the door isn’t har

Re: OT I briefly owned a Leica

Somewhere I have a Leica IIIc, it was given to me by a non photographer friend on semi permanent loan. I have two lenses for it, the collapsible 50mm and a Canon 35mm. I found the camera to be ergonomically inferior to the Kodak Retna IIc, it's only actual advantage being that it's easier to i

I agree. Cardinals aren’t particularly common, at least not here in Michigan. If you don’t try to attract them, they will be few and far between. Our bluejays are much more common. > On Jun 22, 2021, at 2:49 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Cardinals are special to we easterners too.. I would sa

Re: PESOs Seeing Red

Cardinals are special to we easterners too..  I would say your Stellers are like our Eastern Bluejays in the sense you mean.  The brilliant color of the Cardinals especially in winter as they hang around all year, catches eyes no matter where they are. and their song and call are distinctive an

Being a contrarian, I have a slight  preference for the second.. but both shots are lovely. shooting birds (with a camera) from a chair is better than shooting fish in a barrel.  Glad they are coming to you while your horizon's are limited. ann On 6/22/2021 1:35 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Th

Re: PESO 2021 - 087-088 - GDG

I need to experiment with the paper some more. The simple thing to do would be to get a cheap 4x5in field camera and some film holders, that would save a huge amount of time in cutting down the paper sheets and fitting into the fussy Mamiya Press 23 film holders. :) Do you have to do that in tot

Re: PESO: Mustang

I think they're habituated to having people, vehicles & houses around, but they're not tame. The original horses were abandoned on the Carolina coast around 500 years ago. I believe they came from shipwrecks along the coast & being left behind by failed colonization efforts. On 6/21/2021 04:

I inherited my father-in-law's Leica III (and his Speed Graphics 3 ¼ X 4 ¼). I used both for a few years before the digital era, but my Pentax 6X7 was a lot easier to use and gave comparable results. I sold the Leica several years ago, when I first started cleaning up and consolidating. Anyone i

So … "Orthochromatic"? Yes. "…a feel for where sensitivity peaks on the spectral curve…" Um, not really. I've made four exposures with it so far, and processed it in a damaged mixture of over-age developer. I got two exposures that I kinda like. :) It's fun, but the old Mamiya Press 23 is tru
