Here's a digi shot of my recently acquired Canon EF kit with 50f1.4 and 24f2.8. I'm off to take pics with it at the fall fair.

Hello Frank--VERY nice outfit!
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the pix you get from both of those lens.
What film will you be using?

Old is still Old but yes very cool.

Beautiful camera. I hope you enjoy it. I just got a really nice Nikon S3 from member rf bob and I am enjoying using it a lot. I still have a preference for my Leica but the S3 is fun to shoot. An SP would have been cool + but the S3 is great. - Jim

Thanks Paul. I've got bulk loaded HP5+, and develop in HC-110, 100:1 for 20 min.

Jim, I've met Rob at a Toronto area RFF meetup.
 
Nice. Old is cool. I've had a Kowa Super 66 for just a couple of days, a mere youngster of 36 yrs.
 
Frank, Rob seemed like a very nice guy. He is a great seller if anyone wants to buy something from hiim. Regarding the EF, those old Canon and Nikon slrs are still really very nice cameras. I have a Nikon FE2, just a few years newer than the EF but a very similar, and I used to shoot with it a lot. I remember thinking at that time, why would anyone need anything else? Sometimes I still think that. Of course Pros need more and some people want to keep on top with new cameras and I used to do that. Now I really enjoy the older film cameras especially for b&w. I haven't been active on RFF until a few months ago and I am delighted to find so many others enjoying these old cameras. - Jim
 
You mean it would need to be made out of wood and brass Roger? But I agree. A camera younger than oneself is not old. ;)

That's about it. My Leica IIIa is quite old (14 years older than I) and my Exakta is only a few years younger than I. But all this through-lens metering stuff.... I'm not sure...

Cheers,

R.
 
Nice kit Frank. I'd like a 24/2.8 FD. I already have the 50/1.4 breech mount. Heavy lens but I like it. I just got some photos back from a recently aquired T70. Nice camera but the electronics take a bit getting used to. I also have a 28/2.8 breech mount that is sharp. I took it with me on a hike through some trails along the Yadkin resevor.

Hmm... google... read... wonder...

Actually, I'm tempted to try. I've only used inversion and (recently) rotation development so far. :)

I haven't tried it either but I bought some Rodinal to try 1 hour stand. I have a flickr contact who has been doing some amazing work with 1:200 stand development with Rodinal. Check out Holden's flickr & scroll around to see some amazing work.

take a good book, a stool and a clock. Developping goes far more interesting! You've got the thrill of the book as well as the thrill of the film! (good old hollywood recipe)
