I would be very interested in finding out which camera your friend chooses. Please keep us updated.

Thanks.

Fuji has stopped making NPH 400. (Sob!!) The have revamped their line of pro film. Fuji Superia X-Tra is good and available everywhere. I vote to let him choose between the FED 2 and the Zorki 4K.

I don't believe they've stopped making it, just retitled it Pro400. Same with NPZ 800. It's now Pro800.

The Fuji site seems to indicate that the new film is a new generation and not just renamed. My problem is that I used NPL (tungsten balanced) a lot and there is no replacement so I've switched to Kodak Professional Portra.

No one voting for the FED 3? I really like this camera - smooth and quiet and feels solidly built. Also, in a bad light it looks like an early M series Leica.

Well - the shorlisting has taken place and Anil has gone off with the FED 3. As a USSR rangefinder newbie, he found the handling and looks much to his liking. Also gave him 3 rolls of AGFA XRG 200 colour print film to play with. I am really looking forward to some great shots.

I hope it was a FED 3a and not that ugly duck 3b! 😉

Er ... It was the B (according to Princelle). I forgot to mention that he's also going to Mexico and LA.

Well - Anil returned from Mexico and the US yesterday and sent me this picture - he had a great time with the FED and wants his own one. (Sound of evil laughter ....)

"...he had a great time with the FED and wants his own one."

So your sinister mind altering was a success. Good for you.



<sigh> I miss Mexico. 🙁

 

[lushd]

And here's another pic from the trip. I think this is a good one ...

But many unexperienced eyes would mistaken a 3b for a Leica M6? :bang: What do yuou think? 😛
