More coffee, Mocha today served with a Nikon S3 "Olympic" AR1 and W-Nikkor 2.8cm f3.5, the one you need to really concentrate on changing f stops, speed change is easier. Acros 100 today first 100 iso film of the year, and it did cloud in later, taking a big chance with that speed in February.
 
Beautiful S3 Chris - how do you get along shooting the 2.8cm without external finder on the S3?
I have to try out one of these AR-1 (never have been a softie fan but maybe this helps with the shutter release position of the Nikon bodies and big hands).

Thank you for kind comments, I struck lucky.
The AR-1 looks weird but makes the operation much better IMHO.
On framing, just like exposure where I shoot sunny sixteen, I guess. It is though an educated guess based on what I see in the finder and what I judge I will get on previous rolls. Just when my eye is "in" I change lenses :)
I am not adverse to cropping, too puritanical that route, especially with a rangefinder.
I have just developed a roll from that combination of a tree, too boring to post, on the daily dog walk that I took to check the framing and I did miss a little on the RHS, the tree must not have been symmetrical!!

I have been after a nice 85mm f1.8 a while, the lens featured in Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow-Up (1966) wielded by David Hemmings. I found one eventually at a realistic price but the hood is elusive, HN-7. At least it is a screw fit the snap on type prefer to snap off and disappear.
Lovely lens, Nikon though have never made a bad 85mm.
Yes it was raining a little, the F6 isn't babied.
More trivia, the film was 1966 so that would be the H version, single coated coated, mine is about 1970/1 . It has received the Ai kit 38, makes it more versatile. Only problem was the day was a bit grim and I was loaded with Ektar.
 
New(-to-me, obviously) Mamiya 6, 50mm lens, UV and pola filters, cortado, chaser. Goofy Hipstamatic photo using the iPhone.
