I haven't read the entire thread...

I'm not sure if the lens is okay. There's something going on. I don't think it's fungus. Does anyone have shots they have made with one of these?

Will you use a strap?

And eBay sellers, they're the worst.

And film will live forever. Or it's dead. I can't remember.

That's funny, Bill...I can't remember, either. 🙄

Damn...this thread reminds me, again, of why I love this place.

so you thought i was actually talking about smoking , didn't anybody read the OP 😀😀

oh, sorry, i just skimmed over a couple of replies:bang:

i'm non smoker for the time being (hopefully a long time), dam things are a PITA, only reason i took them up was to wean myself off those nicotine chewing gums

😀😀

As an ex-smoker, I feel I have no right to criticize smokers. However, I always cringe inside when I smell one walking by me; I hate that I used to stink that badly. I'm sorry I subjected others to that putrid stench for so long.

Trust you never fart😱

why read the entire book when you can go to the last few pages for the conclusion?

 

[Ducky]

I gave up smoking and I am still not going to read this thread.

Not whilst standing around outdoors in front of people just trying to get into the building, no.

It's people like what cause unrest.

 

[surfer dude]

Don't feed the trolls!

...especially after midnight!

Or should that be gremlins that you shouldn't feed?

I still want to post to this thread, but I inadvertantly read the whole thing, now I have to wait more. OI!!

was obscurely quoting an old steve martin bit

And yet, my statement is still .TRUE.

I disagree with the OP - even the cheapest binocs are useful for astronomy. Binoculars are easier to locate things with than a telescope where you're looking at the sky through a drinking straw at a right angle, upside down and backwards.

Especially in the freezing cold. However, freezing cold conditions for astronomy are good for film reciprocity failure. Bad for batteries. Yet another reason why film is so much better than digital.

Is the zip on the Billingham similar to the Domke?

I find the Domke zip a little rough on delicate camera finishes if you're not careful putting your camera in or removing it from the F5-XB.

 

[Rogrund]

What thread?

 

[icebear]

Oh yes indeed, I read the whole thread - I wish I didn't, too late now but the most important question still remains :
Black or chrome? 😀

I enjoy the bokeh of a Zuiko 85/2, but find that of a CV 35/1.2 goes better with my pasta.
