My 1st...

Hey People
I've just posted a few shots in the gallery with my new Bessa R. It's the 1st time i've used a 35mm camera. I had a little bit of trouble loading the film heehee :bang: . Still I got there in the end 😀 Could this be the end of my Canon D350 heehee. Rangerfinders are so much fun.

Hello there! Yes, I have been attracted to the rangefinder love. I have a digitla camera but the Voigtlanders are so good and so cheap (relatively) that I have bought two bodies and five lenses. I scan in my film pix, and they are better than my 5MP digital camera.

Wow this is scary, people who have never experienced the deep joy of film (lost leaders, scratched negs, setting the wrong film speed etc etc :bang: ) I have a level head about this stuff and would say don't throw the 350D away, even if it is from the copier company (Nikon DSLR user 😀 ) At the same time enjoy the freedom that a rangefinder brings without all the distracting whizz bangs and whirrs of an SLR.

I reckon you've a pretty fine eye for a picture there too. Your image of the street market in Soho was pretty startling from the point of view that it doesn't seem to have changed at all in the 20 years or so since I was last there.

Looking forward to seeing some more of your pictures. Hey I might even get some time to put up some of mine, sometime!

Regards

Andy
