Beautiful camera Raid. you really need to do home processing of B&W film. C-41 process film just isn't good enough for that work of art.;)
 
End of the show.

I hope that you also view this camera and lens as being beautiful. I do.

He he he

Greg,
I know that I will one day return to doing B&W at home. I once had many negative strips hanging from clothes hangers all over my student apartment. I recall getting some very well developed negatives out.

Actually this isn't a matter of better/worse. The S3 2000 and original S3 1958 finders are different. The S3 2000 finder etched framelines rather look like the ones of the recent Cosina-Voigtländer external viewfinders (white and rather large lines), while the ones of the S3 1958 resemble the ones of the Leitz SBOOI finder of that era (very thin and golden lines).

The main advantage of the S3 2000 finder resides in the RF patch when compared with a faded S3 1958 one. And many of them have now faded (desilvering), so that there is very little contrast in the RF patch. But re. those on which the RF patch hasn't faded from desilvering, they still hold the comparison with the S3 2000 pretty well, and I personally much prefer the look of the 1958 framelines.

No big deal anyway.

I prefer to get the new version of the S3 since it is newer. As you said, older cameras may have silvering loss, and I just wanted the lens anyways here. so I got the remake.

Maybe your computer has a high level of security setting that prevents images from smugmug to show up.

Now I can see them all, either in this thread or at smugmug. Actually I use Firefox with AdblockPlus embedded in it, and for some reason ABP had blocked ads including smugmug images at some time in the past, hence the empty posts of yours. Now solved, thanks !

Beautiful kit Raid, you will be very happy with it. Congrats. Christmas is in March in Florida.
