Off on vacation!

[FrankS]

Leaving tomorrow morning with my family for 2 weeks to the east coast of Canada. Don't know about internet accessability so I'll likely be unusually quiet for a time. Still taking the cameras I posted about a while ago: Leica Minilux for Fuji Sensia slides, M6 with 25, 35, and 50mm lenses for B+W APX100, and my 1956 Rolleiflex 3.5E, also for B+W (FP4+ 100).

Be nice to each other!

Have fun Frank!

 

[BudGreen]

I'm thinking of taking my new (old) Rolleiflex on my next trip. Let me know how that works out.

Enjoy Frank..

Thanks for the HU on the M4-2 - we'll see who's it is and if it's still available.

Cheers
Dave

 

[FrankS]

Thanks Bud, I will.

BTW, spent $180 on film: 10 rolls colour slides, 10 rolls APX100, 10 rolls 120 FP4+.

Vacation? hmmmmmmmm. I think I've heard of these. Ah yes, I think I had one once in 1992. I believe it was a good thing. Have fun on yours Frank.

[back alley]

have a great time frank!

you're not taking the hexar af eh? i would have thought it might be a fun camera for shooting w/o much work involved.

and dave! selling your gear to pay for that lens and now an m4-2?
😉 hard to beat at that price though...

[FrankS]

Thanks.
Yes Joe, the Hexar AF would have been a good camera to take, but I could only take so much. I went through much mental gymnastics to settle on the cameras that I chose.

 

[back alley]

which 25 do you have?

i don't recall you mentioning it before.

joe

 

[FrankS]

The CV one, Colour Snapshot it's called I think. The one that is now discontinued.

Another camera I have that was a strong contender for this vacation was a Fujica GS645Wide.

 

[back alley]

i would have thought thr hexar af over the bigger fuji...unless photography was an item on the holiday agenda. other wise the af for snaps and that great lens if things got interesting.

you don't use the 25 much or is it a recent acquisition?

 

[FrankS]

I do use it a bit. Had it for about a year. My problem is that I haven't had the inclination to do a lot of printing lately and my flatbed scanner is nonfuntional so I can't share what I do print.

 

[back alley]

time for a nice used film scanner.

may i suggest the canon 2710, really good price, does a pretty good job.
i traded gene an oly 35rc for mine.

The CV 25mm/4 lens is very sharp and contrasty. I love mine.

[FrankS]

It's not a Zeiss 😉 , but it's plenty good enough for me too!

 

[Rich Silfver]

I've just stared a three months leave.
Hoping to take some photos.

 

[FrankS]

Mine is only 2 months. (This is a 2 week trip within that.)
