One camera, one lens and one roll of film

[back alley]

i have the 3.5 and need to play with it some more to see what it can do.

yup, i like old lenses. different look, and in the case of the 28mm lenses, i like the size and infinity lock/focusing tab of the canons.

 

[back alley]

i prefer the infinity lock also.

After 100 posts I decided to check this thread. A lot of 35 mm here, and all the correct usual suspects. So I'll take a different tack.

Really I'd take a Mamiya 6 RF (this is RFF) and the 75mm lens , with one film.... Fuji Velvia.

My thinking?

size is portable enough
lens is renowned for sharpness (performs somewhat like a 35mm on a 35 mm RF)
Velvia produces lush colour


Jan,

Alternatively my funky Zeiss Ikonette!

I last tried with with Leica CL, 50mm Summicron-C, and Ilford XP2.

if i could only have a rangefinder it would be a Bessa R3A and a LEICA 28-35-50 f/4 Tri Elmar M ASPH Lens Arista ISO 400 film [until my skills warrant doubling the cost of film]

SLR, my Pentax ME Super with my Vivitar 70-210 Zoom M42 mount with a K mount adapter [same film]

or totally retro Pentax S1a the Vivitar in and my battery free meter

Film latitude is helpful since I rarely meter (too lazy).
