SF street photos with the FED2

[schmoo]

Just to show that my light-leaky FED isn't always leaky. I had a great time with it on a rainy day in SF. All shot with Kodak Tri-X 400:

It's a great, sturdy little camera and I love it. People also don't often notice I'm shooting because it's small and quiet. I can see what the fuss is all about!

Nice. I'm glad somebody was out shooting during that wet spell! What lens?

Thanks, Ray! And you know with a new camera, no weather can keep you from using it.

I just have the base lens, Industar-26M. Been reading a lot about lenses lately and there's a lot of info out there.

Nice shoot. Glad to see that you can get some picures without the light leaks.

I like these shots. Thanks for letting us see them. I'm glad you are enjoying a FED-2. I must get myself one soon.

Thanks! Looking back at the pics I've taken with this camera, I think that this is the best set. I took it out again in good (sunny) weather over the weekend and even though I had every seam on the body taped up with electrical tape, I still had major light leaks on about 1/2 the frames.

I'm no engineer and I'm the opposite of crafty, so I'm running out of ideas on where the leak is coming from. The FED2 may just be relegated to a "rainy day friend" if I can't figure this out.

Thanks Warren! I greatly enjoyed my cappuccino.

You'll have to bring along your Fed and meet some of the local RFF crew at our next meeting/outing. Everyone but Mike is well worth meeting. ;-)
