Welcome Jesiee!
I like "Fisherman chasing fish"- where was it taken? It'd be interesting to see shots from your Hektor when you get round to it.
Cheers
David

Hi! It's nice to see that you've joined this little thread that we have here. It's really amazing what a rangefinder lens can do. :)

I like Fisherman Chasing Fish best. Like the tone. How do you like your Canon 50mm/1.4? Do you use your 50mm more or the 35mm? Do take a look at my gallery. I have a locked Pbase gallery and the password is seance.

Hi Peter,

I like that best too. Unfortunately I cant load more pictures today coz I just found out that I can only upload 5 a day. I'll try to upload more tomorrow... I have some others that I like as well..

Anyway, browsed thru your gallery and must say that it's GREAT!! really good bnws... even the pictures with Kodak 400CN looks good. I tried a roll (with another film camera) but the contrast was not good so I was going to give up on it. Looks like I can give it another go with my rangefinder... U use alot of XP2 as well... think I'll try that as well :p

the Canon 50mm f1.4 is really a street lens.... I use it when I don't wanna take such wide angle pictures which I use my 35mm for.. I'm probably more likely to use my 50mm coz I like the big aperture and not so wide but I feel the 35mm is easier to use coz the max focusing distance is only up to 6m. So when I know my subject is more than 6m, I don't even need to look thru the finder and I can take sharp pictures.. But the 50mm max focusing distance is 20m so I still need to look thru the lens most of the time.. I like both lah :p

You could try emailing Manfred Schmidt- http://www.manfredschmidt.com/prod.html
to see if he's got any A36 (?) chrome lens caps. Think prices are on the high side. I don't recall seeing any caps lately on that great auction site but they do come up from time to time. A filter & hood might be more functional than a front lens cap-

Hi Jesiee,

Thanks for looking at my photos! The XP2 is a wonderful C41 B&W and I use it exclusively nowadays. It is very contrasty and has great tone. You could get them at Ruby. I must say that you are the only lady in Singapore that I know who likes RF! What kind of photography do you indulge in? I would like to see the results of your Hektor! :)

Regards,
Peter

WHAT? you have neglected the G?
What about your plans for a manual RF, was it the leica or the bessa that you liked?

Apart from KEH, don't forget that there is Adorama, b&h photo, photovillage..... and the list goes on....

Happy studying in Hawaii!

Hi Peter, didn't know that XP2 is also a C41 BnW.. Only know that T400CN is a C41 BnW. I guess it's really time for me to try it then :D

Btw, how did you guess that I'm a female? I think most people would assume that I'm a guy :p

Anyway, I do wedding photography (with my hubby), travel photography whenever I go travelling and then tried some fashion shooting but still trying to explore it further..
Hmm in fact, I'm looking for a chance to use my bessa-r to cover a wedding.. wonder how that'd turn out.... hmmm

hhahahaa seems like alot of people interested in the Hektor's results... I need to find a chance to use it though :p
 
Aug 11 or 18? That's another 11 months away..

:eek:

-> Tim.
