Nice first post. Have fun with the camera. What lens did you use?

 

[nitrogen28]

What film did you use?

 

[funksoulava]

I got my R3A about 2 months ago from a very nice fellow from RFF right here. Beautiful set with 40mm Nokton SC, triggerwinder, the works. I shot quite a few rolls through it and I'm loving it (acquired a 12mm Heliar for it in the process).
I also wanted to share some of my Bessa noob shots, didn't want to create a new thread, so if I may:

(Expired and crossprocessed)

(Ektar 100 through 12mm)

What are you waiting for dude? Just do it. 😀

i'm not a big fan of manual focus and the cost for an m-mount system is prohibitive

Then what are you doing on this forum? Manual focus is de rigeur for rangefinders and the cameras and lenses are a "get what you pay for". Meaning if you want great quality shots and will take the effort to work with the basics (exposure, depth of field, focusing) you will experience high levels of photographic joy. If that is not your bag then hike over to Best Buy and get yourself a digital auto everything and enjoy. Life has choices.

Rangefinders needn't cost the earth. With a little patience one can easily find a good'un for less than the price of a round of drinks.

funksoulava & Phantomas - beautiful work. 🙂

That's perfectly ok, a lot of people lurk here without ever posting even once, at least FA Limited has found a voice 🙂

Say, did Pentax ever come out with a single RF camera? my mind went blank on this.

 

[squirrel$$$bandit]

I don't think Pentax ever made an RF, no. That would have been cool.

They did make that LTM version of the 43mm Limited, though. The SLR version is awesome.

 

[funksoulava]

Thanks ruby monkey 🙂

 

[punkromance]

Those two are stunning. And I like all of them funksoulava!
