I got this sexy little guy last week. 1953 FED 1. Despite their reputation of being a bitch to use and load, I found it quite easy. All I had to do was follow proper instructions on how to cut down the leader, and it was bottom-loaded in 30 seconds flat.
As of this moment, I do not have film in any camera. It has been a long while since that has happened. There is lots of film in the cabinet and ice-box, though, so it won't be long before the M2 gets loaded up and taken out for some exercise.
Today I am carrying the Pentax K-01 equipped with the 31mm FA Limited. A truly wonderful combo and it certainly focuses far quicker and more accurately than I can with my M9. I must be getting old. 🙂
lazy outfit for a lazy day. the zoom lens came with an other camera. mainly using prime lenses, i am curious how the pictures made with this lens will come out.
Today, I'm hauling my Canham 5x12 around (teaching a class on platinum/palladium printing tonight, and the lesson is about making film negatives for the process). Ordinarily, though, it's my pair of Rolleiflex 2.8E bodies.
