what you want RIGHT NOW

Joe,

It just feels a bit wierd peering around to the far edges of the finder trying to visualize the FOV. Maybe it's just practice. Then again, it's all I can to to focus, set aperture and shutter speed, let alone compose outside my comfort zone. I am a bit dumb, after all.


i bought a 25 cv finder.
put it on the camera and compared the internal view with that of the finder.
once i had that fix in my head it got easier. the sides i had pretty much figured out but the top and bottom was a surprise as there was much more area included than i previously thought.

then i sold the finder.

i just think it's a shame to sell as it's such a fine lens.

Peace in my mind, steady hands, sharp - fast eye, basic of photography( exposure theory) all the time in thoughts, strenght to stand up when I fall & to go fast over mistakes.

Ok Joe,

I took your words to heart and just fired off a PM to Hank Re: his 25/28 finder for sale in the classifieds. I'll let you know how it works for me.
 
The "want", it seems, has changed over time. Now, for pete's sake, I think I want an MF RF. Gotta sell some gear, first.

...okay, I'm also keen on upgrading my scanner situation. SCSI is a royal pain.


Cheers,
--joe.

Aren't you getting a bit out of control here with your desires? A permanent darkroom with lots of room? 🙄

Like Frank, I keep telling myself, "I'm done." And I honestly believe it sometimes. Then I spot something in the classifieds and think, hey, I've always wanted to try out one of those! And so it goes, on and on ...

What I really, really want right now is a neck strap for my Autocord. It's the model with those funny lugs, and no normal strap fits them. There are all kinds of do-it-yourself suggestions on Internet, but I would so prefer the strap that belongs with the camera!
