I have started the Labor Day weekend by using the following camera/lens combos:

1. Leica CL + Summarit 50mm/1.5 [after it was cleaned] ==> 1 roll B&W
2. Pentax ME Super + Pentax 85mm/1.8 ==> 1 roll B&W
3. Canon P + Elmar 90/4 [to check focusing] + Summarit ==> 1 roll color
4. Konica Hexar AF ==> 1 roll color

What have you been using today and what will you use the coming days?

recently had the meter fixed on my Rollei 35, so I'm running a few rolls through it. (BW400CN and UC400)

I'll probably use the Canon F1👎 and the 50 1.2, 35/2, 100/2, 17/4 for anything else incidental and low light. (BW400CN and UC400)

The P and a few lenses are in a box waiting for info from Mark Hama to send for a CLA (unfortunately). Keeping all the big cameras in bags this weekend. My shoulders need a break and I have no gigs that require them to date. 🙂
 
Today (Saturday) I had the Canon 7 (FP4+) with Canon 50/1.8 out for a walk in the drizzle (remnants of Ernesto moving in). Negs are drying.

Pensacola! This is the first time I see someone here from Pensacola.

I have an enormous collection of cameras & lenses ranging from a Canon EOS 1Ds II, several Hasselblads, old and new, so I am not lacking the tools.


Today I carried my Zeiss Ikon with me when going for a stroll with my brother-in-laws dog. I am testing the newest lense I have bought for it; the ZM 50/2,0, but the light was gray, dull and uninspiring in Oslo today with a rainfall in the afternoon so I did not take any pictures.
 
I'm working this weekend but will bring in the bag (just in case)...
1. Yashica Electro 35G loaded with Fuji Super 100.
2. Nikon F100/ 35mm 1.4AIS loaded with Fuji Superia 800.

I'm not really planning on shooting anything in my spare time. Mostly trying to catch up on scanning and processing lately.
 
I carried a Kodak Retina IIa this morning. I just got my Contax IIIa back from a CLA and I have the 50mm f1.5 Sonnar on it, I'm going to also use a Nikon black barrel 35mm f2.5, and a J-9 85mm f2.0 and an uncoated 135mm f4.0 Zeiss Sonnar to test out the IIIa.

There is an antique air show going on right now so I will probably be shooting my Canon F1 with a 500mm lens for some wing shooting Sunday morning.

There is also an Old Thresher's Reunion going on with steam powered tractors. I'll probably use a Koni-Omega with 58mm and B&W for that one.

Raid,I live just across the causeway in Pace.Work in Pcola at NAS.I've been a member since the spring.I have seen your work and admire it.
 
I was out before sunrise with a roll of Kodachrome 64 in two Nikon F bodies. They had 105mm f2.5 and 28mm f2.8 lenses. With new rain here there wasn't a speck of dust in the air and my shoes got soaking wet. I peered at my Sekonic a few times but only pressed a shutter button two or three times.

Glorious weather does not *always* make for great photographs, but it can make for a very nice day. 🙂

i was really dissapointed when i gave him a olympus 35rd for cla, the rangefinder was off when i got it back, and when i sent it back, the light meter broke. i waited 9 months to get it fixed but he never got the parts...

other than that, he's good with yashica mat's..

i'll be using a leica m6 with a 50...but it's raining so maybe not..
 
I am in the process of loading a Yashica GSN with Reala 100. I have never used the GSN before. I found a lens hood for it and also a battery for the automatic and the meter. We have plenty of sunny skies here in Florida, so the weather is not a problem right now.

My second camera will most likely be the M3 with the 35mm Summicron.

I have been recently exploring the long fishing pier at Pensacola Beach.You can walk on it and then turn around and shoot the beaches from above the water of the Gulf of Mexico.

A bit with the T-90 & 50/1.4SSC but I'll probably put a roll of Fuji 1600 in the CL & play a bit this evening.

I was out this morning (Saturday) with a Kiev 4a with 35mm (J-12) and 85mm (J-9). Tomorrow I'll be out with the above and Leica IIIc. Haven't desided which lens though..
