Hi Roger,
I am looking to buy one of these cameras, and I was wondering if you could email me regarding, what lenses to look out for, what are the prices I should pay, viewfinders etc.
If you could find a moment, would love to hear from you.
My email is in my profile.
Cheers,
Ciprian

The CV accessory shown in the above photo is quite expensive but works very well for landscape mode wide-angle shots. I recommend it. I must try Reala. I used 400 and 800 ISO Fuji Superia for years, but have had to move to 100 ISO for my big panoramas, and I am less happy with it than with the faster emulsions, although that could be lack of familiarity. Color neg. film to B&W gives excellent results in my experience, too, just like a good chromogenic film. I also get excellent scans from my local Fuji DPE shop. The nice young lady will now scan 2,400dpi, which is lovely for my panoramas...

As I am just discovering, "level" takes on an entirely new meaning when you shoot wide angle and panoramic photographs. I think I need to pester my local camera shop to find me a dual accessory shoe. Although I shoot lots of digital for my work, I prefer to shoot film with my older cameras. I am especially fond of Fuji Reala 100. My lab develops the film then I scan the negatives. You are so right about the new color printers. They deliver such wonderful color and B&W. BTW, when I desaturate scanned Reala negatives I get excellent B&W images.

Yes, Tabitha, this is one of my weapons of choice. A very simple, basic camera, no auto anything. Definitely not point-and-shoot! But that suits my slow-moving style, prowling around and trying different angles until something clicks (the shutter, usually). [g]

Interesting!.. now I know what the culprit looks like that contributes to these spectacular wide angle shots ;oP I agree that film are still wonderful in their own ways, an Im just learning, never played with film yet only being shooting digital for a year.. began to notice the pics i was often drawn to where indeed captured with film!.. so i think they definately have their quirks that make them unique, where as the digital have to be worked for their effects. Thanks Roger for sharing your valuable knowledge, experience and stunning scenes! ;O)
Regards

Bertram, it's easy when you know how (like so many things). Click on "Roger Williams," and when you get to that page, on the left in the margin there is a list called "My Portfolios," and "Cameras" is the third down. Click on that and you will see what I have taken so far.

Bertram: I thought so! Did you see the photo of my wonderful stereo rig? I got some great stereo slides with it the other day. I may post some side-by-side stereo pairs here, using the panorama format to make them wide enough to see detail. I have such a weird and wonderful collection of cameras that I've decided to photograph them all for the record. The ones so far are in my "Cameras" folder...

No clue where this flag comes from but I will correct that immediately ! ;-)I still live in the "old" Europe.

Good to hear from you, Bertram! I cannot bear flare, and definitely suffered from it until I got this hood. Since then I NEVER see flare. I am surprised at your mention of parallax. I have never noticed this with the double shoe. But then I seldom take things from close range, where parallax becomes important. I see you have an American flag by your name. Did you move? [g]

Like mine, also with the level but I still could not decide to buy that hood. I know it is enormously important but you cannot put the camera into any pocket of your coat when this hood is mounted. Too big and easy to break.
Should buy it anyway, lost some pics by flare which I cannot repeat.
The increase of parallax by the double shoe is considerable and can be surprising ! :-)
Best,
bertram

Oddly enough, Ray, I was never that fond of darkroom work after the first magic of making 6 x 9cm contact prints in the cupboard under the stairs when I was boy or 13 or 14. The advent of the digital age was a great liberation, and the current generation of ink-jet printers is all I
need to produce great colour prints. So now I feel I have the best of both works. Film in my camera and a digital darkroom!

Hi Roger...another fascinating 'about'. Beautiful looking equipment in your shot and I have to agree with you, there was a greater sense of achievement and far more satisfaction from the efforts you put into it. Borrowing the bathroom and quickly setting up your temporary darkroom. Photography has changed with digital and auto this and that and I am guilty of adopting these new ways.Well done you for keeping and using your film cameras and equipment. Best wishes to you....Ray

Hi, 130. Thanks for the visit and comment...
Hmmm. Maybe not so simple as point-and-shoot, but probably more fun. Certainly more satisfaction! And what do you mean "then"? I still use this camera on a daily basis!!
