Not sure yet about reliability of that particular body as have recently acquired it, but that 50mm PS lens seems seriously sharp.
Just make sure to always carry some fresh batteries and maybe a bit of aluminium foil. My copy was a bit of a diva when it came to batteries and I think they’re generally well-known for that type of issue. But otherwise it’s a great camera and esp the extended shutter speed range is neat.

Last week I had the fun, humbling, recurring experience of shooting, developing and scanning a couple rolls of film only to find that I wasn't particularly happy with most of the images (missed focus, bungled exposure, terrible framing). hahaha. lol. ack. I love (and hate) shooting film.
The three that I disliked the least...my dad checking to see if there was any gas in the mower:
@louear excellent. How did you set up for the stitch in the first Pen y Fan shot? I've been wanting to try something similar, but ideally keeping the movement in a single plane as much as is possible.

This is one of her cars at a recent La Jolla car show.
She was photographed by some of the best and most famous photographers of the day- some photos being auctioned soon by Heritage- and a chance to see some of these famous photos in one place
Well obviously to make a hat and look the part while you’re dealing with the quirky battery compartment of the SQ-Ai!
Nah just something to try and make the battery contacts extra tight. More of a last resort kind of thing, but what can you do when you have a great shot in front of you and the damn camera just refuses to fire..

My first time trying Rodinal. I like it better than HC-110, for FP4/HP5 at least.
Chamonix 4x5 + Zeiss 135 + HP5
Lovely B&W tones!
Shame that the cute dog is having to wear a "lampshade". Have you ever noticed that dogs tend not to bark when wearing them? I tried putting one on once (after our dog had had to wear it for a while) and then made the mistake of barking -- and was slightly taken aback by how loud it was. A bit like being inside a megaphone, I imagine (not that I've ever tried that),

So strange you mention that because yes, he barked less! Maybe I should make him wear it all the time

Thanks! Pure luck they both stayed still.

Beautiful slice of DOF in this composition. Why the cone of shame for the pup?
Thanks, happy it turned out. He scratched his eye in a tree outside. All better now!
My portrait or vertical posts always look mushy - I run a script t o size them to 1000 pixels - whereas horizontals I do at 1400 on their longest axis. I'm thinking 1000 is too close to HD's 1080, and it is being resampled. What vertical size to you post portrait or square frame photos?
A few from a recent 35mm roll of Ektachrome E100 . These are lab scans but I have adjusted the white balance and levels a bit to taste. I recently shot a roll of E100 on 645 and wasn't that thrilled with the results, but I am very pleased with these. I think E100 is well suited to sunny conditions but may still need a bit of further warming.
