More balls and strips of bokeh... RD1 with Canon 50 1.4
These are high voltage ones!
:thumbsup:These are high voltage ones!
Nice pics indeed!! Looks like my ex-Canon 50 f1.4 is in good hands!

Not an RF but Minox 35GT, Scale Focusing camera
My test roll on it:
Kodak Portra 400VC
This camera tends to go under, I've got quite a few under shots from the test roll. Any guru care to share what could be the problem?
Could it be because not TTL metering? Also, I read that in some forums that it is because the mercury battery(the original batt) & the silver oxide (am using 4 LR44 scotch taped together) have different voltages, causing the meter to go pear shaped.
Most shots I would say are a good 1-1.5 stops under.:sweat:

I'm not sure about your camera but my Mamiya 6's meter is in the viewfinder, not TTL. On a bright day, light from the sky hits the viewfinder and tends to fool the camera's meter.
I've since gafferred on a tiny hood for the viewfinder such that stray light doesn't enter it.
If you camera is similar, you can try using your hand to block off light from the sky in order to get more accurate metering.
On occasion, while looking through the viewfinder, I've even used my finger to block areas of highlights (such as a bright sky) so that the meter doesn't get fooled by it.
I also often leave my camera's exposure compensation to +1/3 to +2/3 as I found that the camera tends to be very conservative with highlights.
As for the battery issue, yes it could also be due to that. I've heard this before but I'm not sure if it applies to your camera.

Thanks man.
I googled on the battery issue, some said it effects their exposure, some say its so perfect they could should positive films spot on :dunno:
I'll prob try to narrow down the exposure problem. Could be like what you said, need to run somemore test rolls on it.
Thanks!
Testing the 1935 Thambar 90 2.2 !
new toy from Ben Photo?
yeah. Interesting old lens.
First roll of film with my new M3. Taken with 50 Summilux LTM.
My favorite car brand...
Very nice bro! Crisp!
Major flare bro! Going for the glow?
Yup, taken at 2.2 soft focus. Will try out some normal pics and see the results.
