Sorry for starting yet another thread.
I know quite a few of us shoot fairly often and with varied gear.
I wanted to start this thread to ask brudders what camera and lens combo are u using today ?
I will start with:
Minox GSE camera, world's smallest film camera.
It is a scale focused, ie. you have to estimate the distance, this is a precursor to rangefinders,
which if you think about RF cameras are also distance focused,
except that there is a coupled RF built-in.
As my scale focusing estimation is quite bad, i am shooting most of the stuff at f8, even indoors.
The camera has a several green dots which if aligned should shoot at f8, and about 4m away, this
makes everything from 2.5m to 20m in focus.
The film is tri-x and neopan 400, pushed to 1600.
Brought this to my business trip today, will be home by Thursday. Hope the picture works out.
I agonized over what camera to bring to this biz trip, from my m to my kiev and even the FM was
also considered. In the end, size won out, even though my last two rolls from this camera
was quite blurry, which i do not know if it is my poor estimation or camera defect. oh well, nothing like
being forced to use a camera for 4 days to really know the camera.
captured on my bb camera.
So what camera/lens combo do you have on you now ?
