<p>Eric,<br> The 85/.12 are highly liquid: no problem liquidating those at all. I still use them quite frequently. The slower ones to operate are my favourites: a different shooting and compositional culture so to speak. The XF 35/1.4 can be as poetic as a lux, it's beyond the crons in terms of character, my wife doesn't want to sell any of hers. It's not only luxury packaging, there are some lenses and bodies in Fuji line that have plenty of substance, not just form. The 'outdated' XP1 has very nice dynamic range and the camera processor is close to impeccable, when it comes to color and curve - the camera is a bargain right now for those, who can live with its limitations. I like Olympus colors too, and Panasonic has a lot of things going on for it as well. So, it pays to keep good, old, highly liquid glass and play with all of them on occasion.</p>

<p>Eric,</p> <p>I haven't seen anything in both Fuji 56/1.2 lens iterations to keep them. Something didn't click in that design..I have both 2x FD and 2x EF 85/1.2 and all those are keepers, even though I don't do any paid work anymore.<br> I like Fuji 35/1.4 optically. I like it very much indeed<br> Ruslan, it seems that the Olympus you used makes a better color temp evaluation of the whole scene, judging by the compensation of the blue hue in the shadow on the model's left (viewers' right). Yet we don't have the same scene shot with a Fuji or any other camera for that matter.<br> Mirrorless today, shutterless tomorrow.. it's all psychosomatic, Doctor</p>

<p>"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.”<br /><br />Tesla in 1926</p>

<p><em><strong>Mr Arnold: "You remind me of people who claim climate change is a hoax, or religious fanatics who despise science and refuse to acknowledge its existence"</strong></em><br> <em><strong><br /></strong></em>Oy, vey.. I wouldn't go there. As a trained scientist, at least. Clean and pure science can be very dirty. Just look at Perelman's saga with Poincare Conjecture. As with any politicised debate, if you promote evidence for case A and suppress evidence for case B, you get what we get. And somebody else will have to deal with consequences.<br> Luckily, this debate is not like that. And to top it off, all the equipment debates are boring and unproductive. I cannot imagine a meeting of Carvaggio with Rembrandt being devoted to brushes and paints</p>

<p>Thank you. Those are the bride's parents.. You don't want to be a lady, who is pushing sixty to be 'sharp'. Wrinkles, veins, etc. I have focused on the man's left eyelash.</p>

<p>Thank you all.</p> <p>Mr Watson, what is so different about XP2 in a positive way? I also have the Kodak and Fuji Neopan C-41 films in my fridge. Easier workflow, but do they seem to be more clinical to my eye.. May be I am missing something.</p> <p>I am aiming for the one, may be two prints, that will be my gift to the girl. Me and you are going to be gone, but she will still smile looking at it.<br> <br />Related question: who is printing fiber well nowadays? Regardless of cost.<br> Thank you again for the great help,<br /><br />Y</p>

<p>Looks like I may have posted in a slightly wrong forum. Sorry about that.</p>

<p>Hi All,<br> My friends have their daughter marrying in the last week of September. One of those Sonoma winery venues with everything 'proper', including pro folks for imaging. I am a guest, who wants to make an image or two with a difference. I am not a shooting pro there. I am thinking about using 35mm format: a Leica Mx with a Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.5 and Bergger BRF400+ (ORWO N74+) for a retro look with a glow. Something along these lines. I will also have Canon 85/1.2 L, Canon 200mm L (both), 135L and a few others with me. But I think that it would be more appropriate to have a compact rangefinder to go in a less intrusive manner. What do you think? Maybe regular Tri-X will do? I want an image with a difference without overthinking. After all, your equipment is just that.<br> Thank you for sharing your wisdom..</p>
