The n2000/2020 are a steal at today's pricing. Yes, it's not "cool" but it does everything I want and nothing more in a nice handy compact package. The viewfinder is so nice to focus with as well

Fujifilm PRO 400H being discontinued
leo_tam1 replied to Colin O's topic in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
I'll miss the pastel skin tone/GREEN greens look of this film -
I wish the rollei 35 was a rangefinder I use an Olympus XA and a Canon Rebel T2 and a 40 stm - only down side is I had to strip the melting rubber grip off and then glue the little remote receiver window back on -

What's the best film camera for medium-format hand-held photography?
leo_tam1 replied to rexmarriott's topic in Medium Format
Thanks. Elx bodies are so underrated - they sell for the price of the acute matte screen they came with. This whole time I thought the h series used a focal plane shutter like every other 645 system. Did not know that it was a leaf shutter system. Thanks- 139 replies

What's the best film camera for medium-format hand-held photography?
leo_tam1 replied to rexmarriott's topic in Medium Format
I was actually thinking of the H series film cameras - H1/H2 - I've been using the 645N sporadically for a year or two (the only lens I had for it was a 80 F Planar because the 2000FCM my dad was letting me use stopped working reliably, but have added a 100 Planar and a 150 Sonnar) - I don't own any Pentax lenses at all - was just thinking of an "all hasselblad" solution (yes, I know the H series is Fuji) - rarely use studio flash, and if I did, I'd probably pick up another 500 series body and just use a tripod Thanks- 139 replies

I know the Hasselblad H series is a kludge with the V series adapter - but I may go that route... (currently have a 645N using Hasseblad lenses) - A better handheld solution for the Zeiss lenses vs. a 500C (at least for me)- 139 replies

Has anyone's F5 or F6 ever had sticky rubber? My F100 is slightly tacky (not worse than my maxxum 7), but still kinda annoys me

Thanks. I have a hasselblad and have used a Pentax 645 handheld with hasselblad lenses. The hasselblad is a bit violent for handheld use, so I don't even think about it. Will probably end up with a 645 of some sort- the rz/rb is tempting though. I don't mind the weight if it's dampened well- 139 replies

Which SLR systems are better suited for handholding? Lots of wedding work was done with the 645 systems right? Pentax 67 and fashion work was pretty prevalent. How about the rZ/rb ? Sure the heavy, but I've heard users say they're well damped? I'm finding color negative work in 35mm less and less enticing- 139 replies

Early Hasselblad 500C observations/question
leo_tam1 replied to andyfalsetta's topic in Medium Format
Wow, good look inside an early hasseblad - I have to dig out my dad's - it came with an early sticker over the slow speeds (later cameras had the stripe painted) 80mm Planar (which sadly has some gnarly separation) -
I don't shoot enough to justify film (I know...) Mix up developers, finish 36 exposure rolls, make sure the chemicals didn't expire, shoot film (color) before they got too expired, etc. I still love my film gear, and I still have some 35mm provia 400x (expired back in 2014, and it's anxiety inducing trying to figure out how how not to waste it, but knowing I have to use it soon), but I think I like other people's results with film better than my own

Delta3200 vs. TMZ
leo_tam1 replied to ed_farmer's topic in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
Allancobb - please let us know how they compare - I wasted so much of my tmz stash trying to learn the film (focusing in the dark was another skill I needed to improve on) -
When and how do you use E6 these days?
leo_tam1 replied to RaymondC's topic in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
E6 is kinda why I kept film gear around Any tips for 400x Provia? Trying to use the film's character to my advantage. My first few rolls ended up with too much blown skies... Time to get an ND grad
