kivis Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 <p>Made in '63, bought used in '74, Major prism dent in '82, new Griptac covering in 2005, CLA and shutter mod in 2008.</p> <p>Thinking of living with only my F for a year with the help of my 3 Nikon lenses: 28/2, 50/1.4, and 105/2.5. Am I crazy? Oh and a whole bunch of Tri-X.<br> <br> <img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7640/28108724065_88a390cb72_z.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="640" /></p> kivis Cameras, lenses, and fotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_shriver Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 <p>Not crazy at all. Beautiful camera with the plain prism. (Ugly as sin with the Photomic.)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 <p>Great project, <strong>Akiva</strong>, it's the sort of disciplined approach that produces great images. Go for it, and share some of your results with the Forum.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 <p>Tri-X is good (especially given that it's one of the few survivors from the day) for "re-enactment".</p> <p>However, if you are not what the historical re-enactors call a "stitch-counter," you might consider the creamy B&W images of Ilford's XP-2.<br> In any case, have fun. I personally enjoy shooting the old classics, but I was there the first time around so see no particular <em>personal</em> virtue in going back. ;)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kivis Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 <p>A beauty for sure. Yes Ilford XP-2 will be in the mix.</p> kivis Cameras, lenses, and fotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew_brown7 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 <p>Well, I like the Photomic heads....in fact I prefer them to the plain head. There, I said it. In for a penny as for a Pound, I have 4 altogether, all with Photomic heads!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
