Hi guys, its been months since i've been to this forum and months

since i've needed to buy film (Tri-X); Now that i need to, i find that

greymarket film is nowhere to be found! What happend to buying a roll

for $2.19? Surely someone has an answer to this or relevant links that

point to one. I used the google search tool but could find nothing on

photo.net.

Anyone?

GRAIN GRAIN GRAIN.... Use your feet.... they are really cheap.... plus i find that it helps my photography to restrict myself to only one lens, you get more creative.

These pictures probably carry no merit with anyone but yourself. Sure the dresses are nice looking, and so is the kid. But the photos are just average photos of your kids stuff. Nothing really to critique here.... if you had no kids, what would you photograph?

Granted, TMX is sharp as hell, but just a paint in the ass to work with.... and is really not worth the trouble of fooling with because you could always use neopan or delta if you need 100 speed film.

You can use it to interesting effect with hc110 developer to attain a "plasticy" look... which is interesting. Blown highlights, but only the tip top.

Rangefinders offer a direct view of your subject,instead of a projected image on ground glass. I think that this leads to pictures that are more concious of the subject. Also, having that space around the framelines is a great help, it really helps the composition and also makes the photog aware of what is just outside of the frame, which helps to place the correct thing s in the frame.

Well thats why RF's are so great.... the reason that Leicas are so great is b/c they are simply the finest execution you can find of a rangefinder.

Get a Kowa Super 66, the lenses are darn good and the camera is well built and reliable.

Will we only recive one phototgraph, or 21 photos from this? Prehaps we could each print 21 prints, and mail them to Roger with a SASE, then he sorts and remails the prints out to everyone.

I think this applies to a lot of people on this board:

Lacking Extremely Important Camera Applications

Minolta Hi-matic 7s2 - Uses a 40mm lens, reported to be the same as the 40mm summicron.

Thomas, very eggleston-esque.

I like them all. Good work! I dilike moste of the junk posted around here (I'm not saying mine is different) but this is good stuff.

I like the way the colors look in you color work.. particularly the teenage mother series. What film(s) do you use for you color stuff?

I'm one of those guys that never really likes the camera bag he

uses: too many pockets, too much padding, not enough padding, etc.

So, I usually end up with my cameras clunking around on the front

seat of my car; not a good way to keep a camera in good shape. But

I have now found the perfect solution for me: A Zing "Deluxe, Multi-

Strap camera/Accessory Bag" Its neoprene, it is not too snug and not

too loose, will hold a leica with any decent sized lens attatched,

and it looks like it could accomadate a grip or rapidwinder as

well. A great way to keep your camera from getting bumped around in

a backpack or lumbar pack.

B&H has them in a couple of colors(I got black):

M lenses are the heart of the M system, so redesigning the lenses would be a waste or time and money for leica.

At some point, some sort of technology will be developed that will allow the use of the current M lenses. We'll just have to wait.

On another note, it will be darn easy to make a digital adapter for the M, considering the flap that swings up in the back.
