Thank you!

When photographing using digital I use the Fuji X-T 1,2&3 cameras. For street photography they are fine cameras. If I want full frame or depth of field blur I use my film cameras. The fuji lenses are quite fine especially the 23 F2, it is a superb lens.

When using my Fuji Cameras I shoot with the 23.27. or 35mm lens. When Shooting with my film cameras I use the 35, 45. 50mm Lens.

UPDATE: Yesterday I gave it a slap on the side and this morning I put my 27mm lens back on and low and behold it started to work again. I'll keep it around the apartment as a cat camera and sunset from the window camera. Go figure.

Battery issues(dead, poor connection)could do it. Not sure what you mean by "stiff" settings. Any chance it took a dip? Any activity on the LCD or EVF with a charged battery?

BY stiff I mean that the dials don't move as easily as they once did. The batteries are working as is the LCD and EVF . It was in the display case at the store for two years before I took it back. Perhaps something dried out in the camera. Or it may be as you said a poor connection. Thanks for responding.

This is the story: Two years ago I purchased 2 X-T2's and placed my X-T1 on consignment. It never sold, so recently I took it back and was using it on occasion. Today I took it out and it won't fire. I notice all the settings are stiff but I'M not sure that has anything to do with the camera not firing.

 

Would it be worth having it fixed? Or should I consign it to the dumpster which I would hate to do since I feel a camera is a tool of creation.

 

Thanks.

I learned photography on the Contax RTS that I inherited from my father,

Lately I've been going out with the Fuji-X-T2 and either the 23,27,or 35mm lens. On occasion I roam around with either the Contax film SLR or the Konica Hexar AF. All great cameras.

<p>I too saw this documentary. I liked it, it is well worth seeing. I would also read her biography that is attached to her website, it differs somewhat from the movie. I felt that the bio indicated that she was more well liked and less eccentric than in the movie. </p>

<p>Very fine work here.</p>

<p>Thanks for introducing us to Arthur Tress, he has some eye.</p>

<p>I've used both a number of Zeiss and Yashica lenses. The Yashica lenses are quite fine, the only difference visually for me, is the Yashicas seemed to render the image in a slightly cooler tone while the Zeiss has that warmer more "Romantic" tone. I've used the Yashica 50 1.7, 1.9, the 35 2.8 and the 100 Macro as well as the 35-105 zoom. All are quite fine especially the Macro 100. I think the later Yashicas may have been built by Cosina and had more plastic. The Zeiss lenses (wich I still use) are great. the 50 1.4 and 1.7, the 35 2.8, etc. You can't go wrong with the Yashica ML lenses. My style of photgraphy has changed so I limit myself to the 50 or 35 mm lenses. If you can get hold of the Yashica 100 macro I think you will be delighted with it. All the best.</p>

<p>I have both the Contax RX and the Aria. The RX is very sturdy and well worth a try. </p>

<p>1. The Contax RX.<br>

2. The Contax Aria.<br>

3. Konica Hexar AF.<br>

4 Voigtlander Bessa R.</p>

<p>The 167mt, the RX and the Aria all have the same exact mount.</p>

<p>For me the greatest ever SLR is the Contax RX while the Contax Aria gets honorable mention. <br>

For the greatest non SLR film camera I nominate the Konica Hexar AF.</p>

<p>August, I would say both rare, i.e. really old and some still usable 35mm Nikons,Canon etc. I thought the desplay was very nice.</p>

<p>Yesterday 6/16/10 I went to look at the exhibit of photos at the Fashion Institute of technology on 7th Ave and 27th street in Manhattan. In the back of the ground floor exhibit they have set up two, plexglass enclosed tables full of old film cameras and old film canisters and darkroom equipment. I liked this part of the exhibit better than the photos on the walls. So if anyone living in the metro area is interested, you may want to take a look.</p>

<p>This is a fantastic lens. Great for shooting in the warm weather months when you don't want to lug around anything very heavy. It also renders the image in a lovely way. </p>

<p>I own a Cantax RX and a Contax Aria and up until last June a Contax S2. I live in New York City so I have always taken them to Panorama Camera Repair on 30th Street. It is a mom and pop place that has repaired cameras when other places refused because of lack of parts. That being said, it will cost you as much to repair these cameras as it would to buy a used replacement from KEH cameras. KEH by the way also repairs cameras but I have never used them. Good luck.</p>

<p>I don't fully agree withe the comment above. I don't think some of your shots are half bad. It appears to me that you do have some sense of geometry and direction. Any situation can be seen better and perhaps each shot here could have been. Nevertheless I've seen a lot worse. I wouldn't call it sneaky street, it's either street or not. </p>

<p>This came out one day after I purchased the E620. In a way I'm glad it didn't come out before I made my buy since I would have been in a quandry. I do mainly street photography, so this E-P 1 has it's appeal for me. But I can wait. If it gets the rep as a great street shooter then I will really be tempted. But for now I think the E620 is very nice and fairly quick and unobtrusive for street. I also have my Hexar AF's to use.</p>

<p>You have some very good photos in that set. Well done.</p>
