Thanks for the photos Nino, Halong Bay in fact looks very interesting. The landscape is nice, but if I could, like Jeff said, visit those fishing family, it would be great.

Jeff, love those people shots you took!! I can't imagine how difficult it is to take people shots with a MF

Thinking hard now... problem is I only have limited time in Hanoi (well, 5 days...)

Hey guys

Wife and I are heading off to Hanoi and Sapa this Friday (yes, excited!!)

I've searched through different traveller's forums on the net, just wanna hear

the photographer's point of view.

We will spend 6 days in Sapa and 5 days in Hanoi.

In Sapa, we will start with a 3 day "Market explorer" tour then 3 days of our

free time. Just wondering what we could do in that 3 days? We love

photographing local people and local life and a bit of landscape we dont mind

We will have 5 full days in Hanoi on my own. Just wondering will this be too

long... should we go to Halong Bay as well, but from what I read, I think HLB

is all about landscape right? We want to know whether Hanoi offers enough to

keep us excited (photographically) for 5 days.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Regards

Zane

Hi people

I will be traveling to Spain later this year and I plan to take some

fast film with me. Concern is of course the security checks in the

airports. I want to take with me Tri-Xs, T Max 400s

I know that X Ray is more sensitive to fast films with speed like

1600 and 3200.

I am just not sure if I push my Tmax 400 to 1600, will it be as

sensitive to X Ray as other 1600 film? Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks

Zane

Paul,

Do you just hold on to the shutter for slow speed as long as 15sec? It doesn't accept the normal shutter release cable, does it?

Thanks people

I've put 4 rolls of film through it already, from these experience, I could feel that the 35GL goes slower than 1s (as I said, 1s is the slowest on the spec sheet)

The pics are quite good, sharp and saturated.

It was a good purchase

Hello guys

This is actually my first post. Just bought a Minox 35 GL from a

camera repairer (he said that the shutter has been repaired by him

and he gives me a 12 month warranty :) Wow, it's very different the

Canon SLRs I am used to. That 'click' to me doesnt really indicate

photo taking ...

One question, I read on the specification sheet here that the

shutter speed of this camera go as slow as 1 sec. But when i look

through the viewfinder it only indicates 1/30 as the slowest shutter

speed. What does that mean?

(having fun guessing my focus)

Thanks guys

Zane
