  1. Yes, I guess that made sense at the time when the cameras were the mainstream tool for photography. (Whereas now, for my 'hobby' photography, I value technical simplicity as there is less to go wrong.)

  3. F=64mm on 6x9, scaled down from 2982px x 2048px, Portra400
  4. My Signet 35 shutter speeds were :- [] 1/34 at '1/25' [] Accurate at 1/50 and 1/100 [] 1/200 at '1/300' - actually a nice progression 1/200 is fast enough for me ;) Armed Forces Day, Thornbury, 30 June 2018 by John Hancock, on Flickr
  5. Earlier this year I got a Signet 35 (the model as reviewed in the link given above - thanks for that). I've shot a couple of rolls with it, I quite like it. It has a neat form factor and the controls fall nicely under the fingers for me.
  6. Additional - just seen an email from Fred G explaining that this is a generic specification of w/nw threads. Fair enough.
  7. I BEG your pardon - but where did it specify so? Maybe I missed seeing it amongst the 'no birds' bird pictures ;-)

  12. I think of 6x9 as a convenient, conventional, description, for the reasons that you give i.e. film gate sizes can vary by a few mm. Granted that the metric system can be more convenient for scientific and engineering use, but the "Imperial" system, with variants actually in widespread use in many countries before the French Revolution, can be used to be just as 'accurate'. And it evolved for ease of human perception - think ... Inch -Thumb -Daumen - Pouce ... ;)
