interesting. Most of my pieces are tan (well..I'm very colorblind, so they might be green...) But these two pieces are battleship grey, and smooth,...

OK, I just tried C41 Lab. It works pretty well, though I personally find the command prompt interface very painful to use. Comparing the results to...

Definitely not "unbearable" for carrying it over short distances. Once owned one and I would use it up to a few hundred feet from my VW Beetle....

Regarding whether or not the weight is bearable in the field, perhaps owners of the Calumet C-1 could contribute an opinion. The magnesium version...

I've done some enlarging tests with G-Clarons. They're decent at that, but not fantastic. But at only about 4X that you're contemplating, it...

I look forward to seeing what you shoot Randy! Thanks Jon! I have an amazing skill, when it comes to cameras/lenses. If I get it in my head there...

Recent posts are really interesting. Congrats to all. Here's a nice 1927 AJS motorcycle from the Wisconsin "shed." R6 N1 AJS LFF by John Olsen,...

I’ve always wondered about that. I have some Norma standards with the focus locks and some without. I like having them there and was wondering if...

Exactly -- it can be miserable, but we still enjoy it. As a climber put it..."No one climbs Everest for fun."

Very impressive. Congratulations on the camera.
