Love the weeds and the other one without them.

Here's my kid having breakfast.

A while back a friend of mine gave me this weird little camera that belonged to his father. I put it in a drawer thinking it didn't work until I took it out last week and found it needed new batteries. It's a Pentax PC35AF, the auto focus mechanism is super weird.
Home developed in the C41 Tetenal kit.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words about my windows shots!

Something a little different from me.....

Wow, how very unexpected and how very erotic.

A grab shot?

It certainly looks un-staged, which to me, intensifies and strengthens its impact.

Perhaps the most "real" image I've seen for quite some time.

I've never had an MX. Lot of people like it. I did some shots of my Spotmatic F too. I don't remember when I picked up that f1.2 but it had to be 20 years ago. I also have a SMC A* 300mm f4. A pretty compact 300mm to say the least. Here is a shot with that ME Super SE and 50mm f1.2 using Panatomic-X.

Cool cat shot!

As for the MX, I have an MX and an LX. Don't tell my LX, but I think I actually enjoy shooting with the MX more. It's a great little camera with one of the best viewfinders around. The whole thing just feels right. It's small, but not fidgity. If I wanted another manual k mount body I'd be looking for another one.

One more from the XA... finally catching up to photos from where I actually live now!

Thanks. A right place; right time shot. The Super SE has a diagonal split plus micro prism focus viewfinder. Very bright with that f1.2 on it and amazing how modern cameras don't even come close to the quality of viewfinders these days. But I guess they don't need to with their automagic features.

Sooo, FF *does* make a huge difference from a crop body.
Especially with this lens, on my FF bodies, I want to say EVERYTHING blooms/glows/halos at f1.2
I have deliberately not used either of my FF bodies, using just the FujiFilm X-E1.
I like it.
FINALLY, got a "dreamy" style rendering from the below combination.
FujiFilm X-E1 and Minolta MC Rokkor-X 58/1.2, 12mm Kenko tube :

Three shots from my trip down the Oregon Coast on two different medium format cameras. I love the abstract-ness of them for different reasons. Soon to be printed and hung in my home.
