Hey guys,
Can I get a recommendation for a loupe and dark cloth? I was out last night with my Sinar (finally!) and had a great old time with it. I'm just using a black tshirt which is sufficing but it's not incredibly dark under there! Also focusing was mostly fine although I think I definitely need a loupe so any recommendations for one of those would be appreciated.
It was pretty interesting taking out the camera for the first time, I had a number of people approach me and ask questions about the camera. People seemed intrigued about the bellows and said it looked like one of those "old school cameras". Personally, I think the Sinar F2 looks pretty futuristic and quite modern, despite the bellows! But I was getting attention the likes of which I never got with my old DSLR
Got a couple of shots back from the lab today, I'm going to scan them in later and will get them online for all to see. Am very, very pleased with the results. The subject matter isn't that interesting and the composition leaves a little to be desired. Aside from that, they look sharp, the colour from Velvia 100 is fab but most importantly the exposure is close to spot on, if just a touch dark.
Love this large format lark!
