Cone Portraits

[Alex S]

Cliff, the clue to that cone and butt arrangement is in the bike.

Cheers for the invite Cliff

Was that the Bronica?

 

[Paulicus]

Was that the Bronica?

Yeah, it was from the roll just before I tackled the focusing screen foam!
I'll have to wait until my films come back, before I can see whether I've cured my focussing issues since my little bit DIY

Bronica S2A 80mm 2.4 Zenzanon, Fuji Neopan 400 120

Run out of concrete bollards? No problem, just use a cannon instead.

 

[cliffpatte]

That is classy Cesare. Sorry it took me so long to look

Moorgate, Nikon D3X and some vignetting from using the 50mm F1.2 lens wide open at 1/8000th of a second

[Cesare]

Nice cliff, got a very tranny feel to it. But a 'blad? My you have been on a camera frenzy!

Cesare

 

[cliffpatte]

Thanks Cesare. I did sell 2 to buy 1.

 

[Patrick Dixon]

Hasselblad - very smart. When are you moving up to a Rolleiflex then?

 

[guybat]

Glad to see you've bought a proper camera at last Cliff

 

[cliffpatte]

Rolleiflexes have too many lenses for my taste, but thanks for the comments Patrick and Guy.

 

[Cesare]

Hasselblad - very smart. When are you moving up to a Rolleiflex then?

Patrick, I still think you are trying to buy them all up. What percentage of the total Rollei production run do you now own?

Cliff,

Hope you kept the FM3a in the camera shuffle.

[Patrick Dixon]

Cliff, I thought you were a man who could never have too many lenses? (A TLR is just a rangefinder with a better viewer).

Cesare, still just four. A different four to the four I had before ...

 

[cliffpatte]

Cliff,

Hope you kept the FM3a in the camera shuffle.

Joe

Yup, I still need something that'll take photos in the Market Porter on ISO400 film ;-)

The casualties were a fuji rangefinder and a leica CL (the latter being a pain to use)

Fair point. Did Rollei not ever make a proper wysiwyg SLR then?

I am tempted to swap my fuji 645i rangefinder for something, but more than likely it will be a newer fuji folding rangefinder. The idea is consolidation, total number reduction and quality improvement, so not ruling anything out, yet ....
