I got a used Fuji Klasse W from KEH, but I'm returning it. More dinged-up than expected and too heavy to pocket. Stick with my Olympus Stylus Epic/mju ii unless I run across a Ricoh GR1S or 1V on the cheap.

I placed an order for film yesterday and was kinda shocked at the limited range of color negative films out there now. basically, fuji and kodak both have one pro, one consumer version and that's it.
I've just started buying all the Superia 400 at Wal-Mart. The latest price increases put Portra 400 out of range for me when you include shipping.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
yeah portra is just too expensive to use that often. kodak and fuji consumer stuff is the way to go, and can look really nice if you work with it. I know for b&w, at adorama they sell 3-packs of Ilford HP5 for just under $10. probably pretty cost effective to order that stuff online.DAYO WHAT CAMERA DID YOU BUY???

I did go to a yard sale today, bought a nimslo 3d and an olympus stylus (the original 35/3.5 one, not the newer epic)

is that the mju-i? i have that, now, having bought an mju-ii on ebay & got burned by the seller. i googled around, i think it's pretty similar just with occasionally less reliable AF.

Electric Light Orchestra Telephone Line Lyrics Send "Telephone Line" Ringtone to your CellSongwriters: LYNNE, JEFFHello--how are youHave you been alright, through all those lonely nights,That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,If you'd pick up that telephone.
Hey--how you feelinAre you still the sameDon't you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,I just can't believeThey've all faded out of view.
I look into the sky(the love you need aint gonna see you through.)And I wonder why(the little things are finally coming true.)
ChorusTelephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilightTelephone line, give me some time, Im living in twilight
O.k. so no--ones answering,Well can't you just let it ring a little longerIll just sit tight, through the shadows of the nightLet it ring for evermore.
Chorus -- repeat[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/electric+light+orchestra/telephone+line_20045339.html ]

On a plane to California and I've got a blacked out viewfinder on my M2!
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
i have no experience of leicas but can you just remove the lens & check the mirror hasn't snapped up/down, that the lil shelves aren't just sticky? (i don't even know if leicas use mirrored lenses but this works for my om-1).
― , Blogger (schlump), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
No mirrors in a rangefinder. Probably the old glue in the rangefinder mechanism has finally given way. Already sent an email to Youxin Ye inquiring about a repair.
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 17:03 (eleven years ago) link
so my ("my") cron 50 has never been able to open all the way to f2, the aperture ring just stops at f2.8. having that extra stop sure would be useful, but I'm not sure how much it would cost to repair. anyone done this before? how much is a body CLA anyway?
― catbus otm (gbx), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 17:11 (eleven years ago) link
Already got my estimate back. $150 for CLA, $160 for fix, and $20 to finally shave my 35mm lens to bring up the right framelines. Going for it as soon as I'm able.Paid $8 for airplane wifi for all this! Can't get it fixed soon enough!
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
Regarding the 50mm summicron, maybe just see what Youxin Ye quotes? He responded super fast to my email.

what a bummer -- did you take any other cameras on your trip??
and more importantly - did you get a window seat so you could take a window photo before it broke???>???

while we're talking mail order, who is good for bulk development?
― catbus otm (gbx), Wednesday, 8 August 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
dunno about bulk development
google 'dave's camera repair' to get the number of the dude in michigan if you're interested - calling him is the quickest I think
