Re: B&J Watson Portrait cam - first outing, Hay Creek, and a problem…

Yeah, it's not hard to get out of rhythm after not doing something for a while. Every time I go out now to take photos I'll mess something up.

Re: Aaaand... First roll from the Retina II

They are great little cameras, Scott. I actually preferred using my IIa over the III series.

Re: Back to film, testing the Vivitar 500 mirror lens

Congratulations on retirement, Julio! Sorry I wasn't around when you posted this.

I've got a 500 mirror, and a very pristine 50-300 that need to be exercised sometime in the future, once I get the other stuff cleared out.

Re: Pretending to be an XPan

I've got an adapter for using 35mm film in my GW690, just don't know where it is right now. It didn't come with spool adapters, so I need to get those separately. I like what you've done with the developer on the Delta 100.
