Camera Talk

That worked out well for you!

Robert

Maybe a tiny bit over-over, as you say, but it's hard to tell without looking for the clues! I'd say you came out well from the gamble!

Always like a dramatic sunset.

Two of a different sort:

I really like these, strong graphical presence and fun composition. Thanks for sharing them with us! Also appreciating the title, and wondering if there was ever a "Vicar" camera. Seems not, although it appears there might have been a camera store called "Vicar Camera" in Chevy C...

What a nice outing with M, and well captured! Seems like you've about got it with that little guy.

And that's a fun part of the world to thrift in, must have been fun.

The results speak for themselves -- seems like a good setup. I have a couple cameras with that kind of release and I always struggle with them. I think there's a bit of finesse and muscle memory that you need to work up to oppose the movement of the camera when pressing the shutter lever. I haven't ...

Awesome!

And I have found that there's no such frickin thing as muscle memory with this stuff. You have to check down the list *every* ********* *time*. Or else. I've experienced all the mistakes at this point and any time I have the hubris to think I can just motor through I get bit again. Argh.

Fascinating, fantastic read!

Next step, a kickstarter campaign for a home film-coating lab-in-a-box ? (Just joking!!!)

Ha ha, well, if I wanted Yet Another Failed Kickstarter (YAFK), I now know a great way to achieve it!

Scott, just a side note: I missed the PM flag at the top until this morning. I've provided some answers there now. Sorry for the delay.
