emulating XPAN highlighted why some people fall out of love with their Fuji TX's/Hasselblad Xpan's without the cost, the frame is pretty hard to compose for day-to-day, you MUST to be at the right locations.

First outing with the Leica IIIf I repaired myself 💪also first time shooting Ferrania films!
80 ISO put me off for a while but I kept seeing/hearing how good the film is.
Shame they're in constant financial purgatory.

some 35mm shots from a photowalk with Photodom NYC last weekend, Mamiya did the most heavy lifting especially after I realized my Nikon F80's film door latch had cracked...

A #harmanphoenix2 stress test in a fully automatic point and shoot. This is a HUGE improvement over Pheonix 1, but like Phoenix 1 it needs to be shot at a lower ISO than advertised.

woke up to a Dune sunrise.

which do you prefer??
Im most suprised how much bloom there is from the Sony despite stopping down to f/11 whereas the Nikon was shot wide open on a relatively ancient lens.
