I think other than the labeling they are the exact same camera
QuoteI think other than the labeling they are the exact same cameraYes, i'm pretty sure it's the same camera. Side by side they're exactly the same. Voigtlander sounds much cooler, however.Gotta love the 'light meter' ! but you know, for all it's simplicity, it works pretty well hey?Thanks for the offer on the 4x5 film, but i don't have one of those monsters. What do you use yours for? Those things take supreme patience and skill! The largest i have is a 6x9 Fujinon rangefinder which is smaller than your massive 4x5, as it's in metric. Funny how that goes back and forth. It's one of the bigger hunks of film you can hold in your hand. I used it for aerial stuff years ago... a bit of a one-trick pony camera but it does that trick exceptionally well.Ken Rockwell doesn't like 100F? Oh well then, i better sell off the last of my stuff in the freezer ASAP! eheheh I would have thought he'd be into velvia, since he jacks the contrast and colours of his shots so much. He'd be half-way there if he shot velvia!For portraits, sure, velvia makes people look like extra-sharp tomatoes. But for landscapes, man! Look at the detail in your lighthouse shot - and the colours - punchy but not overboard. The stuff is magic. I found the 100f to be about 100, but the old 50ASA was more like a 40. It seemed to like the 1/4 - 1/3 overexposure. Not sure if you found that too.Scanning slides is a soul-destroying task. Good luck with it /A
I almost bought one of those Fuji's awhile back. Looked like a poor man's Mamyia 7 to me. How do you like it?
what is film?
Digital doesn't have the latitude of a number of B+W films
I'm interested in doing the wet darkroom thing now just for old times sake.
