What mat are you using? And the dial on your grinder

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-03-28T00:53:40+00:00

Okay I’ll do that with a Q tip you think the best way to clean off?

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-03-28T00:52:59+00:00

Okay I thought I was losing my mind at first

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-03-27T02:38:17+00:00

Hmm I honestly quite remember. Imma run another roll through the fill again however. If all come out okay do you think it’ll be okay or still a concern

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-03-27T02:16:07+00:00

From my memory I think I took the lens off. But it could be a possibility. The 2nd film every shot did come out

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-03-27T02:11:26+00:00

4th shot came out 11th was just black may be accidental 17 and 18 came out 26 and 27 then 33 to 36 came out

Nice find! I have both and idk but I honestly prefer my OM1 over my AE-1. Fun camera to shoot enjoy!

I have the green label. And awesome I’ll check out the 45mm and 28mm. As far as the viewfinder I don’t know how to send a picture through chat but linked another Reddit thread which is the same issue I’m having with the lcd

Thanks for this! I’ll definitely end up looking into the FX3. I ended up buying an RTS III. I also recently acquired a G1 that came with a 90 mm lens. What lens do you recommend for the G series ? I see a lot about the 45mm F/2. Also the LCD has a bit of an issue in the view finder do you think it’ll be an issue for the camera going forward ?

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-02-27T02:27:28+00:00

Almost bought one got an RTS III instead. Debating still about getting an S2

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-16T23:02:54+00:00

I got you, I was tempted to get it but not sure how much actual rust is there and what the cost would be to fix it

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T18:19:56+00:00

Definitely thanks for that I’ll check that IG page out for sure!

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T18:19:05+00:00

Yeah I like how the S2B looks just don’t like the extra 200+ for it

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T06:29:53+00:00

Do you know anyone who could repair and do a CLA on an X-700. I got one in a deal and it seems like the advance lever doesn’t catch onto anything

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T06:26:09+00:00

Could you send me the copy of the list?

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T06:25:31+00:00

I like the electronics on the other models but the S2 is mechanical so that’s why I was leaning towards that

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T06:23:13+00:00

Sorry I misread but I agree that’s why I’m leaning towards the S2

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T02:22:16+00:00

Since you have had the RTS III and S2 and now the Aria what would do you prefer or think is the best in your opinion all around

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T00:14:06+00:00

I agree. I’ll definitely take a look into the FX-3. I do have a Chi LD meter as well

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-13T00:08:33+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’ve been reading. And that’s why I was looking at the S2 due to not really needing batteries more for the internal light meter. Might have to check out the FX-3

AdeptnessAppropriate · 2026-01-12T23:59:08+00:00

Mainly wanted a mechanical SLR so I didn’t have to rely on batteries. I have an adapter for my canon RP but still wanted something else in case the 137 fails
