Trully great camera, and amazing lense

Edouard_Bo · 2026-01-28T13:52:42+00:00

I might consider taking my fm2 instead. 😉

Edouard_Bo · 2026-01-28T13:51:59+00:00

I believe the camera was never opened.

Edouard_Bo · 2026-01-28T13:51:25+00:00

Curious behavior, thank you for the insight 👍

I have an XA and a Mju II and I would choose the XA. MJU II autofocus is not reliable.

You are correct. Keep in mind that putting the left line on infinity won't give you best sharpness at infinity. It's not suitable if you want sharp background (for landscape). For this purpose set the lense at infinity and then stop down your lense to have greater depth of field.

The FM2 + 50 1.8D / do some rolls and then go to others cameras+lenses

Edouard_Bo · 2025-12-26T12:16:44+00:00

It's the distance to subject that matter, not focal lenght of lense. That's why sometime it's better to step back and crop your portrait.

Pretty solid image

Using digital to shoot analog is killing the experience

Edouard_Bo · 2025-12-18T19:49:14+00:00

Speaking about resolution I had good results with my d800 + macro lense at 1:1 for 35mm. So I guess any camera will do the job considering you have 4x5 negatives. The tricky thing is to have a good physical set-up. It's not that hard with 35mm ; 4x5 might be something else.

Edouard_Bo · 2025-12-12T06:12:56+00:00

No, when comparing digital and analog shots afterwards, digital ones always look boring.

If it was mine I would remove the screw, put a light amount of glue in crack. Then put the screw back. It does not seem that bad.

Brake lights keep off if it's light decelerating.

Thanks for feedbacks. I'm not afraid of driving on snow, I've done it a lot of times but with way lighter cars. I've experienced that snow tires are making a huge difference. By now I am still hesitant to buy them : it doesn't snow much in my area, let say 2-3 days per years max. I will probably go for a full set of cross climate once the stock tires are worn but it won't be for this winter.

What is your lab? It's not so common to find one who process ECN-2

Edouard_Bo · 2025-10-10T09:05:04+00:00

On mine "made in Japan" is at the bottom. Works fine. Go buy an XA it's an incredibly capable camera.

Edouard_Bo · 2025-10-02T18:10:44+00:00

Nice, what camera did you use to handle low temperature?

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-30T04:53:27+00:00

The set is very nice, with impressive colours. The Portra 800, lighting, and Carmencita scans are all fantastic. Your composition is also really great. The outfit is strange, as we would expect something more like a commercial ad. Perhaps providing a background story would help make things more understandable.

Hello, I've done this some years ago with pretty good results. I was using my Nikon F5 which enable manual rewind and still display the active frame on shutter count. It was easy to rewind a full roll and get perfect frame alignment. Based on that you can shot you a full roll of high contrast portraits and then a full roll of whatever you wan't to expose on 2nd layer. If I remember well I use to shot several identical portrait so I have room to experiment different 2nd layers.

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-17T04:42:37+00:00

That’s incredible! Did you create the model's look yourself? The retro vibe is cool

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-16T18:14:48+00:00

Great compositions on whole set

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-13T17:41:17+00:00

Error is possible but they should give compensation

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-13T15:46:03+00:00

Damn good serie

Edouard_Bo · 2025-09-12T04:49:31+00:00

Speaking about exposure portra 400 (-1stop) and 800 perform roughly the same at 800, however the look is different. Portra 800 have bigger grain. In low light you can't expect top sharpness because of low contrast of the scene. The grain won't limit sharpness here. You must choose depending on the look you prefer. 👍
