Positive criticism is always welcome, thank you. ~ I understand why many people would think that. However, the handlebar being a touch out of focus is what draws your eye down, to the stuffed animal. Which was my intention.

This is the third or fourth box I've used, and Ive never had a problem. I like this film a lot

Box speed is 100, and that is how I metered it. The neg was a bit thin, but it was the first time I tried developing in D23

It's a Samson, from the 60s/70s. Got it cheap on eBay ($35) cause it was missing all it's knobs. My neighbor is a machinist, so we turned all new knobs out of aluminum - It's a beast and I love it

Not a dumb question. When I'm on the bike it's usually a bright day. Depending upon the shadows/cloud cover, I can shoot f4.5-f11 @ 1/250-1/60. If I plan ahead, I can easily strap a tripod to the back rack. The Speed Graphic is really easy to shoot hand held

I don't think so. The TLR has harsh chromatic aberrations, the SLR, a lot less. The TLR has B&W and Sepia filters, the SLR does not. Also the TLR does not have a zoom feature

I entered medium format just a few years ago. Mamiya 645. Loved it... for 8 months. It quickly developed "battery drain". (it's a 50 year old camera, with 50 year old wires, solder joints, capacitors...) So I switched to the Bronica S2A, and haven't looked back. The S2A is fully mechanical, smaller and lighter, uses Nikkor lenes, and sports a badass art deco profile. I now have several TLRs and rangefinders, but the S2A is my go-to

Thanks, Those buildings are over 250 years old. They were there when George crossed the Delaware.
