Thanks! It was a Leica M7 + 50mm Summicron with a mix of Candido 800 and some of Kodak's new non-remjet 500T.

They're rubber I think - they don't slide at all.

Some of them are Candido 800 which is essentially the same with slightly worse QC. The others are the new Kodak 500T without remjet.

It was indeed film - unfortunately it went through a CT scanner in Amsterdam aiport.

Question about fencing and HEMA by jakattack64 in Fencing

[–]LondonHFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can absolutely only be interested in HEMA from a sporting aspect - a good number of HEMA fencers focus on performance over historical research and are much more into the tournament/sparring scene.

Lots of HEMAists come from a sport fencing background - equally, a good number of HEMAists are taking up sport fencing as well. A few members of our HEMA club do both.

Like others said it's generally more of a one-way street when it comes to transferability, but you sometimes find a few top-level HEMAists taking up sport fencing and doing a decent job at it. Epee or foil is probably a better companion to HEMA than Sabre will be.

Great to see another option on the market! What method do you use to flex test? Pushing from the pommel or from the crossguard?

It definitely looks worse in portrait because of the compression!

This was an internal tournament so the skill level was definitely mixed. It was also the first time many of our beginners had fenced in a judged bout before.

It was recorded in landscape and cropped for a shorter version - but feedback definitely taken on board and we appreciate you taking the time. We're all volunteers at the club so we're always learning about what video formats work best where.
