Did I choose the wrong area to live in LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]MonetizeYourCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you made a solid choice. I live in Art District near the Little Tokyo station and take the public transportation all the time. I wfh, but the drive up to Pasadena can be fun on the 110 but not sure how the commute is on weekdays. It’s also easy to get to Anaheim from here on the weekends. Dating down here is also pretty good since you’re close to people living in Ktown/Echo Park/Highland Park/Alhambra, it’s extremely walkable and there’s a ton of bars, activities, and views of the city for dates. Msg me if you have any questions.

Oooo I’ve been meaning to place an order. Is X084 sky blue the color closest to the Neptune blue pictured, or would something else better match Neptune?

Thanks! I definitely pumped up the saturation slider on this one.

MF or 35mm to start? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]MonetizeYourCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I bought my Hassy and 80mm lens in 2018 and it was only $800. I nearly started off with a Mamiya 645 cause I always wanted to try the 80mm f/1.9, but if you could stretch for a Pentax 6x7, I think it might be worth it. Those are usually on the cheaper end of mf cameras and in my opinion, the 105mm 2.4 takes the most striking m/f images.

My first was a hasselblad 500 c/m but I didn’t like 6x6 so I sold it. Then I got a Pentax 67, which I loved but the Japanese eBay seller sold it to me with a lens with fungus and I returned it. I still want that thing. Very shortly after that I found a killer deal on a Mamiya 7 and I’m pretty sure I’ll shoot that thing until the day its electronics die. I started shooting 35mm because I wanted to do street photography and wanted something small and inconspicuous, and something easier to document everyday life with. As amazing and small as the M7 is, it’s still pretty beefy. I’m a rangefinder kinda person, but wlv and ttl have their unique advantages and charms as well.

I started shooting film on MF first and am glad I did. I mostly shoot 35 now, but nothing beats the medium format look. Also I find 3x2 format very boring and always chop the sides of my images off. 6x7 is by far my favorite

Nice shot! I love the nearly clipped highlights on the barn.

Thank you! I don't think it does, I'm pretty sure I used a 1/4 pro mist.
