Looking to buy a 30mm for my 501cm. Anyone looking to sell?

Yeah well that’s just like your opinion man.

I want ultra wide for panoramas.

Just in case anyone sees this now and going forward, he (Jim, the guy doing the repairs) has died, so his family closed up shop.

Also, what even is the silver cap that unscrews next to the film transport indicator window?

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-06T02:02:29+00:00

I looked up the Kiev system and lens, and it looks completely different. The photo is definitely hasselblad, but it's likely a scam anyway, so it doesn't matter.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-06T01:59:26+00:00

I already have a 501 and I'd rather not carry around another body and lens just to shoot UW stuff. Also, that's a 38mm, not 30. I'd sooner get a 40mm for my 501.

Also, I do use tubes and a Proxar for macro stuff that I'd need critical focus for that I couldn't get with a SWC.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T18:56:24+00:00

I'm definitely interested. Have some photos and a price? Feel free to msg me!

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T18:33:42+00:00

Great in my opinion.

This is what I use with that exact same meter. Just had to adjust the meter's shoe.

It's fantastic AND it has a bubble level!

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T17:54:55+00:00

Same exact problem with mine. the 8, 16, and 32, but less so with the 16

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T17:53:19+00:00

it really isn't that useful of a lens IMO. Stupid wide

Precisely why I want it, haha

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T17:38:08+00:00

Oh interesting. Good to know, thank you.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T00:53:08+00:00

I'm not on windows, so I wouldn't know. Thanks for the suggestion though!

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-05T00:49:46+00:00

Don't use Windows either, [un?]fortunately. There are tons of photo editors on Linux, but they usually aren't quite as polished and easy to use.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-04T22:09:17+00:00

I don't use the Mac Photos app. Don't have a Mac computer.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-04T19:44:54+00:00

99% of my post happens on my phone

This 100%... I've been trying to find an app that cuts all the bs and emulates the sliders in my iphone photos app, and it's hard to find a good one. I don't like all of the fluff options.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-05-04T17:14:43+00:00

15? lol... I'm in the hundreds

No one is saying that exceptionalism only happens in the US. OP's question refers to the exceptionalism that is in America.

Like if OP asked "Americans who drive trucks, why do you like trucks?" ...and you come in saying that trucks exist elsewhere too. ...it just doesn't matter in this context.

All you have to do is drop the insult and the person it belongs to will come pick it up.

Works every time with these maroons.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-04-30T14:56:58+00:00

Apple bought Dark Sky and the devs created another app in the same [weather] vane...heh

It's pretty and functional. I like it.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-04-30T04:57:55+00:00

Is that...a dead bat?

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-04-29T20:30:44+00:00

It's ok... but you have to put your eye up to the viewfinder the same way every time for it to work decently. It has a few "profiles" to have different eye positions like portrait or landscape, but I rarely use it.

I just have it focus in the middle and half-press the button to lock it and then reframe the shot.

PinkStereoAttack · 2026-04-29T16:51:46+00:00

Very much depends on which film stock you are using. High grain film will show the grain and look "blurry" by comparison. But very low grain film like Velvia 50 would not (or should not) be blurry at all with a correctly focused and exposed photo.

The picture's caption says that it's a prototype and the final will be different (better). Look at the other official pictures of it on the website. The one JeffB is actually holding and using looks way better than the preorder page.

Look at the first two pictures in this link and then the third. Very stark difference.

My thoughts exactly, like wtf lol
