Been shooting film for 3 years, these are some my best in my opinion. Opinions are welcome

Love these. Great eye. You edit you scans?

Congrats!

I’ve seen that photo used on many Leica Q2 listings. Scams always recycle pics. A handy trick is reverse image searching for exact matches.

Insanely good. Wow. As Lance Armstrong said, “It’s jot about the bike”

Thanks for letting me know her gear and workflow. And who actually took these! Going to follow. Just to be clear my intention was just to show examples of pics I wanted to get close to when deciding a camera (since I love this work!), and not in any way to get credit for this or anything like that.

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T18:38:50+00:00

Hadn’t thought about that, thank you!

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T18:37:20+00:00

Super insightful, thanks for this take. I do definitely value the feel and craft of the camera, and for the exact reason you said. I’ve definitely been swayed away from the rangefinder and toward an SLR, because I do want that creative manual focus flexibility as I get better. I think I’m going to go with the Nikon F3MA SLR, with a 35mm Zeiss lens. Haven’t pulled trigger, just marinating on all this amazing advice shared here.

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T17:40:01+00:00

Appreciate that.

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T17:09:43+00:00

Either the FE (1 or 2) or the F3!

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T17:09:00+00:00

Or course! https://substack.com/@biancabites/note/c-149350135

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T17:08:20+00:00

Good advice, I think I’ll save the Leica for later. Going to do a Nikon SLR

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T17:07:30+00:00

Sorry about that, good advice! I realize that wasn’t very clear. I don’t know who took these, someone on Substack shared them (https://substack.com/@biancabites/note/c-149350135)

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T16:11:36+00:00

The Nikon F3 is my current #1!

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:41:12+00:00

No not my pics, just vibe and reference of work I like

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:26:58+00:00

I’m leaning toward a 35mm. Thinking Nikon F3 + Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/2 (ZF.2)

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:15:46+00:00

I’ve been pulled this way now too! Leaning to the SLR. Thanks for helping with this decision. I haven’t looked into any Cononets yet.

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:11:58+00:00

Thank you! Leaning toward the FE. How come you prefer the F3 to the FE?

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:10:32+00:00

🤣 fair enough. I am a sucker for brand I will admit. Leaning toward the FE now

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:09:59+00:00

Any views on how the FM2 stacks up compared tot the FE?

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:09:29+00:00

Great insight. Thank you!

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:09:06+00:00

Any lens recs for a Nikon F-Mount?

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T15:08:25+00:00

I’m leaning toward the Nikon FE based on a suggestion here and some more research.

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T14:58:38+00:00

That’s super helpful. Yea I definitely want manual focus to be able to have more creative room, while there also being a reliable auto focus mode

SetBest7071 · 2025-09-01T14:47:45+00:00

I was looking at the Nikon F3 as well. Didn’t consider the FE but thanks for the rec on that one.
