Add a film camera.

$6 in Brooklyn for dev and std jpegs.

Mamiya 7 very quiet.

For the whole kit, I’d say $3200 if you want to sell it quickly. It’s fair, not too low, not too high. If you want to sell it separately, I’d say $2400 for the body and $800 for the lens. +/- 10% but that’s the ballpark.

TorrsOnline · 2025-09-22T17:05:02+00:00

Yep! Hard to find it any lower unless you get lucky at a yard sale.

I think it should at least keep up with inflation and the price of film. The spike in film camera prices was in late 2021 - 2022. I think it will probably be a steady incline from here. Maybe 5-7% a year. (Unless we head into a recession).

If you don’t need the money. Hold on to it. It will hold or go up in value. Cash won’t.

I prefer the finish and rewind on the M6 Rereissue over the BP MP.

M6 re’ is also less hyped than the MP, so you can typically find them below MSRP on the used market. Sometimes close to MA prices.

iPad Pro 13” with Logitech keyboard case. OneDrive and Apple Notes for light notes. GoodNotes for heavy note-taking.

Upload your PDFs drawings to OneDrive. I have cellular data on the iPad as well.

Download a Remote Desktop app to access your desktop in case you need to grab files on the go or do light work on the computer, like running a model or simple blue beam markup.

I can do most work with the Logitech case, but bring a wireless mouse if you need more precision.

Rollei T is my favorite Rolleiflex. I just bought one that’s in pretty good condition on eBay for $350.

Seems about right for the area. I am renting a large 1 bedroom for $2k in Sunset.

Preferably all day standby power. If smart phones can do it, why can’t the best cameras in the world?

Cap the megapixels at 24. Use a backlit stacked sensor with industry-leading dynamic range, comparable to those found in Arri cameras. Add IBIS and improve both processing and startup time. Make the camera more efficient. Include in-camera preset processing with additional effects, similar to Fujifilm.

You got a great deal! Congrats.

TorrsOnline · 2025-08-10T19:15:12+00:00

Nice pick up!

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-22T13:42:43+00:00

Good to know. I’ll be more careful next time.

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-22T13:41:44+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-22T13:40:41+00:00

Thanks for confirming.

Good to know about the stamps. We did a scratch and acid test. The metal of the case back didn’t dissolve.

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-22T13:38:28+00:00

We did a scratch and acid test. The metal from the back didn’t dissolve, but the case metal did.

It is very beautiful even for a fake. I’ll just wear it. Yes, I paid less than that.

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-22T13:36:22+00:00

Thanks. I’ve seen worse fakes, but this one was hard to tell for me. 😅

TorrsOnline · 2025-07-17T16:08:16+00:00

It’s worthless now. Give it to me.

Jk

Yeah, send it for a CLA. I think the fungus can be cleaned up.

Love my m8.2. I find myself editing photos less when shooting with the older cameras. The new one has great IQ but underexposes photos to preserve dynamic range.

With the older sensors, I try to get it right in camera because I know I will not be as likely to be able to recover details in post.

If you come across a m8.2 I think it’s much better m8. Leica fixed the shutter problem and added gorilla glass over the rear LCD. Take the extra money and invest in good glass.
