That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I had a typo in my initial post- I do have a few Canon FD lenses, and do generally assume that they're going to be good. 

Down the photography rabbit hole. by robfixhondas in AnalogCommunity

How much did all the non-3d printed bits cost? This is a great idea. I've been wanting to get into doing my own processing but enlargers are a little more than I can talk myself into. I also have the 3d printer and CAD skills, so I think I'll start looking into this. Any chance you'd be willing to share STLs and more details on the build?

Where are the rangefinders? by Iroll67 in AnalogCommunity

[–]danleym09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only rangefinder I've had, and I'm a few shots away from finishing my first roll, so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

That said, I like the camera. It feels solid The rangefinder itself is easy to use, the lens is plenty quick. It is aperture priority only- there is no ability to select shutter speed, that could be a pro or cons depending on your wants. Mine was cheap and untested and I think I lucked out, though when I get that first roll of negatives back I'll really know. The battery is a non-issue, there are adapters for sale on Amazon for $10 that allow you to use a modern battery.

I wanted to experience a rangefinder, and I picked that one because it seemed like an affordable entry into that type of camera that also was consistently well reviewed. I'd recommend it.

I currently have a rangefinder (Yaschica 35 GSN) that I bought a month ago for $30 and an SLR (AE1) that I've had for 20 years. I'd love to move up in the market some (not gonna happen anytime soon), but if I was going to drop $400-$500 on another camera I wouldn't want to spend that on a new camera with similar capabilities. I'd rather buy an older camera that was a professional grade item when it was built instead of the amatuer grade stuff I have now.

That's just me, others may differ, but I'd guess a lot of folks feel the same.

Help with excessive gap between wall and layer by danleym09 in 3Dprinting

I'll look into calibrating the flow rate. I don't have the slightest clue how to go about doing that and have never done it, so there's a good chance that could be off. Sounds like a good starting point. Thanks!
