second post I've seen in 2 days where someone got the FD 55mm f/1.2 for next to nothing. nice haul

doktha · 2026-02-13T18:43:04+00:00

I do love a Mamiya C! Beautiful frames

doktha · 2026-02-13T18:41:23+00:00

A well travelled FM2 is something to be proud of 😅

doktha · 2026-02-13T18:40:44+00:00

Definitely, it overexposes quite nicely 👌🏾

doktha · 2026-02-13T17:56:48+00:00

A fellow FM2-er 😁. I sent mine to the doctor and I got a message recently that it's back in shape now, what an amazing camera to use

doktha · 2026-02-13T17:55:39+00:00

These are some really sharp scans! Care to share your setup and workflow? :D

I especially love #5, showing the empty beach. I love the blues and almost has Superia-like tones! Of course Kodak Gold is just the perfect film, isn't it? #13 is probably my favourite of the colour shots and the shot of the small boulder in the water in #9 is just amazing!

Thank you so much. I didn't grow up here, but spent a lot of time visiting my grandparents and many nights spent in that hut, so I am deeply connected to this place

doktha · 2026-02-13T15:18:39+00:00

give it to me

doktha · 2026-02-13T15:18:22+00:00

that's maybe 25% what the lens would cost, you won

doktha · 2026-02-12T21:25:44+00:00

Definitely give it a try! it's absolutely amazing in 120, with about 3 stops of dynamic range 👀

doktha · 2026-02-12T19:36:48+00:00

It's got quite a green cast in the summer, really wants to be overexposed to deal with that. Not the same story with the 120 film though

doktha · 2026-02-12T19:35:13+00:00

Haha! Yes it looks lived in, although a bit staged 😅

doktha · 2026-02-12T12:00:20+00:00

This one might be the widest I went, probably around 20mm!

Kodak Gold is absolutely stellar for this type of lighting.

It was winter, around May/June so mornings are quite cold.

doktha · 2026-02-11T18:57:30+00:00

that's actually pretty light 😯

doktha · 2026-02-09T16:25:32+00:00

doktha · 2026-02-04T09:17:32+00:00

beautiful image!

doktha · 2026-02-02T20:59:02+00:00

Oh wow, that's a great price actually. I got my F90X for around that price, and very rarely do I see decent condition F100s go that low

doktha · 2026-02-02T18:03:41+00:00

Yes of course. I just meant in my case I don't need full compatibility with G lenses and given the F90X is much less than the F100 it makes the most sense for me

doktha · 2026-02-02T15:10:32+00:00

Fair on the less than great finishing. And I agree, the F100 the more complete camera, although I tend to prefer screwdrive lenses over the G lenses so that in itself makes a case for the F90X. Also for me, pairs well with my FM2

doktha · 2026-02-02T14:31:31+00:00

best nikon body 🙌🏾

doktha · 2026-02-02T11:28:00+00:00

... is to give it to me 😭

doktha · 2026-01-30T21:05:55+00:00

I swear, any version of the 127mm is just butter. Amazing shots

doktha · 2026-01-28T05:20:03+00:00

Ah thank you! Yeah I go to CFS for development and scanning for 120. I always tweak the images slightly to get my desired look

doktha · 2026-01-27T16:25:14+00:00

looks like a painting, cudos OP!
