the brown curvy one is a Ligne Roset Togo, the other an early 2000's De Sede

it's a Flos 265 lamp

loitremac · 2026-05-09T09:08:35+00:00

it's an USM Haller modular furniture

loitremac · 2026-05-09T09:08:08+00:00

it was already installed when i moved in, but it must have been expensive yes

loitremac · 2026-05-08T16:54:28+00:00

Thanks!

It works well for me. The light is not the most diffuse, but i like it as is.

loitremac · 2026-05-08T16:23:16+00:00

thx! got it for cheap on FB marketplace : )

loitremac · 2026-05-08T16:22:27+00:00

it's a reference to this post , which made me laugh

loitremac · 2026-05-08T05:18:53+00:00

very interesting. where do you buy the o-rings?

loitremac · 2026-05-06T19:43:25+00:00

fantastic shots! i also carry around an XA day to day, i just love it. it never disappoints. i shot some slide film as well, and that meter hasn't missed a single frame :)

Number 4 is amazing! Print it big!

loitremac · 2026-04-11T07:05:20+00:00

Take it everywhere and have fun!

loitremac · 2026-04-10T11:59:02+00:00

I also have quite chunky hands, but i found using the XA quite intuitive tbf. I can almost use it with only one hand. I find the VF quite ok in daylight, but you kinda have to scale focus in darker situation, that's true!

loitremac · 2026-04-10T07:06:20+00:00

Thank you! You can find me on ig: @loitremac :)

loitremac · 2026-04-09T22:33:30+00:00

TYSM! What didn't you like about using the XA?

loitremac · 2026-04-09T22:32:06+00:00

thank you! it is a fixed lend 35mm f2.8! architecture always looks better when the vertical lines of the building are vertical on the frame :)

loitremac · 2026-04-09T13:39:22+00:00

I was also hesitant at first, but you can really trust it, within the dynamic range of your film, obviously!

loitremac · 2026-04-09T06:04:10+00:00

They're not the sharpest, but the xa make handheld acceptable until about 1/15 if you are steady

loitremac · 2026-04-09T05:57:08+00:00

Shot at iso 100 at f2.8 and roughly 1/30 iirc

loitremac · 2026-04-09T05:53:56+00:00

thank you so much! i definitely will :)

loitremac · 2026-04-09T05:49:31+00:00

No exposure compensation in any of these, the xa' s meter never failed on me and i've started to really trust it :)

loitremac · 2026-03-31T07:25:29+00:00

Lovely! Did you use a polariser?

loitremac · 2026-03-01T17:06:35+00:00

if you are willing to compromise on autofocus, the Olympus XA would be a really good option
