Good to see you are shooting film...doing your own dark room work as well? Did you use ISO 400 or a higher value and developed the film accordingly?

[pat_ernzen]

Shot it at 400 and just took it down the street to have it developed. Want to get into my own processing/developing, though. This camera makes things tough at times. Old and in pretty bad shape, lens is stuck wide open, Pellix system requires slower shutter speeds, manual focus only(obviously), iffy/slow light meter, etc. But that's why I like it. It's everything a modern digital camera isn't.

yep, this is making pictures with a camera:). But I think compared to the Prakticas that I first used this might be an even more simple but yet more challenging tool.

Manual focus SLR cameras are indeed lots of fun.

IB4R what do you call those foxes again?

IB4R what do you call those foxes again?

Red pandas maybe?

[Kitdy]

Red pandas maybe?

Damn it, it isn't even a fox.

Those are cuteass pandas - they have them at the zoo here.

Yeah, they are pretty cute. They're supposed to be distant relatives of giant pandas though.

I see rabbits and chipmunks quite often at my campus. They're pretty cute too.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Correct on Red Panda, but the Chinese characterisation of their name derives to "Fire Fox"

the more you know, people.
