Five weeks with the Nikon Z f
I bought the Nikon Z f thinking it would replace my Leica SL2, since the Nikon is lighter, newer, cheaper, and faster. While it is all of those things, it's still not better. Here's what I like about the Z f: * The design is just the

Keeping the Leica SL2, for now
When I bought the Nikon Z f recently, the way I intended to offset the cost was to sell the Leica SL2. The mistake I made was to buy the Nikon before selling the Leica. Yesterday, I gathered up the SL2 with accessories and took some photos of it for

Mundane film vs digital photos
The other day, while bored, I shuffled around the house and burned through a roll of film, just for something to do. I took photos of random stuff that I use or see every day. The photos were boring af but, for some reason, because they're film I

Giving people GAS
Heh, Dave noticed that I bought a new camera and now he's thinking about new cameras. A friend of mine told me once that whenever I mentioned wanting something three times, he knew that I'd end up buying it. It's true. I've

The Nikon Zf
In a desperate attempt to spark some enthusiasm for photography, I bought a Nikon Zf. I know, this is not the best approach, but it's what I did so here we are. I'm jotting down a few quick thoughts and first impressions. (This isn't

Roll 195 (Hasselblad 500C/M)
Sometimes I just need to blow through a roll when I'm bored. This is from the Hasselblad 500C/M and 80mm Planar on HP5 developed with HC-110(b). Thankfully, Alice was handy. These were all handheld at 1/30th, which is a terrible idea. The one of me

Here are a few images from the first roll I ran through the Olympus OM-2n after having it overhauled by John Hermanson. The camera feels very good.

Returning the Nikon FE2
I recently purchased a nice Nikon FE2 from KEH.com. It wasn't expensive, and after using the FM2n for a bit, I wanted to try something like it, but with automatic exposure. The camera is lovely. I've put one roll of film through it. As expected,

Roll-185 (Canon AE-1 Program HP5)
The Canon AE-1 Program was my first real camera. Unfortunately, I no longer own that original from 1982, so I bought another one in 2013. It's not a great camera, but it works. I like to put a roll through it now and then.

Roll-184 (Leica MP/HP5)
I spent the morning of the election with my daughter and grandson. It was a nice way to spend part of an otherwise anxiety-filled day.
