Very good! I'm assuming that most of the parts and layout of the GA645i are the same as the GA645 given that it seems to be more of an iterative design rather than a total redesign. I'll definitely give it a good look over though, cheers for forwarding that on :)

Facebook Marketplace special, managed to get it for £250 due to the bit of lens thread damage and a few minor small dings around the plastic! It's not exactly the £5 at a charity shop, but as far as I'm concerned this is a total bargain.

Hi all, I picked up a Fuji GA645 today, a Facebook marketplace special! Needless to say, there's a couple of 'preloved' marks on it, but most notably on the filter ring threads. I'm looking to get it to be in as good usable condition as I can for myself going forward, but in order to do that, I...

Sounds fine, you can use the shots for personal promo stuff, so that's fine. Who really are you going to sell the photos to anyway, other than cast members/immediate audience? They just want some cheap promo shots, you guys want to have fun/experience. Seems there is no conflict of interest...

I have one and it makes going through a lot of film a total breeze. Not to mention the chemical yields are much better using one of these. I have probably saved about 30% of the chems I would have used over both B&W and C41 processing by using my Jobo. Get it!

"640K ought to be enough for anybody"... who was it that said that again?

Aha 34! That's it, I don't think I can get better than that!

30 with no errors, on a display that needs calibrating, but is a pretty good display :)

Should be fine! Get yourself a decent 35mm cam like a trip 35 on the cheap and see what you can get out of them! Development can be costly, but if you can find someone who'll do it at home with scanning (if you're in the area of an enthusiast whose willing!) then it's a cheap good entry point...

The canon 8-15 is a formidable beast, and it's one that I tried and know I will purchase one day.

I think that the streaks on the side might be caught from where I was lighting the side of the monument and may have caught some odd internal reflection. Thanks Chris, I'm leaning towards that one too. Also I should have clarified about the film. It's Fujifilm Natura 1600, which I believe is a...

I'm sure to find something else city-scapey after this, but I quickly flicked through my negatives to try to find something suitably suitable to suit this challenge :) Here's what I came up with, it's from March this year, and is a pretty decent cityscape of Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay from...

I can't decide whether this shot looks better off centre or cropped to the middle. I'm torn 50/50, what do you guys think? Also, all hail the power of Natura 1600 for actually giving me a reasonable exposure time at the crazy F numbers on the Xpan! Here is the original at full frame width...

Definitely, it's the first thing I noticed too.

Unless you like recharging batteries very often, or plan on using this setup very infrequently, I'd suggest your money is definitely better invested in the studio strobes. Especially as you cite indoor use as your primary purpose.
