That's a lovely shot...lens wide open and no flash and a film camera?

I couldn't do that with film, I had ISO 100 loaded in the 139That's cheating
Indeed the most difficult that |'ve ever encounteredand a very difficult subject.
I've finally (and this is your fault @Solo man ) gotten a folder... got a little voigtlander bessa, max shutter speed 1/75, widest aperture 6.3... I'm off to dawlish tomorrow, so I'm gonna give it a bit of a bash down there.
Got the big one this week...

I think it's going to get quite a bit of use! Blasted through one roll already. 16 shots is quite a good number.
You'll love the results Suz. The GA645 I had easily delivered the sharpest results I've had from analogue camera. It was only the point and shoot nature of the camera that eventually led to me selling it but I miss the negatives!
That's good going already! Look out for the exposure info at the edge of the frame - it's a nice little touch! I saw your other comment about the mode button and needing to press the second button. I agree that it's a pain - it's probably the only thing I didn't like about the camera as it made it a bit awkward for grabbing and taking a snapshot.Got the big one this week...

All we need now is some nice sunny weather so we can play outside with our new toys. This dull, drizzly, raw weather we keep getting round here at the moment is no use at all.

Tell me about it First sunny day yesterday so I was out like a greased weasel.
I was slightly unclear - it also prints it on the edge of the negative frame! Can be handy when looking at a nice image and wanting to remember what you did!I noticed that. Very useful. And it also tells you what distance it's chosen for focussing too. I set it on P mode as I realised when outside in full sunshine with a shallow DOF it would probably exceed the 1/500th shutter speed.
Got 2 rolls of portra that are out of date so they're up next

I have a foolproof method for assessing what focal length lens I'll need for any given shot on 35mm
The cut out simply relates to the dimensions of the negative 4x5, 6x6, 24 x 36mm ( or whatever a £%mm frame is) etc etcA zoom is handy How do you adjust the frame for different 35mm lenses other than taking different cut outs?
I don't take credit for this as I came across it on the internet somewhere, may have even been on here.As for 35mm, I have a completely different method for working out which prime lens to use, which I'll attempt to type up later
If it doesn't work as an image framing aid you could always try listing it on eBay as a humane fly-swatter!
I love my T70 [emoji7]If ever you're given a multiple choice question where the the Canon T70 is the obvious worst option then you are duty bound to tick that box.

I had to look the T70 up again to remind myself how ugly it is. Truly, an offense to the eyes.

Won a Nikon L35AF yesterday so quite looking forward to having a play with that!
