It is amazing how drone technology has progressed over the years. I watch a few different motorsports - and they have camera drones fast enough to keep up with the cars/boats/etc - and it is amazing footage. I have been tempted many times to buy one, but I always come to the realization...

Ektar at my breakfast and lunch spots : Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100 - CS41 - 7-10-25-DSC_2194 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100 - CS41 - 7-10-25-DSC_2189 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100 - CS41 - 7-10-25-DSC_2188 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100...

Here is some Kodak Ektar 100 - I was handholding at some pretty slow speeds so these aren't as sharp. It was 100 speed film so most of the shots indoors was around the 1/15th range. Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100 - CS41 - 7-10-25-DSC_2184 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Mamiya C220 - Ektar 100 - CS41 -...

Yes, late '43 the army and navy stopped painting their aircraft more or less, so from that point on many were flown in their factory "buffed" finish. Saved a ton of time and effort to not paint them.

Some digital shots of a local to me airbase that flies a variety of historical aircrafts. I also have a few rolls of medium format to develop, which includes shots of their C-47 and the museum section - which is small but has some neat stuff and displays. I try and visit a few times a year, it...

I use an inexpensive Carson, as mentioned earlier. You can get them from amazon. This one is very large, 4.5x - barely fits on my ground glass : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Z9HGAS?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 And this one is way smaller, and 10x...

Thanks Chris! I was unsuccessful in my feature request to have the metric added to Google maps. Lol.

My "bulk (15ft)" roll of 16mm B&W film arrived for use in the Minolta. I am going to 3D print the cartridge. Unfortunately the roll that was in the Fuji when I bought it - yielded no results despite high hopes of debaucherous pics of strangers.

In my continuing efforts to spam this subforum - here is another roll from my recent trip to Savannah. The previous fort picture set taken with Kodak Tmax was at Fort Johnson, but here we have Fort Pulaski. If I were to rate the experiences - I would say Johnson was 5/10 on the "fortiness"...

Perhaps take a friend for focus confirmation? If I was local I would volunteer. Then you could narrow down the cause.

The Carson 4.5x I use is a large loupe (it barely fits on the ground glass) and due to the size of it I find it is easy to fine focus. I don't think it would be attributable to the film, as I have had good luck with the Fomopan films in terms of sharpness and resolution.

Gary, Did you use a magnified loupe to fine focus on your ground glass? I have found this is imperative for accurate fine focusing. I have two different ones I use depending on the subject matter and I rarely, if ever miss focus. I have a Carson 4.5x and a Carson 10x.
