While I would much rather take something like my Contax RX - sometimes due to space, discretion, etc - something smaller and pocketable comes in handy. That is why I bought a Pentax 17.

Convenience? Fits right in my pocket.

The Musical Instrument Museum here in Phoenix is a wonderful place, and I go there often for concerts as they have a wide variety of artist from around the world that perform. The venue is very nice, and small. I figured film would be an appropriate medium for Jazz. I was eyeballing the Ilford...

My Toyo 45G rail camera requires a different lensboard (it is inset) for 90mm or wider lenses.

Thanks for the compliments! I think UltraMax 400 is an underrated film stock, and I particularly like the TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 lens. I will agree, the third one (478) is also my favorite. I tried composing the tip of the cactus and the cactus flower in a "diamond" of branches.

Ultramax 400 + Voigtlander VSL1 TM + TTArtisan 75mmF1.5 Went to breakfast this morning - stopped at a local park, and then a another local park. The camera is a Voigtlander TSL1 TM. The TM being "thread mount" and since I have never seen another and they rarely pop up for sale anywhere - must...

I have a couple Nikon LF lenses - and they are great lenses. You will be happy with it.

It is a great camera. Light, small, and a great lens. PXL_20250121_221041584~3 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr

I have a few Domke bags, I like them. That and they are made in the USA so that is an added plus. The one in the pic is an F-6. Small bag, but I had the Lumix G9 w/ grip, Pana-Leica 100-400, Oly 40-150F4 pro, a Nikon F4s, Nikon 35-100, and Nikon 80-200F2.8 all crammed in there lol.

While back I bought a few 3 packs of Lomo color 800 120 when they were on sale super cheap. Considering the price of Portra 800 I thought it was a worthwhile gamble. I finally loaded some up in my Fuji GS645W and seen how it looks. Overall I like it quite a bit, expected grain for 800 speed...

I have a bunch of ProImage - and generally like it. I will often buy it (and Fuji 200) when it goes on sale as it is a little cheaper than most color stocks. I think the "pro" in the name is a bit funny cause I don't consider it in the same category as Portra or Ektar. It usually produces nice...

Since the AFB is "in town" I think they are used to people watching / photographing the planes. It is surrounded by public streets and as long as you are on the "civilian" side of the big fence they have never bothered anyone to my knowledge. There is a major street that goes right under the...

That is awesome. They occasionally have F16s at Luke AFB and I have grabbed several shots of them. I don't think there is a more "Fighter Plane" looking fighter plane than the F16. They have some Dassault Mirages on base for some sort of training and I hope I get to snags some pics of those as...
