Larry -- If it has a meter, it must be a 4M rather than AM. I have one with Helios 103, and Jupiter 12 lenses, and it is a solid performer. My meter worked last time I checked, but that was some time ago. --- James

I now have the X100s. I'll post a bit about it in Digital Dharma v. soon - it's good. But, y'know, I see the IIIf with it's 1948 Summitar on the desk and the M4 with the Summaron 35/2.8 - and I have this overpowering urge to take one or other of them too. It doesn't seem right to go all electronic on a pilgrimage Dan -- On a hike like that you may wish for something much wider than the lens on the X100s. By any chance do you have a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim? That would fit in a shirt pocket and maybe satisfy your urge not to be all electronic. Just a thought. --- James |

Dan -- The x100s colors are fantastic. It isn't yet available in the US, which is probably a good thing for my pocketbook. Did you consider the Olympus EM-5 OM-D when you were shopping around? I am very fond of mine. --- James

I am very impressed, Phil. Yes, the antique place looks well worth a return visit. That seems to be a helluva sharp lens. Your local photo lab seems very capable (C-41, E-6, B/W). Do you know if they do mail-order? I didn't see any indication of this on their website. --- James

Very, very nice Paul. "View from the top" is especially nice. I am amazed that you continue to get such well composed shots without benefit of a real (eye-level) viewfinder. Even under not so bright conditions, I can't make things out on an LCD. Maybe I should try a dark cloth  . --- James |

Yes. This is much more what I was thinking. I think a single person, looking into the shot (away from the camera) would be best.
Want to pose for me? The more I look at it, the more I think that this last shot is my best of the day. |
