You want to hear about a good deal. I bought a mint LX with fA1, FB1 and
action eyepiece. plus a winderLX, a Beattie intenscreen (grid pattern) as
well as original LX grid screen and several 5p flash cords and the electronic
release for $500 Cdn. The thing is mint. I couldn't resist.

Well, I had fun taking the half-dozen or so shots I took before selling my SMC Takumar
500/4.5 + 1.4X (700mm) lens. But the 400/5.6 PKA is ever so much lighter and so much
easier to set up and use, esp. with manual focus. I've decided that 400 is plenty
focal length for me.

I tend to carry 3 or 4 rolls of B&W, with a roll or two of colour (that I
rarely, if ever use) in 35. I'll also have 3 or 4 rolls of B&W 120. If I
take out the Graphic, I only have four exposures (two carriers).

I usually bring 6-10 rolls in some combination of color, b&w, and ISO
200, 400 & 800, depending on the conditions.

I'd not considered the new cameras with fast shutter speeds. Out of
sight, out of mind, I guess. Most of the time I'm using cameras with a
top speed of 1/1000, but rarely ever use anything faster than 1/500.
New cameras have speeds of up to 1/8000 these days, don't they?

If I'm planning a photo hike of two or three hours, I'll take about six
rolls of 120 or four rolls of 35mm. Usually, I take half BW, half color.
I rarely shoot only BW, because I don't want to have to process that
much film. For a quick walkaround in town, I'll take two to three rolls
of 120 or tw

Delta 400 and or now Ilford FP4 100.
For the Y-M I take 1 each of 160 Portra, 125
FP4 and i'll see what the Agfa transparancies
looks like when its done.I might just carry 1-2
of that.

Hi Bill ...
Just to clarify a point, I find it too confusing to shoot with more than
one speed at a time, so if using more than one body they each contain
the same film. But I carry more than one speed to cover changes in the
light, such as when out from morning to dusk, or even later. It's

I could have been hallicinating, but I think I remeber seeing Provia
1600 last weekend at local photo store. I could swear I saw that, but
now I cannot find any mention of that even on FujiFilm web site. Kinda
makes me wonder what they put in the air circ. system in that

Carefully slip a small piece of aluminum foil between the
lens and the mount so it shorts the body contacts
