RE: PESO: Friday at a bar

I agree with Cotty, looks like a shot with a specific theme or message in mind. She looks nervous or apprehensive by the expression and restless fingers. Kind of a "Life's worries too much?" sorta thing. Very nice capture, I like it a lot. Don > -Original Message- > From: Juan Buhler [mai

Re: PESO: Friday at a bar

Wow, thanks Cotty! Shel: I only posted it to my blog and here because I liked the colors of the light and the girl. Technically, the focus could be about 15cm farther, and maybe the girl behind the main subject could be more to the right. But that's the way it was, and obviously I liked it enough.

Re: PESO: Friday at a bar

Re: PESO: Friday at a bar

I like the lighting and the range of gentle colors. I like the expression on the woman's face. I like the second woman just peeking in from the left. It's a moment in time in an interesting place. When I opened it, I found that I was interested enough to study it for a minute or two. To me, tha

RE: Best M42 body?

I've never owned the Singles, but I have looked through the finder. It's hard to say without having all the cameras in front of me, but I think the Spotmatic F is the brightest screwmount finder I''ve ever used. I like the Fuji 801 as well, but it's much harder to find a good one, and it may not
