I have just got my ESII back but the meter isn't behaving as I would expect. When one presses the shutter button the meter needle drops then slowly rises back up to 1000. Changing the aperture have no impact on the needle.

My first thought was the batteries so I swapped them for the set in my ME-F (as I don't have any absolutely new batteries) but I get the same thing.

Is this likely to be a battery issue or is the camera malfunctioning?

Many thanks, Kris.

My lady love has just told me that my ESII has come back from Eric Hendrickson having been repaired. Only annoying thing is that I am in Texas this week! I'm looking forward to playing with it next week. Should be fun...

All the winders (I have the MX, MEII, Motordrive A, LX winder and LX Motordrive) are as noisy as hell. Not something I use if I want to be discreet.

If you want heavy try the ME-F with the MEII winder, the AF35-70 zoom lens and a flash... Only takes 16 batteries (8x AA, 4x AAA, 4x LR4).

Best wishes, Kris.

As presented I prefer the colour option but I think it would be possible to make a much more punchy and attractive BW. The current conversion is a little flat.

Best wishes, Kris.

MF in the heading, does that refer to Medium Format?

In this case I think he means "manual focus" as in the "mflenses" forum. As acronyms go MF is one of the more ambiguous ones.

I wonder if there is a mfmflenses forum....

As Jon said, removing colour allows the creation of essentially abstract images of line, light and shade. For that reason I think 4 and 8 are by far the best two of the set. 1 is good but could (perhaps) be improved by a tighter crop. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the others might work very well with tighter crops reducing the flowers to forms, for example 6 might work well as a square crop.

Nice work though, some images to be proud of there.

New York is one of the few big cities I like, and your images really remind me of it. I too, like the billboard shot a great deal. The BW shots from the top of the Empire State Building look a bit too harsh to me? I can't quite put my finger on why though, perhaps too much sharpening or maybe just too much contrast.

I'm glad you like the 18-135 as I am still tempted to get one for those rare occasions I manage to force myself to travel light.

Excellent. I like it very much indeed. Excellent mono conversion too.

The DoF was indeed a bit short but as good as I could get it... I was already on 1 second exposures. I did try (with the digital) take a sequence of images in order to try focus-stacking but I haven't had time to work on those yet.

The funny lines are spider's silk...

Best wishes, Kris.
