Well, not photography, but my latest?

Yesterday, I got myself an S-2000. I've spent very little over the last year and the DX-394 is getting a bit long in the tooth. Plus, with ML&S being within close walking distance...

Quite impressed so far.

Funny how lack of domain knowledge can lead to one reading an entire message and have no idea what it is about! Enjoy your new radio (as I now know having followed the link).

Lovely. I especially like 4 with the gorgeous backlit glow.

Lovely images.

The instructions just say to load it in subdued light. I did notice that one or two frames have some light piping so I would be tempted to make the light very subdued next time or use my changing bag.

This is the first roll I have tried and only have a 720nm filter. I like the results though and will probably be trying some more.

Like it very much Kris, great framing and treatment - and converging verticals are fine by me, they even work quite well here.

Thank you. You had me rushing back to Lightroom to check, but there aren't any converging verticals in this one. I spent some time setting-up the camera with a spirit level to make sure. It can be a little difficult with old film cameras as things like dented pentaprisms make getting everything level a bit of a chore.

I have, however, discovered that Rollei make their infrared film in 5x4...

There are some terrible reviews of this lens but these pictures make me think it might be more to do with the photographers than the lens! Very nicely done. I assume the issue with focus is that with a fixed aperture you don't have the luxury of stopping down to increase depth of field, so nailing your focus point becomes essential?

Nice images, just my sort of thing. I keep contemplating a 6x7 with a shift lens. I wish I had got one ten years ago when the prices weren't too bad, they are a little rich now.

Didn't you get the memo? Pentax cannot take pictures of birds in flight. Everyone knows that.

Super shots. Two and four are especially nice.

I shot a roll of Rollei Infrared film using a 720nm filter and metering for ISO 6, taking two shots, one as metered and one over. I haven't got the negs back yet to check, but it looks like the ISO 6 was plenty, if not slightly too much. Here is one photo from the roll taken using my MX and a SMC Pentax "K" 24mm f/2.8 lens. I wish there was some way to attach a filter to the shift lens...
