Another chance to get into film.

I wish I still had my pentax 110 super with all the lenses.
Best film camera ever.
I regret getting rid of my canonet GIII f/1.7 rangefinder camera. It was my first 'real' camera, and it was chock fully of pixie dust and magic. I'll never have another camera with more 'wow!' in it than I got out of that one!

It was almost impossible to focus and used now-illegal toxic batteries... but I loved it.
 
I'm anxious to give it a whirl. I'm looking forward to exploiting the characteristics of different films and scenes.
 
Eagle has landed in his new nest!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a lengthy migration but a worthwhile trip, hopefully! :)
Pictures will be up tomorrow! And film scans in a couple weeks if all goes well.

Thanks again Ron! What a generous gift. Truly a class act!!!

Glad it made it. Have fun with it.
 
I cleaned her up a little, put on a strap, loaded film, and made a few frames. It feels really great in hand!

Something is going on in the forum this morning. I cannot attach the full image in my post. There is no option given. I'm having difficulty in Flickr also. Definitely some gremlins in my pictures today.

Fuji Superia that my local pharmacy carries. I want to run through a cheap roll first until I'm more comfortable with the camera.
 
Fuji superia, colours on these shots are spot on

The Vista seems to have better color rendition than the Superia. There's a bit of a green cast in the Superia.
