I have an RMC Tokina 75-150/3.8, and 150/3.8 is pretty handy sometimes. I'd take that most times over a 75-300 that is fuzzy and f/5.6 @ 300.

Here is a piscture of my two Yashica FR and FR1 together with the 28, 50 and 55 mm :







They are indeed very nice cameras to use.

New arrival!



Becausse, you know, everyone should have one

Got it today, good condition, flash works.

The Canon EF film SLR. This uncommon camera is one I've been looking for a while. A really good looking camera and I can see why it earned the "Black Beauty" name from other users.

OK. I'll pull on this thread.

Here's my Leica IIIf garage sale find. Bought it for cheap ($35) as a shelf decoration.

Decided to have it brought back to life (shutter curtain replacement and full CLA) and shoot some film again. This has been the least expensive, most fun I have had in a long pandemic while!

The camera:




Garage sale find: Leica IIIf and Elmar 5cm lens. Circa 1953

The results:




From my first roll of film, processed at home, digitized with an Olympus m43 camera.

Now I find myself scanning the local papers for more sales!

Shame that they only have one of those Leicas.

Anybody looking for a decent camera and a back up body, may be discouraged.

...but am too cheap, lately.

I had an XA before and liked it. Seems like scale focusing on your XA2 makes it more like a point & shoot with some flexibility. One doesn't always feel the need to use rangefinder focusing.

For my part, I have a µ, but its 35/3.5 triplet lens doesn't compare to the 4-element Zuiko in the XA2, in terms of edge sharpness. Built-in flash is nice though, and the ergonomics are better in use.

New arrival!

A thread unashamedly dedicated to photos of film gear.

Intrepid 4x5 Mk4 "Black Edition" - the camera I am using the most in the last months




Nikon FE2 with: 28/2.8, 50/1.4, 105/2.5 (all AI-s).




Bronica SQ-Ai with 80/2.8 and 40/4.0




Nikon F5 (with data back and magnifying eyepiece), AF-S 50/1.4 (and will mount all my AF-S/AF-D lenses)

Check the differences. One is from 1970 and the other from 2021.

I own both a 60-120mm f/2.8 and a 75-150mm f/3.5, and while I enjoy using them, neither one does very well at 300mm . For good or ill, such "portrait zooms" lost out in the marketplace first to fixed aperture 80-200/70-210mm class lenses and then to variable aperture lenses like the 75-300mm you mentioned.
