Photowalk with EX2F
6

While on the way to work, I remembered the EX2F I had tucked in my bag a few days ago.

I took it out and enjoyed a little bit of shooting with it. Felt rusty and some of my compositions seem hurried.

After that, I had breakfast at a nearby cafe and remembered the EX2F had built-in Wifi.

The transfer was really slow for today's speeds - 36 photos took about 10 minutes to transfer. It's still faster if you compared it to sending in a roll of film to develop

Photos processed with VSCO

Enjoy your shooting guys

Samsung EX2F

Very nice photos - they still look very good even by today's standards.

And it's amazing that you got the wifi transfer to work at all!

I've heard of this camera before and it's always intrigued me.

Thanks! Wifi just worked with my android phone and the Mobilelink app

I really didnt spend as much time as I should have with this camera in the ten years ive had it.

Will try make time to shoot with it more.

The camera arrived today and it seems very nice, especially considering it's 10 years old now.

There area few minor annoyances. In A or S modes with auto ISO the iso seems limited to 400?

Also, I can't manage to get the WiFi to work. My phone connects to the camera but the mobile link app just crashes.

Update, WiFi now works after I deleted the storage within the app and tried again.

First impressions of the camera are very good - this seems like a very underrated camera. It's also the only camera I own (apart from the one on my phone) that offers a precapture mode. I haven't tried this out yet but it seems exciting.

I like the camera for close ups, where the fast Schneider lens is at its best. I've used mine extensively, and the EX1 before it, and they're excellent travel cameras despite their age.

I can't get wifi to work, either. The Samsung app says it's not an authorised camera.

See above, I managed it after clearing the storage within the mobile link app.

The app I have is the Samsung Mobile Link, and the message I get is 'a camera that is not compatible with the current application has been connected'. Also, i can't see any way to clear storage if that's what works.
