nice work carsten. the rig seems very capable are you enjoying the rf experience? i myself really enjoy robustness of the result for the compactness of the gear. on film with mf, except for tele work, there isnt anything a much larger slr rig can do that these can't.

The problem with film in my area is that the local labs are utter crap!
But this time I have sent the rolls to a mail-in service and was very satisfied with the results.

Finally, I have found a way to enjoy film again.

I love shooting with rangefinder cams. It's a very special experience.
The Yashica 35GS that I got from F16SUNSHINE some time ago has always been one of my favourite cams.
The Zorki-4 is great and I love my M8.
I was not entirely sure about my Leica IIIa, if it was really working properly. The first film I have shot with it did not bring up decent results. But now I know that the cam is working well and it was the bad lab that had destroyed my images.
This time everything is fine.

Nice set.

As Tony said, how are you enjoying this camera? I have the cheapskate Zorki/FEDs and love them.

Like the results ... The j12 is a black or silver model ?
I've just lost a Leica IIIc for a 105 E ! I was too shy and didn't considerd it seriously . Was shure it's going to go much higher .
