No, it's not mine !Laughing
I borrowed this from my only friend in town with wich I share the photo hobby , just to give it a try . Well , I was dissapointed , I suppose I have to learn the camera , lots of the frames were no good,focus away . Any expeiences with it? A beautifully crafted camera ,but I am just not used with it. The film was a Profoto 100 expired 4-5 years ago , I belive . Yet the ,colors get out pretty well .Scanned on KM Dimage III directly uncorected jpeg
This is in P mode :

Hi Teo !

I bought a T2 a few years back, but it died around frame number 5 when I put a film in it Crying or Very sad But, the picture you show seems to be sharp around the flowers in the foreground. I recall that the one I had was a difficult to manage with the 'first-pressure' focus lock, although that might have been part of its impending terminal decline. I never tried to find another one, partly because i wasn't really impressed with the way it felt. and it wasn't cheap. either.

The T2 still seems to hold its reputation, so it might be worth buying a new film and trying it again.

Hi , Stephen !

I missed a lot of shots because this somehow awkward AF .I tried too the focus assistant. Works good enough :
crop 1/3 of a frame
