Congrats Bill. Now you have a backup camera. Do you already have this lense or will this be another lense to try?

Jes and Ron, thanks!
Ron, the wide lens is what I was after, it completes my set of lenses I
want for the Koni. I will now have the wide (58mm is same as this 60mm)
the normal 90mm, and the tele 180mm. And a spare body to boot! I can't
wait to try both the lens and the second body. It will probably stay on this
camera permanently. I've seen some spectacular landscape and architecture shots done with this lens! |

Sweet Bill!
It's so fun that you are working with this platform .
The shots you have so far are really impressive.
Now with a second body and full set of FL choices, I'm really curious to see what you come up with.
It's really great to finally find a system that "clicks".
I feel this way about Small format rf's.
Happy for you that you locked in on the Koni 
@ Scott
I love the new Avatar
you look really happy!

Congrats Bill,
I used the Portra 800 and was very surprised with the lack of graniness. I expected it to be very grainy but surprise, surprise . .it's very clean.
Does the Koni have a light meter or what meter are you using if it doesn't?

Thanks, fellas, the auction ended at around 5:30pm on a Saturday, that is
a most propitious time if you're a buyer!  Two hours later and it would
have been different story.
Nesster, you're on, and thanks for the offer!
Andy, hope to see some of your Zeiss Ikon shots some time, fabulous
camera system.
Poilu, at first look at this camera I didn't know if I would get on with it. Turns
out to be just the thing for me!
Dave, it comes and goes with this camera, sometimes there's a feeding
frenzy (especially for the all-black Rapids) that pump up the price.
Jules, for metering it's just the sun at my back during the day, and the
moon and stars at night, actually, just a handheld meter, but I'm OK with
that, have lots of cameras (like my Exaktas) with no meters, or ones that
are broken (like my Konica T4s). According to the write-up @ Freestyle,
the 800 really comes into its own in the 120 size, will soon see. I was
quite happy with the results in the 35mm.
Thanks again, fellas.
Bill

You could simply see - if you use photoshop or elements, you can download "virtual photographer" for free. It is fun to play with, as for the b&w conversion you can try out different 'filters', color shifts, and so on. My favorite free program.
