Gift

I am the victim of a random act of kindness. @longexposure sent me this delightful rangefinder along with a rewind knob for my Pentax K1000. Thrilled!
Olympus OM-1, hand processed, scanned

@longexposure - thank you. 36 shots is loads. It has taken me this long to get through a roll!

Great shot as always - I was gifted a camera on the weekend as well, yet to play with it. Might post a shot of it tomorrow.

@spanner Yeah it feels like 36 shots go on forever.. And no worries

Wonderful image. Great camera. Please help me by posting camera settings if you can. I am learning to shoot with fully manual film. Very raw right now and making lots of mistakes on exposure.

Awesome photo and text! fav!

It is insane how consistently you capture beautiful contrast in your images. Love it as always.

@pickerandagrinner Hello - thank you for your kind words. I am more than happy to help however as I am mostly using film and vintage cameras it is quite difficult to keep tabs on my exposures. It also varies from camera to camera. This Olympus I have mostly used at 1.8, ISO 125 and then set the speed accordingly depending on the conditions. I am not organised enough to write it all down. This camera has a built in light meter. I have a hand held light meter for my other cameras and also there is a free light meter app for iphone which is pretty good. Hope that helps. Please feel free to ask any questions. I would be more than happy to help if I can - I am a novice but keen.

@stillcrappysailor Thank you.

I love these old Yashica rangefinders. My Yashica GT35N is one of my all time favourites. Hope you have fun with it. :)

@spanner Disorganized? My face is planted there in the dictionary! Completely understand and thanks.
