I often write my findings after running a test roll for a new camera that arrived. By default, I wrote a mini-review, complete with image samples into a new thread in my favorite camera-related forum, the RangefinderForum.com.
But... I also want to populate this blog. What a hassle it is, not to mention boring, to replicate what I wrote there to here.
So, what to do then? for now, an easy way is to provide a link from here to there, therefore, anyone who stumbles upon this blog can read the review over there and vice versa.
Therefore, here are two mini reviews as of late:
Olympus 35 DC - I think the DC will be one of my favorite. It has the typical sharpness of the Zuiko lens and the smooth bokeh of the Konica Hexanons. I love the colors too.
Kiev 4AM - This is the first interchangeable lens RF system that I own. Although plagued by the FSU build quality (= not very good), it doesn't betray its legendary heritage (Contax). And this camera taught me that RF systems are not created equal.
You see, I haven't been too idle these days :)
... speaking of being idle, this image is my favorite as of late, it is quite idyllic...
Taken with the Kiev 4AM, expired Ilford XP2 shot at 200ASA-ish (no meter)

Oh my!... The '49 flathead V8 Ford is my favorite car of all time.
And I love the last shot of the hat made with a Kiev 4am.
Please PM me at RFF; I'm mike goldberg, and I haven't figured out how to Upload into Blog :(
Ciao, Mike
