"those moments when the familiar things you ignore suddenly seem beautiful"
or are.
(and no, I don't have an idea for that wierd problem you described - except I would check if it eventually makes a difference at same lightning conditions with fresh batteries)

^ ''or are'' beautiful, I'm hearing you man. Sometimes beauty jumps out and smacks you in the heart where you'd never seen it before. |

ok, cool. thanks for the info. I'm looking forard to having a go to be honest. The more i look at this photo, the more i love it, by the way, You were stood on the opposite platform (not on a train)? How's the 667 in daylight?
|
^ Yeah, stood waiting for me train and had one of those moments when the familiar things you ignore suddenly seem beautiful. 667 is cool in the day, tiny apature=huge depth of field. I use a cokin red filter (the square slide into a holder type) and hold it over the lens and metering eye (awkwardly), gets nice dark skies. |

^ tell you one thing I get with the EE, if the light is too bright the camera shutter doesn't open, you just get a different sounding click n no picture, I don't know if you've had that with other packfilm cameras? I've heard other people with the same complaint. My only way to get round it was to shoot with no film and the back open so you can see the shutter opening and learn to reckognise the sound of a dud shot next to a good shot. If I hear the dud now I reckognise it and take the shot again. Anyone else got any suggestions? |

great shots. I've got an EE100 special in the post, should arrive next week - any hints/tips/advice? Is it a good camera?
|
^ it's a great camera, type 80 and 100 film I just find the lack of rangefinder a bit of a pain, infinity shots are fine, close up is a bit of a gamble if you don't carry a tape measure |
|
^ but as I can see from your shots, you have no problems with rangefinderless cameras |
