Need to get those MMs of the latest WaReZ. I got a T1 FTP connect with DrinkOrDie, and chill with BoxingNun of UPS.

Goodness, I just had a memory of web rings in the 90s on tripod, anglefire, and geocities, lol.

If I set up a Lemmy instance it'll have to be named lemmycities.

It's well built, I'll say that. No play in it's construction, everything is smooth, aperture stops click satisfyingly.

Like I said, the focus takes a bit to get used to, but it's not too bad. The little focus ears are cute, remind me of the ones you'd find on the old Arri-mount Cooke Kinetels for 16mm. I'll probably remove them at some point.

I haven't done much with it yet, but It's sharp, with a soft bokeh, warmer tones than Zeiss or Leica glass. It looks like a Cooke :)

In terms of shooting with a digital body, it certainly is nice not sitting on a roll for a while before developing it. I'm still getting used to the Lightroom Classic workflow and it's capabilities. The freedom is a bit intimidating.

I'm used to trying to get what I want in the camera. Knowing the film stock, the processes, the lens... I like the exercise of solving the puzzle. I was never one for shooting clean and relying on post. The DNG format is pretty flexible, reminds me of working on a digital intermediate in cine.

I like quirky lenses and shallow DoF. I shoot a lot with a single coated Voigtlander 40mm Nokton and get a nice painterly feel, so I think the LLL SP2 will fit in nicely.

I'll post a sample as a new post here to get the post count going for the community.

Meh, we have an opportunity to set a new tone and culture. Just power through the noise. I thoroughly enjoyed your post. Cheers!

It's funny all the people posting about a shared withdrawal. Reddit was a habit. I feel it. But, I'm here to fill the void with a healthier substitute. Cheers everyone, we're going to make this awesome!
