Yeah that's me 95% of the time, then I have one of Those Days and seize on something like this, which then ironically teaches people who didn't already know you could do it how to do it, thus justifying my existential self-doubt.

I am Jack's seething rage.

The button is at the bottom of the image. How hard could it be to track who clicks that button? They track likes and share buttons?

1 Autographic Kodak Special Model A from 1920 that has some unusual features (a 2x2" mask and two red windows on the back to accommodate it - but there's no documentation of such a back or mask for this model. It's also got the split back door that opens up the middle, and a couple other things)

It's also got this sweet Wollensak Optimo No. I 4.5 shutter with the B&L Tessar Series 1c lens.

Got the shutter unstuck and 4 distinct consistent speeds going and got a lot of the hazy shit out of the elements.

Now I'd like to shoot it.

Saturday camera project = trying to calibrate the infinity focus on this very unusual 1920 1 Autographic Kodak Special Model A.

Ground glass taped on, practicing on the distance to the door, but I need to make an adjustment that may involve more than the screw under the rail...

I'm sure they don't - this was a late night bitchy pet peeve post more than anything. People gonna screen shot, just would prefer there not be an open invitation to do it?

Back when I was a boy we didn't have a save button. We had to first blah blah blah and that's the way it was and we LIKED IT

I know it's not a full res photo, but I guess I'd rather folks have to work at it instead of being invited?

When you click on a pic to view on its own screen, there's a SAVE button at the bottom of the screen. Click and download.

I think the middle shot was used in the sleeve art of the Tutu LP...

I'm not a big fan of the "save" feature.

If bsky is gonna show me who's reposting and who's liking the photo, why not show me who's downloading it?

I got lucky - seller listed one as working but the on-camera flash was wonky and inconsistent. I was like "Dude. Who uses the on-camera flash?" and grabbed it for $200. When it arrived? MINT condition. Mind = blown.

That was the last day I shot my F100.

Also: the Z-1p is more $$ than expected. :-(

I love my mz-s but I get lost in the controls when I don't use it consistently. And it's stupid crap like trying to get to Aperture Priority (if it doesn't automatically change to it, press the auto exposure reset button??).

Too. Many. Cameras.

Let me say: I'm looking forward to shooting this new KIKI PAN 320 sent by @zdp189.bsky.social all the way from Hong Kong, but the packaging alone has me hooked.

A roll locked & loaded in the Pentax MZ-S - I'm set for an adventure.

I love my M645! When a friend gifted me an 80mm 1.9 for it, everything else went out the window. I was (and still am) invincible when that thing is mounted.

Enjoy it! Fairly sure that if I were forced to choose only one of my MF cameras, this would be it (over the 2.8F C330 Bessa II Ikonta IV, etc)

It was a screenshot from when they first posted it on IG. My excitement was matched only by my disappointment when I remembered it was 4/1. Just doing my part each year to pay it forward.

It was cruel when they posted it back then. It's still cruel today.
