Canonet GIII QL17 and Ilford FP4+ in Rodinal

[mtbbrian]

That R4A has me thinking... but also about the R4M. The M is more classic, no doubt about it, but I think the A might suit me better. And use of a 21mm lens and no external finder? Way cool. Bah, just money!

My film scanner is ancient. It's a SCSI device if you remember that. Jumping back into film means upgrading that because I really don't see a darkroom happening. I'll develop the film and then scan. I never minded developing the film and it's really not that time consuming. The time came with scanning and I think a new scanner might improve it to the point that I'd actually do it. Just being honest with myself...

I can certainly see an R4 in your future Steve.
Do what I did.
Sell your entire S2 kit, body, glass and all and buy that R4!
I got into an R2A kit with 25, 35 and 75 lenes for around $1600.
An R4 would be a bit more for the body, but depending on what or how many lenes you bought, you could be into an R4 kit for about that.
Add it all up and I think it's what you need to do for your photography!
I won't buy the camera for you, nor will I pay for any counseling you may need due to your soon to be RF affliction, but I will be there to help support it!
I am here for you man!

Where's the "mulling it over" smiley?

It's a thought. Gotta pick up some film for the Canonet for now though!

Steve,

I just wanted to add my 2 cents. Can't remember if I told you, but I got an R2A and a couple of lenses about three months ago. Couldn't be happier. It's a blast to use and the lenses are fantastic. Go shoot a few rolls in that Canonet and if it doesn't do anything for you, then don't worry about it. But if you like it, you'll like a Bessa even more.

Ray, are you listening?

LOL!
I can respect that.
Just make sure you get some film soon, and post some stuff when you can.
