The builders are turning this office complex into a cineplex. I will probably do a series on this and post new photos now and then...

The armband is more common in Austria and the neighbouring countries than in the rest of the world.

Butkus has the MF-23 manual available in PDF.

MIR has the MF-24 manual more or less available.

The only difference is the 250 frame capacity of the MF-24.

Curious, what pleases you more when you're seeing the end results, files from the F4 or files from your digital cameras?

That's difficult to answer as the transition to digital was, at least mostly, a matter of cost and convenience.

I landed a gig with an importer of tools and motorcycle parts to produce the photos for their yearly catalog and the deadline was simply too tight for analog work. My first digitals were a Kodak DCS 760 and its monochrome companion, the DCS 760M. That first year, I think I shot about 50000 items over the span of 5 weeks. All tools had to be shot in both B&W and colour as the AD couldn't predict what would end up in the colour section of the catalog. Monochrome conversions were not an alternative for print yet as the software was still very primitive 20 years ago.

Ever since I got my first D700, film has been infrequent as the D700 files can yield results similar to Ektachrome 100 in colour, but with ISO 1600 or so and similar to Ilford PanF, but with ISO 3200. Film was always just a starting point for the final print, whether on Ilford Galerie or on P 30 material. My current digitals have even bigger DR and lower noise levels than the D700.

I shoot more 120 than 135 as film still has advantages in larger sizes. 

The F4 is more nostalgia than practical today but I still miss the ergonomics and how easy and intuitive it is to use. One extra reason to shoot more digital is that I moved house a year ago and don't have the room available for a darkroom anymore. In the last 10 years, I have shot less film in each year than I did every day 30 years ago.

I got this lens on Thursday, this is the first frame I shot with it. The combo seems to work well in available dark.
