#Fuji has good #legacy on #medium #format #fixed #focal #length #rangefinders, their #645, #680 and #690 #cameras have been appreciated, especially in Japan. Always wanted one myself but the availability and #prize in Europe has been less than ideal. Now these cameras are half a century old so replacing them with #digital medium format rangefinder makes a lot of of sense. Especially considering how difficult is to #service and #repair these old #analog cameras.
Haven’t shot this stuff for years - this is one of the last two rolls I grabbed when it stopped being available. It expired 7 years ago, but I’ll give it 1/3 of a stop and she’ll be right (mate).

And then there were two.
Buying a Contax IIa after a year of battling with (and being frustrated by) a Contax II may be the definition of a sunken cost fallacy. But… it was cheap(ish). So I regret nothing.
I’ve shot more film this week than in the last decade. For most of the 10s I had a health condition that gave me super shaky hands for a decade. I could not reliably focus a rangefinder (or even hold one up).
I’m thankful for being able to pick up on the things I’ve loved and missed. My skills are rusty, but the joy and happiness from taking pictures never left.
