Not sure if photo bucket lets you look at full size. I'll have to put them on Flickr when I get back. Hopefully it lets you look at the other recent pics. There's one from 2 miles up on a volcano at 5 am

Really enjoying it so far, a totally different experience to digital photography. The camera is fully manual (although it has basic light meter) and you don't know what you've got until the film is developed. I have set myself a rule to not edit the digital versions of the film shots (apart from maybe a minor straighten) so they are generally straight out of the camera.
I'd like to get a medium format camera next I think...

just got back from a 267 mile drive to Aso with the family. We stayed in a 5 star Mitsubishi members only hotel (My wife works for Mitsubishi) so I was the poorest bastard there Of course I took the camera with me. Pulled off 170 keepers plus a few cool driving videos which I'll put on to YouTube at some point as well as a 1080p scenic video. The GH2 can pull of some amazing video that wouldn't look out of place on TV. Take a look at this one I made a few months back.

It had a beautiful 50mm f1.4 lens which I tended to use most of the time.
I recently bought my daughter a D3200 and wouldn't know where to start to use it manually but I have seen some M42 to Nikon adaptors so will be looking out for some cheap, fast lenses.
There is a whole group on Flickr based on that cult Chinon lens - http://www.flickr.com/photos/kh12345...7629149882057/

Originally posted by Ginger Tosser View PostI'd recommend one, they are great fun (though heavy if you get an old Mamiya TLR).
Originally posted by MartyG View PostSome nice shots there Garf - using film really does change how you think about your photography, although when I'm shooting with it, I still habitually end up looking at the back of cameraLast edited by Garf; 29-04-2013, 19:04.

Outdoors - amazong.
Indoors - way better than my Ixus, although it can come up with some really wacky colours while attempting to deal with the low light - playing with the whitebalance helps, but I've yet to understand how to consistently get that right.
Touchscreen is mega.
Intelligent Auto seems to work most of the time.
Still struggling with the slightly unintuitive controls when in the more manual modes. Well different controls to canon anyway....
Picture quality is in the main exactly what I was looking for.
And for anyone searching for the best camera bag for the Panasonic Lumix GX1 with 14-42 X Lens, check out this Lowepro Dashpoint 20. It's an absolutely perfect size, although there's no space for spare battery etc, but for lugging it around while on holiday, and charging over night if necessary, it was a great bag, with fast opening zip access. Just remember to load the camera into the bag while holding the grip so it's easy to remove too.

I've pondered getting my old Minolta slr out a few times but I'm well out of practice with film, plus I keep forgetting to actually buy some, in the end it's just so much more convenient with a dslr.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 29-04-2013, 20:48.
