This big fella flew right over my home after its flypast at NDP. :gbounce:

Taken with KM5D with Minolta 24-105mm lens. This one's my favorite. :vhappy:

Humm....looks similar. :)

Got this Ricoh 500G from one of the members here back in 2011. My first rangefinder camera.:heart: Got it CLA and it has been producing great pictures. But the light meter is no longer working, thus got to learn and rely on the Sunny16 rule each time I shoot. Safe keeping this Yashica...

Some noob shots taken with my Ricoh 500G.

Woke up my KM5D with a Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro lens to take some shots of my cat recently. :P Still find that it produces pretty decent shots. :)

Nice to see someone else still using the KM5D. :D Think read couple of years back Sony had stopped support for Minolta and KM products. :( No idea if those outside camera repair shops are able to do repair works on the KM5D. Edit:Ok found the post on Sony website...

These 2 kingfishers kept knocking on my window. Manage to take a snap shot of them before they noticed me and flew off. :vhappy: Minolta 18-200 F2.8 on KM5D

Like to know the price for the Sony mount version. Thanks.

From what I have read, pilots prefer to land/take off against the wind. Why do airplanes take off and land against the wind

Trying to learn the Brenizer Method with the KM5D. Still need some more refining. :think::think:

Some practice shots using ILford Pan400 film with Ricoh 500G.

Dunno how I stumbled onto this website and read this. "A much-improved “hot shoe”. You don’t appreciate this unless you shoot under pressure. The traditional flash mount on every other camera is based on a design that dates back to at least 1940. It has become problematic...

Ok. Will take note on the sharpening. Thanks.:) I was trying out this software call 'GIMP' and also a 'National Geographic' script on it. ;p

Wow....beautiful shots. Your shots very clear and interesting facial expressions. Wow!!!
