Here's what I do when I buy a used camera : a) load with ISO 100 or 200 film. Generally it will be B&W because I do my own development. Otherwise regular cheap...
Just to avoid confusion : do not compare the outdoor shots with the indoor shots ! Just look at the outdoor sequence by itself and see if there are any...
This is a terrific post... belongs in a FAQ somewhere. Just two small points... check those negatives for lightleaks and transport damage (scratches) too, and...
... Not necessarily. My 50mm f/1.8 was sharper than my 50mm f/1.4 but the 1.8 was so much colder in colour that I got rid of it. I much prefer the warmer,...
Also do an indoor flash test shot at the correct sync speed to make sure that flash sync is working. When looking at the negatives, look for things like images...
Vladimir, I am just curious whether Radioshak's Model 675HP Zinc-Air Pager/Hearing Aid

I don't have an F1 to check but the batteries it uses are the old PX625 which I think are a tad smaller than the PX675 or the 675HP. Vlad ... Pager/Hearing Aid...
... Perhaps you'd agree that the 1.8 is coolER than the 1.4 then. The 35/2 thorium is even warmer, of course but otherwise I find the 28mm's fairly neutral,...

Vlad 675's are smaller then 625's I tried to find you a chart to look at on the net but I got bored. Anyway with a little rubber Oring or pc of insulated wire...
