What’s your favorite under-appreciated camera? Every time I carry it, I am reminded that the zx-m (a hand-me-down from a neighbor) is a delight. Uses all the great Pentax mf lenses. Lightweight. Nice display. Av. Winder. Usually available for ~$20! Better than a k1000. #BelieveInFilm #CameraGear
A blacked out zx-m held in my hand.
Looking down at the external display of the zx-m. A handwritten sign is visible that says “meter overexposes 1 full stop”.

It’s done! Ready for a test roll to look for light leaks!! (Am going to use the 35 mask and run a very short roll!) Everything is working: batt monitor, both screens, lens calibration, range finding, artificial horizon. It’s amazing. #BelieveInFilm #3dPrinting #CameraGear #DIYCamera
Front view of the fully buttoned up MRF camera.
The rear screen of the MRF, showing the big text “load film” and also that the pano mask is selected, the 100 3.5 is selected, and battery is at 94%!!
View through the viewfinder showing the artificial horizon, the pano mask, the light meter reading for the selected aperture (3.5), the current measured distance and the current lens focus distance.

Local “cool stuff” store had this wooden tripod that better matches my restored Seneca 6! Worked much better than my usual modern tripod for a couple attempts at portraits during youth soccer today! #CameraGear #LargeFormat #BelieveInFilm (or paper in this case).
Seneca 6 large format camera mounted on a medium sized antique wooden tripod.

Omg! After many months of patient waiting, my GR1 is back!!! I took a gamble on one of the two places repairing the ribbon cables on these and now my GR1 is fully functional again! Working LCD + working viewfinder display! Woohoo! #BelieveInFilm #CameraGear #RicohGR
The repaired gr1, laying on a table. Still with the gaffers tape covering the model markings, as placed by my neighbor who bought this new some 35 years ago.
GR1 seen from above, showing 37 frames remaining, clearly visible on the lcd display.
Cellphone view through the viewfinder showing the frame lines and program mode indicators clearly visible again.
The gr1 back in its original leather pouch.

Tonight’s carry: the weird and wonderful (?) Pentax Pz-1p (1995). Powerful and functional as befits a flagship model: ✅ Light, plasticky, and cheap feeling as befits a Pentax Z series: ✅ It’s really an odd camera. I think I love it. #CameraGear #BelieveInFilm
The pz-1p sitting on a table with a super zoom mounted.

A thread of #SoundsOfShutters for Bsky. Starting with a favorite, the ensign special reflex: the long shutter lever cranks a big mirror out of the way mechanically before tripping the (somewhat finicky and complex) focal plane shutter. #CameraGear #BelieveInFilm h/t @mikecrivellos.bsky.social
