    I'm glad (well, not glad, that would be mean… comforted perhaps) that you have as much trouble focusing medium format cameras at wide apertures as me. I've got an S2A with the same lens and it's really hard to nail focus on a portrait with it wide open. Especially when not on a tripod. It's hard not to move the camera a bit between close focusing with the magnifier and then framing without the magnifier. The great thing about that camera/lens combo is that you don't need to shoot it wide to get a portrait to pop. The fall off between in and out of focus is lovely even at narrower apertures. More subtle than super-thin depth of focus, but perhaps better for that. (Also, check the infinity focus on the S2A, your screen may not be sitting right, common with these cameras.)

    Hi Guys, Love the channel and all the magical advice. I really like the beautiful camel coloured leather strap on the Nikon FE, where could one of your loyal followers source one from. Kind regards

    Thank you for making this comparison because I don't own such a large variaty of cameras. And could you make some video on 35mm films comparison and tell us which one is your favorite. I am also trying different film by myself but I think it would be very precious to hear your guys' opinions.
