evil_bunnY posted:Sooooo bring a body and flip it if you don't like it? It's like free rental if the price is so good. It's more that I didn't know whether the lens worked okay or not and the shop wasn't local to me. I'd rather have been able to check that it focussed okay or not. That and I am trying to get smaller lenses and reduce the weight that I carry.

You never know! I don't think anyone is looking for good camera stuff in charity shops.

I am sure that Leica stuff will get the attention of many, but I hope that Voightlander and Rollei might slip past the blue rinse brigade.

At a wedding ceremony, I recently attended, the wedding photographer was shooting with a digital Habbelbad, which I thought was kinda cool. But he was also shooting in harsh afternoon sunlight without any sort of lighting. I haven't actually seen the wedding photos yet, but hopefully they turned out okay.

I just arrived in London this morning. I'll be here for the next year so I'm expecting to hear from you Brit Dorkroomers. I don't have a phone yet, so hit me up over PM or mcmadcow at gee mail and let's hang out and take pictures.

Soulex posted:Doesn't matter. Essentially what I do is show up to a party for the bride. I arrive, big hoopla, and much drinking ( holy gently caress do these people drink). At about 2am I am expected to leave and throw my own party later on that day. Sounds a lot like a Polish wedding. If those similarities continue, there will be a lot of tiny fingerfood served with the booze; much of it pickled. Eat that poo poo, it will keep you sane.

evil_bunnY posted:You truly have no idea how lucky you are compared to most american grooms. And yes. If the groom drank as much as most of us at the last wedding I went to, he would have been as hungover as the rest of us for his part of the wedding. I am sure I will be taking pictures again. I just didn't understand how they could hire me as a photographer for my own wedding.
