Rollei in Rollei. Looks like f/16 was way too under. I really wish the Belair had an adjustable speed rather then this random guessing game.

    You should sell the Belair and get yourself a GW690II, dont get interchangeable lenses but its Fujinon is super sharp, and it produces huge 6 x 9 negs... and of course full manual settings so situations like this do not occur

    @jourdanlynch :D Oh I know, I know. The a Fuji 6 x 9 is something I've been trying to get for a numbers of years now. I just haven't been able to land a deal on one yet. I'm seriously considering it. But also I'm looking at trading up on some digital gear. Just something that has to happen every so often right?

    It is a awesome camera, seriously worth getting. I am sure you can pick one up for not much more than a Belair. I have been using my Fuji for about 3 years and its a dream. not to mention it's also a rangefinder... so accurate focusing when shooting wide open, I'm not sure what the Belair is like for that. Here's a photo I took on mine 2 years ago.

    @jourdaniynch Exactly. I own a Mamiya C33 and a 645, hand meters little pocket range finders in meters and feet. I'm just use to a certain amount of precision I guess. Or at least with a camera like the Diana all the factors are known and set. I rolled the math around in my head; I think I can lose the Belair and the lenses; without taking to bad of a hit. Only reason I bought the Belair was that I had a ton of piggies; so I'm not deeply invested at the MSRP level. But Fuji's are highly desired on ebay :D It's gunna be a bidding war!
