I've been using an earlier masterpiece, the pen FV for
two days now for a small project, loaded with portra 160.
What a fine camera that is. The pen F series were my
first encounter with a mirror-reflex and I think that may
have caused my preference for portrait orientation in pictures.
The joy of using something mechanic is incomparable
to digital. There is a tactile quality in that camera I've yet
to see in a digital (maybe the e-P1 has it, but I doubt it...
the M8 might be a candidate, but is probably too big)
I'm at frame 46 right now... 28 to go today in honour to
Maitani :).
