Chad Hill<p>Shooting with the repaired GR1 (fixed flex cable) is a delight. I liked this camera when the displays didnt work, but it’s even better fully functional!! 😅
Have been carrying, it while out surveying, in this little Patagonia bag.

Chad Hill<p>Camera gear travel prep. Still not sure at all what I’m bringing.
But fixing the L and visiting with an old friend that I am sprucing up with some new batts. The s100 is still such an awesome camera, and even more rad with CHDK! I had as many as 6 at one point! 😅😅

Chad Hill<p>Fun fact: I didn’t shoot it for years because I thought the camera had flooded/failed in a heavy downpour while out sea kayaking, but it later turned out it was dead batteries and then mis-loaded replacements! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23CameraGear" target="_blank">#CameraGear</a></p>
Chad Hill<p>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!

Chad Hill<p>Mini Review:
I always wanted a Domke F2. When I was a teen they screamed PRO.
Got one cheap+used, and this is the first trip with it. I love it. Converts easily between transport and ready-to-shoot.
Soft, fast, and comfortable to carry 1 slr, couple lenses, and 1 P+S.

ThomA couple of new additions to the family: the 23mm f/1.4 and the 16mm-55mm f/2.8 now joining my 33mm f/1.4. <br>
<br>
Look forward to shooting with these. <br>

Chad Hill<p>Film and Digital, Jordan, Summer 2025
My primary two cameras this season (F100, K1-ii). I quite like this pair of gripped beasts, together.

Chad Hill<p>Bummer: my Bessa-L jammed and I can’t fix it until I get home.
Rad: managed to grab a nice Olympic Fed 5b/industar 61 l/d 2.8 from a local seller in Amman for cheap!
Bonus: seller threw in a Keystone 126! 🤷♂️😅

Chad Hill<p>Camera gear in the field: Primary film setup this season is this Nikon f100 with a combo of a 24-120 f4 vr (vr with film = 🤯!), 17-35 2.8, and 50 1.4.

Chad Hill<p>Not sure about this 3d printed “low profile” hood for the Pentax 50 1.4 on Printables.
It doesn’t vignette, is styled after the limited 40mm, fits well, and looks neat?! Blocks the cap and threads, though. 🤔
Meanwhile the cheap rubber hood I have vignettes slightly!🤦♂️

Chad Hill<p>Sweet! This came out pretty great. Just finished this 3d printed 12x film transport box. A little better than the 5x boxes I had been using.
