Eh, nah, most of us take it in stride. I was once dragged in the thread cause one dude I just so happen to photograph on the street ended up looking burnt brown orange in the negative. It was Portra 160 VC and white balance was correct, it’s just how he turned out and what he looked like in the harsh sun on that expired film. Checked the phone pic I had taken and the film scan was close enough to what the phone had captured, there was a slight shift due to expiry probably. I tried to fix it but oh well that was the shot. Dudes started pretending to be me and they started arguing amongst each other and one even edited my photo to make him even more orange while pretending to be me defending the photo. Anyway, point is, I think the trolls and the people giving disingenuous critiques are bitter with a thinner skin than the people actually shooting film and posting. Even the other large format anon takes all the bullshit in stride. I’ve had people start threads with my work before and pretending to be me and I had to defend myself and show the roll of film. I don’t think the people earnestly trying to contribute actually get butthurt like the people trying to mock them. Give honest, constructive feedback and I’m sure people will take it.

I contacted Robert White a looong time ago about the PS945 but I never got a response. I gave up on it but every couple of months I remember it again and look it up. I think I’ve settled on the idea that I’ll eventually build a 110/150/210 SSXL kit. Yeah, none of them are really the same thing as the PS945 but I’ve grown to really love the Super Symmars even with their flaws. I actually like portraiture I can do with the 150 and even 110. I’ve yet to get the 210 but I had the chance in March unfortunately the guy wouldn’t budge on the price even when I offered cash. (He was asking 7,000 online and I told him I could do that in person if he also threw in a Summicron he had for sale.)
