What are you shooting with right now?

<p>Mostly I use a Graflex 4x5 Super Graphic, but sometimes a 5x7 Speed Graphic, or a 4x5 Graflex Super D SLR.</p>

<p>Yesterday and today, a Zenobia folder, with Tri-X and Acros.<br>

Next: Ricoh Diacord, with APX100 and Retina IIa with Arista LP400.<br>

Life is good.</p>

<p>I've been stuck at home all week trying to get over a cold.</p>

<p>Maybe tomorrow with some early DDR folders I have.</p>

<p>My main walkabout camera is an Isolette III. Also use a Nikon F75 a Toyo 45AII (not classics) and Fuji s5pro, which is a very interesting camera considering it's digital. My Isolette was leaking badly around the bellows and I found a simple repair which re-used the internals of the original bellows.<br>

<p>Oh yes, primarily I shoot Fuji NPZ800 with an E.I. of 600 or TMAX100/400 with this camera, occasionally Fuji chromes, but they're harder to scan. I prefer faster films and stopping down more, it's easy to handhold the isolette at 1/15s. Right now my project is to realise my whole process from visualisation to print. I'm planning on using the printer to produce digital negatives for B&W or straight digital prints in colour.</p>

<p>Here's my old DDR folder - Belfoca with 105mm Feinmess Bonotar f/4,5. Priomat shutter. I had planned to use it next, but the shutter looks to be broken as I tried to set it up, so I guess maybe not....</p><div></div>

<p>My first "good" camera... f stops, shutter speeds and zone focusing, Petri Half Frame Jr. Some fun!</p>

<p>Right now I am shooting with my Retina 1 type 141 with Kodak Gold 100. Couldn`t find Fugi 100 film in my small town.<br />It should be pretty interesting when developed, as the first 3 shots, I forgot to advance the film. Its great to see eveyone enjoying their classics.<br /><img title=""r9" src="<a href=" alt=""r9"" width=""430"" height=""500"" /></p>

<p>Nikkormat FT that weekend.</p>

<p>New weekend, new camera...Canon FTb with FD 35/2, 100/2, and the questionable Vivitar 24/2.8 with the possible fungus (see other thread).</p>

<p>Konica Auto S1.6 (with Tri-X), Olympus XA (with Legacy Pro 100), and Pentax ZX-5 (with Fuji Superia 400)</p>

<p>Along with my M2s, M6s, M7 and M8, and Nikon Fs, F2 and F3 I have rediscovered the joys of the Canon EF. Bought used in 1980 and never failed me. Recently bought it a New FD 85/1.2L.</p>

<p>Yesterday, I used a Rolleiflex 2.8D TLR and a Bessa L with a Canon FD 19mm 3.5 on the Bessa. Today, I am using a Contax G1 with a 45mm Planar, plus a Zeiss Tenax II with a 40mm Sonnar.</p>

<p>Olympus om1 and olympus om1n + zuiko 24mm, 35mm,50mm , 80mm f2, 135mm, zoom 35-----70 all zuiko,kenko 2x teleconverter, auto extension tube 20mm,auto ext tube 36mm.All bought for 250 euro.All stuff older than me but I'm satisfied with it.Then canon eos 500n+28-80 and 80-200 zooms.Also minolta dynax 500+35-70minolta lens.Again kiev 88cm+55mm shift lens+80mm arsat lens+sonnar 180mm f 2,8+500mm f5,6 mirror lens.Also 3 film backs.Sverdlovsk4 lightmeter.Only bw films like tmax both 100 and 400,efke r25, foma t200,fortepan100,txp320. I do darkroom myself.</p>

<p>Andy, maybe you should have defined "right now" a little more rigidly. "Right now" is now over a week old, and I'm into my second roll in a number of the cameras I mentioned earlier. Whew... a marathon thread. P.S. Add my Zenit 3 to the list. ;-)</p>

<p>Isn't the point of this forum to live outside the moment? Now is irrelevant.</p>

<p>I just threw a roll of Ektar in my Zeiss Contarex. I've been craving the polarizing filter for my 50mm Planar, but the wife thinks 50+ for a filter is crazy. I'm also trying to figure out how the Zeiss Proxar filters work. What the heck does f=.2m, f=.35m, or f=1m mean? May have to post about this later.</p>

<p>pentax k1000 my uncle found in his basement. no frills. as i always say, the camera is inconsequential...its the person using it.</p>

<p>Bonifaz, if I'm not mistaken (and I hope someone corrects me if I am) the Proxars are the close up lenses made by Zeiss. I believe f=1 represents focusing for infinity at one meter, f=2 represents focusing for infinity at 1/2 meter, etc... There are tables that tell you what to set the focus for at specifically measured distances. Keep a tape measure handy. I'm pretty sure the distances measured are measured from the film plane. I found an easier way to use the close up lenses. I just got matched pairs, and used them together on a TLR. You have to correct for the parallax, but what the hell. What are the filter threads on your lenses for the Contarex? We have a camera show coming up next weekend, and used linear polarizers are pretty cheap. You won't need a CP for the Contarex. I've gotten quite an array of polarizers, and the most I've paid for any one is $5.00.</p>

<p>Ok here goes, Pentax K1000, Minolta SRT202, Nikkormat FTn, Canon AE1, Ricoh MX2, Argus C3, Argus Super 75, Yashica 44LM, Yashicamat EM, Yashica Electro 35 GS, Minolta Vest and an old Reflecta. Of these, most have been shot in the last 6 months.</p>
