What camera(s) are you using this weekend?

Off on a long weekend with the family to the coast. Weather's going to be grey mostly.

Bringing the Leica M3 DS (with 50mm f/3.5 Elmar-M) and the Leica M-E (with Summarit 50mm f/1.5)

Today (Friday) my "new" Zorki -Jupiter8 & a Fed-2 with the Jupiter-12 (35mm wa) will cover the Port Susan Farmers Market. Sat & Sun I am going to gulp a brave pill & load a roll of Fuji 100 in the mentioned Fed & wonder about with the "new" lenses (35mm & 135mm Jupiter-11). . . Fall colors are here! Time permitting, another roll of the Kodak so2238 will be tested...perhaps even scanned!! Bill

Weather has cleared up in time for Balloon Fiesta--hope to finish a roll of Ektar 100 in the FED 4, and maybe take along the Praktica MTL 50 with a mirror lens for some tele shots.

I will finish up the roll of Kentmere 100 that I started in my Minolta XE. Currently attached is the Sigma 135mm f3.5 mini tele. Also have my 28mm Minolta MD Celtic in the bag too. My parents gave me this lens for Christmas in 1979. Still works and looks great after all these years.

I just finished a roll of Pan F+ in my F6 and started a roll of 400TX (Tri-X) in one of my FM2n Nikons.

Rolleicord Vb with Pan F+, last roll of a June 2016 expired batch.

I have several Nikon FM2N cameras for sale, so I'll be out finishing the rolls of film in the cameras Sunday.

FM + Nikkor 50 mm f1.8 AFD + Arista Edu 100

 

Canon P + Industar 50mm f3.5 + Kentmere 400

 

Ricoh R1S + Kentmere 400

Rolleicord Vb with Pan F+, last roll of a June 2016 expired batch.

 

That's one fine TLR.

That reminds me- I should give my Rolleicord III some exercise. Might put one of my last rolls of Agfapan 100 through it soon.

Weekend (Oct 20-22) forecast here in Puget Sound is wet & windy but my trusty "sun" bumber shoot & a parka should help me & the cameras to survive. Bill

I should really put a roll of FP4+ through my Zorki 4K and I need to try out a Carl Zeiss 45 2.8 T* Tessar on my 139

I've still to take a decent pic of the Tessar :)

@kendunton- that little 45mm f2.8 Tessar is a great lens. I don't use mine enough. I keep mine on a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000 to make a light, compact, battery independent package.

Some very nice bits of kit being banded around on this thread.

 

This weekend I'll more than likely be using my Canon F-1.

I had one that came with my original 139. For some reason I gave it away... The new owner enjoys it (he's on the mflenses forum) so c'est la vie!

I have bought a replacement!

In the mood for rangefinder this weekend so I think I'll run a roll of Kentmere 100 through my Konica Auto S1.6. I also discovered that my Yashica Lynx 14E has a roll of film in it (Fuji Superia 200 most likely) so I may take some shots with it.

Canon EF the Black Beauty

If the weather holds, I'll be attending an airshow this weekend. I plan to pack light for a change and take only two or three cameras:

 

My only digital worth mentioning is a Sony NEX 7. For a lens, I'll pack a manual focus one. I''m leaning toward my Tokina AT-X 100-300mm f/4 SD (a great zoom, btw)

I want to take a 35mm camera. Probably my Nikon N80 with a Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED lens.

And I'm thinking about taking my Pentax 67 with a couple of lenses -- a 300mm f/4 and a 45mm f/4.5.

Had plans to go to Flanders this weekend, visit the WW1 Dugout under the church at Zonnebeke that's been temporarily opened to the public (until the 10th of November).

But I appear to have a number of birthday parties I have to attend making the trip not worth it.

 

So I guess I'll have to find other stuff to do in the down time. Still, got half a roll of film in a PEN F and half a roll of film in a Leica IIIc. We'll see what comes in front of the lenses.

I am leaving for China on Friday. Am traveling light so taking my Nikon F2 for Tri-X film and Nikkormat EL for color film. Only taking 3 lenses: 50mm, 35mm and 28mm.

Already started a roll of Kentmere 100 in the Konica Auto S1.6. Will probably finish, process, and scan it later today. I haven't used my Spotmatic F in several months so I may take it out as well.

Nikon FE + Zeiss Distagon 35mm f2 + Orwo UN54

I am mending pretty well, so maybe before winter strikes I can try again with my two early digital cameras (I know, but these are based on film cameras, will that do?)

Kodak DCS 560 (1998) and Pro-SLR (2004)

 

The 560 came without the "IR" filter, so here is a picture taken with a R72 filter

 

 

Lots of megapixels and full frame, but very pricey originally.

For this weekend it's a "tale of two Pentaxes": Spotmatic F with 50mm f 1.4 and ZX-7 with 50mm f2.8 macro. Kentmere 100 in the Spotmatic F and Eastman 5222 in the ZX-7.
