What camera(s) are you using this weekend?


Recommended Posts

Several, although I may not finish all the film: Roll of cold-stored Plus-X in my Pentax ZX-5 with SMC-A 50mm f2 (Af doesn't work anymore so I just use it with manual focus lenses), Minolta SRT SCII with Tamron Adaptamatic 105mm f2.5 and Kentmere 100 Rollei 35S with Fuji Superia 400. and Minolta XE with Sigma 24mm f2.8 and Kentmere 100.

I have an almost finished roll in my Nikon N80. I need to use up the last few exposures. My Canon P is still waiting for me to finish the roll I have in it. And I think my Minolta X570 still has some film left in it.

 

I need to get out this coming weekend and find some place interesting to shoot.

Cassiorenan,

Going back to this old thread -

 

How do I focus on my old manual film camera?

 

could you take a picture of that Olympus from the top showing the numbers on the focusing ring? I am a bit curious about that.

Hi James, I'm at work right now and I don't have the camera with me but the numbers range from 3 all the way up to 24ft (3 - 3,5 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 8 - 12 -24 if I remember correctly) and there's the infinity symbol as well. I will take a pic when I get home.

Just bought for 15 euros Yashica Minister D and other 10 euros for Minolta Uniomat. Exposure meters in both cameras work, Minister seems to have an original mercury battery. Weather permitting (it doesn't look promising) I try to use these both during the weekend.

Weather permitting, run a roll of decent film (HP5 most likely) through a new-to-me Werra 3; I've ran a roll of expired colour film through it as test (developed in Rodinal, just to check if times, frame spacing etc. are consistent) and it appears to be working, at least for the shutterspeeds I am likely to use. The long speeds seem completely off, but I can live with that. I already have a couple of Werra 1 cameras and quite like them, but having a rangefinder is a sure plus.

 

That, and my Nikkormat FT sitting waiting with Delta 3200 for some night-time work.

Still have the rest of the roll of Portra 160 in the Rollei 35S and just loaded a couple of cartridges of Kentmere 100 from bulk for the two Fed2's with an Industar 22 and the Jupiter 8 to see which one I prefer.

 

And just got the old 500C Hassleblad out and loaded the two old backs for that camera with Delta 100 and Agfa APX100 to check the system and backs as it may go up for sale? I haven't decided yet. I have the 500CM that I just had the Lens and a back serviced by Odess and will be sending the body into him for a service so I don't see the need for two different systems of the same. but the 500C is in really nice shape sooo... not sure!
