James Bryant Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Might make a "Last Post" tonight if I can fit it in. Tomorrow off to NZ and Hawaii for 5 weeks. Taking Rangefinders only, Nicca IIIf and Canon P with Canon 50 1.8, Jupiter-12 35mm and Jupiter-11 135mm. While away I shall endeavour to check up on R.D. and B.B. to ensure that they continue to amaze us with their artistry. I will be interested in your experience flying with film.

Mike Gammill Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Found a 36 exposure roll of Ilford HP5+. Loaded it my SRT 101 and shot some photos yesterday with MD 35-70 f3.5. For today (another snow day) I will finish the roll with 55mm f1.7 MC Rokkor PF attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Helmke Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 We've had a fairly rare snow last night and it's so freaking cold out there that the snow has held up all day and expected through tomorrow, a rarity in this part of Alabama. I broke out an FE with a 135/2, an F2 with the 24/2.8 and even took an F4S out with an old mf Vivitar 80-200. Shot some HP-5 and some out of date Superia that has lived in the freezer for some time. I'll be developing film tonight and take the color in for processing in the morning. I did shoot some digital stuff too but shooting the film was for some reason the most fun I've had with a camera in months. Rick H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Rick- you got the same storm we got in Mississippi, but maybe with more snow. I look forward to seeing your results. I developed and scanned my roll of HP5+ this evening so I'll put some of them in for the next weekly thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bryant Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Let me try again. My recently acquired Nikon F2as. Trouble with the program. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Right On Rick ! After ages of Luna Six's, Pentax Spotters, Sekonics & various Westons, I hit upon the small but deadly accurate Pilot. One is in each Fed/Zorki/Isolette kit, also in the 6x9's. Readily available on Ebay for under $25 delivered. Tony give a call when you hit here. I am planning some solar energy consulting on Maui for the last of the month. Lunch again?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_hutcherson Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 James, I approve of the F2AS :) As for me, I have a busy weekend coming up by I have been shooting the snot out of my Hasselblad 500C and plan to keep doing that. Mine was made in 1960 and all my lenses in the 1961-1965 time frame. Plus, until I can re-seal the A12 back, I'm only using the old 12 back(also 1961) that requires using the "peep hole" to start the frame counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Peri Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My trip to New Orleans' French Quarter this weekend got postponed due to frozen Interstate highways.I was going to try out some Nikon FA's and a Nikon F3HP I just got. Oh well, there's always next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Nice F2AS indeed, James. You've inspired me to take down a Nikon FE, a camera I haven't used for a while, and load up a length of Arista EDU 100. I can't recall using the Nikkor 105/2.5 on this camera, so I'm looking forward to a walkabout. Nikon FE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raghu_kuvempunagar Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 That’s a lovely FE Rick! I’ve a Fuji GW690ii loaded with HP5+ waiting to be used this weekend. I might also do some test shots with Nikon FM + Voigtlander 40mm + Arista 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Peri Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Doing some night photography with the Pentax ES II. Ahh, the ESII was my very first SLR camera. Bought it on Nov 4th, 1974. I traded it and a bunch of Takumars for a Leica SL2 because I got tired of screwing/unscrewing the lenses on the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Helmke Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I think I will take an F2 out to the field today and use up a roll of the D100. I need to exercise the shutter. Rick H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Been running low on the faster black & white film (ISO 400) so I ordered 100' of Ilford HP5+. I do have a bulk roll of Tri-X in cold storage that I'm saving for later as I do like it a little better. One roll of Eastman 5222 left (probably 20 exp) that I'm saving for later. However, still got a good supply of Kentmere 100 and Ilford FP4+ in the loaders. Continuing to use my Minolta SRT 101 and Olympus 35RC,, both with FP4+ for this weekend.

Mike Gammill Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Just stuck with the RC35 so far as my wife and I visited my son and his wife to bring (and assemble) a baby bed. So excited for them (and for my wife and as first time grandparents soon) that I didn't have time for many photos. Assembly went okay, but there were a few pieces of hardware missing that we are having shipped to them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 Processed and scanned a roll of Plus-X in my ZX-7. Currently working on a roll of FP4+ in my Minolta SRT 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcelRomviel Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm going to test a Canon P this afternoon, so if it works as advertised I'm going to use it this weekend. Don't know yet which 50 mm lens I'll purchase with it, either a 1.8 or a 2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
