What camera(s) are you using this weekend?


Recommended Posts

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.

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 Shot some HP-5 and some out of date Superia that has lived in the freezer for some time.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.

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??

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.

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.

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
