Sandy Vongries Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Who are you calling old? Don't see anyone calling you old, so assume it is a joke in re: attracting younger folks to older cameras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Finished up film in the Minolta XE-7 and Minolta 7S and continued with Rollei 35 (loaded with Ilford HP5+). Also started a roll of Plus-X in Pentax ZX-7 with 50mm f 2.8 Macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 After a long search I finally landed a really fine black copy of one of my favourite cameras, the Nikon FE. This one looks virtually unused, something of a rarity. I'm looking forward to running a film through it. Nikon FE 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen_h Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 This weekend was a Kodak Vest Pocket model B. The roll of VP127 is use by June 1977. As this camera aperture has a scale of 1, 2, 3, 4, and not f/stop or U.S. stop values, I am not so sure the f/ value, but used one of the larger apertures. Turns out that camera has many light leaks in the bellows, and the pictures pretty much didn't work at all. I now have a replacement (new old stock) bellows, but haven't put it in yet. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I have, I believe, a Canon IID2. It isn't so easy to tell some of the II models apart. The shutter seems fine, though on the slowest speeds, it seems to me that timing doesn't start until you release the button. I have been using mostly 60 and 125. Right now, a roll of PHR. Here is one picture from the camera and PHR roll. Note the white spot which seems to be a pinhole in the shutter. It is in the same position for all frames on the roll. Other than that, it seems to work fine. 1 -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_pratt Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yashica TL Electro X ITS and Super Tak 28mm, with newly calibrated light meter. Despite the name, that Atom symbol on the pentaprism means it runs on Plutonium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_ Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Haven't used my 4x5 crown Graphic in a few months, but now ready. Shown with Fujinon 125/5.6 W which is my most used lens. My kit also includes a 90 and 150mm. (Note, rangefinder removed to save on weight). Have a good week... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_van_Nooij Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Went out Sunday morning and finish the roll in the Ikoflex mentioned above. Snapped some shots of the snow before it melted. Hmm, what camera to load up next. I think I've been neglecting my Leicas for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_seary Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Switched from the Nikon FE to my Nikon EM this week for a change. Really small, light camera that I can take to London with me during the day. I also have the Series E 100mm and 35mm. As I'm using colour negative film, I find the meter accurate enough without manual settings. The viewfinder is beautiful for focusing. Is this link useful?

Vincent Peri Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Man, I gotta get out and shoot some film. It's been months since I got over to the French Quarter of New Orleans, because I had a second knee operation and the doctor wanted to play safe and limited how much I could walk each day. This weekend, if the weather is good, I'm finally going shooting with a couple of F3HP's, probably Ektar 100 and Provia 100F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 An old favourite, the Yashica FR-I. I've been spending too much time in the Nikon camp and it's time for a change, though the Nikon FE and this Yashica are very similar cameras...

I've been spending too much time in the Nikon camp and it's time for a change, though the Nikon FE and this Yashica are very similar cameras... At the family camera shop we stocked the Yashica FR, FRI, and FRII. Great series of cameras. I used to borrow the FR from display and use the Contax Infrared remote with it. The remote was so sensitive that lightning flashes would trigger it. I wish I'd kept one for myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Loaded a roll in the Konica Auto S1.6 to save for the weekend but shot and finished it today. Met up with a photographer from New York who was photographing Mississippi store fronts and was using film. Had an enjoyable conversation. Got a roll of Tri-X in my Minolta SRT 101 with MD 35-70 zoom that I will work on next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen_h Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I have a Nikon FT3 with EPP. I forget where I got it, but it was supposed to be kept refrigerated before, and the whole time I have had it. -- glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
