Mike Gammill Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Ektacolor Type S- my dad used to use that to photograph weddings with a Mamiya Super Press 23. By the time I started photographing weddings the pro film was Vericolor. Trying to get in as much photography as I can before I return to the classroom. Kentmere 100 in my Minolta XE and Panatomic-X (from early 80's) in my Minolta SRT 101. Later today I'll have a 100' roll of Ilford Pan F+ to feed one of my bulk loaders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Not trying to reminisce too much on this thread but I actually did shoot a roll of Ektacolor Type S in 35mm: my sophomore year in high school I built a solar furnace as a science fair project. I borrowed my dad's Mamiya Sekor 1000 TL with its 50mm f 1.4 lens to document its construction and its use. My dad had it rush processed just in time for him to deliver photos to me just as I was setting up my project display. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary_chin1 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 When I worked at a portrait studio in 1975 Ektacolor S was the go to film. Our color lab was selling 120 Ektacolor S for $.95 a roll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 An old workhorse with a newly-cleaned lens. I have a new roll of Ilford Delta 400 to test and the metering in the RTS is about as reliable as it gets. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon_dragon Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 An old workhorse with a newly-cleaned lens. I have a new roll of Ilford Delta 400 to test and the metering in the RTS is about as reliable as it gets. [ATTACH=full]1351211[/ATTACH] That is great to see. The RTS was a great camera. I had a 1 and a 2 but neither of them have survived to today, broken down and useless due to electronics issues. My Aria and RTSIII is still going, but the RTSIII required a part about 5 years ago that required over a year and the only reason I got it done was that my repair person used to be a Contax/Yashica employee and knew someone in Japan who might have the part. It's tragic that these Kyocera/Yashica cameras (the SLRs and the Gs and even the Ts) are just so delicate these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Contax offered an infrared remote for the RTS. At the family camera shop we never stocked the RTS, but the lesser expensive 137 and 139 (which had covering issues). The wireless remote wouldn't fit those two without an adapter. However it did fit and worked fine with the Yashica FR. I remember attaching the wireless receiver to the FR and and a bright lightning flash would trip the shutter.

Rick_van_Nooij Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Shot a roll with the Pilot-Super with a 10.5cm f/4.5 Anastigmat (right) The lens needed cleaning and the focus was clearly messed around with. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary_chin1 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 73' Nikon F with 85mm f1.8 Nikkor lens. This was my first F, purchased in 1972, I used it in high school as a yearbook photographer, in college at Brooks Institute of Photography and at work-Sandra National Laboratories. I still use it today, it always works and I know what the results will be. Another plus is that it looks really cool. This is it for my assortment of F's, I saved the best for last. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary_chin1 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Minolta SR-1s with 28mm f3.5 Rokkor lens. This is a great camera to use simple controls, nice size, light weight and uses affordable Rokkor lenses. It was CLAed by John Titterington. I use it as an alternative to Nikon and Leica. Up until a couple of months ago Rokkor lenses were very cheap to purchase. This combo was put together for about the price of an inexpensive dinner. I personally think the SR-1s in one of the prettiest camera around. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christer_medin1 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Assuming I can locate some film before the weekend (may have to stoop to purchasing a disposable camera and extracting the film from that) it will be one of the two below. The 35RC was the reason I bought a large lot of miscellaneous gear, and it was every bit as nice as I'd hoped. Ordered a new light seal kit for it since it's a cheap, easy thing to do, but overall it seems in excellent mechanical condition, including the light meter. The SL2 MOT was bought to resell but now that I am holding it in my hands I think it might stick around for a while. It's a heavy beast but just oozes mechanical quality. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary_chin1 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Love the Leicaflex SL2 MOT, there were only about a thousand made. The 35mm Summicron is a great lens, hope you keep the combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christer_medin1 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Love the Leicaflex SL2 MOT, there were only about a thousand made. The 35mm Summicron is a great lens, hope you keep the combo! Yes, I got it with the 35 and 90 (which I am selling since I don't care for that focal length). Gotta figure out a slight wobble in the lens barrel of the 35, but that's all part of the fun. The optics are excellent. According to the serial # the SL2 is from the batch made in 1976 mixed in with non-MOT SL2s and not from one of the dedicated serial # batches.

rick_drawbridge Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Beautiful Leicaflex, Christer, a rare one indeed. This weekend I'll take up some rather neglected MF gear, in the shape of my favourite old Bronica S2a. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick_van_Nooij Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 2nd attempt with the K.W. Patent Etui. No plans for the weekend yet though. Last time I used this one it had a light leak in the roll film holder and the shutter was a bit iffy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
