JDMvW Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Yes.<br> I suggest to people who appreciate the new forum, that they post one of their favorites of the 'kind'</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus maurer Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Poor Olympus XA4 macro was sitting in the $10 basket at the photo store with the A11 flash attached. The last of the XA series has a rare 28mm F3.5 prime and macro mode. And yes, thanks as well Josh.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigd Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>Thanks, Josh, for this new forum!</p> <p>This Olympus XA is my latest acquisition, and the only definitely "modern" film camera I own. I consider my Nikon FE to be more "classic", since it offers full manual mode and can shoot (if only at one shutter speed) without a battery. This camera, on the other hand, is usable only as a paperweight without a battery, and shoots only in aperture-priority mode. Fun little thing, though, even if the rangefinder spot can be kind of hard to see sometimes. Once I finish the roll of Tri-X that's in it, if all went well, I'll have some pictures to post..</p> <p><img src="http://craigd.smugmug.com/Photography/Photographic-Equipment/IMG7895/1193172954_X3qu8-L-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="534" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomscott Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>I think it's modern. It takes batteries to operate the shutter.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCL Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 <p>An old friend no longer owned. BUT according to the poll going on right now on PNet, one of the most beloved of the modern film cameras among our viewers.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5083 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>These seem to have been accumulating lately. The N6006, N8008, N60, N70, and N90 are soon to be joined by a really pristine F-801x.</p> <p>To give the modern film cam forum the sensibility that we all enjoy in the classic manual cam forum so much, we should be posting historical-type reviews of our cameras there, like JDM has been doing. I'll be doing so as soon as the weather permits me to get some more shooting in.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>No offense folks, but as this has turned into a photo posting thread, I'm going to move it to the forum that is the subject of the thread....Modern Film Cameras.</p> <p>Glad you are liking the forum though. Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5083 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>Louis, it's a coincidence that you chose your XR-7 for posting in this thread. I just acquired this, my first K-mount camera. Gave it a foam job and am half way through the test roll. Nice camera!</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens shown here bridges to the classic camera era as it requires manual focusing with the 9000's 'focus confirm' indicator.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjferron Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>"So many nice pictures!

You need to keep them 699 or shorter on the long side.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardstanbury Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>Alternatively if the picture is already on the web you can use the picture icon in the editing box to link to it, if you know the URL. </p> <p>And if you have pictures on Flickr you can copy the HTML under the 'Share this' menu, click on the HTML button here, and then paste the copied HTML into the editing box.

Andy Collins Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 <p>I would love to post a pic or two of my favorite MFCs, but I'm currently away from home so it'll have to wait a day or so. Great pictures everyone, and what a fun thread!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 <p>Superb design, infallible automation, excellent lens, pocketable dimensions, a classic in it's own time. One of my all-time favourites.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
