Classic Manual Film Cameras Friday #13

[Mike Gammill]

<p>No one got this one started so I thought I would. I've always thought water tanks were interesting so I'll start off with a small town water tank that I photographed a couple of years ago. I used a Minolta SRT 303 with 100mm f3.5 Auto Rokkor (in stop down metering).</p><div></div>

<p>OMG WATER TANKS! </p>

<p>Tanks for the memories,<br>

Tanks for everything,<br>

I tank this ben swell (I'm Swedish).</p><div></div>

<p>Tanks, but no tanks, just three frames from a Bronica ETRs, testing a 40mm f/4 lens back from repair. Arista 200 through Pyrocat HD, scans from an Epson V700 Photo.</p><div></div>

<p>Rick, the 40 looks good. Older picture, haven't unloaded all my cameras yet, but the scanner is up and going.<br>

<p>Rolleiflex Automat, 1938, Velvia 50.</p>

<p>Ooooh! And I have to tell someone! I got a load of gear on Wednesday, including:<br>

Canonet QL17 GIII (reconditioned perfectly ....)<br>

Kodak Retina iia (50mm S.K. Xenar 2.0) plus an 80mm SK f/4. I gotta figure out how to use the 80mm... All parts functional, went shooting flowers around the block with no hitches.<br>

Pentax: MG, ME Super, K1000, 50mm f1.7 (2), 50mm f2.0 (2), 28mm, many off-brand zooms (anyone need a K-Zoom?)<br>

Bogen 3221 Tripod with 168 Ball Head and 3265 Pistol Grip<br>

And a ton of other stuff for $150. Christmas in September!!!!</p>

[mrjallen]

<p>Here's one from probably a year ago, but I just got the film developed recently. Nikon FE2, 50mm f/2AI. Fujifilm C200, developed and scanned locally.</p><div></div>

[lex_jenkins]

<p>From about 10 years ago, but rediscovered this week in a box while I was looking for something else. Prints from Rolleiflex 2.8C (don't recall which film) on Ilford MGIV FB warm tone. Left print was developed in Alta Zonal Pro warm tone and toned in Paterson Acutone selenium toner. Great stuff, both discontinued, though I still have some concentrate left. Right print was in neutral developer and either untoned or in KRST. I photographed the two side by side to illustrate the difference warm tone developer and toner can make, since the question comes up occasionally.</p>

<p>Never sure what qualifies as classic, I now have a Canon T70. Unlike most of the motorized Canons, this one uses two AA batteries. (When you buy a camera for $10, you would rather not have to pay another $10 for a battery.)<br>

If it qualifies, I will take some pictures and post them.</p>

[rick_drawbridge]

<p>Tricky, the T70, <strong>Glen</strong>. It's a camera I like very much, but I've always refrained from featuring it on CMC Forum since it's basically a motorised SLR with a choice of shutter priority AE modes or manual, despite the fact that it takes only the old FD manual focus lens. I feel it's sort of on the cusp between this forum and Modern Film Cameras. It would be interesting to see what other members think.</p>

[Mike Gammill]

<p>I'm fine with either forum. In fact, the activity is so low in the Modern Film Cameras forum that I wouldn't be surprised it merges with this forum at some point. But since you're using an a manual FD lens you could say that you're posting here to show off the lens.</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>Again, having been one who argued for the creation of the Modern Film forum, the fall-off of traffic on that forum seems to suggest the wisdom of just having a "Film Camera Forum", since film seems the more critical criterion.</p>

<p>Whatever we do, the last thing we should do is to make CMC more rigid. I am quite sure that part of its success is its flexibility and welcoming nature.</p>

<p>Some other forums are, frankly, too rigid and on that account I have stricken them from my "Unified View" so I am not tempted to post there and impinge on their ritual purity.</p>

 

[rick_drawbridge]

<p>I'd certainly support an expanded definition for the Forum.... BTW, that's superb quality in your "Public Gardens" image, <strong>M.C.Fitz</strong>...</p>

[tony_lockerbie]

<p>I agree, that garden shot has a lovely feel to it.</p>

[Bill Bowes]

<p>Hello everyone. Four or five times a year I bust out of my "normal" life and join my buddies of years road racing Go Karts. No longer in the drivers seat, I now get to run the K1000 and it's lenses taking "their" pictures. Miss the 100+mph speeds, 1.25 inches off the asphalt, but that's life. All pictures K1000 - 250mm, 80s @ 150, Coffenal CCL for 60m, semi-stand. Enjoy, Bill</p><div></div>

[Bill Bowes]

<p>Rain or shine, the race goes on.</p><div></div>
