Mike Gammill Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's been a while since this question has been asked so I thought I'd give it a try. Post a photo of the camera(s) if you wish. I plan to finish a roll of Ilford FP4+ that I started a few days back in my Olympus 35RC. Since we have sunny weather I'll keep my K2 filter on the camera. I might also use my Ricoh KR5 Super II with its 50mm f2 Rikenon (loaded with Eastman 5222). If time permits I'll also take out my Fujica GS 645 S (Tri-X) for an outing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member69643 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I screwed up the last roll in my Nikkormat EL. I neglected to press down the battery compartment door and it was partly lifting the mirror. Most of my shots were blurry and there was a dark line where the battery compartment door blocked the light path. So the camera's getting a second take out, loaded with Tri-X. I bet I get more keepers. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_bowring Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Canonet 28 and Mamiya 6. Both with Tri-x. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Horton Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I plan on finishing the test roll I loaded up in this camera. It's loaded with expired Kodak Tri-X from the late 70's. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Here's another that I hope to work with: Yashica 44A twin lens reflex. It takes 12 photos on 127 film. It's loaded with roll of respooled Ilford HP5+ (has Kodacolor II backing paper). Taking a neutral density filter along as top shutter speed is only 1/300 second. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Having only two hands, I find my manual dexterity is all filled up with a now-5-month old puppy. We are making some progress, however, and I calculate that I should be back shooting within at most a year. As they say, house-training a puppy is easy. All you have to do is watch them every minute for several days with timely interventions... When I can, I'm thinking it's time again to trot out the king of the DDR cameras , maybe later.

mpressionz Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Nothing vintage... but I will be shooting a few models tomorrow night using the Canon 5D Mark IV, Sony RX10 III, and iPhone 7+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m42dave Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 For light & easy travel, I will probably take the Fujica AZ-1 with 43-75 Fujinon and some color film.  For any digital shots it will have to be a Canon A590IS, which is the only digital camera I own. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two23 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Looks like I have to drive to Seattle this weekend and fly home. I want something small with small lenses, and don't want to carry a light meter. I've packed the Nikon F3T with AiS lenses 28/50/105mm plus a tiny 1895 brass rectilinear lens put into F-mount by SK Grimes. Bringing x2 rolls Ektar and x2 rolls HP5, travel tripod. Will probably go back this summer and will take Gundlach Korona 5x7 and Civil War vintage lenses. Kent in SD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertliang Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Great question!! Will be using the field camera in my moniker pic, with Fuji HRT (Xray film).

rick_drawbridge Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If the rain stops and the cloud lifts, I'll try to get out with one of my favourites, the Canon T70. There are a couple of Tamton Adaptall II lenses I'd like to try on the camera. Canon T70 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Rick- I keep forgetting that I have a T70. I bought a BGN T70 a few years back to go with a 50mm f1.8 Canon lens that had been in a backyard storage shed for about 15 years. It was attached to an AE-1 that was in a junk box from the family camera shop. Camera was junk, but after cleaning up the lens worked perfectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 You should give it a some use, Mike. They're such a user-friendly, fuss-free camera with just enough automation to assist the user without dominating, as well as having one of the best viewfinders ever, a real bonus for my slightly ageing eyes. A landmark camera in many ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajmohan. Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 What a great and diverse set of cameras! I have a 3-day weekend, and hope to stretch the legs of a few cameras, weather and energy permitting - Mamiya Six folder (TMax 400), Yashica FX3 + Contax 50mm f1.7 (TMax 400), Minolta Autocord (Provia or TMax, yet to be decided), Rolleiflex Old Standard (TMax 400) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Evans Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Just loaded up the Nikkormat FT3 with FOMO 400. 5 Tony Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Finished and processed the roll of Eastman 5222 that I shot in my Ricoh KR5 Super II. Instead of the Rikenon 50mm f2 I shot most with a Pentax 135mm f3.5 with a K2 filter. Also took a couple of images with the Tamron 24mm f2.5 Adaptall II. Now, back to the Olympus 35 RC.

Wouter Willemse Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Probably none (just the smartphone), but if I find a bit of time, probably my Canonet QL17, which has cheap, expired Kodak ColorPlus 200 loaded. I was hoping for this weekend to run a roll of Agfa Precisa CT100 through one of my SLRs, but other things came up. Hopefully next week will bring equally nice weather.
