rick_drawbridge Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) I'm exercising Voigtlander Prominents this weekend, big clunky cameras, but magnificent build quality with fine lenses. Edited June 27, 2019 by rick_drawbridge 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Bowes Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 One more roll of film in the Fed-3 / N-61 until a "new" Jupiter-8 goes up front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 A mix of classic and modern for this weekend. Rollei 35 with Tri-X Maxxum 8000i with Maxxum 100-200 f 4.5. Will also use Tamron 24-70 as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomspielman Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 My attempt to use my Isolette two weekends ago resulted in 15 frames of light leaks. After figuring out where the leak was coming from and making a temporary repair I was excited to bring it on a trip to the JO volleyball nationals in Orlando last weekend. However, when I went to load the film I discovered that I'd left the empty take-up spool at home. So this weekend will be my 3rd shot at it. I'll be more scientific about testing my lens collimation than I was the first time around. I love being able to shove the camera in a pants pocket though it's definitely not super light. If all goes well I'll make a more permanent repair and probably put it up for sale. Then try to find something a little more modern that's not much bigger or heavier.

jon_shumpert2 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I went to my niece's wedding today and took my FM2N along with 3 lenses. I shot one roll of Arista EDU 400. I used my 50/1.4 for all but a few shots and my 105/2.5 for the others. It was fun. I will develop the film some day this week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In addition to my digital I took out my Leica iif with a CV 21/4 on it loaded with a roll of Tri-X. Didn't finish the roll but will probably do so during the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 Looking forward to seeing some photos from the wedding, Jon. I used to do weddings as a sideline for many years, but decided to give it up after I began to see most couples using two photographers. Also don't do portraits anymore as well. My wife seems to think we need a 300 dollar commercial photographer to photograph our granddaughter. Fine by me since I can still take all the casual photos I like. And when the wife's family (especially her overly thrifty sister and husband) want me to do pictures for free I'll just give them the name of the 300 plus pro that my wife wants to use LOL. Bottom line, I take photos for my own enjoyment and to share these days. When my oldest son got married I shot a couple of candids using a Sigma 90mm f2.8 macro with Minolta XE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH=full]1301074[/ATTACH] I had my close-relative Vito III out for some shooting last week. The f2 Ultron is a lovely lens! My shooting friend this past weekend was my Leicaflex SL-2.

Mike Gammill Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 A "hybrid" classic, if you will. Classic Pentax SMC-A 50mm f 2 lens on a Modern Pentax ZX-5. The AF no longer functions on the ZX-5 but the AF indicator in VF will still light and beep when focus is reached. Loaded with Plus-X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjferron Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 My Toyo Field 4x5 and 120mm Osaka 6.3 lens. Probably Tmax 400 for film. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Having used a Voigtlander Prominent last weekend, if the weather improves I'll try to get out and about with the pretty Voigtlander Vitessa. Vitessa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If it cools down a bit, I hope to finish a test roll in this pristine Kowa SETR2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 That's a beautiul Kowa, Dave. It's certainly unusual to find one in such nice condition, with the bonus of having it actually working. I've made a couple of attempts to find a usable example, with no success. Great lenses, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m42dave Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks, Rick. It seems to work perfectly, including the meter. Hope have a few photos posted in a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 The Kowa SE T was available at an attractive price in its day. I found an old photo magazine and noticed that the Kowa often sold for about the same price as a fixed lens rangefinder. I look forward to seeing the Kowa photos.

SCL Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I'm planning to take my Leica M2 and possibly my Contax RX...just depends on the weather. Finally fouund some Plus-X and I'm anxious to give it a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Got some Fomapan in the Certo Super-Dollina this week. For the weekend I'm planning to shoot some 127 format film in a Vest Pocket Kodak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Gammill Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 Just the right size to take along on a cycling trip. Plus-X is the film. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Decided to shoot another camera to a multi-period living history event this upcoming weekend. Folmer & Swing 'top handle' Speed Graphic 4x5" from the Great War. Will load some sheet holders with Fomapan 100 later this evening. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bryant Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Nikon FM2n with Zeiss Otus 85mm f 1.4 lens. The lens is munual focus with am aperture ring making it compatible with the all mechanical Nikon bodies that I use. It also works with the Nikon F6. It is also an apo lens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlefye Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I still have a few shots on a roll of 50 ISO Ilford in the Leicaflex SL-2, but hardly enough for a nice weekend's shooting. So, how about (shall we call it) Folder Friday? The question is, which one? DSC_4981 by fiddlefye, on Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Peri Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 There's an "almost" hurricane sitting off the Louisiana coast right now, so I won't be leaving the house this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
