Film Camera Week for May 19

[Mike Gammill]

Greetings, all, and welcome to our new thread.  Post all the images you like from any film camera.  I'll start with some from a roll of Rollei Retro 80S that I processed and scanned earlier in the week.  Camera was Minolta XE with lens described with picture.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's images.  Today is last workday of the school year so I should have more time over the next 2 and 1/2 months.

A few test shots from the Lomography Belair 6x12. Arista EDU 100 in F76+ 1+9.

First shot I forgot to zone focus, but kind of like the effects.

Some nice stuff here!  RickD inspired with the T90?, JamesB has Distagon too far in the Great Smokies, MikeG too, nice "wides" sharp Rokkor lenses. LuisT's gritty street shooting.. that first one with the sailors.. GRReat  
Myself? I will once again feature "the greatest hits"  from last year. I chose these two similar cameras now. They were not really "on par" for ther market time, Their age is late 70s early 80s??.
Amazingly, I have no pics of the "my" cameras, but these models are well known.  The Olympus OM10 was given to me from a colleague. The Yashica FXD, also a gift through this generous forum.
Both are using 28mm wide angle lenses and likely both are using yellow filters.
....as I've been known to use....Apx100 D76 1:1

Mop portrait. Toyo 45 Field with an Osaka 120mm lens. Film was Tmax 100 which I thought was HP5! Did not come out too bad considering. F22, one second. With sheet film you need dot the I’s and cross the t’s or you have problems.  
 

[rick_drawbridge]

Some from the Minolta SR-7 with the 58mm Haiou-64 f/2 lens I pictured over in the "What camera weekend..." thread. The film was Kentmere 100 developed in Adox FX-39II.

A little late to the party this week. I indulged a bit over the extended weekend.

 

 

Finished a roll of expired Agfa film that was in my Contax D, featuring a CZJ 50mm f/2.8 Tessar.

Last roll I shot in this camera was Amophot PO 100 Clear Ortho film, and the thick carrier caused some problems with the film transport.
Well, I was wrong to think the thin Agfa film would have less problems. Turns out dried grease under the rewind knob was causing a bit too much resistance adding strain to the film as it was being drawn from the cartridge by the sprocket wheel. Causing some scratches on the emulsion and the sprocket holes looked a little stretched.

I've re-lubricated the rewind knob and it feels much smoother now.

Rick I hope those are not your camera repair tools in that last shot! 😬

Heh, you'd be surprised at some of the more creative camera fixes I've done with big and heavy tools, including a blowtorch and a rubber mallet. 😒😅

[Mike Gammill]

My basic tool kit would not be good for camera repairs as is consists of two items: duct tape for stuff that moves, but shouldn't and WD40 for stuff that doesn't move but should.

I have, however, unstuck a few aperture blades with Ronsonol.

I always enjoy reading about everyone's repair efforts.  And great photos, everyone.

Likewise, the easiest "repair" I've ever tackled was 2 drops of lighter fluid on the shutter blades of a Minolta Hi-matic 9, which was listed cheap and "Shutter not working", other than that, the camera is smick (that's Aussie slang for close to new condition).
