<p>Wow! Great job using 3.2 MP camera.</p>

<p>I used to love my 1.3 MP pencam back in the day. It was just fun to use and tiny.</p>

<p>I like Snapseed for editing photos.<br>

645 Pro is nice as a camera app.</p>

<p>I wonder if there's a market for a small digi-cam with downloadable apps to give you those hipstamatic type effects without having to buy a smart phone...hmm.</p>

<p>Wow, it would be great but it does seem like a difficult sell. I'm always on the lookout for more 127 films.</p>

<p>Has EFKE R100 B&W 127 film been discontinued?</p>

<p>Interesting...Thanks for the post. I guess as long as I know there's a grid pattern if I buy it I can work with it as is.</p>

<p>Haven't had that around here for a few years now. Besides I always got what I paid for in fingerprints and other mistakes by people who knew nothing about developing film.</p>

<p>Thanks for posting the question. I was hoping there would be a rangefinder app but I still don't see any, besides golf related ones that don't really apply to photography.</p>

<p>Wow! Beautiful images. Many of these images have a meditative feel to them. Love the creamy colors on the boat photograph.</p>

<p>Some nice shots. I really have to dust off one of my film cameras and take some photos.</p>

<p>Nice sharp photos. Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>While I'm not a beginner in photography, I have a beginner type question.</p>

<p>I have always been careful to avoid exposing my film to excessive heat...until this last weekend.</p>

<p>I went to the Palm Springs area where they had 100 degree heat on Saturday, and I left my camera bag in the car in a spot that seemed safe at the time. I didn't realize I would be so long and when I got back to the car the bag was in full sun (in a closed car) and the bag was really, really hot. Luckily I hadn't used any of the rolls yet (two rolls of 35mm and three rolls of 120).</p>

<p><strong>My question is what effects does extreme heat have on B&W film?</strong> Should I throw the rolls out or experiment with them and see what turns out, knowing well that maybe nothing will turn out?<br>

Lesson learned just the same.<br>

<p>Why do I get the nagging feeling this little $5 camera is going to cost me more than I realized. </p>

<p>I guess if I could get my hands on a cartridge that fits this camera I could load and develop it myself. I noticed Tri-X B&W 16mm film is available for about $22 for 100 ft.<br>

Alex</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies.<br>

I will try to contact the guy in Minnesota about buying a loaded cartridge and see what happens.<br>

Alex</p>

<p>Sorry about that, hopefully the image comes out here.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everyone,<br>

I saw this little guy at an antique store today and couldn't resist buying it for $5. It's a Minolta 16 P that used the obsolete 16mm film cartridges. The shutter is working fine and the apertures are working as well. The camera goes from f-3.5 to f-16.<br /> <br /> I noticed there's a guy in Minnesota that advertises selling cartridges, loading film, and developing film from these cameras.<br /> Hmmm...I wonder if I should try that out.</p>

<p>Here is an interesting article on the BBC from a couple of days ago about a Russian photographer and his color photographs 100 years ago.<br>

<p>I was glad to see someone else using this camera. I have this camera as well, and mine is a more muted reddish brown.<br /> Here is a photograph I took using Arista edu 100 black and white film developed in Caffenol.<br>

I can't even use the viewfinder, it is totally dirty or the mirror is oxidized. I just point the front of the camera to the subject and hope for the best.<br>

<p>My Yamato Starlite's body is exactly the same as your camera's body. I have yet to get decent photos from it though. It feels solid, but there is a cheapness to it that I can't put my finger on.</p>

<p>I agree about using good quality materials with a minimum of destruction.</p>

<p>I hate it when I buy an antique camera and find someone has sloppily glued wool yarn all over the place, especially when they've used super glue.</p>

<p>I found this listed and realized I had never seen it before.</p>

<p>Is this a new version of Kodak's BW400CN or are they just getting rid of their old stock of said film? It has a very plain generic package.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>A similar topic came up yesterday when I was having lunch with a female friend of mine; she made the observation that none of the women she knows have hobbies, including herself.</p>

<p>This may be the key to why we don't see more women on the Classic camera forum.</p>

<p>I don't know if the hobby thing is true, but it might be interesting to research.</p>

<p>Great shots there John.</p>

<p>The last two shots peeked my curiosity, and I found this interesting paper model site with a little story on Sir Whittle and the Gloster jet that carried his invention.<br>

Thanks for the post.</p>

<p>For doors I have used flat black felt sheets from the craft store that have an adhesive back that you peel off. I have used them on several cameras including a Ricoh 500G, which needs a seal over the entire inside of the door, and it has worked out great. They are also usually 99 cents at the local craft store.</p>
