Film Camera Week for September 16
Kent T replied to Mike Gammill's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
Mike, some great looking images from that Cinestill/Kodak Double X. I'll need to get me a few rolls of this. And try it out. Makes some beautiful images. -
What are your picks for the most beautiful SLRs?
Kent T replied to JDMvW's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
I find old Brassy Nikon F, and F2 cameras, with a ding or three the most beautiful. These cameras say to me, "Run film through me, I won't let you down". Take reasonable care of me, when I need it. I have character. I worked to take pictures, I have battle scars like you do. I will love you back and serve you the best way I know how. I'm tough, I am authentic, I lived through battle. I am here for you, I have your back. Please have mine back in return. -
What camera(s) are you using this weekend?
Kent T replied to Mike Gammill's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
Mike, I would like to see the 27.5 foot short bulk roll idea make a comeback. That would be a great size load for those who shoot a moderate amount of film. But want to try different emulsions. -

Had similar issues with disraeli gears cycling with an adaptive group recently. The pictures were sure nice I took that outing. Glad you enjoyed the Fujica ST 605N. -

Thank you! Appreciate these tips. Plan on enjoying mine and running a test roll of film. More to come! -

I hope to join you. Not quite a Contax II, but close. Shares tooling. I now own a Kiev 4a of my own. 50 mm/f2 Jupiter 8 lens. How do you rewind film? -

That's a very nice camera. I like Olympus Pens. -

Mike, Mine is used manually and with my Gossen Luna Pro meter. But my meter does function on mine in shutter priority. I love mine for the fact that it's the smallest 35 mm with a rangefinder, manual mode, and the most useful features in a camera it's size. Metered manual is the only lacking feature. -

I hope to finish a roll of Fuji Superia 400 in my Olympus 35 RC. And try to start a test roll in my new to me, Kiev 4A, with a 50 mm/f2 Jupiter-8 lens. -
I like how these images look just fine. Reminds me of the classic Black & White look with nice classic Zeiss or Leitz glass. Your photos are superb. Keep them coming.

Here's an image for the 7th. Konica Auto S2, 45 mm/f1.9 Hexanon lens. I shot the image at f/8, 1 1/125 second, on Fujicolor Superia 400 film, using my Gossen Luna Pro meter. Enjoy!

Loved Tennis in High School. Play in my wheelchair when I have the opportunity. Enjoy it as always.

Maybe, but still an excellent manual focus option.

This Nikon is excellent if you want a motor winder. Big thing. AutoFocus speed on this model is laughably slow. Mount a nice AI or AIS manual focus lens on it, which doesn't need mirror lockup (Series E will even do fine). Focus it manually, it's a nice camera, and Bob's yer uncle. 2020 is known as Rover, a Dog of an AF camera. Manually focused, it's a nice camera.

Why not an image for June 6th. Shot this with my Olympus 35RC, 45 mm/f2.8 Zuiko lens. Used Fujicolor Superia 400 film, f5.6, 1 60th second exposure. Used my Gossen Luna-Pro meter.
-
Here's another image, enjoy! I used my Konica Auto S2, with Konica Hexanon 45 mm/f 1/8 lens. f8, 1/125 second. I used Fujicolor Superia 400 film, and my Gossen Luna Pro meter.
-
Here's one more image for you folks. Olympus 35RC, 45 mm/f 2.8 Zuiko lens. 1/125 second, f8, Fuji Superia 400 film was used, with my Gossen Luna Pro meter.

Here's some images from that Konica Auto S2, it's maiden roll. Hexanon 45 mm/f/1.8 lens. Fujicolor Superia 400 film,f/5.6, 1/125 second

According to a well known Yashica repairman I knew, the 124-G tooling sustained a lot of wear and tear over that 16 year production run. -

The more I use my example, the more I like it. My favorite rangefinder compact out of those I've owned. The perfect street camera for me. -

If you dislike it that much, I do adopt Yashica TLR. And I miss mine so much it hurts. And yes, like you I like the older ones better. Enjoy yours. -
My favorite Olympus compact is the 35 RC. (I shoot a lot of film with mine) I love both the OM-1 and OM-2 (though I have never owned one myself). I love non Selenium metered Olympus Pen half frame cameras, and love the Pen F SLR family.
-
I love both cameras when working right. But favor the FM by a bit, and also the FM is all mechanical which also for me is bonus points. I love the FE very well, too. Sover Wong might be able to repair your FE.
