Re: Vintage film cameras
Reminded me of Pentax. Also, Amatuer Photographer has a big section on film cameras this week, including the Ricoh 500GX

Re: Vintage film cameras
The Seagull looks in great condition. You definitely got a good one there.
The Ricoh 500GX is the one I have. Went out with the 500 today and took a few shots as I want to test it out before taking it with me. Will try to do a few more tomorrow and get it processed this week. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
It's pretty minty. Cames with its box and manual sheet. To car boot or not to car boot. That is the question.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Lol. I'm sure you'll be at the car boot and find something.

Re: Vintage film cameras
More than likely, I feel the one at Woolpit calling me. Its where I found the mju.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Didn't go today, too comfy to get up! Picked one of these up from Ikea:

Re: Vintage film cameras
At least you don't have to assemble it yourself. :)
I was out in York for the morning - fired off a few more on the Ricoh. 4 to go - will finish it off tomorrow. Nothing in any of the charity shops. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
Bit of a dry spell in the charity shops at the moment. Need to respool some 120 to 620 for my Ansco Panda. Hoping to dig the SV out on Thursday and head of to Flixton aviation museum.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
I thought about the SV this morning but the temperature was still in single figures at 7.30 so thought better of it. Maybe I'm getting soft.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
I don't think it has been out since April. Just don't have the time.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
My light seal kit arrived from Aki-Asahi today so I have re-sealed the Lomo LC-A. All it needs now is a test roll through it to check the shutter and make sure there are no light leaks.

Re: Vintage film cameras
My SV is languishing a bit too, but it's less than three weeks until going to Spain! Need a new rad hose which should be here this week, and a lot of luck - I seem to have terrible luck taking it on holiday.
Got my pics back from the Ensign. Hmm. I shot a few wide open (f3.5) but the contrast isn't great, maybe no real surprise. Camera shake is worse than expected, so using 1/25 is a lottery and I even made an **** of 1/50th. One shot at f11 and 1/250 was beautifully sharp though. I have 400ISO Porta for Spain so most for the time I would think I should be using small apertures and faster times. I need to check the focus too at infinity, and maybe add a few distance markers to the dial. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
Plan to take it out Thursday weather permitting. Need to charge it up Wednesday night so its all ready to go.

Re: Vintage film cameras
The X700 is being weird. I thought I would have another look at it. If I wind it on gently then it sticks. If I wind it on forcefully then it will fire. I wonder if a winder would sort it?
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
Something interesting is happening with Polaroid. There is a countdown on their website for the 13th.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Work has been manic this week but that's me just about done apart from boring meetings on Monday.
Want to get my SV on the road a couple more times and then cover it with grease, ACF, GT85 and wrap it up for winter. I found the same with the x700 Kenzie. Give the winder a fast snap and it works ok. Wond on slowly and the mechanism underneath didn't spring back. I like the planes. Not being critical but they seem a bit dark; is it over exposing a little bit - or was it just a dull day?? 4 films of my own to put in over the weekend. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
Not sure to be honest, my Bessa shots were a bit off as well. Might be me metering for the wrong iso maybe.

Maybe they realised how much of a huge mistake they made.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Yep fairly dark pics there but looking good. What are you metering with? Maybe it picked up some backlighting? Even Pocket Light Meter app does. Wonder what Polaroid are up to?
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
I was using light meter app, but I think I may have developed it too hot. My chemicals were at room temp instead of 20c so that may be what has caused it. I am really hoping Polaroid are bringing back their film as they are seeing the Impossible Project making money on it. But the general opinion is that Impossible is rebranding as Polaroid. I managed to lift the hood and focussing screen off the Seagull and wipe the fingerprint off the inside of the viewing lens. Happy now. The Polaroid 300 is just a rebadged Fuji Instax so hoping something awesome is coming.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I read that Polaroid have new owners and the same group own or have a big chunk of Impossible Project. I just want the good old days of film back where it doesn't cost an arm or a leg for eight shots. Would love some 127 film as well.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I loaded up two Minolta 16 carts this afternoon. One with 100 iso Max Speilman film and the other with Kodak Ektar 25. Both cameras are loaded now. Will also reload a 126 cart I have kicking around. Just about finished printing an 8mm take up spool for my projector.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I went digital today. reading articles, watching a couple of videos and playing around with the settings on the OMD EM10. I think I managed to set up a B&W silent shutter street mode setting.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
You would have thought that there would be s quick button for that or is it buried in the menu? I tried out the projector tonight, works a treat.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
Is that for taking pictures of Charlie Chaplin?
BOOM BOOM Dad joke |
Re: Vintage film cameras
There is a button for the Charlie Chaplin mode now. Had to set it all up first though and the menu is damn complicated.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Kodak Portra anyone? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004V3I6...b_recs_2_title
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
I had a tidy up today - and had to buy another storage box. 46 is the current count, +3 digital.
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
Not bad considering you wanted to get rid of the only two you had!

Re: Vintage film cameras
Very true. Didn't dare count the lenses.
Should be some pics back later in the week from 3 of them. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
If you guys could keep only ONE camera from your collection, which would it be and why?
|
Re: Vintage film cameras
Hard to call is that, especially as there's a queue waiting to be used.
I might go for that Minolta Himatic 9 ... at the moment. Great lens and image quality, has a metered manual mode and also works as an auto point and shoot, nice and solid, and will still work on 'sunny 16' without a battery. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
46????!!!!!!!11111one
Holy carp, I think either Pentax Program A because it may not be really vintage but does everything, and does it well. Otherwise I'm torn between the Contessa LKE I have a film in, which is compact and really nice to use, or the Olympus S, which has a better lens though is as hefty as an SLR. |
Re: Vintage film cameras
I would probably say a Trip 35. No batteries, easy to use and reasonably light.
