Re: Vintage film cameras
Apologies for the slow reply, I missed your post.
These days I'm pretty much all digital. If I shoot any more film it will be 6x6. I've got a bag full of Bronica SQA gear and it produces awesome...

Re: Vintage film cameras
IIRC, the Nikon FE is almost identical to my FE2 which was one of my favourite film cameras to shoot. Light, quiet, and super simple metering. A real pleasure to use.
So, yeah. You definitely...

Re: Vintage film cameras
Are any of you old camera collectors interested in a Canon T70, or is it too modern??
I've just been given one, but I have plenty of Nikon film cameras so it's not much use to me.

It's an early model Linhof Technorama and definitely shoots 6x17 on 120 roll film.
But it weighs a ton, so these days I just mount my Lumix LX5 on a panoramic head when I want to shoot panoramas.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Not true - all the lurkers come to point and laugh. :-)
Actually I do own 35mm, 6x6 and 6x17 film cameras but they don't see much use. Digital is just too convenient.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Commercial quantities of fixer are generally collected for silver reclamation. For small amounts you can add zinc or iron shavings to precipitate the silver, leave it for a day or two, then filter...

Re: Vintage film cameras
If they're like my holders you can develop a single 120 film in them too. Just rotate the two halves to unlock and change the spacing to match your film. Before you start loading film into them in a...

Re: Vintage film cameras
The first few steps of colour processing are temperature sensitive, unlike black & white which isn't too picky.
Ideally you should use a water bath to heat the chemicals up to the right...

Re: Vintage film cameras
If you're looking for an old fashioned film SLR, I'd suggest the Nikon FE2. I still have mine and it's just nice to use. If you're willing to wait there have been some real bargains on Ebay. Manual...
