Vintage film cameras

Yeah. Either that or a 100-300 would be the options I guess. 200 fixed would stop down a little more.

For what, you have to ask?

[yokohama]

For the pandas!

Pandas can't use cameras!

[yokohama]

Lol.

Well I just invested £9.99 in a chunk of Kodak plastic, an EK8. I do say invested as I spotted it in a charity shop (I've been poppin' tags) and they go for about £20-30 on the Bay of Pigs. Rangefinder works, bellows good, looks clean, lenses are good, no idea how to put batteries in it, and can't find a manual on line. It is fugly.

One of these?

That's the one

Where will you get film? I thought Kodak got banned from doing instant due to patent infringement? Or will you use Fuji?

[johnnyrod]

You can adapt Fuji though I think it's a couple of stops too fast, but then make a Waterhouse stop or tape an ND filter over the lens, or even shoot through a pair of shades. That'll be a problem for the buyer though. It does have an adjuster for the shading of the pics, basically a filter that partly covers the meter sensor, so you can adjust your pictures lighter or darker, nice touch really. I've checked it out, it's fully working, short of film testing it. Will give it a clean and get it listed at the weekend, seems to be the best time for maximum, erm, exposure.
