Vintage film cameras

[Kenzie]

Cool, what did you shoot? I just ordered some Bergger 400 black and white in 120 and a roll of Washi S from Analogue Wonderland.

Washi S should be interesting. I was looking at that when I ordered films but bottled out. Look forward to seeing how it comes out.
Only random shots on the film from the OM4. It looks like it's come out OK but I won't know for sure until I scan it. I poured 3 quid down the drain literally when in a fit of madness, I emptied the fixer into the sink instead of back into the storage bottle.

I have a ferrania box camera in a canvas case, and an Ilford Sportsman in a leather case. Does anybody know if they are worth anything ?

Ilford Sportsman is a fairly basic consumer camera and quite common. Unlikely to be worth more than £10 at most. I have a Dacora Dignette, an East German camera the Sportsman is based on. When I discovered it wasn't worth much, I decided to put a film through it, just for fun, and that started me off on a mad phase of camera acquisition. It's dangerous, don't go there!
Kenzie is much more knowledgeable on box cameras, he'll be able to tell you about the Ferrania, I'm sure.

Have you got a picture of it? We could have a look and see what they go for. I remember a certain somebody popping in here to value some unwanted gear...

Hi enrico, the Ferrania might be a bit more, hard to tell - pics!

will try to post pics. Think the last time I tried I could only do it as an avitar !

I scanned the film from the OM4 last night, no scratches this time and it's come out OK. I'd be interested on thoughts on the following:
How in hell to cut the negatives in the right place and in a straight line.
Editing - is it better to do this while scanning and use the inbuilt software or scan an unedited tiff file and then use photo editing software on that?

I just use small scissors and count six frames (max for my holder)

I'm using small scissors too but I can't seem to cut in the little gap between the frames or get the line straight.
