Vintage film cameras - Page 403 - SV650.org

Coincidentally I saw an ad in Cardiff I think for a pair of underwater APS Canon cameras, looked a bit like yours admin, round and green. Took me a while to figure out what they were. You can pick up APS on ebay of course, I don't know if there's a way of DIYing it with new film. The negs are quite small from what I've just read though so not sure there is a lot of point in the real world.

Re. too many cameras, yeah we all went a bit nuts and collected a lot of things - some more than others! I've sold the ones I'm not very attached to, but trying not to have a pile of too many others that I won't use or don't want for a reason. It's worth maybe selling a few to fund something more pricey, and as Yoko says, these things don't seem to lose their value anyway. Christmas is coming too! I might have one or two things to put on the list, might have to be quite prescriptive about it. Also Peak Imaging vouchers and/or film.

Yes this camera has rubber sealed doors, so I'm guessing it's weather proof. I might get a film out of interest and get it processed at Palmlabs. APS is a lot smaller and was derided at the time when it came out because of that. It did mean that some compact cameras could be made smaller though. The main reason it was pushed is that it made it easier for the processors such as Fuji. Annoyingly you don't get the negs back like 35mm, instead you get the cassette back with the film in and a contract sheet. Storing the cassettes is not as convenient as using neg sheets.

Just tried it again. Works on Superia but not on Kodak so I guess it's only on some brands, not all

Tried it on sx70, and it doesn't work. Oh well.

Wow, that's some serious gear! Could go crazy there! That Perkeo sold for 12.50 in the end. Any of you bid?

Yep. Quite a collection there. Wonder if he plans to sell them all.

Thinking about it, maybe on my Christmas list! I'm honestly trying not to buy stuff, unless it's to trade, I feel the same way about it just getting in the way. The trading pays for other stuff, but it also means people get to buy things with some actual information about them - unlike 99% of ebay ads - whether they work or not. Sometimes I look at ads that aren't really a bargain but look okay and I might pick it up to sell on for that reason. Not sure I've actually done it yet...

Don't say the C word. It's too early!
