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
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.

Not sure how to read that. Good or sarcastic?

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. |
