Re: Vintage film cameras
I did, nice weather as well. Bit hot in all the gear but better than losing skin! Just as I got home the heavens opened. Got a few shots off from the Portrait Brownie as well as the Comet and the Minolta 16P. My wife is off tomorrow as well so if the weather holds we are going to visit a couple of castles on the bikes.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Sounds good. I've a week off at the end of the month so hoping it warms up a bit.

Re: Vintage film cameras
What SV have you got? Pointy or curvy? Switching from my SV to the wife's ER6f just makes it more obvious how cramped the SV riding position is. Can't say I have seen a snap of yours or Johnny's bikes.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Pointy k4 naked.
Here's a couple I took last year on the Dacora, including an unintentional 'God knows what happened there!' double exposure. Like you, I find it a bit cramped, which is the only problem I have with it. After 2 hours, my legs have practically seized up. Last edited by yokohama; 06-03-17 at 09:23 PM. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
I bet those bars offer a slightly better riding position over the clip ons.

Re: Vintage film cameras
It was a Duo 620. Lost my Perkeo again. Wanted to take it out on the bikes but can't find it. Just found an Auto Albinar special 135mm f2.8 m42 in my collection. No idea what it is like but I just opened it up and cleaned the mech as the aperture return was sluggish.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Well I got away with minimal aches. Only did 57 miles and my butt was numb! I cleaned up the Trip, light seals are toast but the aperture and red flag work ok. Might tart it up a bit.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Sounds like you got another decent little camera there. Did you take any pics on your ride?
