Re: Vintage film cameras
Nice shots from the 500G Yoko. I need to give mine another go with the new seals at some point.

Re: Vintage film cameras
The seals are a bit of a pain to do but once they are right, it's a nice little machine. Fits in a pocket and easy to use. Lens is perhaps not the sharpest when compared to some similar cameras but it does a fairly respectable job.
Will try to finish the XP2 I have in it over the next week or so and see what it does with black and white. Like you, I haven't been too impressed with the XP2 so far. I think I'll go back to the Kentmere; I really liked that. I wish you hadn't mentioned the Rokkor 1.4 ... you've got me looking at lenses now. WYC have a new website and there's far too many on there |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Don't think I have tried Kentmere. I think I prefer the grain of hp5, xp2 is ok if you want better access to developing. Knowing my luck I'll be outbid on the camera. I mostly want the lens for my X700. Sorry about the lens GAS Yoko.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I have one of those, not used it yet, it's surprising how many times I say that. Has the same seals if I remember rightly

Re: Vintage film cameras
I dropped in to WYC on the way home last night. Picked up an excellent condition m42 fujinon 55mm f1.8, which looks perfect sat on the front of the ST 705.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I wish I had a shop like that down here. Closest is either London Camera Exchange in Colchester or Cameraworld in Chelmsford. I got given a Nikon 50mm f1.8 Series E for my EM slr. So that one is complete now. Just wanting a lens for the X700.

Re: Vintage film cameras
It's very dangerous having a shop like that on my route home. If they have a new year sale, there will be temptation.
Did you win the rokkor 1.4? |
