Vintage film cameras

[Kenzie]

Bit like Flickr, as long as you tag it then its easier to find what you want. Takes effort though. We are taking the bikes out next weekend for a nights camping in north Norfolk, had it booked way before the lockdown so will be nice to get away from the house even for a night. Its a test run for our Edinburgh and back road trip plan.

Yoko, do you have a grip for your EM10?

I never bothered with the grip. I haven't used a big, heavy lens that makes me think I need one and the Ibis helps with stability. A grip makes the camera less compact and I think the mark 2 has a slightly more pronounced grip on the camera body than the Mark 1

Johnny. Keep the turntable. Sell it and you'll only regret it later

Kenzie, have you had much chance to play with the EM10?

[Kenzie]

Only briefly played with it, I'm back at work now so a little short of time. We are taking a small camping trip on the bikes this weekend, only a night away but better than nothing. The sun was setting and the light through the window was just right.

Nice photo. I took this week off work and it rained nearly everyday. I managed to get out for a day's walking in the Dales on Wednesday.
I hope you have better weather at the weekind. You'll be taking a couple of cameras I guess.

I haven't really given it much thought, been too wrapped up with work. Now you have mentioned it I don't know what to take!

The Certo Super Dollina arrived the other day. The shutter did fire, but after trying it on B and T, it won't cokk now. Blades don't fully open on B or T either now, I think it's gunged inside. Focus isn't too smooth and it generally looks in need of a good clean. The lens is fairly clear, a bit hazy (6 elements in 5 groups so there are quite a lot of uncoated surfaces) but no fungus I think, so hopefully will clean up okay. The RF second image seems to be off the bottom of the main image,although it's there and moves with focus, so hopefully just something like a detached mirror. It had a film in it, but I didn't know so opened the back. It looks like an old Ilford metal 35mm canister that's been reloaded, but the film had broken loose anyway so couldn't be rewound, and now it's scrap of course.
Kenzie, one for Jorja, although maybe this is like a Lubitel to her, I bought this instead of my other choice: 363029368818

Very posh! I do like a good pen, but I prefer watched more. Sorry for tagging you in the Fujica post, but you seem to have a lot of experience with such a rare camera. I ended up taking my EM10 and a Kodak Pocket No.1 from the 1920s. I had a bit of focus issue with the focus on th e Olympus, it set to c-af and wouldn't lock onto infinity, switched to a-af and it behaved.
