Re: Vintage film cameras
Nice. Am bidding on this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252968939370 Pretty sure I shot a roll and a half of total crap today, light really wasn't great, will find out in about a week I guess! Some difficult indoor shots too, hopefully not lost the background too much as the room was quite big. Having two cameras was pretty handy though, I mainly shot with the K2/50mm and occasionally pulled out the Super A/28mm for the odd single shot. Amazing how people don't mind you pointing a camera at them if you have loads of gear and it's some sort of occasion. Try that on an ordinary day with one camera and they aren't so accommodating! Apart from a folder of course! |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Nice looking Olympus system that one. It's an opportunity for a day out on the SV.
With this lens, I kind of know what to do and where it's supposed to go but I can't seem to get the threads on the 2 parts to engage. Will keep at it. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
Ditto. I can't quite grasp it. It's sat in a beer mug at the moment. Still waiting for my films from Bournemouth to come back. Have been rescanning some negs with the new scanner. So much better.
Thanks for the heads up on the Kiev Johnny, was on my watch list but I will leave it alone. Got an 80s themed party of Saturday so I have a pack of sx 70 film on order for the Polaroid.

Re: Vintage film cameras
That Kiev looks in pretty good condition for its age.
Succumbed to the GAS again. I couldn't resist this one in black. Must try harder - one a month maximum. |

It's an incurable disease! Think I'm terminal. Been tempted by an MG1 but I picked up the FC instead.

Re: Vintage film cameras
It was an impulse buy but I think it's all working OK - I've tried it with a battery.
It can go on the China shortlist. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
You looking to go back to China then?

Re: Vintage film cameras
I don't know if 'looking' is the right word but work has an ongoing project in China that I'm involved with so this year and possibly future years, I'll be out there for a couple of months. It makes a change but I wouldn't want to stay there on a long term basis.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Is the A1 working OK now? It's a lot tidier than it was when I last saw it.
