Just ordered some fresh Ektar 120 for the Penguin and may respool a roll to run through the Brownie C. I still have a roll of 120 I need to send off for processing. Problem with medium format is the cost!

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

I am toying with the idea of investigating home processing but it's then what to do with the negatives. How is your scanner? And will it do 120?

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

The scanner will do 35mm and 110 only. Its ok but it does introduce some vignetting. Although that isn't a bad thing. I have toyed with the idea of doing my own 35mm but seeing as Asda do it for a couple of quid I am finding it hard to justify. 120 home develop is a different story.

New set of batteries and firing well. Just needs a clean. Small dent on the filter threads though.

It needs a bit of patience but it's worth it when you find something, like my K2. Ah well, she can't reach me to slap me!

Also added a Canon Cannonet 28 and an Olypus XA2 to the collection. Also been loaned a Vest Pocket Twin 127.

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

Am trying no to look, I almost went for an old Rolleiflex baby that was up for £50, but it also uses 127 and I don't really need another one - like that makes any sense! I'd like an XA I think but the original rangefinder not the zone focus ones. As I'm a purist.

I've been reading some very interesting threads on the Rangefinder Forum, and also blog posts by Ming Thein, about composition, and what we shoot and why. Really made me think about the pictures I take. Those you can find, here is one page with some good points about composition:

Retro photo supplies has 127 film in stock but its £7.99 a roll. I currently have in sight on my desk an OM10, GAF220, Pentax Auto 110, Voigtlander Brilliant, Kodak Brownie Reflex, Kershaw King Penguin, Yashica Lynx 1000, Trip 35, the Action Tracker and the Brownie 127. I think I need a tidy up!

Re: Vintage film cameras
 

I think I need to hold off and enjoy the cameras before I add any more. I have at least 20 now. I really like the way the Yashica Lynx looks and feels. Shame the rangefinder mirror broken while I was trying to fix something else. I have lost track of what has film in it!
