Vintage film cameras

[yokohama]

I'm kind of fortunate in that I can work from home and have been doing for the last month or so.
We have to keep going so it's a matter of switching over completely to online teaching. Not as easy as it sounds. I have to get out of the house once or twice a day to stop going crazy.
I keep meaning to take a camera out with me somedays but have no motivation. It seems almost pointless.
Fortunately, I've got no-one in the house to get on my nerves. Wife is stranded overseas and can't get back.

Wow, where is she? I work in pharma so I have a job to do now. That makes me a key worker so that helps, though not sure if our little one should be going to school, we need to talk about it over the weekend.
Thanks for the info Kenzie.

Key worker eh JR? Bet your daughter loves you with key worker kids still having to go to school. I've no mojo for photography at the moment either.

[johnnyrod]

Yeah she'd be mixing with kids of nurses etc. who get the most exposure! Hopefully we won't need to use it. UK has been too slow bringing in measures.

[Kenzie]

So much conflicting advice. They tell us to stay 2m apart but then send kids to school!

[johnnyrod]

I know, the littel rotters are a breeding ground for everything; to be honest the govt's first priority is the economy not the people. I'm not sure what a viable alternative would be but I think the list of key workers is rather long!

Well the last camera related purchase for a while turned up. A classic blue and white Olympus "Hunter" strap.

[johnnyrod]

My rubber grips arrived, I should get on with the Mamiya. Just had the living room decorated so it had to go on hold. I also need to get on and start filing some photos now I have the pockets.

[Kenzie]

Filing them helps keep the negs nice and flat, better for scanning. Quite a few of mine are returned from.Boots rolled up. The cones are a great investment.

Well, I couldn't resist

not cheap but more of a BOGOF. I think they both have auto film counters, in which case it could be just that the long wind on to frame 1 hasn't been done. Anyway I've sold some other stuff lately so they're sort of free. I'll tell myself that.
