Re: Vintage film cameras
Morning all. Been to the boot sale and lucked out on the Minoltas unfortunately. He sold everything. I did score a couple of cold ones though:
The Budweiser had a film in but the seller proceeded to open the camera while loaded to show me!

Re: Vintage film cameras
Pretty nifty aren't they? Saw a Minolta 35-70 f2.8 lens for a fiver but it had a dented filter ring and a lot of dust inside.

Re: Vintage film cameras
I got the photos back from the Dacora; went for jpegs on a CD rather than prints. I've uploaded them to onedrive and there's a link here. Hope it works. (click on 'view original' and magnify them for full size.)
https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...t=folder%2cJPG Overall, I'm surprised. They've come out better than expected. The colours are fairly distinct, contrast doesn't seem too bad and I think they're as sharp as can be expected. Interior ones at f2.8 and 1/50th didn't fare too well but apart from that, I'm happy. |

Re: Vintage film cameras
There are a couple of x500s on ebay but going for around £50 although that's with a 50mm lens, which I could sell and recoup some of the cost. Alternatively, the x300 and x700 are in more plentiful supply and cheaper. I'll keep an eye on them over the weekend.

Re: Vintage film cameras
Well I'm at another bootsale tomorrow so I will keep an eye out. May squeeze in two if i have time. I liked the Tulips and the Cherry Blossom shots. Did you take a photo at the bootsale?

Re: Vintage film cameras
Dacora pics are looking good, Yoko! Yeah the ones inside are a few stops too dim for sure. In the main though they look good, lowlights are well exposed. Just a bit of flare from bright sky light, you could try a lens hood or maybe a good skylight/UV filter that has better coatings than the Dacora's front glass. But nice and sharp, and good contrast.
