Cold and bright today so I took off on a long hike with the EM10 and the Minolta Himatic SD loaded with a roll of Fuji super G - expiry date 1995. Surprisingly, I fired off the whole roll. It'll be interesting to see the end product. Camera is zone focus and has no exposure lock so from a bright, clear day with a lot of contrast, I'm not expecting much.

Cool, 25 year vintage! I'm still waiting on news of my OMs, the guy said he is sending them back tomorrow but we'll see. I grabbed a Lomography Sprocket Rocket with some Christmas money and a Sea and Sea 2 camera just for hell of it. I've not been out at all, too grotty and can't really go far being in tier 4. I sent a roll of film off to Snaps, probably the only one I've shot this year. I did manage to send off my LC-A and Zorki 1 for service too.

I thought I was Tier 2 but it seems as from 12:01am today, I'm now Tier 3. I give up with all these numbers.
Today was too good to stay in, In retrospect, I might have been better off with a roll of Portra but it can wait until next time. Good that you've found someone who can service the Russian cameras.
I've hardly spent money on anything this year, only bought a couple of cameras and have probably saved quite a bit by not commuting so I treated myself to one of these for Christmas.

Very nice looking bit of kit there. Are you selling off any of the older ones? It's quite useful as Roger can service the Leica too as the Zorkis are basically the same. I've bought a few of these straps https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08FB8SV...ing=UTF8&psc=1 Got a green one on the Leica and a black one on the Zarya and a Kiev 4. Quite soft and comes with built in lug protectors. I had three rolls of Fomapan 200 arrive as well, have an urge to shoot black and white.

I've got one of those straps on my Fuji X30 digi, came with it. The previous owner spent a few quid - I've got a charger (normally just charge via the USB port), four batteries, the OEM strap that has never been used, nice ERC, and one of those shutter buttons that screws into the top of the shutter button. Feels nice I admit.

I've one of those soft touch buttons but I've been told that they can damage film cameras some how, not sure how but I do prefer the feel.

Can't imagine how?

johnnyrod · 01-01-21, 11:10 AM

Just googled, basically it applies to cameras that have weak internals anyway

I don't understand either, how is it any different from threading in a cable release?
