  • images not working. could just be me though. it's asking me to sign into dropbox.

  • My fail. Will try again in the morning.

  • Lunchtime walk last week

    Electro 35MC & Poundland Vista





  • Shot with the truly bonkers Epoca and the usual poundland vista

  • The cat is fantastic !

  • I was wondering whether anyone would know how much one of my lenses is worth. I'm thinking of selling a Leica Summericon 35 f2. eBay prices range vastly from 500 to a grand. Mine's basically mint, one owner before me since new. Only considering it at the moment

  • More from that epoca

  • Really like that set, nicely lit and composed.

  • Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised!
    (having waited impatiently for the lab, wondering what blurry mess was on its way!)

  • I tried bleach bypassing some color film, the internet says the resulting negs are hard to work with but I didn't have any problem... maybe "scanning" with a dslr helps (in terms of getting light through really dense negs).

  • Just looked it up, truly is bonkers. Might have to get one!

    Where'd you take those shots btw?

  • also I somehow fixed my ricoh gr1v by taking it apart, randomly poking bits with a screwdriver, and hitting it on a desk

  • I have done the exact same with two of mine. Odd little beasts.

  • It's under Windsor town centre.
    I bought it for the single-handed operation/hand strap - thought it would make a good adventure camera, plus it was so cheap (99p) that I won't cry if I trash it
    The waist-level finder came in handy for the above shots saves you having to press your face against a dustbin lid when improvising a tripod.
    verdict: bulky but good

  • Well, by strange coincidence, there was one sat on a market table on Brixton Station Road just now! Gave the guy £5 for it, and there's some Kodachrome loaded in it that I'll need to finish, but looking forward to playing with it this weekend.

    Can't quite believe it, never seen anything like it before and then bam!, there's one readily available.

  • Someone else has started a roll in a camera you bought? A friend of mine had that, he wound it back to the beginning and shot over it, came out very cool. You have to be careful not to wind it all the way in though

  • Wicked - I look forward to seeing the results.

    Mju1/vista


  • Electro 35mc/vista

  • he wound it back to the beginning and shot over it

    I found a roll of Gold 100 in an ebay rangefinder - I've been too scared to send it off for processing in case it's embarrassing or illegal!
    This is the perfect solution! If I set the iso to 400 & re-shoot the roll
    Thanks

  • Yeah, there was a roll already in there. I've done double exposure projects before, they're certainly fun, but have to say that my curiosity gets the better of me oftentimes and will probs just stack some up on the end of the roll. I love found shots, you get that window into someone else's life. Pretty fascinating.

  • Why rate it at 400?

    Rated at 100 it's one stop over on doubled-up frames - suitable for expired film.

  • ^ OK, thanks for the tip - I'd just assumed that by double exposing I'd risk completely washing out everything. I shall have to look into this (and improvise a tool extracting the end of the film from the canister)

  • Not one stop over, no.

  • improvise a tool extracting the end of the film from the canister

    would love to hear if / how you succeed in doing this,
    was always too cheap to buy one of these tools, and too dumb to figure out a mac guyver-way of solving this problem!

  • That's what teeth are for
