Analog film photography and cameras

Nice - really like those B&W shots man! What camera you shooting on?

Thanks :) I'm more comfortable with b&w.

I used a Plaubel Makina 67, I'm still trying to get the best of it!

After fixing the MV I decided to treat myself to a nice lens for it. Picked up a 40mm 2.8, giving me (from what I can work out) the smallest 35mm SLR/lens combo one can get. Pictured next to a 'compact' camera for size reference :)

Yeah!
Have the same here (well, almost - it's an ME with the 40/2.8) ..my only gripe is that the focus ring is so tiny and just 'good', handling-wise - and not 'awesome' as the other Pentax-M lenses
: ]

Have fun shooting!

True it is very tiny, but getting used to it only takes a minute or two, and I reckon its worth it for how tiny the whole system is

Actually the major selling point for me was that it's 40mm, not that it's so tiny (and I am a big fan of pancake lenses in general), it's just that in (my) real-life-scenarios it doesn't really matter whether it's one or to centimeters smaller really, it's not that I can put it in my jeans pocket anyways, so..

Don't buy.

I of course did, not the Contax or Leica though, a Canon P. Need to start offloading some cameras...

anyone got a Pentax LX? just bought one and wanted to see if there were any signs i should look out for regarding possible failure down the line

@Turkish that loosely wound roll came back, 5 out of 8 images usable, rest 3 bad light leak.

Only 8 images, 6x9? Hmm im not holding out much hope. Is there a foolproof way to do 120 without this problem? I dont want to have to worry about closing every roll in the dark/keeping them lightight when sending off

I dont do anything like that when sealing up my 120. Just make sure its tight when i seal it.

I just wind them on a lot after the last shot (this makes absolutely no sense, still I keep doing it for shits and giggles), then open the back & take out the spool carefully and not in direct sunlight obviously, putting a finger on the wound-up film so it can't come loose / pull on the end a little bit so it's tighter and tape it. It's not rocket science.

Oh yeah, and 6x9 gives you only 8 images on a roll of 120.

I tried pulling the wound film tighter but wouldnt really go for some reason. I have another roll of the same film (Clocktower cameras gave me 2 for a fiver) so might just blast through it one sunny day and try again

wouldnt really go for some reason

try shouting at it

Awesome. Love the results a Hexar produces.

I had a dodgy batch of Fuji Neopan 400CN (re-branded XP2) once, two rolls had a crease across the length of the film. Worth checking your other rolls if you bought more at the same time.

ta was 4£ old stock out of boots so cant complain.

The shot of the girl in the black shirt, columns, chequered tiles. It feels the least slick/most casual and strikes a nice tone. And that location works with the clothes 💯 percent.

As a set they’re good.

Did you ever experiment with non-standard or bright screens in your Rolleicord?
