Analog film photography and cameras

Just can’t resist those hiphoppaperwaytz

so stop buying them, people!

Do people pay extra for its ability to randomly turn into a brick ?

£1 a roll colorplus (36 exp). Worth stocking up on imo. As much as I'd love to shoot nothing but portra, I'll learn a lot more shooting 8/9 rolls of colorplus instead

EDIT: scam account

nice find geezer

I'm a sucker for good birch tree photos. Annoyingly I've never taken a good one.

Does anyone have cheap, working film cameras they'd like to get rid of? I need a few for my wedding and local charity shops aren't coming up with much.

Just get disposables my dude. Kind of a waste of plastic, but it's so so so much cheaper. They make for fun shooting anyway.

Happy to lend you an OM10 if it comes back in one piece!

Although I'd probably agree with this. A director of photography mate supplied 10+ SLRs for other DOP mates to shoot his wedding, but after an hour of processcos everyone wished they had a point'n'shoot they didn't have to worry about dropping

Yeah, exactly. Though I find him mostly quite pretentious, Joe Greer put disposables to good use at his wife's birthday party. You can find them here. They're great. I will be doing the same at my wedding - though that's a couple of years away. I think these must be HP5 disposables.

Cursory Google finds them around £5 - figured I might be able to get a few nicer (or at least more reusable) ones for the same sort of price. But that might be unrealistic.

I've got a few already, would only need a couple more.

@TooTallTim cheers but wouldn't want to risk it!

Just buy a few on classifieds / eBay and sell them when you're done.
Fuck disposables.

I think it is unrealistic tbh.

If you just want a few ... buying some £10 Konica Pops from eBay would be fun. I’m guessing you want one per table? But if you want bulk then buying loads of used compacts of different types might be a hassle; working out which actually work, getting the different types of (sometimes expensive) batteries etc.

Ilford do some very classy b&w disposables. Not the cheapest but in shitty lighting of the average wedding b&w film does really well. Colour film with flash looks a bit sleazy :)

Wondering how I go about photographing a mates stag weekend. Do I;

i. Do as I usually do (leave a MjuII around as a floating camera and shoot with something easy to operate drunk like a Nikon 35AF or Fujifilm Silvi).

ii. Take a Leica, one lens, flash, try not to drop it.

iii. Take the Rolleicord (which i’m loving) and a light meter and grab some nice seated, natural light portraits of the degenerates as we go. TLR when pissed will be a learning curve.

iv. The lazy version of above which is an OM1 and a 50mm.

... the answer is always an SLR and a 50mm isn’t it?

I would go with this, something that has a flash, easy to carry, easy to use, gets lost/damaged not a big hit, next to no time focusing, etc etc

Have a good 'un !

also what a flex

Hey, expensive to buy but free to own (easy to repair, they don’t break, they appreciate in value). Just ask Contax users/ex-users :P

Still haven't tried a Leica... Still don't know if I'll enjoy a rf...

35mm ;)

Lunatic. 35s are better on rangefinders every time.

I just love the light in California so much... Ektar 100 and 55mm f/3.5 Micro-Nikkor. Taken with an EM body. Proof that cheap SLRs are still really great.
