Analog film photography and cameras

+1 to Mr Cad.

adam and cameron. who are you then squire?

Anyone interested in an Yashica Mat 124 G? I've only ever put a few rolls through it and they came out great, medium format is not for me though.

Will include 3 rolls of Delta 3200, battery and case (case is broken in two points, repaired with electrical tape though, includes front of case not photographed).

Will sell for £120 posted, a good price I think. They sell for £175 here minus the case, films and battery.

£120 is a lots but it is what the Yashica go for nowadays.

is the light metre working?

yup, battery voltage is 1.5 instead of the designed 1.35 so at worst you may have to adjust for exposure. I've never used it (always just used my eye or a separate light meter) so can't vouch for it's accuracy.

it's easier to compensate by adjusting the ISO a little higher (200 ISO for 100 ISO film) with 1.5v battery rather than the exposure itself.

That Yashica MAT is a lovely thing. A good repairer can recalibrate the meter.

Anyone got an film developing stuff? Looking for a tank and some chemicals...

Don't NOVA DARKROOM still sell them.....and pretty cheaply too?

Get yourself on ebay mate, you can get some right deals. I picked up all my developing stuff for £15.

I might have a few bits laying around though that you can have (spare tank) if you want?

Re the Yashicamat. I had one for a few years and I reckon it is pretty much the ultimate TLR. The lens is stellar and the light meter quick to read and accurate enough for most situations. I only shoot 35mm these days, or I'd snap it up.

For the price, yes, one of the best TLR available. Now on ebay, if you're interested a search should bring it up.

If I had the cash...........

My scanner has shit the bed, and I haven't got round to printing anything recently, so here are a couple of backlit shots of negatives, or as I like to call them 'GhettoScans'.

A few from the vaults. Bronica ETRSi Velvia 50 and Rolleicord Velvia 100.

Found a aps film anyone want it?

As discussed earlier in this thread, NO one who is serious about their photography, uses APS film.

And since this is the non-digital film thread, EVERYONE on here is serious about their photography.

So your offer would appeal to absolutely no-one at all who is participating regularly on this thread.

APS film was more or less a gimmick.

Wasn't aps a way to get more paper sales?

It was an offer of something I found.

Was going to use the TLR camera for wedding photography, since people behave more at ease with those camera than the big bulky SLR.

turn out it's broke on the day, luckily I have the medium format SLR all ready, frankly I'm glad I got it with me, especially with prism viewfinder that make it a doodle to focus.

Very nicely done Ed.

Sam - nice shots, I haven't tried delta 100 before but now I think I'll give it a go. What was it developed in?

turn out it's broke on the day,

just as well you found out on the day.
can't be fun finding out the there was a fault after the film comes back.

Isn't that weird?? I have no experience of using a TLR at all but, for some reason, I'd be more at ease having one pointed at me than an SLR. [/preferstobebehindthecamera]

Lovely shot by the way. :)

Not weird at all Wools. It's well known that people feel more relaxed when not having a photographer staring straight at them.

This has always been a TLR's great strength, and to some extent it works for rangefinder cameras too.
