Analog film photography and cameras

Oooooooooooooooooo! I didn't know that 127 was being produced again!

I have a few brownies that I could have a play with now!

Exciting stuff!

The things we all pick up on this forum eh? ;)

Yeah, any of the TLR's. I have been looking on the bay but am a bit worried about buying a high value old camera online.

How much you thinking of spending?

I think as long as you're a bit careful there is nothing wrong with buying off ebay, I bought my first Super 8 and several other bits and never had any problems

I've been eye up the hasselblads on there and slowly moving towards buying something

Hobo is there any particular reason you want a Rolleiflex TLR? The Mamiya C3 / C33 / C330 are just as good, if not better, and have the added benefit of interchangeable lenses.

While eBay probably has the best deals, yiou could trust sellers like FFORDES to provide well taken care of equipment. Or you.could walk into MrCad in Croydon, or Nicholas in Camden. Though Nicholas has a reputation for profitteering.

The Rolleiflex models that are most available are 80mm f4, and the more expensive 80mm f2.8. I'd want the f2.8 model.

My Nikkormat FT2 from eBay has just been delivered, can't wait to see if all is OK. I lost one in about 1995 (and it was an antique then!) Just love the look and feel and function of them!

cool, I didn't know you could get 127.

Hobo, consider the Yashicamat series too; the 124G was the must usable TLR I ever had, with a good selenium needle-match incident light meter on the top-plate. Their Yashinon 80/3.5 is very sharp.

+1 on the yashica mat.
I have a 124g although I don't use the meter - they require obsolete mercury cells or a battery converter kit to work properly. I believe it is a reflected meter though and not an incident.

I am starting a long term project later this year about where I live (Dungeness area). Originally I was going to just do B&W in MF and 35mm. However, I have been really impressed by the new Portra 400 in 120 especially when pushed. What sold me was this:

Has anyone tried pushing the 35mm version of the new Portra 400?

Wow... the colour is great, and at 3200 with no grain... like

Bought some of the new portra for my holga, but not used it yet. I also have a Hasselblad on loan so I could try a roll on that too (with an option to push)

Thought some of you guys would appreciate the work my mate does.
He's the best photographer I've ever seen, everything he shoots turns out amazing.

Is his photography analogue, or is it digital also? I'm sure you're a good mate of his, but posting his retail-site is a bit crude, no? If its all film-based photography, then fair enough, but looking at his site, it seems not to be that way. This thread was created to promote and celebrate film based photography.....now that it is a minority pursuit.

All film. If you have a problem with that site, then here's his flickr. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pushing his wares or anything.

The new Portra 400 is a fine, fine film (I'm trying to reign in the superlatives so being deliberately understated). I almost couldn't see the point of using anything else colour-neg wise. Pushing the 35mm equivalent will naturally be harder regardless like it'll be your best option, you'll naturally still have to be quite careful about your exposure.

Does anyone have a separate rangefinder for sale (i.e. not a rangefinder camera, just a rangefinder!)? It doesn't have to be good condition or good quality - I'm looking to spend about a tenner. There are some on ebay but just thought I'd ask.

The old 35mm/6x6/6x9 ones, or something from the 50s-60s? I love the old 6x9 folders. The best place is carboot sales.

anyone know/seen a nikon 35ti for sale in london?

Look at the 4th line under the NIKON heading.

Took some photos with my circa 1965 Regula Sprinty 'B' the other week

I know it's not a very good camera, but it was free, characterful, compact, and I like having freedom from batteries (light meter is selenium). I have since bought a cheap accessory rangefinder on ebay so it'll take the guesswork out of focusing (meaning I might get more than a handful of in-focus photos out of a whole roll). It was the first time I used it so I'm not used to the framing of the viewfinder yet.

This weekend I hope to try out my early 90s Nikon F50 SLR (not very good again, I know, but it was free too).
