Analog film photography and cameras

....
Delta 400 in Canon A35F.

Nice, that bottom pic really reminds me of a surreal French film I watched recently and can't remember the name of. Gah.

I have 3 film cameras that could do with getting rid.
Pentax ME camera with 50mm lens
KC 2000 Olympia 35mm film camera
Minolta 5000 camera with 50mm lens

They're pretty basic. They all three were given to me years ago.

How much for the minolta lileth?

Just so that you know Lil, but the Olympia was not a serious camera, more of a novelty/toy camera. The other two were expandable system cameras, for which there are many options such as lenses and all sorts. So prices for the Pentax and the Minolta should be reasonable, but don't expect the same for the Olympia.

Nikon F50, can't remember what film because it was bloody ages ago, but I know it was very expired.

How much for the minolta lileth?

£90 for the whole lot, unless you want the lens on it's own then £50. Altho can go as low as £70?

Yes, I am quite aware of that hence why the pre-fix is offered (any offers welcome) = not for sale :) And the prices I'm asking for the other two is quite reasonable going by Ebay prices...

Lae, that shot of the shoes is SWEET!

What happens when your lighting source is a heat lamp at a pub:

This is really nice. The contrast of colour from the artificial lighting is mesmerising.

Like this a lot.

^ thanks man. I only started taking photos soon after Christmas, so any hints/tips would be greatly welcomed.

Also, does anyone know/recommend somewhere that can do 35mm sprocket-hole printing via mail-order? I've seen that West End Cameras do it, but it's quite expensive at £17.50. Perhaps I should just get the negatives and scan onto a PC and print onto photo paper...

i picked/bought this up recently. cheap, they're still out there.

Just got my hands on a praktica bx20s to run in a pair with my b200.
I bought it to have a second camera with 1600 in it so I can take it out to the pub, but I just received it and the manual ISO settings only go between 25 and 400.
Means I will have to scratch off dx panels to push film, which is a bit crappy.

@nefarious I like the one outside the Tyneside and the landscape. Just got myself an XA2 off ebay as well so I can carry it round while on my bike.

Bored of scanning now.

More on flickr tomorrow.

So good, MotherGirl!

Some of the scans are terrible quality :( stoopid combi printer scanner. Need a proper neg one asap if I keep shooting film at this rate (10 a week). I think it's only when I'm working away though - I find my own surroundings so uninspiring!

ps. Does anyone know if/how you can change the photo order in your flickr photostream? I hate having some lovely photos then I upload a less lovelier one and thats the first thing people see...I find flickr really annoying to use.

you can't - the photostream is the photostream - you can only make sets and order those and hope people go look :(

Ah thanks. Does anyone use any other photo hosting sites? I'm not cool enough to have my own website :(
