Analog film photography and cameras

You have hit the nail on the head. I mean, that Robert's hasn't really stamped his own on the way of taking pictures. They just remind me too much of other work that has gone before.

I like your quote!

Some stunning photos on the previous page. Why can't I take snaps like that dammit?? :)

Some recent film snaps:

Shot from the hip, got lucky.

I've got such a backlog of film at the moment that I need to develop/ get developed.

Oh and Neopan is lush!

Spenceey - what camera's that, dude?

Yashica Electro GSN - Rangefinder with a 45 1.7 lens.

Think you can pick them up for about £50 on the bay.

I've got a couple if you fancy trying one out?

that's so weird - I've taken some shots which are almost identical to those! (minus gf...)

you interested in selling one of those?

Cheers for the offer, dude. I've actually got a Lynx 14e. :) Those lenses are pretty good in low light! What ISO Neopan you been using?

Spenceey, the skyburst shot is excellently potrayed (except for glass and water reflection), and the one of your lady at night, is nice.
I have long ached for that camera also! Coincidentally, Neopan 400 has been my favourite, ever since it was launched.

Yeah, my ISO question was actually about that low light street shot of your lady friend. It's nice to not have to use a flash.

Cheers chaps, the one of Kate (AKA lady friend) was the normal film rating of 400 probably 1.7 its much easier to shoot low speeds on rangefinders.

GA2G - I've got loads of the stuff, fuji film had a load on sale last year online and I ordered about 100 rolls! so I've got some for 35mm and a load for the fuji ga645, also a lovely camera.

Oh p.s. if anyone is interested in the other Yashica Electro GSN I'll happily sell it to someone who is going to give it good use!

i'd love to provisionally dibs that...if selling...

Didn't take long!

I've also recently re fitted new light seals, so it should be good to go!

no, things fly around here - have fish, will bite! looks like a little gem. pm'd

Anyone want to buy some 35mm kit from me? I got two canon eos bodies I never use (modern canon lenses will fit these bodies with auto focus and aperture settings) and a lens.

-Canon eos 1000FN body only: £20 posted
-Canon eos 500 bodyt only : £15 posted
-Canon eos EF 35-80mm USM lens (never used it, so I don't know what it's like) £15 posted

Feel free to make offers if you think they're too steep. Both cameras are fully functional, but the 1000FN needs a new battery.

I'll take some photos in a minute.

does anyone know if you can get disposable cameras with slide film in them?

I don't think they've done them for years mate, they do black and white disposable cameras still though.

does anyone know if you can get disposable cameras with slide film in them?

It almost seems a trick question nefarious... Since slides have only an exposure latitude of approximately 1/2 - 1 stop below or above acceptable exposure, such throwaway camera would require quite an impressive metering system, to be of any real use. No?

I like trick questions. Give us another. ;)

i know about the exposure latitude (i've been told by some it's as low as .3 of a stop in fact) but i was just wondering if such a thing existed, technically flawed as it would be. seems slightly silly too considering the expense of dev/mounting costs.

and tbh even though colour reproduction is going to be off, i've shot plenty of out of date film, on my om1 with a broken light meter and still got plenty of perfectly good shots - for what i needed them for anyway.

Just buy a cheap p&s and a shed load of film, job done!

Exactly as spenceey said, in fact, get a Olympus Trip 35, they're cheaper than a disposable camera.

anyone know where I can have a photo-book done on a budget(A3 or A4)?

heres my snaps from a couple of days ago(Leica M4-2 + Rollei Retro 100 aka Agfa APX 100):

try blurb.com, not that cheap. alternatively print it yourself, create the layout with in design and get it bound. i paid less than £50 for a a4 bind with titles on the book.

if your gonna blurb it, go for www.lulu.com its slightly better quality paper.

failing that city binders or blissets out west are both super good quality and failry good prices.

I have a working original Olympus XA1 with flash unit for sale if anyone wants it? very good condition.
