Analog film photography and cameras

Half frame / full frame. Interesting camera, anyone else ever shot one?

That's very David Lynch.
The step in the floor took me a minute to get my head around.

Half frame / full frame. Interesting camera, anyone else ever shot one?

My father used to use them a lot, I presume to make slide film go further. As you'd expect quality isnt as good as full frame.

Cheers BRO.

I was shocked anything came out at all... wasted about 10 shots because I expected the whole film to be white noise. Damn it.

C'est la vie. It was worth the sacrifice for that shot, imo.

Yep, I haz the same one.
tis a a bit slow for focus etc what with that little lens cover having to slide away to let you fire, but it seems like a well made bit of kit.
I ran one film of cheapo Kodak 100 through it but I've still not got round to processing it so I can't tell you anything about the results....
It's the only half-frame 35mm I've used so I don't know if the portrait/landscape reversal is the same on all halframes, or whether it's peculiar to a switchable camera but I found it a little bit of a headfuk.....
It would be ace if you could switch between full and half-frame, but even if you had a change-bag I think the little yellow lever sits behind the film - worth a check though cos that'd be quite cool.

nice colours

All these are great compositions to my eye. Tight.

great pictures in here, very inspiring, feels a bit like travelling
@chrisbmx116 love that dry cleaners shot, @mi7rennie especially like the contrasts and forms in the parking lot picture

Readers somewhere on streets here in Lyon.
Shooting Fujica AZ1 (my beloved one) M42 lens, and APX 400 with home developed.

Oh and by the way I highly recommend Julian Martin's work if you're into Portraits or Fashion film photography, and Depardon for everything else. ;)

Thanks everyone was pleased with that set.

Love the roman road shot @chrisbmx116

Anyone want to buy a print?

Returning to previous conversation re: Leica iii, I picked this one up at a camera auction on Thursday.
Rather excited.. Needs a clean first and then it'll be stashed away until my birthday in April.

Any recommendations for CLA? I've been recommended Aperture on Rathbone place - should i be speaking to anyone else (or indeed doing it myself)?

Awww thanks you guys....

I was going to take a camera on the tube toady but forgot it, noticed a couple of great shots I could have taken... didn't resort to phone... anyone shot on the tube before? Anyone mind? Anyone pipe up?

I usually only do that when drunk so less fucks are given. On the other hand, the photos are always shit.

Ever had anyone kick off? I'm always worried... I remembered asking some group at the Bar at Craig Davids pool party in Ibiza to take a photo of them and one of the mega slagggggz said no as I was prob going to jerk off to it. She wasn't wrong! But thats not the point...
(She was wrong, I rolled my eyes and just bought another beer...)

Nah, people either don't care at all or just say they'd rather not. If you even ask. Usually they just look away and do rolley-eyes.

It's probably best to get some form of implied consent by being a bit charming/bantery and not giving them any time to think too much about it.

That looks rather lovely, I shoot with an M4 / Summicron 50mm F2 sometimes and it a great combo.

You should have bought (and drank) the 'another beer' before asking for the photo ..... now your tube rides aggravate your Craig David Pool Party Syndrome.

Anyone have a Pentax k1000/Spotmatic, Canon AE-1 or similar. Gf wants to get into shooting and was after an entry level film camera. Cheers.

As I told here earlier, I was tempted by a new rangefinder pocket camera.
Just bought a 10€ Agfa Sensor 500 which seems really nice, and even still have a battery so fully working. I'll keep you up about it...
A. K. A. Big Red Button.

There were some crazy Agfa camera designs. Mostly with very good lenses. ^ this one isn't a rangefinder. I think the 1535 was the last rangefinder. I have the 935 – the last thing they made in Germany. It's a viewfinder camera, zone-focus and motorised. It's bonkers. Imagine an Olympus XA2 crossed with a Transformer.
