Analog film photography and cameras

Was wondering if anyone had any spent 2CR5 batteries, usually fit minolta or canon film cameras. As I would like to replace the cells for rechargeable ones. So far two have been lost in the post and two have been lost in the flat.

Thanks

..those look good!

What camera / lens?

Love the ones of the ride!

Thanks all ! Its a Pentax Super A with 50mm 1.2

Following this conversation I have tracked. DS M3 for what I consider a reasonable price. I mainly shot wide lenses ( Contax G1 + 28mm ) but I'm happy to also use 50 for the M3. What would be the go to lens to get me started on this Leica rabbit hole? let's say £300

According to Ken Rockwell, the new TTArtisans 50 1.4 asph is sharper than a summixlux ;)

Thank you! This is exactly the sort of lens I was thinking. I shall await for said camera and order the lens once it's here.

He's always like that about Leica and a fair few of his comments are quite complimentary towards the TTArtisans. If it's even 90% as good as the Leica 50 1.4 ASPH it's good enough for the money.

Thinking of buying a light meter, was thinking a spot one would be the best so looking at pentax digital spotmeter.

Any other suggestions

When I needed an external meter in the past I just used a free iPhone app.
Worked great.

£5 car boot find. don't know anything about this camera but hopefully I put it to good use.

I was using that, but im not entirely convinced they are that accurate.

Carefully look at the photos you shot using the app and decide whether it gave you good results?

I think they're really quite good, paired with some common sense; taking care to deliberately point the thing to the specific object / area you want metered, play around a bit etc.

I went on a vacation once and had a Canon DSLR with me I used for a few occasional snaps, but mostly for metering the Hasselblad I mainly shot with. Later I found out that these apps are a thing, downloaded one and compared it's reading against those of the DSLR. I got very comparable results.

Rollei 35T & Canon AE1 Programme. Will hopefully be adding a couple more over the next few days.

Thanks. It's on my morning ride to work and is often filled with a misty golden light when the sun is low in winter. Tried to capture it on my phone a few times but never got close

Another tunnel from the same roll but not quite as nice

Any ideas on this lines? Same the whole roll. Portra 400. Used a rolleicord V ( second ever roll, first one was HP5 and no marks ) both developed at AG labs. At the same time I got another HP5 shot on a Bronica and no lines.

Is this caused by the camera or development?
