Analog film photography and cameras

I do but it's not really got much in it. Hopefully over the next few months I'll beef it up though. My Pentax ME-Super has been gathering dust for too long and my mum randomly bought my dad a £200 film scanner to scan in 10 or 20 slides that he had. I'd been been lusting after a similar, but cheaper, film scanner for ages and then one just appeared to now I've no excuse for not getting dev only for £3ish.

if you want to fuck about a bit on a lomo ive got a holga with a fisheye and strobeflash and literally never use them, your welcome to borrow if you want...

50mm is useless on a cropped sensor digital thought, the lens become an 80mm F/2.5 lens, far too long to be a useful everyday lens, your best option is a 30mm F/1.4 from Sigma, that give you an exact 50mm viewpoint to be used as an perfect everyday lens.

i mainly use it for macro and low-light stuff really. not an everday lens. but ill look into the Sigma for sure :)

just a few snaps...

pentax k1000. best film slr body ever.

^ agreed! and they have some of the best prime lenses IMHO.
I have a battered Yashica fx-d.

holga 'atcha bwoy! hahaha. no, seriously, i love my holga, but struggle with a good place for porcessing and getting hold of polaroid stock for the holgaroid mod is tough. :(

I can't believe ppl are prepared to pay £80 for an LCA. Shocking.

Hate the Lomographic society.

I've got a ton of old film cameras. Nothing too amazing. The best ones are probably my cheap Russian Leica knockoffs which are actually amazing quality for the price. I've got a bunch of nice compacts (Olympus XA's, Russian Contax knockoffs). An EOS (got a digital EOS too). A Lubitel. A load of box cameras (and brownies). The whole collection isn't worth shit really but my dad is a camera nerd and never really uses his Rollei's and the nicer ones (for fear of breaking them) so I didn't want to do that. I don't own a camera that is worth worrying about and purposely won't.

I still have my Nikon f4 which i have not used for a couple of years since buying my d80. I have a fickr thingy but not used it for a while.

Got the following film cameras...

Olympus OM1, gathering dust a bit!
Lomo Diana which I am just getting grips with
Lomo Colour splash that I take all over and usually shot slide film and cross process.
Currently looking for a Polaroid SX-70 (loads around, but looking for the right one.

Also have an Olympus Mju Digital, not as good as my girls Canon I got her for Christmas!!
Got a flickR account, but need to put pics up on it, I'll get around to it some day!

do you really want to learn how much the Canon 450D cost normally? that'd make the LSI seemed generous.

I paid £80 for it 5 years ago actually, from Bulgaria (custom tax buggered it up).

The Polaroid SX-70 a gorgeous piece of camera, clever too, felt very weak (note: felt that is, not actually weak), it annoying that everytime i open the camera i took 10 years of it's life out of it.

Diana are a bugger to use, but the result is more rewarding when the photo's finally exposed, more rewarding than the easy strong Holga.

Go on then, how much is a 450D normally (how do you mean normally anyway)?

I got a Diana clone (Annie) from a car boot sale for about 20p. Plus I got a 35mm version (no name) from a charity shop for about £2.

Digital is better, let's be honest here.

fails to define 'better' and runs off to hide

It appears that Fuji FP100 will be the last of the Instant Films, as Polaroid has abandoned the field; or at least is doing so this year. The Fuji FP100 will remain available in medium format sizes.....for the time being.

who cares about what you use to capture the image, it's all in the glass. bah. Film sucks. Don't believe me? try reparing a negative.

Digital IS much better... you learn more, shoot more, spend less. The only good thing about film is it makes you think more, but with digital you don't *have *to think less...
