Analog film photography and cameras

I saw a very short woman (she can't have been more than 4'6") ride a Raleigh Twenty today. The saddle was down as far as possible and she had to reach up for the handlebars. The bike didn't fit her at all.

This is confusing teh fuck out of me, double exposure yes?

I didn't shoot film until the end of last year. I prefer medium format photography over anything but couldn't afford the money to buy and process the film and the time to scan and retouch the negatives/transparencies.

What still deeply upsets me is that you have to spend four figures on a digital SLR that would do the same job as a used £50-£100 film SLR from the 80s.

triple!

you just blew my mind dude

Do you know where I might be able to pick one up for cheap? I've had a search on the bay, either £50 for a hunk of rust or £20 in a good condition to pick up only from outside of London

^^ had a look there as well, nothing about. bigbadad sorted me out with a contact for one but he said only for around £100. There are a couple on ebay which are cheap and I just realised not to far away from me.

o wsup

Decided to start using my dads old Asahi Pentax ME.

Can anyone recommend a cheap flash to buy?

u can try a flash mixed with a high iso Film.. remember the bigger the iso the more sensitive to light the film is.. so iso3600 is great for indoors, gives a nice grainy texture to the pictures.
Where pan50 film is all so nice for Long exposures over 10seconds.
My 2pence worth!

Was given an Olympus OM10 with manual adaptor 50mm and 24mm lense and macro tube. Also a beautiful Zenit 3.

So guess I'm palying at the weekend.

anyone have a M/screw mount lens they want to sell/trade? Would be looking at 28mm/35mm/40 > Leica/Voigtlander/Minolta/etc. Got a 35mm f1.7 Ultron that I may trade or sell.

Recently got a Canon EOS 650 with a 35/70mm Canon lens passed down to me, never used a film camera before, really looking foward to using it. I don't know anything about camera's really, is this a decent bit of kit?

Looks pretty much like this

any camera is plentiful enough to shoot some films.

Anyone want a 35mm compact a fujifilm zoomdate 1000 camera?
