Week 32
Introducing my F100, 35mm film camera! Picked it up second hand with a vertical grip. I'm slowly adjusting to film and the "pro" layout. Also trying to get use to not instantly seeing the results. Looking forward to my journey with film!
First seen in the picture in the comments!

I've always found it a little odd the way that people with cameras react to having their picture taken. whether it's a news crew, or a store security camera, or just another photog, usually it's a defensive reaction. I love it when another photographer takes my picture when I've got my camera. seems like a sign of respect.

How cool is this little guy?
Plastic, 127 film
Front is telescoping
Design is cool!
But the box is the kicker!
Sweet little toy =)
4x5 Stereo/4x10 Panoramic Pinhole Camera
The entire thing is made out of black foam core and black gaffers tape. The pinholes were bought (it's quite hard to make your own matching pinholes for stereo). There is a piece of wood on the bottom with a bit of steel to allow it to be mounted on a tripod. I use the outer two holes and a divider down the middle to create a stereo image or I use the center hole without the center divider to create a panoramic image. It's built to use 2 4x5 film holders or 1 4x10 film holder. The shutter is a flap of foam core (that's currently up) and I use tape to cover the holes I'm not using.
Gave a talk to Washington Apple Pi this morning and received the greatest thank-you gift ever: a Holga 120 rollfilm camera.
It is made of plastic and has many imperfections and no technical superlatives of any kind. But it's become a cult camera because -- like so many of us -- it has a winning personality and thus people tend to reclassify its faults as mere Quirks.
Quirks of the Chinese-made Holga include: a cheap, distortive lens that vignettes the corners of the frame and a poorly-designed back that leaks light. This kit actually includes a roll of electrical tape. The instructions urge you to tape down the two AA batteries that power the flash and to strap the camera with it to tighten the back a little better.
The group presented it to me after my talk and I couldn't have been more delighted. I took a seat while the rest of the meeting continued. Thennnn...
...I noticed that film was included in the box.
I am a weak man. So yes, I unwrapped the cellophane and tried to assemble the camera and load it up as quietly as I could. There was no way I was leaving there without Holga shots of the group.
Here, let me show them to you:
Oh.
It's on film.
I have to send it out and wait for the prints to come back.
Well, we can look forward to that, then.
Apple Pi went to the top of the range and bought me the Holga 120CFN, with built-in flash AND integrated color flash filters. Twist the knob up at the top and and Red, Blue, and Yellow filters rotate into position to color the flash light.
(I have just had a discussion with the friend I'm staying with -- a scientist -- about whether this thingy is Filtering the light or Tinting it.)
(I have some really awesome friends.)
I'm going to have a lot of fun with this (for the next 12 exposures, at least). The whole point of the Holga is to return to the days of fun, snapshot photography. If there's no chance of producing a clear image free from defects, you can dispense with the Lust For Perfection and just take some damned pictures.
Check out the manual right here.
Damn, I've spent almost an hour engrossed in the Holga FAQ, and a set of instructions for how to use the Holga lens on a DSLR, and a Holga group on Flickr, and...
...Okay I'm clearly going to be up for a while. You kids go play.

Found my new favorite camera shop in Shibuya. Tons of antique Russian and Japanese cameras and the full array of Lomo series cameras.

Circa 1950s - this camera is the tiniest one I've ever seen apart from spy cameras. Another appreciated Xmas present from Lisa. Now all I need to do is track down 16mm film for it..
Olympus Pen D - been waiting for this tiny camera won on eBay last December ('09), ready for a test drive!
Pen F and Minolta MG16 were given to me by an uncle this past weekend. Unfortunately both have stuck shutters.
Cooper spent an afternoon in my parents' yard taking photos with his collar camera. I'm glad the camera is working again!

Here, the pinhole in the aluminum foil over my window (right) focuses an image of Ellsworth Avenue on the canvas (left). Exposure time was like 20 minutes.
A coworker was kind enough to lend me his GoPro Hero HD camera for the weekend. I didn't have the Ride Hero handlebar/seatpost mount, so had to improvise a little when strapping it to my handlebars.
This compact (42mm x 60mm x 30mm, 167g) camera records H.264 standard full 1080p video (30fps NTSC; 25fps PAL) to an SDHC memory card (up to 32GB). Because there's no rear LCD screen, the rechargeable 1100 mAh Lithium-Ion battery gives you about 2.5 hours of joy.
Footage to follow soon (when I figure out how to edit it).

This is my Ferrania box camera. I'm guessing it's from the 1930s? If anyone has any info, I'd love to hear from you.
[2008-06-01] Leatherhead, Saturday 8th March 2008 (16:53), Pentax-M (sic) 28mm lens, Fuji PRO400H film, f5.6 (auto) (New ... well, about 20 years old - a Ricoh KR10x that belonged to Luz and had been sitting in a cupboard unused for years ... The light seals had turned to a smelly black goo, the rewind knob had come off, and the light meter ... well, very, very stupidly, I didn't check it until after the 26th shot of this film, when I realised it was about 1 and 1/3 stops out (which I should have noticed), so was overexposing by that much. From [06-27], the film speed was set to 1000 (for this 400 ISO film), so I just hope the inaccuracy is even across the light range and this "recalibration" works. As you can see, light got in through the back of the camera on this shot (and the next - not uploaded); maybe it was after these I added more brown electrical insulating tape round the outside of the camera (and especially the hinge) to stop light getting in. If it wasn't that, I don't know why this problem stopped. I like this camera. though, so I hope I can get everything working properly ... (What is this car, by the way?)
My very first SLR. It was a hand-me-down from my father who pulled it out of the closet having never shot it.

I was visitting a lemur sanctury near Antananarivo,Madagascar,when I saw this little guy sunning himself ,up in a tree. Directly I pressed the shutter button ,he moved his hand ,in front of his face . I accused him of being camera shy ,but this was his response .........................
The Revueflex SD-1 is a 35mm SLR camera made in Japan by Chinon. Also known as the Chinon CS4, it was sold through German retailer Foto-Quelle. CS stands for Chinon Screw whose mount type is identical to the universal M42 Pentax screw thread.

Previous owner in Germany put the tape over the logos; figured I'd leave as it's unquestionably badass whilst foiling potential thieves!
