Thread: Film Cameras

I shoot medium format B&W film, develop and print it. I use a digital camera for snapshots and color. Recently sold off 35mm film cameras and lenses. Used the money to buy straight razors and accessories. Check out APUG.com for forums and information on analog photography.

I've several film cameras, from 6x6, through 35mm all the way to large format pinholes - despite many thousand dollars spent on stuff, never found the money for a decent lens for the 8x10 beast.

I used to shoot so much that I bought TMax in bulk rolls and load my own cartridges. I've a freezer full of 6x6 and 35mm film that I'm yet to develop.

Absolutely love to shoot film, although I also own a few digital cameras.

Right now I think I have a couple of Minoltas, two or three Cannons, A Kiev66, and a couple of old large format no brand beasts.

Hell yeah.

If the moderators don't mind a bit of cross-community posting, I've been rather active at the Analog Photography Users Group (apug.org).

There are other sites, such as largeformatphotography.info and rangefinderforum.com plus a few forums left over at photo.net, and Fuji's own choose-film.com, but my other home is APUG.

I shoot with a Nikon FM2m, a Mamiya C330, a Contax IIa and an Agfa Isolette II, depending on my mood, what I'm doing, or the amount of gear I feel carrying around.

Despite what everybody will tell you, it's still worth having fun with film. Freestylephoto.biz has lots of great materials, and so do BHphotvideo.com, Adorama.com. Get your gear on KEH.com and start shooting!

Nice pictures MHV! I particularly like the two of Calgary, my home town. Were these shots with a digital SLR?

Just read the little bit where it says you use film and print by hand.

Aeon, The shots of the quintet are sweet. Thanks for sharing

I'm a little over a year into my 3rd sojourn w/ a lens. I stubbornly resisted digital, but now use for fast action in events. 'Makes me covet an F6 for getting the speed with film. Now the D76 is mixed & waiting to marinate some film, w/ a 100' bulk roll supplying the habit. So much for trying to avoid slopping chemicals again.

The 2nd shot of the grouse is NOT a crop. It was a 20 min. session w/ a local grouse that has adopted the neighborhood. Over the time, he/she was an avg. of 13" from me, pecking me once & charging into my head twice w/ wings a flurry.

Thx for sharing Aeon. Keep creating.

Yes I shoot film still ...I always get these odd looks at x mass time when I use it. They call me OLIN MILLS. I have a Minolta 101 from 1965 that someone gave me for 10 dollars and a bunch of lens to go along with it.

I have some of the lens that are used for real close up pictures like bug and flower parts. I don't use them if your interested let me know. It would be good to find someone who may get some fun and use out of them. I hate to see them sit and not be used, The glass is great.

I have a digital camera, I have never developed a picture off that camera. I am not real technology gifted.

Have a great day

Jeff
