Dare I say.. Camera 8?

[polyglot]

I have a couple spare* Ektar 135/36 rolls here if you want to use 'em. If you send the camera to me first, I'll stick one in.


*I no longer have a 35mm camera.

Seeing as we're up to 18 people already:

[........Do we stop at 20 or at 25.... thoughts please?

We should stop at 18 and have two shots each..... However, a few more have joined in now!



Steve.

 

[Axle]

I'm game if entry is still open.

 

[kraker]

If you (note the "you") stop at 20, I'm out. If we (note the "we") stop at 25, I could still be in. I'd like to be in.

 

[M.A.Longmore]

My sanity left me around the time two camera's simultaneously went missing on opposite sides of the globe at the same time... that said pagan rituals are always welcome!

Seeing as we're up to 18 people already:

4. Franswa (if you're interested)
5. Mr Banana

Do we stop at 20 or at 25.... thoughts please?

Reminds me of a TV Show:

Eighteen Is Enough !

I was going to suggest a Polaroid 20" x 24" camera.

if there is room in the bunkhouse count me in too,
but i can't sacrifice any barnyard animals this time ...

 

[Shawn Rahman]

Sile - to hedge our bets that the camera will make it, can we put out a call for a slightly better camera? I know technical perfection is not what we're striving for, but if it is the same SureShot we used for Round 6, I'd say it may not survive another trip around the world (and I'd prefer a slightly better lens, especially for color film).

I don't have anything cheap and good to offer, but I'd be willing to try to land a Nikon L35AF on ebay for this go around. Nice robust camera with a great lens.

I would offer my Olympus Stylus Epic, but it is slightly quirky with its metering.

 

[Síle]

Ok... we have a FINAL list...

*************

That's our limit... we stop at 25.. so anyone after this line I am so sorry.. you missed the chance to be a part of this wonderfully exciting round..

Shawn I genuinely do not mind what camera goes around.. if you are willing and able to chase up an L35AF and everyone is happy to go with that then I'm more than happy to go with that.. If Polyglot is happy to provide the film then perhaps we can work something out?

I have Semeuse address for this round.. so if everyone could PM me their addresses over the next week, I can work out the best travelling arrangements for the camera. BUT... no one is allowed to move house or even go on vacation for longer than a predetermined period until we get this camera home...

For those of you new to the travelling camera concept.. from here on in it will take a month or two to get the final list and get our journey started..

Certify us all... we're doing it again.... :w00t:

 

[polyglot]

Yep, quite happy to provide a roll or two. I have four of them sitting here, looking quite forlorn and they expire in only 11 months...

 

[Shawn Rahman]

Sile - OK. Will try to get my hands on an L35AF within the next two weeks, and if not, we'll go with the SureShot. Looking forward to it!

 

[MattKing]

Síle:

Am I one of either "8. Matt" or "11. Matthew"?

And I would strongly suggest that we make it an absolute rule that no participant forwards the camera to the next person without first confirming, by pm or email, what the current address is for that next participant.

 

[walbergb]

Popular APUG activity! List filled up quickly. If anyone drops out, I'd be thrilled to join (first timer). Perhaps The Banana & I can take candids of each other

 

[rcam72]

if everyone could PM me their addresses over the next week, I can work out the best travelling arrangements for the camera.

PM sent.

 

[kraker]

Woohoo, I managed to join just in time. I've often read about previous rounds, never managed to get in on time. Looking forward to this!

And I would strongly suggest that we make it an absolute rule that no participant forwards the camera to the next person without first confirming, by pm or email, what the current address is for that next participant.

That's a good rule, I second that.

PM sent, by the way.

 

[Steve Smith]

And at least within the same country, we should post it with signed for delivery or some form of tracking.


Steve.

 

[MattKing]

PM sent (assuming either "8. Matt" or "11. Matthew" is me)

 

[flatulent1]

So you managed to slip one past me... I may have to accept a job at the post office, since I won't get to play with you. :

As if we would do such a thing oh flatulent1.... Keep an eye on the thread, as a previous willing and able participant you may just be called upon..

Thank you to everyone who pm'd addresses, I think I responded to everyone.. as I mentioned in a lot of messages, just keep an eye on this thread for details and information on the camera, film and destinations!

Shawn thank you, that's great. We'll hold off for now as we get everything planned and if you manage to get hold of one then all the better!

Polyglot.. excellent.. thank you too!

Walbergb keep an eye on the thread, there may be hope still, all is not lost!

Fire up your chickens everyone...

Sile said I should keep an eye on the thread, there may be hope still, all is not lost!
