My Dad's A-1 and FD 50mm f/1.4, the fast lens lets me shoot APX 100 even though it's not quite that time of year yet.

I like the one in the center. Is that a Zeiss Ikon logo I see? Be sure to tap my shoulder when you upload a photo from that camera. I want to see the results!

Yes, it's a Zeiss Ikon, a pre-War (1938) 515/2 Nettar; with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar and a Compur shutter (B, 1-1/250).
It's very nice for its age : like new !
And bought less than 25€ with shipping; it was my lucky day...

On the left, it's a less old RF Moskva 4, with a Moment shutter (B, 1-1/250); while shutter and rangefinder are smooth, the knob to advance film is very, very hard to turn !

The french Royer camera is on the right : Sito shutter (B, 1-1/300) with X-sync; in perfect condition to use; made in 1952.
 
This week I'm shooting Kodak Ektar in a Canon EF fitted with a Canon FD 35mm f2 lens.
 
Last night I went out with my KO Rapid 100 loaded with HP5.
I have not done my night time shooting; but I am really pleased with the results.
 
Got three projects on the go at once.... (Note to self: MUST stop doing this!)

Pentacon 6 with Delta 400 - testing camera after long storage.
Nikon F3 with Kodak 400 colour film - testing camera recently aquired.
Thornton Pickard Triple Extension with Zeiss Convertable Anastigmat, half plate negs for cyanotypes.
MPP MK III with Schneider Xenar for 5 X 4 film for cyanotypes.

Hey, that's four... (Really must stop doing this)
 
Pacemaker Crown Graphic 2-1/4x3-1/4 with Kodak Ektar 105mm in Flash Supermatic shutter. Testing some Adox CHS Art 25.
 
Nikon F eyelevel, 24/2.8 Nikkor-NC, 35/2 Nikkor-O, and 85/1.8 Nikkor. Paired up with a Gossen Luna-Pro meter (AKA the 8 *hour* meter - lol). Film is Fujicolor Pro 160C currently.

Canon A1 with FD 35-70 f3.5-f4.5 loaded with Kodak Ektar it's been a hot week in the UK in the 80s and this is a nice light combination to lug around in my little Lowe pro Toploader.
 
I have two cameras with rolls of Tri-x in them: an Olympus OM-1md and an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F I have to finish off.

Back on Victoria Day monday I used a Nikon FE (Fuji Superia) and a Series E Rolleiflex (Fomapan 400).
 
A Calumet CC-401 and Polaroid type 55 film. My Oly OM-1 is filled with FP4+, a Mamiya C-220 loaded with Acros 100, and my Yashica D with Arista EDU Ultra 100. My wife is shooting Elite Chrome 100 in her OM-77AF. My daughter has a Pentax loaded with APX 100. My Duaflex is awaiting a roll of Arista EDU Ultra 100(just pulled it from the freezer).

i now need to pry myself away form printing albumen long enough to get my first shot from each of theses cameras, i have tested the briefcase with paper and fixed a light leak.it was a 115 pinhole briefcase cam but i decided to extend it buy glueing a pokemon lunchbox to extend too 165mm

the test looked very sharp with the depth of field of a pinhole, i think i will print in albumen with this setup. nice and contrasty

the rodenstock was a bargain find 10 euro with a working but aperture less shutter, so i made a couple waterstops out of a beer can , one is f64 and the other a f11 for night work with my 10x8 hobo camera with a reversed componon 210mm

the rodenstock lens screwed into my crown and the spare 135mm cam i had was a perfect match, lol i love bargains.
 
Rolleiflex 3,5E Xenotar with FP4.
A real pleasure !
With the usual question : do you find film now for this camera ?
 
Canon T90 loaded with Kodak Ektar and Canon EF with Fuji Velvia 100
 
M6 and HP5+, while the Lad has Yashica D with NC400; FlashmeterIII by Minolta.
 
My Minolta Maxxum 4, going to pick up a Tamron lens for it tomorrow.
 
Canon EF with my favourite FD 35mm f2 lens loaded with Fuji Reala.
 
Mamiya RZ (first model) and Rolleiflex 3.5F
 
Kodachrome 64 in the N65, and Gold 200 in the Kodak Stereo Camera.

Depending on my mood maybe Portra 160NC in a Brownie, or maybe Ektar 100 in the Pentax 6X7.

The youngest turns 3 this weekend so it's a big party.
