I just cleaned up an old Agfa B2 Cadet that was given to me the other day and loaded it up with a roll of Freestyle/Arista Ultra B&W 120 (aka B2 film in the old days), and that's when the sun went away and the thunderstorms started. I'm thinking I need full sun for this cardboard box and tiny plastic lens, can't wait to see the results tho. I have an Ikomat 520/2 on the way in the mail from FleaBay too, looks pristine in the pics. Rolleicord, move over! Looks like my six old 35mm SLRs will get a bit of a break while I blow off some 120.

Tomorrow, there's a Volvo car meet that I'm going to. Going to be finishing up a roll of Fuji NPH 400 and working on a roll of Ilford Delta 3200. The Fuji is in my F2A, and my F has the Delta 3200 in it. Probably will have my 85f1.8, and my 50f2 with me. Maybe another lens, like the 24f2.8...

[benjiboy]

I'm shooting with a Canon F1N AE body loaded with Fuji Velvia 50, and a Canon EF body with Fuji 400X.

 

[Whiteymorange]

An fR Reporter camera (an inexpensive 2.25x3.25 press camera) with a 4" Petzval mounted on a copal #1 shutter. Who knows? The lens seems to cover 6x6 better than 6x9 and it would really help to have a view screen.... (G.A.S. attack may be imminent) Maybe a Bronica or it's more expensive cousins?

 

[roninghost]

Nikon F100 w/ilford fp4+ 20-100 f3.5

[TheFlyingCamera]

I'll be using the Rolleiflex over the weekend.

 

[djohnfot]

A Canon T90 for color and a Nikon N65 for B&W.

 

[cknapp1961]

Franka Rolfix with Radionar lens 6x9 with Fuji Acros 100, Bronica ETRS for "street shooting 4th of July), really enjoying the 120 format lately, and a Nikon N80 (Kodachrome for fireworks of course!).

I am 47, and have been a photo hobbyist since about 1977, worked for a studio for 5 years, owned a Bronica ETRS back in the 80s, and various Nikon equipment. Since purchasing the Franka Rolfix and shooting 6x9cm B&W and making my own prints again in a "wet darkroom" I realized something. All the money I spent on 35mm and 645 format equipment over the years was just an attempt to achieve through technology (better lenses?) what the older larger formats could achieve by sheer size. I am not 100 percent sure but I think the negatives from my Frank Rolfix (which I got on E-bay for under $50 US) are sharper than those shot with my Bronica ETRS, at least they appear sharper on the print easel under the focusing aid, and the 11x14 prints are outstanding (yes a bit of softness in the corners, but I like the effect).

I am not sure that moving up to 4x5 would fit my shooting style, but a Graflex Century with a 6x9 back (or two, or three), and some lens movement seems very attractive, and I would not have to upgrade my darkroom.

And my Dad said I would never learn anything.

 

[Peter Schrager]

this week

my new/old polaroid 450 and the fuji 100 pack film....forgot exactly how much fun instant film photography really is!! and the results are beautiful
Best, Peter

 

[P C Headland]

This weekend, it was a new-to-me Ricoh 500G rangefinder loaded with Kodak BW400CN. This is the first proper roll through the camera, and first time I've used the BW400CN film.

It's quite a nice little camera to use, shutter priority or manual, and works (meterless) without batteries. It does have a slightly strange sounding shutter - as sort of "ping" sound. All part of the character I suppose.

I picked the roll up yesterday from the photo shop, and the results look good.

 

[darkosaric]

At the end of this week I am going on vacation (Istanbul and Bangkok ).
So this week and next 3 weeks I am shooting with nikon F3 with 50/1.8, and another F3 with 105/2.5.

or me 6x9 folder....

Loaded with FP4 and HP5

 

[steven_e007]

I WAS supposed to be trying out an Agifold. Alas when I tried to give it a CLA I found the rangefinder had shed most of the siver (or Aluminium) from it's semi-silvered beam splitter. Consequently I have left it in bits whilst I source a new bit of semi-silvered glass.

So instead - I've resurrected a Voigtlander Perkeo I. I tried this out a few weeks ago, it was a lemon
I purchased it off eBargumBay... It looked good but was incapable of taking a sharp picture. Ater a bit of TLC it seems someone had taken the front focussing ring off, maybe to clean the otics - and refitted it without setting up the distance scale.

A few minutes with a bright light and a tape measure and hopefully it may perform a little better, now
