Walking around downtown at night taking photos with a Pentacon Six and a Zeiss Summacron 180mm lens, hand-held. Boy, are my arms tired.

Wow this is a pretty old thread, Im going to be shooting some 8x10 paper negatives in my burke and james field camera using my good ole brass no-name rapid rectilinear barrel lens.

Finding my Bronica S2A and asking Jimmy Koh for another Black back (so as to have 2) and shooting the poor old tired of being shot cat and dog.... they don't like the S2A's noise....I'll use the 135 Nikkor!

[Ian Grant]

A Canon 300, bought 2 weeks ago brand new for £10 ($16) at a camera fair. Then it's my wife's to use.

I'd prefer to be shooting with my Exacta Varex IIb and Pancolor, Lydith etc but as per usual my baggage was over weight flying home, so it's still in the UK.

Speed Graphic with a 150mm G-Claron and Tmax 100. I was out last night (Christmas) and it was spectacular, half a moon, very calm, nobody around. Went to a park in San Bruno and then to a light industrial area also in San Bruno.

Pentax ME Super, 28-70mm centon (my "lucky" lens)- loaded with elite chrome
Braun Paxette with 50mm schneider and FP4
and a bolex B8vs with FomapanR 100

- for the next few weeks at least until i inevitably get bored and put a few back in the box and pull a few out.

I'm back in love with my favorite camera (again), a Chrome Bronica ETR. I was deep in the vintage rangefinder mode there for a few months but I found myself spending more time with replacing light seals, doing CLA's, and messing with various lens combinations to get a good camera set up with good results. After pulling out a bit of my hair with poor results and dust on these tiny 35mm negs I had to go back to Medium Format. My ETR, RB67, Yashica-D, and Mamiya's are certainly... soothing.

This week I must go out with the 6x12 panoramic camera I am building (link below). It will be held together with rubber bands for now and the rangefinder will be stuck on with gaffer tape but it's finally at the stage where it should be able to take pictures. If it works, I can then do all of the little finishing touches which will make it complete.

Nice. I can see you getting many requests for your camera.

[rafaelpeme]

Canon A1 + 50mm/1.4 with expired Konica Centuria 400 (12 exp.)

 

[Steve Smith]

How do I get on the list to order one?

I don't know if I want to build another one but if anyone wants the drawings (and CNC files) let me know by PM.

I'm shooting Fuji Reala with a Mamiya C330F because it's my easiest camera to operate with gloves on in the subzero weather we are having at the moment.

 

[Joe Grodis]

Broke out my Bronica-S w/ some Ilford Delta 400. It's a wonderful camera and keeps on going and going!

 

[wclark5179]

I've got a couple of Rolleicord IIb or Model 3 - Model K3 - 541 that I've been exercising lately.

During the cold weather I keep the camera I'm using inside my coat to keep it warm!

20 x 24 Wet Plate Collodion with a new lens! Its been a great week away from work. I'm just sorry I have to go back to work next week.

Circa 1895 Rochester Optical Co. "Standard" 6.5x8.5" view camera with its original 300mm Rapid Rectilinear lens, 4x5 reducing back (until the 6.5x8.5" film I ordered arrives.)

This was a first run after spending a bit of time tuning up the camera for use. Upon viewing images in the field through the lens for the first time, I can see one reason why contact printing was the norm in those days. Compared to modern optics, this particular lens is unsharp at any speed. Wide open, I could find no sharp parts of the image anywhere. With an f/16 waterhouse stop, I could see enough edge sharpness to focus the camera, but it was nowhere near as sharp as a modern lens. Go figure. I plan to use this camera primarily for portraits, so extreme sharpness is not required. It will be interesting to see images focused at a closer range. I suspect there's a "sweet spot" there somewhere. Or not.

The adventure continues.
