I've stopped buying stuff. It's become absurd.

Films used, ?processed

The photo of the railroad trestle was shot with the Pentax SP 1000 in 35mm on FP4+ and developed in HC110-H for 6:30. The picture of a festival in Indianapolis was shot on 120 with Kentmere 100, pushed to 125 and also processed in HC110-H for 6:30.

I'm trying to do the same. I've got north of 50 cameras right now and as much fun as it is buying a $13 Jsolette and getting it working again, when done, it's just something that I need to keep dusted in the curio cabinet.

Having just said that I don't want any more cameras, I do find myself wanting one of these now.

Latest folder purchase: Aires Viceroy. Coupled rangefinder, dual format (6x6 and 6x4.5) and framelines!

On the way, a just-CLAed Leica M4 that looks very nearly perfect.

 

[rduraoc]

Pentax 645N in very good condition - heavier beast than I was expecting. Also a 75mm f/2.8 that was supposed to be AF, but in the package was only a A. Return process already started, but now I'll have to get another lens...

 

[Dan13]

Olympus XA2. It's my second, after the first one I bought died mid-roll.

Very nice camera. I have an old Aires Viscount 35mm rangefinder camera and its lens is one of the best lenses I have used on a fixed lens 35mm. Yours should be great. Let us know how the camera works out for you.

That looks like a nice handy camera!

It's quite nice actually. The viewfinder is nice and bright, but the RF patch is a bit dim (I knew this when I bought it) - I'll fix that by replacing the semi-transparent mirror. It's quite similar in operational feel to the Super Fujica-6, weight is similar to a Super Ikonta III.

I've only shot a test roll so far. The camera seems to perform quite nicely, and the lens is certainly sharp enough:

Nice camera, nice shots.

I've gone on a bit of a wild, but satisfying, spending spree over the last month or so.
Pentax 6x7 non mlu
Pentax 645
Pentax PC35AF-M
P67 75mm,105mm, 135 macro and a 200mm.
No lens with 645 so I have a cheap 67 to 645 adapter that only works in manual but the real deal Pentax adapter arrives tomorrow.
Non working flash on PC35 but that's fine with me.
I actually bought everything at very reasonable prices too.
Guess I like Pentax...

Lovely Rolleiflex f3.5 Tessar. Going to try it out with a roll of Hp5 tomorrow. He also threw in a Graflex 6x9 roll film back for my Speed Graphic!

 

[Cholentpot]

Just got an Estes Astrocam 110.

Oh yes.

Be envious.

 

[Mr Flibble]

I was hoping this would cure my GAS for a while....

....it hasn't....

You need a 110 Astrocam.

 

[Mr Flibble]

You need a 110 Astrocam.

MMmmh, maybe

 

[NiallerM]

A Sinar F2. It's quite the beast. Last camera I'm allowed for a while.

Of course, if that works, you'll have to send off an order for some BT-50 and BT-55 and their centering rings and dig through the internet for the plans to an Omega-D (and maybe a decal sheet).

Nah, just one time use with flash paper as wadding. You think the roll of Kodak Gold that's in the package is any good? Expired 02/2002.

I do have to dig up some engines, wadding, a launch rail, igniter and fuse. Other than that I'm good to go. I haven't used one of these since before 9/11, I don't think I can do what I used to do with these things anymore. Maybe laws/culture has changed. Either way I'm gonna get some sweet 110 shots of my roof.

I'd probably order a roll of Lomography film. And you do know, don't you, that you'll get only one exposure per flight, right?

As far as I know, the NAR Safety Code kept model rocketry much as it was before 9/11 -- especially with the Estes 1/4A through D motors.

I know, I was friends with a Dentist's kid growing up. He got one of these and we had fun.

I have some fresh frozen rolls of 110 in my freezer. I figure even if I don't use up the roll I can swap it out into another camera and lose a frame or two.

Thanks for the info on rocket code.
