She needs a good clean a little dust in the box, but seems pretty serviceable,
It is a sexy Camera :)

I'm a little scared to think what the film might cost, and to process :o

[dullbird]

can't you get your own set up? or would that be to costly

[GS-ADI]

No idea how much that would cost?,.. :) I would like that, but I think, I should master the camera before turning the office into a darkroom :) It would be cool but,

If you're lucky it takes semething like 120 rollfilm. Should be able to get bulk lots on ebay, or used to be able to. A while ago I posted up a link to instructions for developing film with orange juice and instant coffee. I haven't tried it yet, but looked interesting.

Where do u put the memory card ? :wasntme:

[GS-ADI]

:) Film is in, and we are ready to roll,.. took a little bit to work out what I was doing :)

[chunk]

Nice to see someone else that appreciates a good film camera, don't forget to post some of the photo's when you get them developed.:)

[GS-ADI]

Dropped it off today,. and it should be done by friday,. :) I stuffed some of the setting up,.. so Im not sure how they will turn out,.

it is a learning curve ;)
Was lucky to pick up some cheap film, that has a faster turnaround,. so I shall be snapping alot more :)
no matter how bad they are,.. I will post them up

[GS-ADI]

Here they are :) they turned out better then I thought,
I dropped another roll off,. a different type of film, so I am really excited to see how they turn out :)
These are all shots around Newcastle

the main thing I really notice,. is the soul the photos have over the stuff I take with the Digital,.
:) there is lots of cool stuff in Newcastle, so I hope to get more photos up soon

[chunk]

Not bad at all for a first go, I hope those spot are on your scanner and not inside the lens.

[GS-ADI]

Thankyou :) Dust specs in the box,. I am getting more and more out each time I open it for more film,. the air it sucks in when it opens out seems the blow it around abit,.. adds a little bit to the effect :D i'm looking to get a mild vac near it, to see if I can coax some of the tricky bits out,..

[GS-ADI]

it looks like monday will be when the new photos will be up :)
has anyone here done any work with useing a flash with an old Camera? do I just light some fireworks and go click?

[GS-ADI]

here are the new set, I should be getting my truck back this arvo,. so I will be takeing some old timey photos with her soon..

[dullbird]

they are great...how much is it costing to get film and have it developed?

[GS-ADI]

I got a great deal on some film at $2 a roll,
and it costs $18 to get it developed and put onto a CD, very high quality scans too,. so you can get massive prints made if you really wanted to & just go to kmart when they are on sale to do it. or a printer for poster size. The stuff I post, I host on facebook so they shrink it down a lot,

Nearly no one in newcastle will develop this stuff,. but there is a place in Adamstown, near the Henny Penny,.. I like to drop the film off, and have a 2 piece feed :) this film I can pick up the next day.
