Thread: Film camara's

Hi Mate;

I use to lurv taking black & white shots with my Pentax LX1 , and MZ-S. I've still got all my Pentax Lenses in the draw , which will be going on Evilbay shortly ,but I doubt anyone would still buy Film Cameras thou.

Yes.
My Pentax is an ME Super, about 25 or 30 years old.

Not only do I do a bit of basic darkroom work myself, but I am currently teaching "Wet Photography" as it tends to be called now, to Year 11 students.

It still has the capacity to interest even young people who have grown up with cameras in their mobile phones.

I reckon some of the best portraits are black and white.
cheers

I still use my 1985 model Nikon FM2 regually I also have a Nikon FT2 that I some times use. There is still a good market for the old 35 mm film cameras.

I suspect only for the good old 35mm cameras, like Nikons or some of the other name brands. Is that right?

The camera club in Sydney has sale twice a year, I've been a few times now and its a great place for a bargan. The place is always packed and a lot of money changes hands. 35 mm and the medium to large format camera's are the main sales and any of the really old camera's are collectable, but you can still get a few dollars for the old the box Brownie. Next time your at the newsagents look in the camera section for a yellow covered book it's like the trading post for camera stuff.

All i know is that the Pentax wet film SLR i bought in 2001 is completely worthless now and just sits on the cupboard collecting dust. I look at them on fleabay every now and then and get depressed seeing a 700 dollar camera selling for 15 bucks.

My Nikon 801s is worthless as well..........$150.00 perhaps?
