CAMERAS
I have just set up a display of old (ish) cameras in our Gîte, hoping that it would encourage some of the guests to take up my photo tuition mini-course and I thought you might like a look too. They are behind perspex to keep sticky fingers off them - don't want them 'dry firing' all the time

Re: CAMERAS
I still have my Pentax Spotmatic with 35mm, 50mm, 135mm and 200mm lenses. It has a couple of dents on the prism housing where the tripod fell on it. I haven't used it for a while. I think there is a half used film still in it.

Re: CAMERAS
Just like showing pictures of muzzle loaders. It's a digital world now. I've got some Kodak stock to prove the photo giant is now a midget and film is a thing the general public has given up on. Although I still play with my film cameras once in a blue moon it's mostly a dead art as far as I'm concerned.

Re: CAMERAS
The Olympus Pen-EE is a half frame 35mm camera so a 36 film would produce 72 images. It got clobbered by an ammo box one time at Catterick so doesn't work now which is a pity as it had a great lens and good metering.

Re: CAMERAS
Never had a half frame camera. I always figured the half size would play hell with the grain when making prints.

Re: CAMERAS
The photo was taken with my Canon EOS350D and a Sigma 18-200mm lens. I also have the Canon 18-55mm lens but it stays in the bag now.
Because of my problems with the carpel tunnel in my right hand and the lack of strength in my right arm I might buy a Canon G11 to ease the pressure / weight.

Re: CAMERAS
I'm annoyed because I can't find film for my old Kodak 'vest' autographic (the 1917, rather than the 1913) - unfortunately, it takes 127 roll film and nopbody seems to make it anymore.
It was a bitter blow when I couldn't get black and white film for it (I maintain that, with unbloomed lenses, it's a black and white camera) , but now I can't find any film at all.

Re: CAMERAS
Tom, try this place. They suggest that they ship international with what looks like a toll free number for questions.
