Milsurp After Hours

Batteries arrived today, 10 for €7,99 / £6.90 / $8.49. Got to run a film through it now................

So, here is the full kit......



Pictures to follow as and when

I look forward to the photos and the story of the old school camera shoot. Anybody in that photo club of yours do any film photography?

There are a couple of people who still do film and about 4 who are interested to learn. We have access to a small darkroom in a village about 10 kms. from here if we book it in advance.

Maybe you can start a retro camera club.

I just "won" a $5 retro camera. It was what was called a bridge camera. It was a point and shoot camera made to look and somewhat function as a conventional SLR. It's a Olympus IS-1. Some say it tried to put the best features of both style of cameras into one package. Others say, it took the worst features of both styles and put them in one package. In any case they seemed to have taken some decent photos. The one I "won" was advertised as having worked the last time it was used...years ago. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't. It's a surprise coming from the grab bag.

I have a friend who has never taken to digital photography. He shoots colour slides only. I think it is Fuji film he uses mostly these days.

I got these with the T70 camera that didn't work so I may run them through the A-1 in time........

Just waiting for an exposed film now but if this weather continues it could be months

What's weather got to do with it?

It's pissing down all the time at the moment
