The original Japanese magazine version would at least have something to turn it into a decent display but that's more like $60+ shipped.

I live in Japan and came across it at a bookstore a few weeks ago, picked it up for about US$30. Haven't had time to put it together yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I wish I had packed my parts bin along, I have two Lomo LC-A lenses back home in the USA that would have been cool to swap in.

Went to a dance party on Saturday and for camera safety brought my Stylus, got some decent snaps. For $10 it's a much sharper image than what a digital point and shoot can pull off.

I shot a concert with a Stylus Epic and some Arista Premium: http://www.mikechow.com/Concerts-2010/NinjaspyEndastWithout/13718217_ZpCRhF My only grievance is that the camera would focus on the background about a quarter of the time.

Can anybody ID which camera took was used here and has that timestamp? I asked one person who had a similar photo which looked like it had the same yellow timestamp and he said it was taken with an Olympus Stylus Zoom. To my knowledge there are many different versions of it but random flickr and internet searches have not been able to confirm. Anybody know which camera makes that timestamp?

 I am so amazingly happy to have my Stylus back after it being gone (had mailed it to a friend as part of a failed Kodachrome project), I may never let it leave my side.

contax t2 ektar 100 ektar is great for some situations, but the reality is you get an inconsistent product. Im gonna keep putting portra in this cam.

tuddy posted:contax t2 ektar 100 Ektar is pretty funky and I wouldn't really recommend it for cameras that have poor control of exposure. It's kind of like slide film in that it has limited exposure latitude. It gets really funny casts after about a stop mis-exposure either way. Blues turn cyan, reds become fire-engine red, everything else turns a bit more earthy (brown/red). Epson Scan's auto exposure also messes up on the blue channel highlights, so I have to manually correct all the skies unless I want them to be yellow. It's cool if you want a low-fi look or if you can get the exposure right consistently. I think it looks great along with an old Ikonta viewfinder-folder with a triplet lens I have. If you want serious-business 100 speed film buy Reala, it's way more consistent. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Oct 6, 2011 |

Maybe I just suck at scanning it. its also a saturation issue, if you look at the picture of the sheep its very saturated, while the pig and cow photos are way more neutral. I liked ektar with the leica mini 3 i was shooting with, because that tended to saturate photos as is. But i guess its just not the right film for the "look" im going for with my contax. Having said all this. I will try out the Reala - so thanks for the recommendation :0

Ektar is pretty saturated to start off with and gets more saturated when you overexpose it. Reala is designed to replicate the colors you see - it's pretty saturated, sort of like a warmer Provia.

I had one bad experience with Ektar. Shot an entire roll of pictures that I thought would turn out great. When I got the film back and looked at it, the range of colors in those photos looked like the range of colors from a fresh pile of vomit. Never going back.

I've also only shot the one roll, it didn't seem to like the full on mid-day sun, horribly saturated, but it did look great in the morning/afternoon golden hours.

The downside of the T2 is that it's a bit on the big and heavy side, but not show-stoppingly so. The controls aren't as nice as the ones on the Ricohs either.

In small town North Dakota for a week so I decided to check out the local pawn shop for any camera gems, anyone have any experience with any of these cameras? Ricoh AF-5 Konica C35 (EF) Minolta Hi-Matic F The Minolta is in the best condition although the chances of any of them working for me are probably slim. It seems to have some very basic exposure controls and I have been looking for a nice compact 35mm. All were priced fairly reasonably if they are in operable condition however.

tys posted:In small town North Dakota for a week so I decided to check out the local pawn shop for any camera gems, anyone have any experience with any of these cameras? The Hi-Matic F has no exposure controls, but neither do any of the others. The battery is also hard to find. On the other hand it's probably the nicest out of those three, it's actually a decent lens and the exposures are pretty good. The other two are your basic point and shoots. I wouldn't pay more than $10-20 for any of them even if they can demo them working. Hi-Matic F warning: you need to look at the shutter blades when you test-fire the shutter. If, for example, there are no batteries in it, it will click like it's firing, but it's not. It used mercury batteries, but you can get zinc air cells to make it work. Because of the way the battery compartment is made, you probably won't be able to make the usual "wad-of-tinfoil adapter plus 675 battery" solution work. I have a Hi-Matic F sitting in a drawer but have never gotten around to getting the right batteries. I tried the tinfoil solution, I'm pretty sure I saw it fire the blades once but it wouldn't stay put in the compartment. It's sort of semi-tested. I'm trying to clean up some of my crap, so if you want it, you can have it for $5 plus actual fees/shipping. Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Nov 9, 2011 |

I know this isn't strictly P&S, but someone is selling a Voigtlander Vitessa L with the ULTRON lens for $180. Problem is the rangefinder is busted in some way. Feasible to get this fixed somewhere?

If the RF is just misaligned, you might be able to do it yourself, or it'll cost you $100 to get a professional to fix it. If it's got broken parts (somehow), you could be screwed unless you have a parts camera, manage to dig up 50s era parts, or pay someone to make a replacement for you. That doesn't sound like that great a price considering it's got a broken RF. Yeah, the Ultron is the top of the line lens, but consider the fact that you're probably going to drop minimum another $100 into it (in time or cash). Is it worth $300? I think that's about what they go for anyway, and there's no risk of a parts catastrophe. Personally I'd try to talk him down to $100 territory considering. If it's no problem to fix, he could do it himself and sell it for full price anyway.

The guy is selling a whole pile of stuff, but only has so much posted. He also had a Polaroid SprintScan 35 that I was going to pick up with a rangefinder, but it's not the 4000DPI one I thought it was, so doubtful it'll be that decent. He says he has some MF and LF too that he's posting later, but trying to get more info about those before I pick up a rangefinder. He has lots more besides the Voigtlander, like a Yashica J & Lynx, Ricoh 35, even a mini Rollei. I'll try to find our more about the busted RF though, looks like a beautiful camera.
