I was just poking around back in the early pages of this thread, and to give everyone a sense of the time that's passed, VomitOnLino posted the first reply under my OP and follow-ups. That was on January 31, 2012, and he's just now actually gotten his hands on it. Nearly 25 months - is that a new record?

Yeah I just realized that, too. Mind: Blown.
Handoff to alkanphel will be early May (2nd) unless he runs into space and or weight problems with his flight in which case I'll just ship it. But I'm confident the handoff will proceed just fine.

I have no idea. But there's your and other folks signature on it so we could count that, maybe? Although it seems like execudork (and maybe some others) didn't sign it. I will edit this post when I get back from work.

Oh, and of course I'll be sure to add my own Japanese oddball films to this camera, too!
Uxi or Sakuracolor anyone?! (The portra crew is probably having a collective aneurysm right now.)

I'm not sure that camera's ever touched portra.

Hell, the closest it's come to color kodak film was probably the kodachrome I used.

I, uh, I actually shot a roll of Portra 400 with it. See, I had this plan that I'd take it on a ferry cruise to Stockholm (and back) and get drunk while doing it since I had a cruise lined up and the thread title at the time basically told me to. So I loaded up a roll of Portra, took a few snapshots, waited for the cruise and promptly got sick on the day of departure.

I now have around 36 frames of "poo poo I need to burn this roll of film down fast" pictures, a collection of which I'll upload somewhere at some point in the near future.

ed: And the camera seems to have a nice light leak.

Next time, lets send a holga and an instax w/ 1 pack of instax film. The receiving party needs to include a new pack of instax and at least 1 developed shot. Keep all of the developed shots in the mailing case (which should be smaller than the current suitcase).

I'm still holding onto the AE1 - shameful, I know. Basically I got stuck in a huge project and couldn't slip in some 35 action there. I will be going camping this week tho and it will come with me.

To make up for the delay I'll include some exotic J-film and some boxes Kodak Ultramax as I send it on.

First of all, a big sorry! for being so darned late! But, between being stuck in a rut, two gallery exhibitions, private and professional upheaval I completely mismanaged the time. Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Alas; finally...

One is not like the other...

Panasonic Design Company Camera Display

Also I've made us famous, okay -- well; Tumblr famous. Basically when shooting the AE-1 around the world camera I ran into noted photographer John Sypal and he did a thing for his Tokyo Camera Style. And we're in it! Here's the relevant tumblr post: clicky clicky.

Last but not least, I'm going to grab the C41 off the Lab today, at long last I'll have some BW and Color photographs to show for the long rear end time I've had this camera. Let's hope neither camera nor lab did gently caress it up or I just might have to seppuku.

Anyway, this brings me to my next two points:
- I need D.I.C.P.I.X Tumblr access
- And because of the delay alkhanpel can't take the camera because he's off to his big trip. So -- Who's next?

Yes, send it to Australia, then after it's wandered around there for a bit I'm sure Alkanphel will be back from his big adventures and able to show us the (grainy, poorly exposed, misfocused) sights of Singapore or wherever. I'm not accusing Alkanphel of those faults, I'm talking about the limitations of the camera.

I had to reset my tumblr password it's been so drat long.
