Guest Randle P. McMurphy Posted May 11, 2011 Share #343 Posted May 11, 2011 I've got five, two slrs, two M6s and one TLR. I mostly use the Leicas... Sorry for my curiosity but why did you bought a M6 (0,58) if you dont use a bigger wide-angel-lens than 35mm ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

angstmann Posted May 14, 2011 Share #346 Posted May 14, 2011 Recently ventured into film for the first time since I was a teenager, back then I didn't know much about photography and just snapped away with whatever cameras were available. I've spent the last 10 years or so with various digital point and shoots until I grabbed my first DSLR last year. That has led me to to start to really understand photography for the first time and has awakened a new interest in shooting film... so after that preamble.... I currently have 5 film cameras! Petri 7s Yashica Electro 35 GX Kowa Model E Minox B Some sort of Minolta Autofocus point and shoot Of the 5, only the Petri and the Minolta seem to be fully functional. I'm currently running some Tri-X through the Petri. Would love to try the Minox B as its in great condition, but sourcing film, not to mention the processing of it seems a bit of a problem. I have no Leicas (yet!), but really interested in something like an M2, as that's probably all I can afford in the near future. I think I should probably stop 'acquiring' old non-working film cameras on eBay and start thinking about acquiring something I can use with a modicum of reliability!

Paulus Posted May 15, 2011 Share #349 Posted May 15, 2011 Regular use: M9 Irregular use: M6,Minilux, Nikon F3 , buying a new MP! Why not? From the moment I made my first shot with my M9, I began to appreciate my film cameras even more! And look at the silver efex pro programm. Wonderful tool. It beats the work in the darkroom. Never could I get so much out of a print, but.... I surely would mis the feeling of printing my own films in the dark, when I no longer use film.

poptart Posted May 15, 2011 Share #350 Posted May 15, 2011 2 M7 (.72, .85), 2 Contax Aria, and a Canon Ftb. Love and use them all, the Canon the least but it is a sentimental favorite so will never get rid of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear6565 Posted May 16, 2011 Share #354 Posted May 16, 2011 Film is the only honest medium Painters can choose not to paint a detail,writers can choose not to include a quote, digital files can be manipulated,the neg is the truth. One camera is all you need - MP I love shooting with mine & can see no reason not to continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted May 16, 2011 Share #355 Posted May 16, 2011 Just one - chrome MP. Why would I need anything more? Weeell ... 1/4000th for a fast lens wide open on a bright day without a ND filter?

No it is not. It is a choice out of a multitude of realities and is manipulated by the composition and timing. A photographer can choose which moment and part of the image not to include.

bear6565 Posted May 17, 2011 Share #360 Posted May 17, 2011 My point is at the time an artist choose to record a moment, you cannot undo the neg, it's embedded like no other. I agree that a photographer could choose NOT to click and ignore, but when they do, it is indeed undone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
