When Kodak announced to the world it was bringing back Ektachrome in 2018, I was very pleased. I used quite a lot in the 80’s, eventually changing over to Kodachrome, which I used for much longer. With the demise of Kodachrome I swapped over to Fuji Sensia. As soon as it was made available IContinue reading “Kodak Ektachrome E100”

Rollei 35s
Another new to me camera, I just couldn’t resist! I brought it for only a few pounds, it has the case, but the zip has broken, still it protects the camera as a sleeve. The previous owner left a PX625 battery in it, that had corroded. I cleaned it up as best I could, butContinue reading “Rollei 35s”
Kodacolor 200
A while ago I wrote about my mini Olympus collection, amongst which is the Mju II. I’ve just run another film through it – this time the Kodacolor 200 (left), which had an expiry date of 2002! I had to do a little work of colour correction in photoshop, but not a huge amount. TheContinue reading “Kodacolor 200”
Out and About with the Trip 35
A few posts back I wrote about my Mini Olympus Collection – such as it is. I’ve since put a roll roll through the Mju II, this time it’s the turn of the original Trip 35. I thought I’d have a go at dating mine, the most accurate way is to remove (un-clip) the pressureContinue reading “Out and About with the Trip 35”
Canon Sureshot Supreme
Not that I need yet another 1980’s compact film camera but you know me and a bargain! This one I picked up for just £5 in a charity/thrift store – complete with it’s case. it’s one of those cameras that when I was in my early teens would have loved, and I must admit amContinue reading “Canon Sureshot Supreme”
Olympus Collection
I don’t claim to be a camera collector but an amateur photographer. Despite this I seem to amass cameras none the less. I now have a set of three, Olympus compact 35mm cameras, that span the ages, and make an interesting line up. The original trip 35 was introduced in 1967, aimed at the pointContinue reading “Olympus Collection”
Another day, another film!
The more films I try, the more I think I should just stick with Fp4 or Delta 100! I am however grateful that we have the choice of films that we do! This roll fell into my lap. In fact I helped someone sort out their camera, they asked me to dump the film. AContinue reading “Another day, another film!”
HP4
No it’s not a typo, in the tin is some HP4. I recently purchased a box of “photo bits” mainly for the Olympus Af10 I wrote about here. Lurking in the bottom of the box was this old rusty tin, with a hand typed label, you see above. The first thing was to open itContinue reading “HP4”
Olympus AF10
There is little that is special about the Olympus AF10, it’s a straight forward point and shoot camera. It has a 35mm f3.5 lens that is nice and sharp and doesn’t seem to noticeably vignette at the corners. It is DX coded but only to 4 points, rather like zone focus in DX terms. SoContinue reading “Olympus AF10”
Exeter Cathedral on XP2
For a few years now I’ve been working on a little project, which is to visit and photograph all of the Church of England Cathedral’s in Britain. This is usually combined with being closer to one on a vacation, rather than driving from one end of the country to the other to visit one! WhenContinue reading “Exeter Cathedral on XP2”
