Half Frame: Olympus EE-2

When I think back over maybe 46ish years of photo making I’ve used and owned pretty much all formats that might be considered “normal”. By this I mean mainstream enough that you may once have found the films on sale at your local camera store of the day. I’ve never tried 5×7 or 11×14 (yet)Continue reading “Half Frame: Olympus EE-2”

126: The end of the line

I’ve written before that my first camera was an Ilford Sportsman 50c 126 camera. To be honest looking back it was awful. It did however get me hooked on photography! When the shop I was working in got down to it’s last roll of 126 film (20 years ago?) I purchased it for old timesContinue reading “126: The end of the line”

35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea

Whilst taking a family member to hospital the other day, I had a good hour or so to fill, so I decided to have a wander. I have often been to Poole and written about it, but this time I thought I’d try a different patch. The Hunger Hill area is off the beaten walkingContinue reading “35mm: Leica Goes to the Sea”

Leica M6

When I was 50 (nearly 4 years ago, in case you were wondering!) I decided that I would treat myself to a “once in a lifetime” purchase, to mark this landmark. Some might say midlife crisis! Call it what you will. I had also just sold my 5×4 outfit – a Toyo 45a, so IContinue reading “Leica M6”

35mm: Takumar Trek Pt1

I’m determined to get out and about with my cameras more this year. The idea of a “Takumar Trek” caught my eye over on the “Random Camera Blog” (link on the blogs I read page), so I’ve stolen the title, and am going to take my own Spotmatic SPII out for walkies. Just in caseContinue reading “35mm: Takumar Trek Pt1”

Rollei 35B

I have recently been having a clear out, 6 or 7 cameras have left my possession, some books, CD’s, – clothes are the next thing to edit! I’ve also been more selective of the cameras that have been incoming over the last 6 months, I have plenty after all! One that I did let throughContinue reading “Rollei 35B”

Olympus Mju-1

I haven’t done my lunch-hour charity (thrift) shop wander for about 4 or 5 weeks. Maybe because of that I found a little gem! I have just reduced my camera collection considerably to concentrate more on fewer cameras that I’m going to use regularly. That said who could turn down an Olympus Mju-1 (infinity stylusContinue reading “Olympus Mju-1”

Canon AE-1 Program

The Canon AE-1 Program(me), is a classic camera by any standard. Released by Canon in 1981, it built on the success of the earlier AE-1 by adding a programme exposure mode. Mine has the 50mm f1.8 lens mounted and along with it’s 6v (KS28) battery, weighs in at just 565g. In the said programme modeContinue reading “Canon AE-1 Program”

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”
