I’ve purchased another camera – yes I know, I don’t need yet another, but like most of my “keeper” cameras, this has a bit of a story to it. First of all it’s in beautiful condition. I would say as new. It was boxed with all the documents, has lived in it’s proper ERC (EveryContinue reading “Nikon FE2”

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”
Hasselblad Future
A while ago I wrote a post called “Hasselblad Past” that spoke of the Hasselblad 500cm that I used to own. After making a new years resolution with myself that I’d try not to buy any more cameras this year – well, you can guess what’s coming… The Hasselblad 503cm with the CFE 80mm CarlContinue reading “Hasselblad Future”
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”
Hasselblad Past
Once upon a time I owned a Hasselblad! I had fancied one for ages, and eventually I could afford one, just. I guess they were at rock bottom prices in the early 90’s. I caught an advert in the classified adds in Amateur Photographer, phoned up, discovered that it was only about 25 miles away,Continue reading “Hasselblad Past”
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”
