I got 'new' toys!

Postby Raskill on Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:05 am

So, I've decided that digital is here to stay.... Apparently..... :wink:

So, I'm swimming against the tide, I'm fighting change.... I've bought myself a Kodak Retinette, in perfect condition, good lord cameras used to look nice, all leather and steel. Anyways, I'll post an image once I get some nice 35mm b&w film.

I think i'll use the sekonic light meter with it, rather than the one that came with it, that has a dial...

Speaking of film, anyone have a good place to get it developed in NSW?

Also, I'm on my way out to the door to be picking up another 'new' cameras, a Leica DRP that I have 'inherited' as my sons great grandfather passed away and a Olympus Ashasi and what ever else I wish out of his collection.

SO, it seems it's time to buy a negative scanner :)

I see a future where there may be a market for 3 to 5 digital cameras. :)

Can't wait to see the gear and results.

Regarding developing - develop your B&W film yourself!

I just bought a waist level finder for my Nikon F. I will get it serviced and start shooting some
Tri-x.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
