now what is this alarming I hear about locked winder?

From what I read it's related to a particular capacitor that goes bad. I keep meaning to get one of my X700s fixed, but I do have so many other SLRs that keep me busy!   And rangefinders, and box cameras, and old folders...  -Jim

I'm glad to see so many posting shots! Thank you, paul, sandeha, jack, damiand, phil, lawrie, sean, britt, leon, nigel, miller and sapata!

definitely some classics here~ some new, some old, some avatars that are fun to see in a larger size~

on that note, I think I'll include a larger version of my avatar I'm using now. one of my first caffenol experiments~



How do you like your 635? I've just acquired one about a month ago and I've been able to get two rolls through it. I love it so much sometimes I want to sleep with it under my pillow!

oh, it's a wonderful camera, christopher!
I really like how the controls are laid out on it -I can hold it in the palm of my left hand with each thumb for the shutter- and aperture dial and focus without a fuss with my right hand. lastly I fire off with one of my index fingers, from my left hand if it's a quickie or with my right hand for slower shutter speeds when I hold it to my chest.

At Phil's suggestion...

My 2nd assignment for my 52 Roll project was self portraits. I've never done them, and certainly don't like them, but these turned out ok I guess. I'll revisit the self portrait later on in the year.




And this is one my my happy accidents.

Excellent, Chris. The self portrait is always an interesting place to visit and this thread is the perfect place to dump them. Always good to see who we are talking to.

That Darkcloth seems quite unorthodox indeed, Heresy?  Do we auction now Greg`s camera or we wait a bit?

Hi, new to the Filmwasters forum, so a quick self-portrait. Dabble with film on and off, do digital mainly.
Just recently obtained an Olympus Trip 35 from the Freegle email list. Warranty card dated 1979! Works fine.
I used Kodacolour 400CN C41,  the first roll tried with this camera. Had a few frames left but it rained so just sitting in the car and pointing in various directions .... developed and scanned by the AG Lab.

simple:
  -find an image you want to use
  -right click it
  -copy the url adress
  -then paste it in in your forum profile.

I don't know if the forum resizes images, so try to find a small image you want to use. :)   no worries! the forum resizes.
everone else; sorry for going all OT over here ;)

Hello everyone. Long time lurker.... new poster. I used to develop all my own 35mm b/w, and might end up giving it a go again. This site is full of great info about it, and I'm having a lot of fun researching the cafenol tricks and tips.

Here's an old T-max shot. Nikon FTN 50mm 1.4.



Cheers.

Hi All,
Have been posting for a while but realised never really introduced myself, how rude? Sorry.
So, whilst on a recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales and following an early morning due to insomnia, I ventured down to a nearby fall but the sun rose and caused some contrast issues. I decided to have a coffee, taking in the sights and sounds of one of my favourite waterfalls. Then it hit me, I decided to take a self portrait with this thread in mind as I needed to come out of the closet so to speak.

So here's me, hate having my photo taken, but was a karma moment and sums me up.

Hello everyone. I'm Leonore and I'm new here. I was first introduced to the forum this year via Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. My boyfriend (02Pilot) built a pinhole camera to participate and I tagged along with my Lubitel 166B TLR and Olympus 35RC.

I've been shooting film off and on for 20 years - not a profession but a lifelong hobby - starting with the Pentax K100o I bought myself as a college graduation present in 1992 (yes, I just gave my advancing age away...). Since then I've expanded my equipment inventory. I do mainly 35mm, but also have quite fallen in love with medium format. My latest project is my father's 1965 Polaroid Land Camera Automatic 100. My great shame is that I haven't yet learned to develop my own film. That, however, should finally be rectified this summer.

Here's my 'selfie'.

I'm doing a Project 365 (a picture a day for a year) at http://moderndinosaur.wordpress.com. For that project, digital is a necessary evil, so I do resort to the Canon SX130 IS, but film is my real love, so I try to feature it as much as possible.
