Okay, so not really double the fun for this test roll but at least I got to know the features limitations of this little cute Golden Half camera. Loaded it with a roll of 400 film that came with it, I did most of the test shots using a Lomo …
A date with the beast
Yeah, a real big beast. A camera I’ve always wanted to own but never managed to bring it in as shipping gonna cost a lot due to the weight. It weighs around 2kg and it’s huge! It’s often referred to as a ‘SLR on steroids’ and was produced from 1984 …
Resurrected 35 bucks TLR
A TLR for $35? Well that’s about US$25 … for a TLR. Saw someone selling an old Haiou (Seagull) TLR (I think it’s the old 4A-103 model) for parts because the film advance wasn’t working. Took a risk and bought it to try resurrecting it and after a couple of …
Redscale double #1
First attempt at doing a double exposure with redscale film. Collaborated with Jimmy from 8storeytree.com, with myself exposing the back, while he did the front. Errmm … no … that sounds bad. Anyway, since redscale film means exposing the wrong side of the film, I did so and passed the …
Olympus XA – test roll
Honestly, I’ve never been a rangefinder fan because my old eyes can hardly focus with that darn little yellow patch (yeah, some told me the only solution to this is to buy a Leica (?!!)). Anyway, I found an Olympus XA at good bargain so I thought why not give …
Contax T2 – test roll
The last roll for the day (hey, it’s my birthday and what the hell am I doing running around taking photos?!) … a roll of 24 exposure Sensia film on a Contax T2 I found recently.
Nikon FA + Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1.4/50 – test roll
I’ve bought, played and sold a couple of old Nikon SLRs and finally settled on one which I really like … the Nikon FA. Coupled it with a CZ 50mm lens, I burned a roll of Provia on it today to test it out … I’m a happy man 😉 …
Funky old fella!
My first encounter with a TLR camera was about 2 years ago when I got myself a cheap Lubitel. It was a disaster … my first two rolls from it ended up in the trash bin. I took a risk and bought an old Chinese TLR from the 60s, the …
Test roll on the Nikon FG
Coupled with a roll of Ilford XP2 and an el-cheapo 50mm f1.8 E series lens, I did this test run around the Raffles hotel. I’m now addicted to black & white!
Saturday at Chijmes
Had some lots of beer yesterday afternoon at Chjmes with friends and managed some shots before my eyeballs turned fuzzy. Got the scans from the lab and was shocked to see lots of dust on them … damn … the guy at the lab must have droppped my negatives in …
