Spent almost the entire evening on MSN Messenger with a friend, discussing about a photo project we discussed about a long time ago. Not sure if we will wanna continue doing it soon or perhaps KIV it for another half a year, as we are busy with other things in life. We exchanged lots of pretty crazy ideas for things we plan to do, though it sounds rather weird as he’s more into making videos while I’m into photography. Still we had fun throwing all sorts of dare & ideas at each other. 😀 I love talking to people with fresh and crazy ideas.
Between all the crazy talk, he asked for my opinion about getting a Rollei Minidigi camera for his cute sister. That made me ‘hang’ for a few seconds. I went ‘Oh damn! I’ve totally forgotten about these two little cameras!’. Quickly I digged my dry cabinet to check if they were still around, then loaded them with batteries to make sure they didn’t die in their sleep. Also, I took a couple of shots with the autofocus version, as well as finding a couple of other photos I took some time ago when I bought it from a guy in a local forum.
The one I tested was the one on the left which is the autofocus version. I’ve yet to really use the one on the right though, as I purchased it earlier as a present for Fitzand when he turned one month old. At that time, only the focus free version was available. Nah, I still do not dare let him play with it now. Maybe in another year’s time.
Taken with the Minidigi resting on a milk powder tin in the kitchen. Cross-processed action applied in Photoshop.
Taken some time ago while driving home. A lil bit of Holga feel, perhaps due to my dirty windscreen.
Taken in my pretty dim room … handheld!
Think it’s time I bring these two babies out for some photo shooting instead of letting them hibernate in the cabi. I’m pretty impressed with the output from the AF version. It does take a while to auto focus but hey … I can’t be expecting too much from such a little ‘toy’!
y not i help fitz to take care of his toy till he old enuf to handle??? LOL
nb~ forgotten somemore. 😛
Noreen, I thought you wanna kill yourself and reincarnate as my son? Ooooops! I mean … daughter. 😛
Zann … errr … yeah. They are so cute that I don’t wanna bring them out to play. Hehe. In case I drop them. 😛
wa lao.. didnt know there was 2 versions.. didnt know U BOUGHT BOTH!
Wa lao! Jim! Noreen wants one! Muwahaha! The earlier version has no AF but it’s cool coz u can easily make Lomo-ish shots. I saw someone letting go the AF version for a good price and couldn’t resist grabbing it. Luckily I ain’t crazy enough to ‘collect’ the black ones too. 😛
I’m more into the digilux mini. Btw, can you email me the xpro action file? I’ve a few but none is “realistic” enough. ;p
Cyan … what’s a digilux mini? 😐 You mean the Minox?
Anyway, MSN me @ night for the action 😛 I mean Photoshop action 😛
So cute lah!!!! Hahaha!! Yeh, I know you know what I was referring to. I told you I wanted one before and decided not to in the end. Now there’s a gold model. Faint
Yeah, the gold model is damn hot! Argh! Dammit!
Buy!!! Good things come in pair just like the twins above!
U email me la. I may not go online later. Thanks! Oh btw, did you get the snap mag in the end?
Cyan, I know … but my salary doesn’t come in pairs. 🙁 I’ll try the lottery this weekend and we’ll see how it goes. The gold one … *drools*
I’ve dropped you an email 🙂
Was that the little Fitzand?
awhhhh Can I have one please?
@Ta : Yeah … that was Fitzand when he was 11 months old. This was taken when we were in Japan. I bought the cam there and he was the first to test drive it. LOL
If it’s alright to ask; how much did you get the rollei for? Have been looking for the red one for months! It’s like 3-400USD on the net it’s so CRAZY!
@Amanda : I can’t remember exact figures but I got the first version (non AF) from eBay for around USD200+. The AF version was a better buy because it was about SGD200+ when I bought it from a local seller who used it a couple of times.
