My Little Jim Poon RF Collection

[jonathan_wong]

Hi Guys

Yes it was indeed difficult to get mint condition ones. Those were over the years from Japan/USA.

Some people have bought a few cameras, butcher them and combine into one. For my collection, all were original and sent to Andrew of P&G for checking. He said can sell for a lot.

But for digital age, old cameras like these, how much can ask for?

bro why sell it if u not in hurry to encash? it is a hard to find camera as i can see from your collection. keep it for your son to witness the ERAs...i am sure in no time..film shooting heat will still come back.

i know a lot of film shooter..until today they still love the contrasty and saturation film can provide.

your collection takes time to build..do u bear to let them go?

Hello Kim

Thanks for the great advice. Yes I went to Konota (after 2 years) and Mr Quek introduced me many new film from Fuji. Shooting a few rolls and the feelllllll of B&W is back.

I still shoot with Nikon F90x and prime AFD lenses. But the pictures from GTN is really nice. Not to mention the Konica S3.

Cheers

For the past 7-8 years I simply was an armchair/bedside photographer. On a free day when work is not so hard and kid went to bed early, i would turn air con to full blast and take the camera out to shoot (at the television), twist twist here there look for fungus/fault. Nothing wrong? Back into the dry box. So this has happened so many times! :dunno:

Because of work relocation, I have to move all my items. I realized that I had never shot with most of them.

Strange enough, when I know I may loose all of them, I took the AFM and shot one roll of Fuji Acro. Good grief, the pictures pop. I am now doing a one camera a week thing, and hope to share some RF pictures. Age is catching up on me, and shooting with RF is a passion. Not suitable for Machine Gun type and immediate view. Ha ha. :bsmilie:

wah lovely collection and all in fantastic condition! the Konica makes me wonder if it can take on its more popular and 'newer' brother, the Konica Hexar. Thanks for sharing! If the Konica needs a new home I'm always willing to make some space in my dry cabinet
