What Film Cameras Do You Use?

[Genie In A Lightbox]

Post photos of your film camera!

I understand CS has a group of dedicated followers of film photography. But there is little discussion about film photography here. I hope that the film shooters in CS can come together to ignite interest in film among CS members despite the prevalence of digital photography today.

I hope this thread can encourage all the film shooters among CS community to come forward and show the various film cameras you all USE to take photos. It can be your SLR, rangefinders, point & shoot, medium format, large format, holgas, lomo cameras, TLRs, polaroids or pinhole regardless of brand, age and origin! As long as it is a film camera you use, share with us here! Hopefully, this can give CS members a chance to see the various choices we have.

Please note, this thread is not for you to showcase your shelf-queens or trophies of eBay. We want to see a camera that you use!

The site takes after the famous Tokyo Camera Style site.

I'm interested in trying out film cameras too, used my friend's one and the large viewfinder is addictive . I saw quite a few cameras over at TCW but I haven't saved up enough yet. Anyone knows where I can develop my film with a cheap price?

Yes, rain-man. I am aware of that site but my thread is solely dedicated just for film cameras and I hope to keep this thread as it is. I think both can co-exist together. Thanks for sharing!

Obviously, this is not the appropriate thread to ask this question. Please keep this thread clean. Thanks!

I am still actively using a few of my film cameras, including defunct models like the Canon A-1, 1V HS as well as Rangefinders like Fuji GA645W/ZI, Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander's R4A. Sometimes I use happy snappy like the Contax T2 too! Mostly mindless snaps and family photos. Nothing to shout about.

Cheers,

I cannot disagree with you on this thread, as this is not the talk of this thread.

Both digital and analogue will have their strengths and weaknesses.



Btw, I do own a couple of film cameras, shoot mainly slides.

Got my Fujifilm Natura Classica White Edition camera last month. Yet to finish my first roll of film. Also have a Voigtlander Bessa R4M with Color Skopar 21/4.

Nothing much really. Google and plently of reference photos for these common, cheapy gear even though some of them are obsolete. But prices have never been better as folks switch to digital.

Anyway, here's one of my favorite wide angle camera, Voigtlander Bessa R4A with the Color-Skopar 21mm f/4.

And a few pictures shot with the exact combo using Kodak's Portra 160VC.

I do like using the Portra 160 VC as I find the colors to be quite pleasant and it's fairly fine grain.

43mm is a bit long in digital. It has found a home in the mx.
