Yashica 44 - second set

2012-01-20T19:33:00.000-08:00

Here is the second roll of film from the Yashica 44! I borrowed that camera a while ago and have now returned it. I really enjoyed playing with it. Here are some photos!

The Kodak Pony 135!

This was my first time using a rangefinder and I will admit, I am only posting a few photos because a lot did not turn out so well. Trying out all these new cameras is really helping me work on being patient and figuring out my settings and making the perfect picture happen. Here are some of the photos I took around downtown Toronto.

Best of All! Some crazy double exposures

Hello!! Here are some photos from my Fuji Instax 210! It is pretty exciting to see how I am adjusting to the camera. It is a bit tough since it is so cold out and the instant film is quite sensitive to that. I must look like a lunatic on the street taking a photo with this beast of a camera and them holding the film in between rubbing the film for a few minutes and then shoving it in my pocket. Luckily, I am not watching myself. Haha.

New camera! Kodak Vigilant Junior six-20

2012-01-15T18:23:00.001-08:00

Very excited to use this camera! Everything seems to be in working order. I was thinking about going to buy film for it and for my brownie twin 20 but I do have 5 cameras that are loaded right now (7 if you count my instax cameras).... One thing at a time I suppose.

quick update

2012-01-10T21:56:00.000-08:00

i'm still new to this blogger/blogspot thing. I sent away another roll of 127 to the outlab and will get it back in a few weeks. First time cross processing and second time using the Yashica 44 camera. I had to return that camera though.

And I purchased a lens online too! Pretty exciting, hopefully will get it mailed in the next few weeks. Then to either, find an adapter and borrow an NEX 5N, find/borrow a rangefinder and test it out... orrrrr sell it. that is always an option.

I get paid this weekend and I am hoping to wake up early enough to check out the market and maybe pick up another fun camera before work on Sunday.

I have a couple half finished rolls in various cameras. trying to find the time to finish the rolls, process and then hopefully post on here! that's the idea, right?

Anyways, here is a photo of the Toronto Waterfront

Thanks for reading my ramble. Photos soon! I hope!

Happy New Years!

Super vintage Kodak Brownie Junior Six-16, which of course takes 616 film. I dont plan on re-spooling anything and I'm not sure if it even opens. Either way. Its a really awesome camera.

to whoever ends up reading this..

Well Hello there!

My name is Valerie. I go to flea markets and search online for vintage film cameras. I buy those cameras and I post pictures I took with them. That is pretty much what this blog is. I also have another blog on Tumblr. (www.fleamarketcameras.tumblr.com) .
