Canon EOS 55 film camera, £8.99 on eBay! It's the Japenese version of the Canon EOS 50 (UK) or Elan II (US). Just ordered some rolls of Kodak Portra 160 to test it over the next couple of weeks. Both the camera & the film is new to me! Excited to shoot this Autumn now.

Admired it.. & longed to shoot.

Currently slightly obsessed with the Arctic Monkey's album AM.

Might be handy to point out that the Metro (free paper on the trains) have that day's sunrise & sunset times amongst other forecasts on the inside of the cover. Found it useful on occasion!

If you're looking for inspiration, prep or perhaps just some artist research (it being for college & all haha) I'd recommend taking a look at Keith Carter's work! Beautiful traditional work with interesting use of focus & blur to add a dreamy look.

Completely agree & I'm someone whose only grown up in the digital age. I'm envious of some of these film SLR's listed, I think I'm due a new one! haha.

These are all valid points. My shabby work above isn't intended to reflect on the camera's capabilities, more my own incapabilities haha. But you get the gist of what it can do. If it hadn't been as cheap as it was I probably would have looked further afield as I'm usually one of those ignorant...

Exactly haha. Thanks I didn't actually know that bit of background information. I just wanted something manual to learn on & have so far ended up keeping it.

These are currently the only shabby prints I have on this Macbook I'm afraid. Phenix DC303K loaded with Ilford HP5 400. Printed in the darkroom in 2010 on Ilford MG paper (without first cleaning my negs apparently, I'm ashamed to discover) & scanned with whichever the college had then, memory...

Yeah I think it pretty much is, everyone has to look it up so I wondered whether anyone else on here has actually shot on one. I have the body & three Phenix lenses that all came as a bundle from an ex student studying an identical course I'd applied for at the time. It saw me through my two...

This photograph is beautiful.

I just wondered, has anyone else on here had much experience with this camera? Had it since about 2009 as I purchased it for my traditional photography college course after briefly shooting on a borrowed one from high school. On my first day of college our lecturers were checking which...

Even better haha. I've never had the chance to shoot in the golden hour either. I'd quite like to see what you find works for you if you try out any new techniques in Photoshop on the actual shoot.

Hahaha I'm the same, I keep any camera's I come across but there are many I've never pressed the shutter on.. I doubt they even work. Collector of pretty but broken camera's I think!

Hahaha I'm not always the best at phrasing what I'm thinking! ___ Dan, I noticed in the second link an 'about' page in which the photographer notes her equipment & the 85mm f1.2L II is in there. I've found that lens on a 5D MKII body creates a dreamy combination for portraits with smooth skin...
