How many film camera's do you own

My collection seems to have expanded rapidly in the last week. Anyway, it currently stands at:

Agfa Clack
Praktica BX20
Holga 120N
Canon EOS 100 (failing shutter)
Canon EOS 300
Canon EOS 1N HS
Zenit E
Nikon F401
Nikon F90x (x2)

Nowhere near 67, or heaven forbid, 150!:cuckoo::lol:

I have a shutter problem on my EOS 100 in that it sticks about every 20 shots or so and then clears itself,is that the same with yours and is it a known EOS100 problem

SO which one don't you use and why?

I don't use the camera I didn't list. It's a Praktica MTL3 which doesn't work. I would like to fix it as it was my Dad's but I haven't gotten round to it yet. The rest all get used fairly regularly

Yep, I'm afraid so. There's some form of rubber stopper to damp some vibrations in the shutter and over the years it degrades, becoming sticky. This gummy residue then gets on the shutter blades. You can carefully and gently remove it from the film side of the blades with some isopropyl alcohol, but since the 100 doesn't have mirror lockup you can't do the lens side.

I've cleaned them a couple of times, but now one of the shutter blades has caught one too many times and is beginning to break. Looks like it's "curtains" for that shutter :lol:
 
lubitel
Kodak Brownie 127
Ricoh XRX
Practica MTL3
dont use any of them:shake:
 
3 ATM.

Nikon N90s (F90x for those outside the USA)
1932 Voigtlander Brilliant
Kodak Duaflex II
 
None any more. It got me thinking what film cameras I've owned and excluding a few 110 and instant cameras that I can't remember the models the list is:

Canon AE-1 x4
Canon T-90 x2
Canon New F-1 x5
Canon EOS-3
Canon EOS-1000
Voigtlander Bessa R
Bronica ETRSi
Mamiya C330f
Mamiya 645 ProTL
Mamiya 645E
Mamiya RB67 ProSD x2
Mamiya 7II x2
Art Panorama 617

I still have my Dad's Agfa Isolette and a 1930s Voigtlander Bessa.
 
Two. My F2 and FM from the film days. I tossed several 35mm compacts when I was packing up to leave SA last year, which was probably a bit silly. Doesn't really matter, I doubt if I would ever have used them again, and I stopped worrying about things I should, or should not, have done long ago.
 
I've returned to film in recent months and have been acquiring all the cameras I wanted in the eighties, but couldn't actually afford - so far:

Olympus OM10
Olympus OM30
Olympus OM2n
Olympus Trip
Zenit TTL
Canon EOS 500

Similar here, but I was into medium format for about 25 years and not interested in 35mm, but acted like a newbie know all at first (when returning to 35mm) in not checking the cameras out first on forums, so my thinking at first was for example:- OM10 erm made by Olympus so it must be good :lol:
 
4 x Pentax MX
2 x Pentax ME Super
Pentax Super A
Pentax K1000
Bronica ETRS
Hasselblad Xpan
Nikon 28Ti
2 x Yashica Electro 35
Yashica Minister
Minolta Hi-Matic F
 
Now thinning out...





Yet again :D
 
i have 4

Canon AE-1 - which is a joy to use
Olympus OM10
Canon 500n
Fujicon something or another that I bought recently
 
Just one Zenit. Shot one roll on it and developed it last May or so. Pictures actually came out quite good
 
Just 1...

Canon EOS 300. Haven't used in couple of years or may be more more :thinking:
 
~8, none of which have been used recently (to my shame!). I was originally keeping the Nikon AF SLRs as a much cheaper alternative to a FF DSLR but then bought a D700 which has rendered them all but redundant.

Unfortunately, a recent upgrade to my desktop computer has left my scanners non working (can't find Win 7 64 bit drivers for them) so until I find a way of using them, I probably won't be using film again. (The files from D&P labs are generally too small for decent sized prints [A4 or larger])

If anyone knows of suitable drivers for a Canoscan 8000F and a Konica Minolta ScanDual IV, please let me know. I've installed VueScan but it doesn't want to play.
 
Hmm - I have an 8400F and no probs with 7 Ultimate 64... just dropped in the original disk and left it to it?
 
Probably about 3, an ancient Kodak Box Brownie, an old Voightlander twin lens reflex, Olympus Trip and probably a few others burried in my loft along with all my darkroom kit from about 20 years ago !

You do realise owning darkroom gear that isn't used is illegal?

Like Ambermile, I'm saying nowt as well - in case the wife gets on here and finds out how many I've got. Mind like Ambermile I have some Minoltas, and ...., and ...., and ...., BUT having them, I do use them all. They do not sit gathering dust. Just getting into medium format. Two sets of slides came back this morning, and 50% of them were underexposed badly, due to a damned faulty light meter. I should have relied on the sunny 16 rule. Got to know that perfectly, and adjust accordingly - through having a Zenit E, which I still have,and I bet you are all jealous.

I'd sooner have a case of Mumps :lol:

MTL3 left me scarred for life, with an aversion to that kind of kit, I'm afraid :thumbsdown:
 
Has anyone got a MF camera who can send me a single neg so I can play with my new enlarger :) Something correctly exposed with a good range of shades but something that maybe was completely wrong and you don't mind losing it.

Please...

Aww, I love my MTL5B... How could anybody dislike mirror slap so potent it makes you almost drop the camera??

Anyway, my camera list is:
Yashica Mat 124G
Bronica ETRS
Olympus OM-2n
Pentax Spotmatic SP500
Praktica MTL5B
Olympus XA3
Olympus Mju III 80
Olympus Trip 100
Holga CFN
Actionsampler
Halina 35X (needs realigning and aperture blades loosening up, saving for a rainy weekend)
2x Nikon L35AF (both broken--first without a single roll through it, second after 3 rolls :( )
 
Sold my last ~12 months ago, but just bought a Rollie 35LED as it was cheap. Mainly though as I have a couple of now outdated rolls of film still to use. Not really sure why I did it now :cuckoo: Hey ho, they cant touch you for it!
 
Currently, 13 or 14 but only 4 or 5 of those actually get used...

Slide, B/W or both ?
 
Joxby, seeing as you live in the rhubarb triangle, do you develop your films in the dark rhubarb sheds,by infrared candle light ?
And just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons - it is not how many cameras you own, the more important question is : HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHY SITES AND FORUMS ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ?
 
The rhubarb triangle is in Yorkshire, situated just outside Wakefield, around Drighlington and Morley. When I first came to Yorkshire about 40 yrs ago, I was on the bus into Leeds and saw a huge amount of low sheds in that area. When I got back to my digs I asked what they were, and was told they were rhubarb sheds. I thought they were taking the p*** out of a simple Geordie. After all we grew it up home, in the garden /allotments with horse muck. The Tykes had to go one better. They are still there today. I suppose if you look on the net you will find something about them.
 
Ujjwal - I Live between the Rhubarb Triangle and The Liquorice Fields - strange really, when surrounded by so much purgative, that the people in this village are so full of......

Eeeby gum, Here I am surrounded by Tykes. Hope there's no trouble at t'mill.
 
The Lentil Belt is to the west of the liquorice fields and the rhubarb triangle. I first heard the expression last year to describe the broken line of valleys running from (roughly) Hebden Bridge in the north to Holmfirth in the south. So named because of the number of artisans, hippies, gays, writers and alternative lifestylers who have retreated there in recent decades. Think Ted Hughes country to Simon Armitage land, via the Joanne Harris chain.
