Also whilst Ive got your attention (Or not seemingly :lol:)

What/where do I get the film for the Brownie HawkEye, KodakEK160-EF and possible Brownie folding frame?

Bry
 
I can't bring myself to count mine up. I've had my Nikon F801 since the 80's but then I bought a DSLR 3 years ago and my Dad gave me his Nikkormat and I haven't stopped since. I might have a little count up later :D

I think the brownie hawkeye used 620 roll film, which can be obtained respooled from 120 film here.

Think you may be out of luck with the Kodak EK160-EF though - they stopped making it in 1981, and afaik nobody has made "pattern" versions.
 
Pictures up in the next couple of days :) With the brownies, is there not a "Off the shelf" solution? I don't mind doing it If i have to but its easier obviously if I can buy it ;)

Bry
 
They guy I linked to actually does the respooling I think - albeit at something like double the cost of buying 120. If you were processing your own, i suppose you could buy a couple of rolls, then re-use the spools and backing paper from the bought-in ones for later attempts.

Just seen the second link I can buy the 620 stuff cheers TBY :) Where on earth does stuff like that get processed now days?

Bry
 
erm I must be getting very fussy in my old age as there is not one camera in your collection that I would like to use or own ;)
 
Lol Brian, as I say it definitely isn't a list for those with fussy lifestyles but the very nature of them being simple basic machines means to me they have "Character" instead. Each one produces such different images its amazing :)

Bry
 
I really like the look of that second one lol :lol:

I'd think most people shooting on 620 would be processing their own to be honest Bry. That way they'll be able to re-cycle the paper backing and the spools.
 
Ahh ok - So its definitely time to persuade the missus I NEED a darkroom ;) :lol:

Was going to convert under the stairs but damn its small in there lol

Bry
 
you don't need a darkroom to develop film (either B&W or Colour!), you only need a changing bag and a patterson (or similar) daylight tank. You load the film into the spiral in the bag, put it in the tank, close the top, and everything else is done in daylight, in the utility room sink in my case :shrug:
 
Not as much fun as a dark room though ;) :lol:

So taking the film into say prints - I presume I need a dark room than or similar to utilise an enlarger(?) - Aaah Ive been out of this for to long :lol:

Yep - thats where the darkened room, enlarger, and lots of trays of "interesting" smelling liquids comes in. Or you can do as a lot of us do - scan the negatives and do the printing side as a "hybrid process" - at least for the bulk of stuff - then occasionally if you get a particularly good neg, find a darkroom for hire and get a wet print done.
