I just got this camera in a lot of used film cameras I got from a friend of mine and this camera I was stoked about. I've always wanted a Nikkormat, I think they are beautiful cameras and built like a TANK. I have always loved the design of these cameras and when my mind goes to "vintage 35mm...
I just learned about this camera a few weeks ago and I loved the history facts of this camera as it was the first SLR camera to feature light up indicators in the viewfinder, its the first camera to feature stepless shutter speed as its controlled electronically from 1968 tech!! With the copal...
I came across a new listing on eBay for this camera with the AIS 50mm f/1.8 pancake version for $40 and I just couldn't say no. The camera was untested but the photos looked good, just was dusty.
When I got it, it was in better shape that I expected. Not a mark on the camera, I don't think it...
I figured I should take care of my working film cameras instead of them sitting on my desk collection dust when I'm not using them haha.
The only other film camera that isn't pictured is my Yashica FR-II that I am currently shooting with and testing.
Hey everyone! I'm April and I'm from Texas. My dad was big on photography so I grew up with a lot of his little Kodak hawkeye and instamatic cameras. As I got older I had a few newer point and shoots as well. I always wanted something that I could do more with and my dad for as long as I can...
Hello guys,
I am new and also glad to be here.
I just got back my first roll of film ever from the lab and starting off here with a problem.
I am using a fujica stx-1 slr.
In the bottom left side of picture no.3 attached there is some kind of blurry reflection of a rug I recognize from my...
So I recently bought an old lens for quite cheap at a thrift store (the specs on the sides say "Spiratone 1:5.6 f=300mm Mirror Lens No.8300968 ø72 Minitel-S Plura-Coat"), and it appears to be built for SLR cameras rather than my Canon Rebel. I've done some research and it appears that a t-ring...
when you understand the fundamental /technical aspect of photography, composing and lighting, what else do you need to know in order to say you're an expert photographer? can anyone provide an image of such caliber and explain what make it better than another in comparison?
Hey there, I found a Minolta 7000 Maxxum that belonged to my father in the basement. I attempted to replace the 4-AAA batteries and the 1-2016 internal battery. I camera has power but the shutter does not work or move. Also, the camera does not grab the film like it is supposed to when I attempt...
Hi everyone!
I have a Canon 1000FN that has been functioning perfectly for the 6/7 years I have had it (it was a hand-me-down to begin with). A few days ago the screen that displays all the numbers and battery seemed to turn off so I bought a brand new battery as I thought that was the problem...
I just found my old Promaster 2000PK Super Manual with a Promaster Spectrum 7 lens. I haven't used it in forever, but there is still film in it. I put down the hobby of photography originally because I was too young to get everything out of it, so I told myself I would wait til I was older and...
Hey all,
I just recently found a Minolta (St si Maxxum) film camera, and shot a roll with it. All of my shots turned out black with white streaks through them. I know this could be a problem with light coming in through the camera somewhere or something with the mirror, but either way as of...
Hi guys and gals,
I wanted to ask if someone can help me find the camera that was used to take the pictures of Leia on the Beach from the Rolling Stones Magazine? I know that they got taken by Aaron Rapoport, but I don't know what camera or lens he used. The colors look amazing! And yes, I mean...
Hi, I have a few older SLRs and lenses that I would like to find a new home for. Would anyone be willing to help me establish the value of them? Please avise if this is not the right forum to ask this.
Thanks.

Unlike my other lenses, there are TWO aperture rings on this lens. Both can be adjusted seperateley. Can someone Help explains this. How can I have two different different aperture settings for the same...
Hi everyone,
I've been putting a lot of thought into buying a new camera over the past couple of months. Currently I own a Canon 60D which serves me well, but its bulkiness and weight make it a pain to bring along on trips, especially when hiking. I also have access to film SLRs that I use...
I'm a SLR user and I'm looking into CPL's and I'm wondering if there's any difference between a labeled "Digital CPL" and just a plain non labeled one?
New toy, from 1978 and in really excellent condition!!
