The temperamental auto features pointed me straight at an FM2 (which I could only afford with a fee for some moonlighting) and which I still have. You have inspired me (and JoeV, of course) to think I should run some film through it - just for old time's sake :-)Rob Bowkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065940710708289511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-56719035065264874752012-02-10T12:44:39.717-08:002012-02-10T12:44:39.717-08:00Very nice cameras, good on ya mate.

I was too for a while with a Soviet-made Zenit camera but I decided to give it to my sister who is a serious photographer. And guess what, I gave her a Voigtlander Vitomatic last Christmas!Ton S. https://www.blogger.com/profile/10691201724230891974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-35814658446834283532012-02-08T15:35:20.511-08:002012-02-08T15:35:20.511-08:00We took a Trip35 to Paris and London mid last year...We took a Trip35 to Paris and London mid last year, lovely little camera and there are some good guides around if you need to strip and clean/adjust it. It actually saved us a bit, in that the memory card in my DSLR failed at the end of our first day in Paris, taking with it all our photos from the Eiffel Tower, and the walk along the banks of the Seine to the Grand Palais....<br />Photos: http://mpd.smugmug.com/Travel/London-Paris-June-2011/Film-Olympus-Trip35/<br /><br />I've also got a nice little collection of Voigtlanders from my grandfather, haven't run film through any of them, but they're lovely cameras. They take 620 film which is just enough different from 120 to be annoying.<br />http://mpd.smugmug.com/Other/Old-CamerasMichael (MickyD)http://mpd.smugmug.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-73965317518361209852012-02-07T23:58:49.745-08:002012-02-07T23:58:49.745-08:00Thanks, Joe.

I figured I wouldn't write 'btw'.)<br />And yes, I agree, film photography and typewriters go hand-in-hand.teeritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421337385763144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-46126245635686311552012-02-07T01:05:33.441-08:002012-02-07T01:05:33.441-08:00Very good post.

All those old mechanical cameras are like typewriters; take care of them and they will outlast any new one (LCD displays are good for about 5 to 10 years of normal use, depending on the amount of sun and cold to which they are exposed)<br /><br />@ Richard,<br />Leaf makes several digital backs for medium format cameras if one can afford $25k!<br />Kodak used to make them and sold the product line.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-60813258116110738562012-02-06T19:12:31.311-08:002012-02-06T19:12:31.311-08:00That Vitomatic is a real eye-catcher!
Your post i...That Vitomatic is a real eye-catcher!<br /><br />Your post inspired me to research whether it's possible to take an old film camera and use it for digital photography. It turns out that a company called <a href="http://cultureandcommunication.org/deadmedia/index.php/Silicon_Film" rel="nofollow">Silicon Film</a> tried to develop a method to do this over a decade ago, but failed (and may even have been fraudulent). Seems to me that the concept should be revived.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373508591984404978.post-78304674939397235972012-02-06T18:58:19.418-08:002012-02-06T18:58:19.418-08:00This is a great post, and inspires me to perhaps b...This is a great post, and inspires me to perhaps blog about my own collection of film cameras, my stable of which recently has expanded to include a small assortment of point-and-shoot types. Film cameras and typecasting seems to be a natural combination. Thanks for posting.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.com
