    Film Vivitar Series 1 Zoom with Tmax 400

    Agfachrome was good film, but not at the level of Kodachrome. Early Agfachrome could only be developed by Agfa, and was sold with processing included. When you bought a box of 5 rolls, they came with 5 little cloth bags with a label attached. It was handy when you were on a long trip, you put...

    Film Vivitar Series 1 Zoom with Tmax 400

    This is a lens which I haven't used in many years. In the past I used it almost exclusively with Kodachrome and Agfachrome, both in ASA 64, both sadly long gone. I got an urge to get it out and try it with some fast film, and chose Tmax 400. The faster film makes it a lot easier! this lens...

    Film What FILM (!) photography related item did you buy this week?

    I backed their Kickstarter from the beginning, but it has taken much longer than they anticipated. I'm mainly interested in it as it will be able to do both 35mm and 120, and I find 120 really hard to load onto the developer reel. An available alternative is the Rondinax. It's been around since...

    Film What camera and film combination are you using today?

    Loading the OM-1 with Tmax 400. This will be new for me, as I've always used TriX when I wanted a fast film. I'm going to try it with my old Vivitar Series 1 70-210 Zoom, which I haul out every now and then, and then realize I can't hold it still enough. I'm hoping the faster film will help. I...

    Film Video: Kodak 3200 vs Ilford 3200

    I've never used a film faster than ASA 400, but if I had to choose between these two, I'd take the Tmax. The Ilford just looks a little bland to me.

    Film What FILM (!) photography related item did you buy this week?

    I picked up this nifty little rangefinder. Should be a help with my Olympus Six folder. it looks like new, but must be from the early 60s at the latest, since the company address doesn't have a ZIP code. I checked it against a tape measure, and it's right on out to 30 feet, then starts to get a...

    Film What FILM (!) photography related item did you buy this week?

    More like 2 weeks ago, but I got the Canon Sure Shot 70; possible replacement for the Olympus Stylus Epic. I didn't realize that it would be DX only (so is the stylus, and somehow I missed that too). Anyway, supposedly if there is no DX marking the camera will set itself to ISO 100, so, I...

    Greeting Camerads!

    I was originally a member of Mu-43, but I don't think I posted there more than once. I joined Forever Film as soon as I heard about it, and while I haven't been real active lately, I always enjoyed visiting. MoonMind put it very well when he described it as a niche for experiments and...

    Film Olympus Stylus Epic

    My XA2 bit the dust, but I kind of enjoyed the point and shoot experience, and I remembered my old Stylus Epic Zoom 80. I know this went under other names in other parts of the world, mostly starting with Mju. I was given this camera many years ago, but never really bonded with it, but it was...

    Film Best Olympus XA?

    I really liked my XA2, but the meter died. I would buy another in a heartbeat, except the prices have gotten a little silly. BV
