Lomography

Looking through the tests shots, editing some (yeah I know, breaking the analog rule), and an update on the cameras.

So late night I started working my way through all my camera bodies, to see which ones to start working with and which ones need to be repaired/trashed. I still have a number of bodies to test, but as you can see from the list, I have a number of ones that are in need of repair or are out right junk. Those are either going on eBay, or I will simply throw them out. I have more then enough 35mm’s to play with, so I am not going to worry about them.

Next week, on Tuesday, I have a shoot with a model, doing a basketball series with her, and I plan to shoot about half of it with film.

The list is:

Canon A2
Chinon CM-5
Chinon CM-4s

Auto Chinon Multi Coated 50mm F/1.7
SMC Pentax-M 50mm F/1.2 (Asahi Optical)

I am also missing a couple of film bodies I must have stored someplace different from the ones listed. Missing two Canon Ae-1’s, a Canon F1N (or F1?) a Nikon F3, a Nikon FG, a Yashica Minster, a Yashica Electro 35 GT, and a Pentax ME. No idea where I put these, but I know I have them, or had them, might have given one or two of them away to folks starting out shooting.

My Holga 120CFN is on it’s way, looking forward to playing with it, and to looking through the “The World through a Plastic Lens” book I am getting with it. Medium Format seems a lot like where i want to take my photography in the near future, at least my recreational photography. :)

Cheers!
