Ich bin neu hier und bewundere eure schönen Uhren. Heute fiel mein Blick auf diese Uhr, die mir meine Frau zum Hochzeitstag geschenkt hat. Vielleicht für viele hier nichts besonderes, aber ich finde sie super schön und zwar nicht nur wegen des sentimentalen Werts ✌🏼
I work in a school and the other day I found cameras in an old cabinet. I knew, that nobody was using them, because the film that was laying there has expired in 1995 and 2000. The gear probably belonged to some kind of photography class.
Today I sat down with the headmaster and asked him, if I could have the cameras and he agreed. He said, that they didn’t have any value for the school, so he offered them to me for 50€. I immediately told him, I would give him double, because I felt guilty.
I didn’t test any cameras with film yet, but I did test all the Canon-lenses and they seem to work fine.
Didn’t really use ND-Filters or yellow filters before. Anything I should know?
The Canon Ftb QL seems to work fine as well mechanically. I have to still try it with a battery though.
With the Canon AL-1 qF there are problems, because the batteries leaked. I have to try to fix that.
The mechanics with the Mamiya M645J seems to work fine as well. I testet it with a battery and it worked. The viewfinder looks good to me, although I don’t have any experience with medium format cameras other than the Diana F+.
I don’t expect much from the expired with, since it wasn’t stored cold. But I am so excited to try out the Mamiya.
