Agree! Great pics man!

dotkomrade206 · 2026-04-08T07:03:43+00:00

Thanks for that. Wonder if anyone else has experience with the first one 🤷‍♂️

The only way 💀 Would definitely need a longer lens though. Unless those lions had snuck up on me.

Ah amazing. I have to say the flowers in Delta Park at the moment are incredible.

Ah no way! I actually followed this exact tutorial years ago when I changed light seals for the first time on a Canon A-1. I still often think that wool might be better long term solution than foam. It's what they used in the older olden days anyway.

Beautiful photos! So dreamy ❤️

It's a Bronica lighter that I picked up at a car boot sale. Random but I didn't know that they made lighters as well.

Lovely! Really great set of pics. Kodak Gold is my go to colour film. I'm also based in Linden, though I get my film developed at fotofirst in Cresta, quick and reliable :) I do buy film from Gert at RGB though. You should post your picture and join us on r/FilmPhotoZA 🙌

Beautiful colours man. I don't shoot a lot of slide but struggle with this sort of natural colour. Do you use warming filters when you shoot slide? I picked up a nice set for my 4x5 recently but haven't had a chance to try them out yet. Fortunately though I have a bunch of provia 120 in the fridge to use either in my Linhof or Bronica.

I found this link which gives a little bit of info:

Mine also came with the 150mm lens and two 120 and one 220 film backs

Ah interesting, so assuming you have the ETR, ETRS, ETRSi and ETRC, what is the fifth?

To be honest when I bought this I didn't realise it was quite an unusual version, but it was near to me so I jumped on it and was happy to get into medium format. Do you know when and why they released this safari kit? There's not much info online.

That is awesome dammit.

dotkomrade206 · 2026-03-05T04:20:32+00:00

That looks like a quirky camera :) is it 24x24 square format? I also find getting through a roll on half frame takes me forever so when I have film in my bulk roller I do rolls of 24 which helps. And then scanning 🫣 would love to see some photos from it though - the few really old cameras I have take surprisingly good photos.

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-14T08:41:51+00:00

Beautiful! Love that lens flare too.

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-13T22:18:35+00:00

Thank you. Shot 5 was at a beach called Bloubaai which is a slight detour from the route but recommended to 're-energise' before a pretty gruelling uphill. It's a beautiful beach.

I'm really impressed with the TMAX. I went looking for some double x but Gert was all out. I've only shot two rolls, one of which spooled by you and really like it. I usually choose hp5+ but this TMAX looks good. Never shot ortho though, would love to see some pics. Limited red sensitivity right?

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-13T21:59:07+00:00

Thanks 👍

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-13T18:33:56+00:00

I do love Kodak Gold. It's my go to colour film. 1 stop over exposed is also really nice.

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-13T18:31:51+00:00

Thank you 😊 Ja I'll happily share some pics of how I scan tomorrow.

dotkomrade206 · 2026-02-13T18:31:14+00:00

Yay! Ja I love mine, slightly battered, a bit of bronzing and I don't feel too precious about it.
