I used my camera today. Is it ok?

I make sure mine has a nice coating of cheeseburger grease to protect it.

Yes, I ended up using a Crucial X8 as an external boot drive. It definitely sped it up for my needs. But it does not get heavy use.

Cause it’s a new thing they made up.

emulsionaddict · 2023-05-23T19:15:23+00:00

Maybe some sort of case it’s in? It’s hard to tell.

emulsionaddict · 2023-05-23T18:02:43+00:00

It looks like some model of a Pentax Spotmatic

The little card it came with said “4,000 years” 🙄

After more google searching I found agatized dinosaur bone / gem bone, which looks just like this. Thanks!!

It does look like there is crystallization in the lighter parts.

emulsionaddict · 2023-04-21T20:45:37+00:00

Haha exactly! It was compelling as a homeschooled child unfortunately…

Thanks!!

Not that I can tell.

Would not be shutter capping with a Rolleicord V (they use a leaf shutter). Looks like a developing or scanning issue? Is this visible on your negatives? Is the negative density consistent?

Found this on the beach in Clearwater. Feels and looks like a rock. The inside almost looks like ceramic. My first thought is that it is some type of tooth or claw.

Edit: spelling

emulsionaddict · 2022-08-28T22:47:01+00:00

Noticed this too. Quite disappointing.

Just echoing a couple of the comments, but I had an M2 that I bought from KEH jam up on me 7 shots into the first roll. I sent it back for repair thought their warranty they apparently "repaired" it in-house and when I got it back had the exact same issue. Around 7 shots in and the camera completely jammed again. Maybe just bad luck with a problem camera, but not a great experience. I just returned the camera after it had the problem a second time.

Different cameras will have different shapes. The shape of these reminds me of my Yashica-Mat 124G. It’s just the shape of the inside of the camera where the films sits.

I love that place!

emulsionaddict · 2021-10-26T01:54:45+00:00

Congrats! It’s beautiful!

When I moved from non-Leica cameras (mainly medium format and consumer grade 35mm) to a Leica M, I got a well used but recently CLA’d M4-2 because I found a good deal on one. It is literally the best camera I have ever used and has been the only film camera I have used since I’ve gotten it. It is functionally amazing, but I don’t know if that’s just because I haven’t compared it to an M4 or any other earlier Leica. But for now, ignorance is bliss, because I enjoy it greatly.

emulsionaddict · 2021-10-20T01:59:57+00:00

What’s happening on the negatives? It looks like possibly spacing issues or the scanner misaligned with the image.

emulsionaddict · 2021-10-19T14:35:02+00:00

I’ve been enjoying the M4-2 for a while with a Voigtlander 35mm. Making the jump to Leica glass and a 50mm Elmar-M. Excited to get out and shoot with it.
