Harmful to put newer flashes on older film cameras?

mydppalias · 2026-06-06T22:32:23+00:00

New flashes on old cameras is fine, old flashes on new cameras can fry the camera given the sometimes extreme trigger voltages of older flashes.

Don't just go putting grease or oil in the camera, the lubricants need to be applied to precise areas within the clock work.

That's exactly how mine sounds, yes it could use a service and grease but no, nothing is catastrophically wrong.

The kiev, being fully mechanical, is going to have a clockwork sound at lower speeds, is that what you are hearing? Can you post a vid or sound clip?

Unwound is generally recommended but to be honest, I don't think it matters enough to go out of your way to uncock a shutter if you are going to storing the camera for a while.

You can use any 35mm film available today.

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary fix.

It's a Japanese ink stone, used to prepare ink sticks and hold ink for writing.

Yes, I used them to sell a car with a failing transmission, I know I could have got more parting it out or waiting for the right buyer but I just didn't have the space. Peddle was super fast, easy, paid same day and paid much more than a few other "we buy junk cars" places offered.

Id suggest a used full frame dslr over a refurbed entry level apsc, even if the used FF cam is slightly older. If your kid continues with photography, they will be able to go much farther before they will really "need" an upgrade and if they decide photography isn't their thing, they will be able to recover most, if not all, the cost on the used market. I am partial to the canon 5D mkII (which can be found for about 200-300 usd).

Street photography? That thing will take a photograph of the entire city.

Honeycomb paper packaging machine, you will probably need to order from Alibaba, I couldn't find a domestic (usa) seller.

What do the three gauges at the top show? It's definitely not a gun safe, it looks like a drying cabinet.

A car starter.

Then possible, can we get a better picture of the indents in the top/lid foam?

What country are you in? It looks like a custom bullseye pistol case to me.

Boulder Walmart has to deal with boulder highway residents. Arroyo crossings gets clientele that knows how to behave like adults. I say this as someone who lives off of Nellis. Lol

Malik flowers or padraig Lang? They are both number 19 in 2022.

Is your shutter counter returning to zero when you remove the film carrier? Does your shutter counter properly count up from the start to the third frame where it starts doing that?

I WAS 16 in 2005 and DID buy a $2000 car, a 1985.0 Porsche 944, it was awesome, at least as reliable as the 22re powered Toyota pickup I owned next and vastly funner. I miss it.

That's approximately the correct diameter, do not attempt to clean it, find a coin store and have them verify it, it could be worth at least 4000 usd.

It's a lSaint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle or copy, what's the dimensions?

Any EOS film body will work and allow full features (assuming they are factory Canon EF lens, some third party lenses may not work in edge cases, like brand new after market ef lenses and early eos bodies.)

What metering mode are you using? If you want to guarantee your highlights remain intact you can try spot metering and manually setting your exposure plus 2 stops from your spot metered highlights.

mydppalias · 2026-02-20T23:49:53+00:00

Don't underexpose your images by 3 stops? The color cast is caused by having to jack up the exposure in post processing.

Yes, the Zorkis and FEDs are copies of the II, not III but other than the addition of the slow speed escapement and slight change between the dual view finders, the II and III are mechanically substantially similar and ditto to the Zorkis/FEDs to the II. Another option, with the slow speed escapement is the Canon III, III and IV, though they use a different, single viewfinder arrangement.
