Fujica MA-1 Plastic camera

[hamustar]

A present my dad gave me when i was 6 yrs old....err...some time ago

Fujica MA-1
The clip for the film back broke so replaced with 3M velcro coz it has sentimental value.


Some of the photos i took with it recently.

The resultant photos seem to have a nice glow and colour to it. Think the slight vignetting has a part to do with it. Am pleasantly happy with the output.

hey Hamustar, the images look great. where did you get it scanned?

i glued an old filter ring on the lens. this allows me to attach filters as well as wide angle attachments for different results.

simple and fun to use.

Got it scanned at Colour Lab @ Adelphi ground floor. damage is $10.90 (4base - 1800by 1100 ) for scan alone coz i developed it elsewhere.
If did develop + scan i think could be cheaper.

Ahh that is a good idea, i'll try to source for one... My wife wonders why i bother with this toy cam. Haha...somehow it feels good using it and i perceive myself to compose better than using a dSLR!
it's also fast to shoot, really a Point and shoot.

Hi Hamustar

I think you got overcharged man, but ok la, for orchard area, the prices are like that. Anyhows you can get a 4 base scan done for 5 bucks at TripleD at burlington square.

Not only that, at Grace digital labs, you can develop + 16 base scan at 8 bucks, which is way cheaper than some labs that do 4 base scanning at 8 bucks with processing. lol. Just an observation.

Hi 0200903C,

NOW you tell me!

Hahha..thanks for the lobang, will try TripleD next round. Coz i work in Tg Pagar, not many places easily accessible during lunchtime.
Grace's prices are quite competitive , but too bad its so far away at clementi for me.

[0200903C]

Hehe, i didnt know you were going there what. hmm but some observation was that the labs around orchard charge way too much, but quality whether consistent anot, depends.

Since you work in tanjong pagar area, another good place to develop and scan is KT Imaging which should be quite near ure area. But im not sure abt the prices, then again, should be reasonable as well.

[thinkhardhard]

ya, i recommend KT also. i actually prefer KT's scanning to triple D, quality more consistent. but triple D may be faster (edit to add - faster in terms of process/scan time required), it depends. processing + scan cost $7.20 for lomotion member, same price as triple D (i think mention CS, they give discount as well).

[orangmuda]
