Medium and Large format users fall in

Ian · 14th April 2002

It seems that those of us who are using Medium and large format gear are being forced to share space with the low rent 135 crowd

So let's see who else is out there using roll film and larger!

rueyloon · 14th April 2002

I'm a soon to be Holga Owner

can I join in ?

ckiang · 14th April 2002

Have access to a Mamiya RB67. If not for it's bulk and weight, I'd use it more.

I've used practically all the three types, small, medium, large. I've also tried industrial standard LightPhase digital technology, medium format one shot back and large format scanback. Had my hands on a 4x5 cambo field camera before, the type that focuses with no bellows or bag, that uses a groundglass for viewing. Those were in school days, now I only have my Bronica 6x7 and Nikon F4.

You forgot pinhole cameras.

Scriabinesque · 17th April 2002

Oh yes. Pinhole cameras. the possibilities are endless. Even your mouth can be used as a pinhole camera.....i don't own any pinhole camera now, sad to say.

Ian · 17th April 2002

I know there's a few missing lol, couldn't fit em in so i left out toy cameras aka holgas and pinholes etc.

I have a very old (1960s) Kodak Brownie "Vecta" box camera. It takes 127 film which is no longer available. Fixed focus, fixed aperture and shutter speed. It's all plastic, and looks quite ugly. Probably worth $10.

How about cheap 120 format cameras, anyone into seagull or lubitel?

Hello Hazardman,

The web got lotsa info on how to make pinhole boxes, but if you want some more details, do feel free to let me know...
You'll get surreal, exciting and real magical images...and check out www.pinholeday.org they are having this festive exchange pinhole photos around the world now, you could make one and exchange.

thanks

Used to have Mamiya TLR but now own a Rolleiflex TLR.

Just sold my Hasselblad kit but still have the Xpan.

Have a collection of medium (6x4.5cm, 6x6cm and 6x9cm) and large format (5x4") vintage but very useable cameras.
