post info re film cameras you have/had

i have a very old USSR film monster weighing in at about 2kg with some huge lenses which i picked up for $30 at swap meet and just scored a super 8 video camera with projector in working order thru inheritance.

im a big fan of grainy/raw images and video.

Nikon FG. used it for 20 years till it finally gave up the ghost and I switched to digital

got a Pentax spotmatic F with zoom, telephoto and wide angle lenses with about 20 filters.
got it for my 18th bday after using pentax k1000 in high school. Havent used it for a while tho.
And now i have my DSLR so away it goes til i get the urge again.

bought a late 60's Zenit E a while back. came with 4 lenses and some accessories for like 80bux. great fun to use, learnt so much more about photography using this having started out on digital

Got a Ricoh KR-5 im using that my dad had from awhile back, love using it more then my D90

anyone reccomend a film printer? have been to a few places already, they only print from digital card etc.

i think the grainy/raw style of photography is getting pretty rare these days too

You'll need to head out to a proper Photo Lab. There's one in Leederville. Can't remember the name sorry

Fitzgerald Photo Imaging in North Perth did a great job on some stuff I had done.

If I shot film id get my own film scanner then you can work the files yourself in photoshop to correct colours etc then it would be easier to get them printed too.

I've got an almost complete Zenit Photosniper kit (cant remember what year i,ll check when i get home), and also a 88 zenit 12xp

the 12xp is an awesome camers to use, ive never actually used the photosniper as it needs a bit of a tidy up/restoration

photosniper is similar to this http://www.commiecameras.com/sov/35mmsinglelensreflexcameras/cameras/photosniper/images/fsgrayr.jpg

Have heard good things about Fitzgerald's. Did the owners ever have anything to do Zimmermans that used to operate on Beaufort street.
