Hi all,

As we have a few camera fans here... I really like [j0hnbarker]'s timed photos, and of course [mr anders son]'s art photos...

I thought I'd share this with you. Perhaps you have some that you would like to post?

The other day I was firing off a few shots to kill a film roll. When I had them developed, out came the following (accident) photo... 

Nikon F90x / 35-70AF / Kodak BW400CN

Very nice Jaff!

 

You really captured the BL4000 wonderfully here... Nice indeed!

Nice one Jeff :)

Bl4000 looks great there - really reminiscent of my Pentas in the twilight with the same colour alu and cloth trim. Great shot.

Would like to get into film photography as currently using a Nikon D60. I've thought about getting an older Leica R series SLR, but not yet got around to trying one out before committing to a purchase as they seem to hold their value really well...

Nice pic Jaff, 

the sun can do magic to pictures.

Mine is just a standard digitalcam, but I like it.

Anyone else have a pic to post.....

That's beautiful! I love the BS9000, it's just one of those things, and i still think the BS9000 is the most expensive looking B&O

That's beautiful Jaff.  Every now and then you see a film picture that reminds of you what the nuances of film were capable of.  Look at those milky shadows.  Was it older out of date film by any chance?

John, you might want to consider one of the great M mechanical cameras to start off with.  The lenses are the best, readily available and easily used on the newer digital M8, M9 if you want to continue using the system.  I wouldn't presume to know your lifestyle but my friends who are doctors like the Ms because they are classy, portable and have a sort of "Gentleman Artist" aspect about them.  They are also of course about as close to perfection, optically and mechanically, as you can get and certainly as good as the R glass.
      I do have to admit that I have a hankering for one of the very cool late model R cameras too.  I just hate that all those great R lenses are so useless for anything outside the world of 35mm film and transparencies.
For those that don't know, John is referring to the (almost B&O like elegance) revered Leica R camera.

Thanks Michael

I had the chance to handle a used R8 in my local camera shop whilst we were shopping for a new lens for the D60, and I was really taken with the looks, general feel and build quality. They only had the camera body so I couldn't have much of a play with one, but I'd really like to get my hands on the R series over one of the M cameras initially as I just think they are so well constructed and look so good :) Am I right in thinking that for the purist the R series is preferable as the M series have some Minolta element to them (not unlike some of the B&O themes we've discussed here lately!)?
