Decisions, Decisions, Which One Next

Normally I carry around a film camera in my briefcase or my car.  It's used for casual snapshots and street photography.  Next man up....which one to pick next?  Last night I opened a few of the boxes I store in my home office (I have a few more up on shelves), and made my decision.

The winner, a Ricoh FF-1s.  I'll load a roll of FujiFilm Fujicolor 100 that expired in 2010.  Not sure if it was cold stored, but I'm guessing it's still good.  It's part of a lot I purchased on eBay.

I've shot the Ricoh before.  It's a fun little rangefinder point & shoot. It is short & stout with a surprisingly nice f/2.8 35mm lens.  Here we go!

What I'm Shooting - Nikon, Bell+Howell & Pentax

This weekend while out running chores I took a few cameras.   This weekend I brought a Nikon Fun-Touch 6, a Pentax IQZoom 130m & a Bell+Howell.  All are simple point & shoots.  Easy to load & simple to use.  I ran both Fujicolor 200 & Kodak BW400CN film through them.  

A blog post on each camera to follow

Polaroid & FujiFilm Instant Fun-ness

As you might tell from this photo not only do I have fun shooting film cameras I also enjoy shooting instant film.  I have a range of Polaroid & Fuji instant cameras.  If it weren't for the fact that the film was so expensive I'd shoot it all the time.  I did however pick up this sweet camera the other day on Amazon.  The FujiFilm Instax 210.  

I tried it out the other day during an model agency test shoot in my studio.  I bought it because the film is 2 x's the size of the Instax Mini business card size and the camera offers a bit more control.  I'll write a more detailed blog post on the Instax 210 ASAP.  In the meantime here are a few scanned photos from Sunday's shoot (sorry for the low quality, the scanning wasn't the best).  Initial feedback on the Instax 210, I LIKE IT.
