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!

A Photography Type Of Day

Yep, another weekend, another couple of days to work on photography.  Today, I did digital & film.    I'm bilingual.  On the digital front I processed a commercial gig I shot this past Monday.  Check my portfolo site if you want to see what I do when not playing with film.  

Anyway, I picked up 3 processed rolls today at Roberts Camera.  A roll from my Ultronic Panoramic, Time Rangefinder (which was my Dad's camera) & my all-black Yashica MG-1.  I'll write individual blog posts on each in the coming weeks.  I also dropped off 2 rolls - one for a Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom & Ricoh FF-1s highlighted in my earlier post.

Finally, I picked up this really weird looking film camera, a Chinon Genesis at the Irvington Flea Market today.  At first I thought it was an older digital camera, but oh no its a film camera.  Seems to work OK.  Got it for a sweet $10.  

Definitely not like any other film camera I have.  Should be fun to read about it and shoot a roll through it.  However, it will have to wait it's turn...I have a long queue.

Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom & Ricoh FF-1s - What I'm Shooting

What film cameras am I shooting right now you ask?  This week and today I've been using a Canon Sure Shot 85 Zoom and a Ricoh FF-1s that I found at a local Goodwill Outlet.  Both are pocketable and fairly simple point & shoots.  I'll be doing a blog post on each soon.  Stay tuned.
