Was just looking at some ham pix I took with a Rollie many moons ago. Ah, the sweet look of 2 1/4 film!
Enjoy!

If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.
Yeah, even deep into the digital age there's still something to be said for film.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Very nice. Do you still have these pieces?Originally Posted by W1GUH
No, unfortunately. That was back when I lived out in the wilds of NJ and had the room. Lots and lots of fun! Obviously I never got around to setting the shots up properly...but the "in situ" isn't bad...I guess.
They all found a good home, tho', and live on to this day.
The Rollie came from a hamfest.

It's still a pain in the ass? ;)
These days yeah. Unless you set up with your own darkroom and really get into it. I must admit there was something fascinating about developing a roll of film and ,making a set of prints. Now the "darkroom" lies within a chip inside the camera. I am puzzled though. Where do they get people small enough to fit inside the chip to do the developing ?
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Used to love spending hours in the darkroom smelling hypo. B&W only...never got into color. What's great about these days is I can shoot color film, negative or slide, get it developed, and scan 'em into the computer and go crazy with PS.
What's a PITA about MF is pretty much the setup of the shot. Tripod...spotmeter...fussing to get everything right...depth of field or hyperfocal? And on and on and on.
With a digital camera, it's pretty much compose and click.

Meh... I've spent a lot of time with a Pentax 645 MF film camera. Works just like a modern 35mm SLR, only bigger and heavier. Built-in meter, autowinder, easy to hand hold, etc.
Oh, yea....hand-held, even with a TLR is do-able, especially with a pistol-grip. Looks sexy, too. Using that camera sometimes makes me feel like a Paparazzi from La Dolce Vita!
But for max control of everything (I can be downright extra-anal when doing this) it's the "art shot" technique that'll do it for ya.
OTOH, it is very true that some of my shots from a digital point-and-shoot have approached that technical excellence. Take a lot of motivation out of shlepping that heavy bag.
BTW...always wanted a MF SLR. But since digital --
Major wood there...

Nice camera. We have MF Yashica here somewhere. I should break that out and see what it can do.Oh, yea....hand-held, even with a TLR is do-able, especially with a pistol-grip. Looks sexy, too. Using that camera sometimes makes me feel like a Paparazzi from La Dolce Vita!
