Film: 35mm Ilford 100 Delta Professional Black & White Expired: Aug 1998 Camera: 1933 616 Kodak Jiffy folding camera After falling in love with the Ilford Jiffy combo, I had to go again. This time I took it with me on a business drive to Tennessee from Phoenix. It didn’t let me down…
It’s always worth a shot. I decided to try out another roll from a garage sale grab-bag. Most internet searches I came up for old Fujichrome Provia 1600 was not to even bother. However, there are also some interesting results if you poke around Flickr long enough, and that’s really what I’m going for with…
Film: EasyClix 800 pulled from disposable camera Expired: 2014 Camera: 1953 620 Kodak Brownie Model D I really should limit my poking around on Ebay. In my quest for cheap old film I came across a set of expired disposable cameras for cheaper than the film would cost. I figured it was possible to re-roll…
This was another film I was unsure of results with. The E6 film roll expired in 2004. It was another garage sale grab-bag find. I tossed it in my trusty Kodak Brownie Model D. I love the way a 35mm roll just snugs up into a 620 slot without modification. Crossprocessing is the way to…
Film: Polaroid High Definition Plus 400 (Agfa) Expired: Aug 1998 Camera: 1933 616 Kodak Jiffy folding camera This film wasn’t too impressive as far as lomography goes. It was pretty true to color, but slightly muted because of age. Clarity if well lit and close. Classic Agfa triangles. Pretty true to scene. Colors…
Film: 35mm Ilford 100 Delta Professional Black & White Expired: Aug 1998 Camera: 1933 616 Kodak Jiffy folding camera Believe or not this was my first black and white film experience. I figured it should be paired with the best looking old camera I have, the ’33 art deco faced Kodak folder.…
This was one of my first experiments with “crazy” film. I saw a pack of 4 come up on Ebay with relatively cheap shipping from Turkey and figured why not. My Turkish friend was very transparent about the 1999 expiration date but I figured the film had some extra iso to burn. Back then I…
It may not look like much but this workhorse is solid. Forget about light leaks from bellows pinholes or adjusting the lense; box cameras are built to be simple and to last. This 1953 Brownie Model D was found in a falling-in abandoned house. The camera was most likely purchased in England during the house…
This was the first of my Polaroid instant 35mm trials. Polagraph was made for making black and white slides of high contrast graphs for presentations. Film: 35mm Polaroid Polagraph 400 instant film. Expired: Aug 1990 Hand developed in a Polaroid Auto Processor (3min) Camera: 1953 620 Kodak Brownie Model C (with 2″ long mask)
This was my second Pola-experiment. The first roll (Polagraph) was so much fun to autoprocess and see the results. Film: 35mm Polaroid Polapan 125 black and white instant film for transparencies. Expired 1985 Hand developed in a Polaroid Auto Processor (~2min) Camera: 1953 620 Kodak Brownie Model D (with 2″ long mask) Given that the…
Along with cars, there was a time of prettiness for cameras. Today the majority of cameras are black and only the logo neckstrap would help you even tell the brands apart. Cameras’ Art Deco phase was fleeting, lasting only between 1928-1937, but Eastman Kodak put out some beauties during that time. The Vanity Line of Vest Pocket cameras…
“Wait, Scotch made film?” I’ve heard it a few times now after posting my results to Flickr. If I knew it was so rare, I would have taken a few photos of the cannister. It didn’t look like much. Here’s a photo I stole of the internet for comparison. I was just happy to get…
Falcon Automatic Model 2 1939 Film: 120 Shutter speed: ? Aperture: probably f/8, f/11, f/16 Lens: fixed Sprockets: 18 There is something about an old camera that shouts display me and the art-deco faced camera era of 1928-1937 left behind some glass shelvable beauts. On one of my obsessive ebay seekouts, I stumbled across Utility…
This film popped up in my deep Ebay searchings and it took a little research to figure out what it actually was. I got so far caught up into its original uses and how the neat hand crank “instant” developer worked, that by the time I read up on how many other people’s attempts with…
