That’s a tough one. Olympus XA2 gets most use, but every time I go back to my Voigtlander Vito B I love the experience. It would have to be the Voigtlander.

Blackpool in the rain with a Helios lens. I counted seven ankle tags in 2 hours. I do like Blackpool.

Felt a bit uninspired. So walked around here once with an old 17mm lens, then again with a Helios 55mm. It was fun.

Zeit EM & expired Kodak Gold. It’s nigh on impossible to use now due to what looks like degraded silvering on the pentaprism. A common problem apparently. Definitely qualifies for #crappycommiecameraparty

It might just be the Olympus XA2 that gets me using more film again. It’s a fun thing to use.

Taking the Helios for a walk around a run down town, it’s about to be demolished & ‘transformed’ …

I really should spend more time here. Whenever I dip my toe in it seems quite a nice place. This month I have been mostly putting old lens on a Sony a7. That’s my problem, for me the increased cost of film has killed the fun of shooting it.

I used a D80 as my daily carry until it died. It has a funky double exposure mode too. Look forward to seeing your results.

I haven’t really used film this year, but #shittycamerachallenge has started my mojo. Final choice is these 3, the 1920s Ensign box camera was a gift from that nice chap @grumpyfck.bsky.social

So I was looking forward to #folderweek , staying in the middle of nowhere. Opened the camera to find a roll of HP5+ stuck to the pressure plate. Ah well.
