Haven't gone out to shoot film in like over a month, felt good to get out and finally finish some rolls

Shot in my contaflex ii on pro image 100 @ box, damn this stuff is cozy. Warmer than gold lmao, whole roll turned out great

35mm Cameras
Six 35mm film cameras, every one mechanically operated with no electronics anywhere in the sound: a Nikon F2, a Nikon F, a Leica M3, a Zeiss Contaflex IV, an Exakta VX and a Rollei 35S. Mid-century bodies, German and Japanese manufacture, 1951 to 1980. Each was recorded across eight to fourteen mechanical actions, six to eight takes each: wind-and-release cycles with the back open and closed, self-timer wind-and-run sequences, shutter speed dials, f-stop rings and click dials, focus rings, lens caps on and off, lens and filter mounts, back covers, backplates and bottom plates, film wind levers, film spindles, pressure plates, rewind and frame-selector levers, a light meter cover, and shutter releases. 65 distinct actions across the six bodies. Every take was captured on three microphones at once, through a Sound Devices MixPre-10 at 192 kHz / 32-bit float. A Sennheiser MKH 416 holds the production-sound centre. An Oktava MK-012 adds musical body and weight against brighter microphones. A Sanken CO-100K, omnidirectional with response to 100 kHz, captures the mechanism far above human hearing, and that is the layer that survives hard pitch-shifting and time-stretching. 260 master WAVs: 65 mixed three-microphone blends ready for the timeline, and 195 per-microphone stems, one per microphone per action, for resynthesis and layering. Mono, 192 kHz / 24-bit PCM. Total runtime 2 hours 33 minutes. Every file carries UCS v8.2 filenames and embedded BWF and iXML metadata with a per-file TraceID. Descriptions, categories and keywords arrive intact in any UCS-aware library manager.

a trip to the seaside with my spouse captured on 35mm.

shot on my Zeiss Ikon Contaflex Super BC from the 60s, with a 50mm lens using Harman Phoenix 2 film. so thrilled with how they turned out, the hue of the film is so interesting and lovely.

holy shit the zeiss contaflex 126 lenses cover full frame (or the 135/4 does at least)

大阪の中古カメラ店を5店舗くらい巡りましたが、目的のものはなし……
ひとまずM39の変換パーツを入手し、うちのContaflexアダプターについてるM42のパーツと入れ換えることでM42の部品を捻出することにします

I'll need to develop my own films for the Contaflex and the K16, need to make a spool for my tank for the K16's film too.

Some project cameras coming, hopefully. Pentax Auto 110, cheap, we'll see; a Zeiss Ikon Contaflex 126, bit of a project. Another long term project, A Pentacon K16. I need to figure out how I'm going to cut and perforate film and make/back-engineer a refillable cassette for it 🙂

Can’t stop now, you’re in too deep 😉, I had this with a zeiss Contaflex, after researching found nobody wanted to work on them.
Sending positive energy 🤙😂

My last summer in Boston, 2000, they had an exceptional Tall Ships parade. In the end I decided not to take pictures because sometimes it distracts me from seeing clearly. That would have been my Zeiss Contaflex because digital cameras were new & grainy. I still sort of regret it.

The Minolta Rapid 24 has been what's on my mind lately (well, and long ago the Contaflex...ehehehe), but that's definitely good to know!

It'd be a bit odd to swap back to an AF SLR, but I'm definitely open to things. Just going to have to weigh options.

An example of what you could be missing not scanning your own film...
