Re: Tripods
Personally I only ever buy used tripods because they get such a hammering that I don't want to spend much money on them. The Manfrotto 055 series tripods have been the best ones I've used so far....

Re: Purple Haze
I think the idea is to mimic colour infrared film like Kodak Aerochrome.
Haha!
I did try 'colour correcting' these in Lightroom just to see what would happen - the results were not...

Purple Haze
I recently got my hands on some Lomography Lomochrome Purple (https://shop.lomography.com/en/films/120-film/lomochrome-purple-film-400-120-5pack) which kind of mimics the legendary Kodak Aerochrome...

Olympus IS-3000 Part 2 - Photos
Following on from my post about my 'new' Nineties wonder machine Olympus IS-3000 (http://e-group.uk.net/forum/showthread.php?t=50888), I've now put a couple of rolls of film through it. The first...

Re: Olympus IS-3000
Yes, we'll see. Most of the way through the first roll, probably finish it off tomorrow. One advantage of having the zoom lens, I guess, is not having to crop too much.
It's certainly not as...

Olympus IS-3000
I've never been a fan of bridge cameras, film or digital. But I had to give this one a go. Spotted this IS-3000 on Ebay various bits of kit for a grand total of £30.

Re: Wartime Bridgend
Thanks!
Thanks John. Not bad for a camera that cost me £30 I guess. :)
I suppose the Isolette with the Solinar lens would have been quite a high end camera in its day though.

Re: Honestly, do you like autofocus?
My preference for hand held shooting is usually auto focus, it's quicker and more accurate than focusing manually, for me at least. However there are times where manually selecting the focus is...

Re: Wartime Bridgend
Yes you're probably right about the quality. I also have an Isolette with an Agnar lens which is not so sharp and has more of a vintage look to it. And Tri-X probably would have suited better if I'd...

Re: Wartime Bridgend
I like the look of the Isola 1. A bit limited on shutter speed I believe though - isn't it limited to 1/50th sec or something?
Thanks!

Re: Wartime Bridgend
Thanks Phil! Not many quality medium format cameras you can fold up and put in your pocket. I really should use it more often though.

Wartime Bridgend
Took my Agfa Isolette II to a Wartime Bridgend event last weekend. It's from the 1950s rather than 40s but it still looks the part at events like this. I also have an Isolette with an Agnar 75mm...

The Iphone was nothing to do with me though. I realised I was never going to get a clear shot of the Queen from where I was standing so decided to take a shot of the person in front of me instead....

Re: Fancy taking photos with a 90 year old camera
Beautiful. Does it take film, though, or plates? You can actually buy dry plates ready made:

And plate holders may soon be available via a Kickstarter as well:...

Re: Gloucester Cathedral
Although Gloucester's not that far away from us I'd never actually been to the Cathedral before. Definitely worth a visit.
