it's time for a camera update/review again.

So it is summer, which means a lot of sunlight.. as a toy camera user this is the time of year to pick it up and catch the sunrays. i have film that is about to expire i shall take this chance to try them. and yes i know it's fun to shoot expired film, but i prefer it when it isn't. developing film is very expensive here, so i usually end up shooting about 3 films/year, which, isnt a lot, but that's where i'm at right now. I've had a lot of luck with my film rolls, because most pictures have always turned out and looked good without hardly any light leaks. After 3 years of learning and testing and exploring, i have my favorite cameras that fit me very good and my favorite film to go with them:

the diana.

i added a wide angle lens, because i wanted to have the option of fitting more things into the frame, landscapes, buildings, people etc. and so far i like it. it doesn't produce as much dark corners, but that's ok. the flash doesnt really fit when the viewfinder is attached, so that's a bit annoying, but my diana flash broke after a few times, so whatever. top left is kodak portra vc without wide angle lens, top right is fuji reala without wide angle lens. bottom left is fuji reala with wide angle lens, bottom right is kodak ektar with wide angle lens.

the holga 120
i've mostly used black&white film in this, and it suits it better than color i think. i particularly like shooting stone buildings with kodak t-max. if i ever go to transylvania, i will bring my holga.

the minolta zoom 80
this camera is such a dream. i love this little one and the photos it produces. i will be so sad the day it stops working. i think my favorite film with this camera is the kodak portra nc.

the SLR nikkormat ft
this camera likes natural film. and i like them together. kodak portra ftw. this camera was my grandfathers, it was made in the 60's. i love this one, i've shot several film rolls with it already, but it is heavy to carry.
