Ok, it's official: I am in love with my Polaroid camera. It is the worst piece of crap I've ever owned... but somehow it manages to surprise me nearly every time with overexposed images that have that certain je ne sais quoi... which is mutual because clearly the camera doesn't know what it's doing either.

@SutroTower, this one's for you. It was taken today - a perfectly sunny day - although you wouldn't know that from the way this picture turned out.

New joins the family! So typical that I got a gift of Lomography 110 film but had no camera. So of course I had to get a camera for the film (another gift), a Vivitar Tele-835AW. This is a lot like a Kodak 110 I had when I was a small child.

Decision made!
The that I'll take on holiday will be this Ilford Sportsmaster Manumatic from 1962.
The metering works and seems accurate!

An expensive camera at the time, best described as semi-automatic. It's quite weighty. The case is in fair condition for its age (and I don't trust 50 year old leather straps!)

Thinking of our holiday also begs the question of which I will be taking.

All my cameras qualify for the moniker although I only consider a few to be genuinely in that camp.

I'll need to make a choice very soon. It'll definitely be - probably not half frame, but Rapid format is appealing.

I'll have a look tomorrow - I may be some time!

having completed my morning ritual flagellation (reading the 'news'), i'm going to go out in the sun with a to do some

art exists in a weird dynamic for me. it feels trivial and insignificant when the world is on fire and being taken over by literal nazis, but it's necessary for my mental health

this camera is a , not a clone. i have nothing against the clones (I have a ) but they tend to be a little less than the original

I'm having trouble with the thing. I'm fine with (say) using something with a fixed plastic lens for the effect -- that's an artistic decision. Same with weird or expired film. Fun is fun. But including cameras that regularly produced war reportage, fashion ads, magazine covers, and billboards in the "shitty" category strikes me as pretty silly. If you're not getting "Life magazine" results from your old Nikon or Leica or Pentax or Yashica, it's you, not the camera.

My first and last frame and also almost the entire roll, 25ish photos in one frame. If this isn't a then I don't know what is. And not only because after the first 6 frames it refused to move the film.

Update on the other that I went out with. Developed the roll. Nothing on it. Ugh. Perfectly poopy roll of expired plus x and nothing on it. Could be the camera is not working, could be the developer is no good, could be the film was gone. Oh well. Got one roll of pooptastic entry done.
