[QUOTE=waylander;33621967]i kind of hate film sometimes i tend to use part of a roll then run out of things to shoot, atm i have half a exposed roll of velvia 50 in my mamiya and 1/3rd of a exposed roll of ektar in my om-10. with the mamiya it isnt so bad i could switch the back if i had one to use another type of film and there arnt that many exposures but it takes forever to get through a 36 exposure 35mm[/QUOTE]
Don't hang in stasis dude. Just pick up your camera and keep it on you the next time you leave the house.
I should totally be bringing a camera with me more often. The only thing is that my routine is so boring.
Dumping some more. If it gets too much, let me know guys. Just putting them here as I get them online.

Mate, I can't stress this enough. Your routine is what you make of it and don't let yourself tell you it's not.

It's a sick camera.
I think I've almost scanned and uploaded enough photographs to make a thread about my trip similar to the other thread. There are plenty more to come.
I said it'd be the last time I posted, but have a few more. Apart from the last few days it's been weeks since I posted anything on the forums. I'm just using these as an excuse to not do my work. There's more on my flickr if anyone's interested.

[QUOTE=altern;33648512]So film gurus. What can you tell me about my father's Minolta XG-1? Is it worth anything?[/QUOTE]
it's worth what you make of it, i guess. i've never handled a minolta before, nor know too much about the XG-1 model. apparently, it's an XG-E with just a less informative finder display, and has no removable back door. it was the second to appear in the XG series, the first being an XG-E. it also uses the MD lens mount, and is your standard SLR? it's notable that it's acclaimed to having an "amazing shutter", use the outdated CdS metering system, and stepless speeds from 1s to 1/1000s while using the automatic aperture priority. yeah, just your standard SLR, I guess. nothing super special about the camera other than it's not made anymore. fetched a pretty affordable price on eBay, and seems like a nice camera for it's price.
Got through a roll with the Praktica LTL3. Some nice results and the Bell and Howell 28mm seems like a decent lens for the money it cost

My light meter does work and it's very rudimentary --> if it's a bit dark you can't see it, so you're not missing out on much, the timer is cool though.
I'm quite sure the battery needed for them is still available, assuming an empty battery is the problem.

Its not the battery, I acquired a few of the batterys. The problem is that there is alot of corrosion in the battery compartment
A little very fine sandpaper should help.
Alright, so after purchasing this Zenit TTL, i've learned that is uses an M42 Thread Mount. The Canon AE-1 Program I use has an FD mount. I've learned that there is an adapter for the M42 to go onto the FD body, but does anyone know if there is a way vice versa? Like, the FD lens going onto the Zenit TTL? Anyone know of any adapters?

I had been looking around for one of those but I never saw any.
But M42 Lenses are normally nice and cheap and still good.
Found my dads old EOS 500 film in the garage yesterday. All I need is some film which I'm picking up on the way home from school.
got some film from pound land, gonna try it out after exams are over yay

FD lenses will not adapt to the zenit as they have a much shorter flange distance.
