Sometimes the impossible happens.. I went and pick up a film from my lab "Odenlab".
A roll of film which technically would be completely black but I push this film +2. The man in the lab said "no - we are not push colorfilm, there is no use" but I did not give up and the magic did happen.
So Mamiya, Brownie, Starflex, Bilbora Stal Box, Slomexa, Hexi, Agfa Optima, Smena 8, Nikon F2 or the Clack? Who will be the winner for this weekend and my Analog Love films?! Lomography.. in both 120 and 35mm.
And I could not resist the ILFORD HP5 PLUS single-use film camera just for fun. Complete with a flash for low light situations. It contains ILFORD HP5 PLUS black and white film giving up to 27 exposures.. I'm a bit hopeless...
Apparatebau und Kamerafabrik were a camera manufacturer based in Monheim, Germany. The company were active in the mid- 1950s, making mostly Bakelite or other plastic cameras. Some of the cameras were made under licence from Pouva.
Camera Hexi is from 1955.
120mm film 6x6.
My camera is a little bit rusty, but oh so beautiful and missing the red filter on the back of the camera but is easily fixed. And want to try it right away!
The Ansco Readyflash was a simple viewfinder-type camera with a fixed-focus lens, fixed aperture and single-speed shutter. Made in the US 1950.
620 film, giving 8 2¼" x 3¼" exposures on a roll. Its big feature was that it was flash-ready (hence the name) the lens mount had two flash terminals, synched to the shutter, to attach to a flashbulb unit. The body was a basic sheet-metal box, with removable lid, and plastic fittings carrying the lens, shutter and viewfinder.
My new Zeiss Ikon Contina IIa (1954-56) 45mm/ f 3.5 for 35mm film.
This camera is in good condition, the light meter still works and I got it almost for free. Will be fun to try it - Happy!
So excited about my new little Starflex! So cool camera but will be hard to cut film into 127mm.

Now that I can just lie still, what's better than hunt camera film online. Right now im look for 127 film that is so expensive film.
I hope to find any company where I can buy many for a better price. In Stockholm, I have found a company that sells one roll for 200 sek (and it is only 12 images 4x4) and I'm already ruined.
So if you have any tips on where I can buy all kind of cheap film 35mm, 120 and 127, please contact me!
2017, I will have to buy lots of film for my two project "Magic" and "Old Tattoo"
And now I have bought another camera that has 127 film. Because of its beauty, I could not resist and cost almost nothing. Brownie Starflex from 1957
It have not come with the mail yet, but it´s nice and so dirty.
