FirstFlex 1952

This camera was on my desk when I arrived to work yesterday. A beautiful FirstFlex ❤

The Firstflex are Japanese 6×6cm TLR cameras for 120 film, made by Tokiwa Seiki in about 1951-55, with the viewing and taking lenses linked by external gear-teeth. McKeown lists several models, describing them as cheaply made.

And I will soon find more info on this camera and test shoot. 

Thanks Tommy!

Lomo LC-A+

Next week its this Lomo LC-A+ camera that will be tested if I will keep or selling. All you need to think about with this camera is the distance to your object. 0,8m, 1.5m, 3m or infinity.

I'm going to do a lot of double exposures and that's why I bought this camera from the beginning. Now loaded it with ILFORD HP5 black & white film. So in a week or two I know if I have falling in love with this camera..

I'm selling some of my digital cameras today

To funding the upcoming analog project, I will be selling some of my digital cameras and what is a better night than a Saturday when people just received the salary?

And I will also selling some analog cameras, lomo cameras, lenses, camera bags and books. I have to much stuff and want to get back to basics. 

The digital that I will keep is my Fuji X-T2 with my old Nikon lenses so 100% manual and magic.

Pneumonia

I got a negative test result for Covid so that's good. Pneumonia and just a bad cold and what do you do when you are at home with a fever and cough? you eat, drink tea, sleep, look in books (to tired to read) and you take pictures to make time go faster. Tomorrow I finally go back to work..

Is my GRII worth keeping?

 

Now I will start selling some cameras. I will give the GRII one more try before I will sell. I still dont like the 18,3mm lens (28mm full fram). In this book I found a challange "alphabet photography". So that I will do this week and I dont think I will put the letters in order (takes too much time). 

I will also do street portraits that was my goal from the beguinning with this camera and on Sunday I will sell if I still don't have fall in love.

Pentax 67

 

I have also loaded the Pentax 67 (the sexy camera) I only wish I had bigger arms to hold this cam for a longer time. 

And tonight I have been listening to the new "The Mobile Homes" album as you can notice.

Negotiations

 

My last weeks have been a bit difficult with negotiations so my photography has suffered (no inspiration) next week, everything should be be completed I hope. Fingers crossed..

Soon lots of new portraits with this loaded camera. I will do my project "my song" with or without Covid.
