127 Shooters in the US?
« on: April 06, 2010, 12:56:29 AM »
Hey all! We've just launched the Rollei Creative Edition of Films and Cameras, and we have some 127 Redscale, X-pro and B/W that we need a few photog's to test for us... any takers? Let us know, and we'll send you out some... Cheers-- NIC

What's a good 127 cam that's easy to use? Oddly with all the cams I have, that's the one I've never bought...

Kodak Brownie Holiday Flash and Churchies Spy camera. There are tons more and 127 cams are usually cheap on eBay.

most 127 cameras are easy to use point and shooters. there are a couple nice tlrs, and the kowa komaflex-s, which is an slr like the kowa 6.

Nic, go to ebay now and search "kodak 127." A favorite of mine that's comfortable to use is the Brownie 127 (UK). There's one ending within the day. It's a 127 version of the Cresta from Kodak UK. Trust me, you'll like it. Nice bakelite piece. Cheap.

I got too many unused 127 cameras...
From a georgeous Zeiss-Ikon Baby Box (built like a tank) to a very deco Kodak Bullet, my mom's Holiday Brownie and a very funkadelic Hawkeye Flashfun...

This guy in Lithuania has loads of old 127 cameras in his Flickr sets and there's lots of examples of what each one does

127, 4x4, is my favorite format.  I love to try some of your new film.  I not long ago go a Komaflex-s and am itching to put some film thru it.

Hello everyone.
I do not live in U.S. but I do use 127 film. I have a couple of BERDFORDFLEX a CORONET 4-4, and EMPIRE BABY and I love the result.
Lately I'm shooting more with this type of film. even missing me much material to upload to flickr gallery, but here is a small sample. http://www.flickr.com/photos/blurrystuff/sets/72157623193953505/

Greetings to all
