I wanted to be earlier this morning (and maybe be the first in line) but my connection was down

So, here's a bunch with Diana Mini.
All shot on Kodakcolor 200

Yep! it's got the choice between half frame and square frame that can be changes mid roll with a switch. The bad thing is the square frame doesn't allow you to put more pictures on a roll... but still, I kind of like it even though the exposure control is pretty primitive and focus is quite approximative.

Miles · « **Reply #12 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:27:10 PM »

Thanks, square 35mm is my holy grail

, I even bought a Rapid Minolta for it, but it turned out to be a dud. May have to think about a mini them ...

Francois · « **Reply #13 on:** May 06, 2011, 10:42:37 PM »

Or you could try and get a Robo spy camera. It's the only one I know of that has good optics.

Windy, it amazes me how different Holgas can be. I have the same model as you and the difference in rendering is remarkable. My poor old holga couldn't match that sharpness. :-)

calbisu · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2011, 11:34:07 AM »

Francois, great images, specially love the second one
PB, night shots plus ching is a winner shot!
Warden, the holga indeed looks soft compared to the ikon, but love that shot of the worm seekers!

Some shots from last weekend in Hong Kong and Macau. What a place!! You really could spend many days just shooting. I brought with me just the POlaroid 195 and some FP100b and 669 film 15 years expired, which proved quite challenging, but on the other side interesting shots, somehow. The boy scouts (and one girl) had to move them to get best light available, and the bending sitting man had to take two shots as he kept the first one I showed him These are the black and white ones

Francois · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2011, 02:50:46 PM »

Ian: the first one is very nice. I'm always amazed to see the differences between cheap plastic lenses.
Carlos: double decker trams? never seen those before.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #20 on:** May 07, 2011, 02:59:33 PM »

Since the weekend threads always get a lot of attention..Thought I would mention here that HOLGAVILLE is one year old this week! Still going strong..and thinking of doing a blurb book ...so would like to hear the reaction/ideas from anyone interested!

Yep, first time for me too. They are really cool, pretty narrow, there are many of them. Price was 2 HongKongese dollars, which is like 25 cents of a euro, not bad. This one was going pretty slowly so I shot at 1/8 so it would look as it was going verrrrrry fast

Here are a few from my first home development (Expired TMax 100 in D76 1:1) and my first roll through the Rollei 35SE. Photos taken in Southern Vermont.

The next couple are from a homemade redscale roll (ISO 400 rated @ 25) shot using a Nikon FM and some Pre-Ai glass.

calbisu, all three are wonderful. Is the man holding incense? It's an inviting shot. The third is my fave though, just right.

HS, that third image is arresting and I really like it. Makes me wonder what's happening at stage left. Those shoes . . .

Lovely work everyone and Happy Anniversary Holgaville !!

Here's one of the frames I "rescued" from the film I sent to the lomographic lab processing.

The Fuji Sensia went through various weather conditions since 2007 when I first loaded the camera

, from 40º in a beach to negative conditions in Europe, until finally be sent to be processed few weeks ago (can't remember if I posted here already...

)... anyways, here it is.

Lomo LCA cross processed.

I am afraid he is holding the first Polaroid I shot at him. I showed it to him and he liked it pretty much so he kept it with thim and then I shot this one. My chinese is as poor as his english was, well I can say hello, thank you and bye-bye

Peter, that second one has a great comp!
Mauricio, that cross processing looks just great!!

Mil Mascaras · « **Reply #31 on:** May 08, 2011, 08:31:27 AM »

More Hong Kong, including some double deckers.

Paul H · « **Reply #32 on:** May 08, 2011, 11:36:14 AM »

These two are actually from last weekend, but I didn't get round to developing and scanning them straight away. These two are from a rare beast, a Weha Chrome Six. It's a pop-out lens type camera, with what looks like a Super Ikonta style rotating prism coupled rangefinder mechanism (but is apparently a sliding prism), and a film counter (though no auto-stop - you just line up the arrow on the counter with the arrow on the body....weird)

First one shot around f5.6:

Second one shot wide, wide open:

love those diana mini photos, and those expired 669 are great!

every time I see a photo on here, I want to use a different camera, and end up with 10 cameras with 1/2 used film in them!

leads to some nice surprises at development though!

enjoy your weekends...
