Looks like we will be doing something like this:

ENGLAND
GERMANY
GERMANY
ENGLAND
USA
USA
USA
USA
USA
USA
(Possibly ENGLAND, or possibly last person gets to keep the camera!)

ManuelL I don't have your address yet.

You all have some polaroid film ready, right?

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #51 on:** November 08, 2013, 10:57:12 AM »

Which kind?

Peel apart or integral? If integral film, then which kind?

I was just kidding, but thinking about it, I'd love to send a polaroid. International shipping might be a bit much though.

Plenty. Cameras too, should we need one for a future chain.

Ooops, sorry I was late. Have sent the address now.
You gave me a little shock there with the polaroid film

Are you sure you have enough there!?

And here was me thinking my having 5 was a bit excessive.

Idiot of the week award goes to [drum roll please].................ME!

I've been waiting a few days for the last address as I've only been sent 9, then this morning I realised that the tenth one is mine.
Sometimes I can not brain.

I'll figure out the shipping order and post it today.

Ok, we are looking at something very much like this, let me know if I've messed anything up.

I have to confess that I laughed and laughed at this because it is SO something I would do!

I once spent 5 solid minutes looking for the cell phone that was in my hand!

The order looks good to me. Cool map.

I was desperately trying to find where I had left my glasses the other day, until I realised I was already wearing them!

Verian · « **Reply #61 on:** November 12, 2013, 11:17:02 AM »

Chose a camera last night, had a quick check over it and realised that it takes 620 film, so now I'll just have to pick another. It's actually quite difficult to choose as I have more 35mm than 120, but I know I have 3 possibilities, I'm thinking pinhole!

(or am I?)

SLVR · « **Reply #62 on:** November 12, 2013, 01:23:31 PM »

You can make a 620 roll by simply snipping the lip around a 120 spool off with a nail clipper. You dont need to remove the film to do this. Ive done this with great success.

There's a guy on ebay selling converted 120 film, I guess he's doing the same thing. I don't want to put everybody to the trouble of doing it for this, but I'll certainly do it for myself so I can use the three cameras I inherited. Thanks for the info

Verian · « **Reply #64 on:** November 13, 2013, 04:24:42 PM »

Hopefully, this should start in around a week. I'm trying to get a specific camera to use.

Ha! Thanks, I needed that laugh this morning. As you can see I had a bad case of Land Camera GAS, which while not cured, is in remission. My goal was to get one of each model, but that goal was dropped when it just go too ridiculous. I am serious about sending one out for a future chain, should this current chain be a success. I'll even load it with the first pack of film.

I have bought a camera specifically for this, which I should have this week. I can then run my roll through it and get it in the post to Urban, probably next week, and we'll be off!

Cameras 1-9 are pretty cool. Looks like you got a lot of material to experiment.

By the way I love the photo background on your website, the faces of the women staring at you is really something, how do you dare to shoot people in the streets!!!

... you are a naaaaaughty man

Thanks. The picture is actually quite large, it's here:

I've never been challenged by anybody when taking pictures on the street, so don't worry about it too much, if anybody ever does I might think differently I guess.

The background was taken at this party:

Verian · « **Reply #77 on:** November 21, 2013, 03:50:38 PM »

The camera is with a courier and on it's way to me right now. With any luck I can put my roll through it at the weekend and then it's off on it's travel's. Is 1.5 kilograms heavy for a camera?

Verian · « **Reply #78 on:** November 29, 2013, 09:04:28 AM »

The camera will be sent this weekend. I've put a roll through it, it works. It is a horrible camera though so let's keep our expectations low!

Verian · « **Reply #79 on:** December 05, 2013, 11:40:09 AM »

Well, first off, apologies for my procrastination, the reason for this is that I wanted to be able to post up some images from the camera. There are 4 below, they are the best I can get out of it, and I'm a little disappointed, and am thinking of sending out something I know can perform better, maybe 35mm instead. I will definitely be going to the post office on Saturday morning and will definitely be posting a camera, it just may not be this one, any comments at all? Am i worrying over nothing?

02Pilot · « **Reply #80 on:** December 05, 2013, 03:41:25 PM »

Hey, you said yourself it's a "horrible camera" - I say send it. I prefer low expectations.

beck · « **Reply #81 on:** December 05, 2013, 03:45:15 PM »

I agree. I think just some minor scanning edits for ones taste would be required...if that. I say go with it as well.

jharr · « **Reply #82 on:** December 05, 2013, 04:16:59 PM »

Everyone has sharp 35mm cameras. I say send this one. It will push us all creatively knowing that we are getting soft, low contrast images.

James

Adam Doe · « **Reply #83 on:** December 05, 2013, 05:51:54 PM »

Agreed, send it on!

ManuelL · « **Reply #84 on:** December 05, 2013, 06:48:13 PM »

Send it on. Those shots don't look so bad. I always enjoy using a camera with limitations.

limr · « **Reply #85 on:** December 06, 2013, 12:11:24 AM »

I'm sensing a theme here...

We'll rise to the challenge! Send it on!

Verian · « **Reply #86 on:** December 13, 2013, 08:38:38 AM »

The camera is in transit!

Apologies for the delay, I have occasional bouts of uselessness (some would say it is more like occasional bouts of usefulness though)

Should be with Urban early next week. When ready, just ask for the next address and I'll PM it.

Off we go!

It has arrived. I'll try to shoot the roll this week and then send it on. Due to Christmas it might take a while to arrive though.

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #91 on:** December 18, 2013, 08:12:58 AM »

And I've shot a roll. Let's see how it turns out. Verian please send me the address so that I can send it along.

ManuelL · « **Reply #93 on:** December 21, 2013, 11:35:14 AM »

The camera has arrived safe and sound. I will try to run through my roll over Christmas and send it on between Christmas and New Year.
I even found a yellow filter that I might be able to fit on it. Let's see.

ManuelL · « **Reply #94 on:** December 27, 2013, 07:24:51 PM »

I finally shot and developed my roll today - I am actually quite happy with (some of) the results, although they are very different from what I do usually.
Carlos, I will try to mail you the camera tomorrow.

I will try the old machina and see what comes out. Manuel included an image that I believe must be from the camera, niiiice.

Getting closer to you Diane

The camera arrived today from Carlos, just in time for our 10 day stay in Cornwall, so hoping the rain will let up!
