The Current Lineup

I thought I would share the current film cameras I'm using as part of my exploration.  


First is the Nikon FE.  I've had it for a decade but never had a lens.  Special thanks to Hassel Weems for the 50mm lens.  It is small and light and I'll use it mostly for B&W film.





The newest addition and probable workhorse is the Mamiya 645 AF.  It is a medium format camera with all of the modern bells and whistles.  It will be used with color film almost exclusively.



The last of the group is my Polaroid 600 SE.  It is the big daddy of the Polaroid world.  It has a 150mm lens and creates 3x4 inch prints.  Since Polaroid has discontinued production of the film, I'm using the film from Fuji.  There is old Polaroid film still available that I hope to get and use for some special projects.  





So, I'm using the Mamiya and Nikon this weekend to augment the coverage of my wedding at Pineola Farms.  It takes a few weeks to get the film back, but it will be posted.  Wish me luck.
