The difference quality makes.

I noticed something interesting about these two pics. Both of these pictures were taken at roughly the same time maybe five minutes apart under the same lighting conditions, but they have wildy different outcomes. Mind you the film is the exact same in each camera, iso 200. Now the difference here is that the one of Heather was taken on a 1976 Praktica SLR, a nice glass and metal sturdy german camera, and the one of me was taken on a plastic body, plastic lens, new Diana Mini. Wow what a difference.

 

 

Diana Mini First Roll

These pics are taken with a Diana Mini. It's an all plastic toy film camera that shoots square 24mm x 24mm or 17mm x 24mm. I had these on my macbook for a while and forgot about them, they are from May 2010. I got the film developed and put to disk at Shoppers which left an 11 mm black bar on each one which I cropped out in Picasa. No edits on the shots other then the crop to square. The city shot is from One King West and is a 10 second hand held bulb exposure pressed against the window to keep it steady.

 

 

 

 

Three new cameras.

Heather and I stopped at Bud Gowan Antiques when we saw a 50% off sign in the window. I found these three cameras each of them for under ten dollars. Since every camera collector has to have a Brownie in his collection I realized this was my Brownie. I just love the Art Deco pattern on the steel front. The Brownie (box shaped camera) is a Brownie Six-16. Taking the camera apart was a challenge who knows how many years it sat on a shelf. The date on the sticker inside says 1932 also made in Canada. It has a Six-20 handle on it which must have came from another camera. There was a roll of film inside too! I am going to get it developed, would be awesome if there were some pictures from the 30s on it.

The next camera is an Instamatic X-35, this one was five bucks. I didn't realize it was not a a 35mm camera until I got it home. But I found a youtube video that shows how to put 35mm film in the 126 cartridge. I just have to get my hands on a cartridge for this camera.

The last camera may be the most interesting and possibly the rarest of the three. Its a Time Magazine camera that came with a subscription of Time back in the day. I am not sure what year it is but I am guessing mid 80s. Its a cool looking 35mm camera and its very light. Also has a hot shoe which should work well with my 25 dollar holga flash. Toy cameras are all the rage these days and this was a stellar find for under 10 bucks!

More from my Canonet 28.

The Canonet 28 is not going to be my favourite go to film camera but its still a fun little camera too use. Its just too bad its not fully manual. Here are a few more shots I took with it.

Trudeau Purse

I am by no means wise in the ways of fashion. But I thought this custom made Trudeau purse was pretty cool.

One King West

 

Snapped this pic of the hotel One King West. Nice place stayed there for our 1 year ann. Taken on Canon G10, no edits.

Canonet 28

Found this on Kijiji. I paid too much but I couldn't resist. Its a circa 1970s Canonet 28.

Wrecking Yard.

Truck cropped.

Did a crop on this. Most of the time I just post full frame shots with zero crops but I wanted to move this truck over a bit and lose the van on the right hand side. This also throws the pic in line with the rule of thirds.
