I love many old things - technology, photography, games, anime etc. I'm mostly here to enjoy art and maybe post an occasional cat photo. Occasionally make things for retro game jams or Ludum Dare.
Jumping into subminiature cameras with this little cute Mamiya Super 16 - also got a handful of old metal carts for it. Waiting on some old microfilm to arrive, but in the meantime I took a funny size comparison photo. My 5x7 Agfa Ansco really dwarfs this little thing.

Haven't used UXF 100 (Kentmere 100 iirc) before and it feels a bit grainier than expected for a 100 iso film. That could be down to my developing or of course general expectations of the format. Used my Olympus Pen D3 for everything. Scanning was a pain - my Canoscan blew a lot of negatives out.

All 3 of my rolls from early September for half-frame day are developed and scanned. A lot of images were lost due to bigger leaders than expected with bulk rolling and accidentally exposing part of one. It definitely made me go out and shoot more film than usual.

First roll developed for @halfframephotoday.bsky.social. I'm rusty at developing anything outside sheet film, but it's good to be back at it.

In the world outside my film work I recently got a Kodak DC120 circa 1998. A chunky horizontal 1.3mp digicam. Had it out last night for the sunset.

Got an Olympus Pen D3 and Konica Autorex from Japan a couple days before this shipping madness began and in time for @halfframephotoday.bsky.social. The Autorex's finder is badly hazed and my other Pens are barely into full rolls, so the D3 gets its test run during the competition.

My old work calculator is on the way out so I got two cute 80s pocket PCs to replace it. A Panasonic HHC (RL-H1400) and a Tandy TRS-80 PC-2 (Sharp PC-1500). The Panasonic should be more powerful since it has a full 6502 but the BASIC and FORTH roms seem quite rare and it's locked down besides that.

Full spectrum modified a Nikon D70 for a friend - happy to do 720nm tests in my neighborhood with it.

Will have to dig in further but my Sr. Partner loves it so far. Thanks for continuing to develop awesome titles for these old machines!

Starting to shoot my Mamiya ZD in full spectrum more - focus and metering is still somewhat of a guess but still fun!

Some infrared cloud shots from right before a thunder storm today near my house. Sony F-828 always an easy and reliable option for these.

Got a Toshiba Allegretto PDR-2 recently for that early digicam silliness.

Finally got a decent sized memory card for my Mamiya ZD, but that won't stop most of my digital photos being my cats.

Last image - recent one with my ZD Back. Surprisingly don't have any film images of these guys besides a couple unscanned Instax shots - they tend to move too much for most of the slower iso 3-100 film/paper I shoot with. I'll get back to resharing retro content and see yinz in 6 months probably.

Here's another Ricoh GR Digital image - the noise looks nice and crunchy in this I think.
