Canon Prima 120 (Sure Shot Classic 120)

A modern point and shoot Canon camera. It has a 38-120mm zoom. Takes excellent, correctly exposed pictures but has slow apertures that require high ISO film.

I had the intention to use the camera indoors with a high sensitivity 3200 ASA film.

but as we went to a demonstration against IMF's austerity measures I shot the film under a bright but cloudy day.  There is obvious grain in the film but the camera made it fine.

More from the Pico mini 110

The camera with the film loaded and the frame up, ready to shoot.

More samples from the Lomography film. Unsharp overexposed photos with oversaturated colors.

Pico Mini 110 camera

A miniscule toy camera. Payed 1 euro for this, came with its original plastic matchbox and instructions in Italian. Takes the long discontinued 110 film format.  Has a fixed lens with a simgle f8/ 1/80sec aperture/shutter combination. There is a retractable plastic frame for image composition.

I loaded the Camera with the only film in production the Lomography Tiger 200 ASA. Results where dissapointing. Blurry, shaken photos, overexposed and oversaturated colors and framing was off. 

Here are some scanned samples.

More from Sabina

Some more from the first film:

a joiner



Sabina 1st roll

The Sabina camera was loaded with a 35mm 200 ASA Kodak Gold, rolled in a cut 120 backing paper. I used the length for 16 exposures, but the scratches in the emulsion proved it was too long and fit very tightly into the small camera body.

 Some samples from this toy camera!

 framing was off, and the film did not lay flat.

 and a double exposure

Sabina, made in Greece

New find. This is a small toy camera, Sabina made in Greece in the early sixties. I only know of one camera, the Picca - a Dakora Digna clone, that were ever made in Greece.
It must have an f11 aperture and a 1/30th speed. Takes 127 film. I have to roll a 35mm film into a 127 spool to test it, I'm anxious!

 

Bencini Comet 2nd roll

This time I loaded a Kodacolor 200 ASA film and was exposed fine, but I did mistake the frame markings that resulted in many overlapped pictures. The automatic lab scanner got confused so I joined some pics together. I also put some carton mask in the film frame to support the film flat but I didn't do a good job there either; the film was still not flat. Finaly the film got stuck but only after taking the last picture.
