Nikon L35AF

A very capable point and shoot camera. Solid, heavy and not so small. It has a 35mm lens with an aperture f2.8. It's fully automatic, the flash pops up if the light is not enough for a steady picture but can be switched back off.

Agfamatic 126

Another instamatic-type camera, found it with film. No settings in this one. fixed aperture and a fixed shutter speed, the speed changes if a flashcube is inserted.

The photo lab developped the film, my old crappy scanner scanned it. I did photograph the negatives. Quality of the images is very poor. Time to get me a new scanner!

Kodak Instamatic 25

I found another Kodak Instamatic with a half used film in it, so I gave the 5euro bill and bought it.
I had the lever to cloudy all the time and snapped the film till the end.



The photo lab developed the film but was unable to scan it.
I did it with my old 35mm scanner. The film was very weak and the scan quality awful.

Kiev 30 spy camera

I bought this small camera at the Sunday Flea Market for 10 euros. It is in very good, like new condition. It is a full manual camera with aperture and shutter settings. The camera is sliding open and gets ready for picture taking.  There is a focusing ring beside the shutter button. Takes a special 16mm film catridge.
As soon as I find some film I will test the camera.

The camera open and ready. The focus ring is next to the shutter button.


There is an exposure indicator next to the viewfinder, and to rings to set the aperture and shutter speed to the side of the camera.

Dacora Digna 1st roll

I loaded the camera with a Fuji 120 film (100 ASA) to test the camera. I noticed that when depressing the shutter button the shutter blades let some light fall over a small part of the picture. I tried to cover the lens first and then release my finger from the shutter button, but this was not done in every picture.

The Camera

I rephotographed the negatives and converted them to positives in Lr3
 there is some nice detail here

 The car was in a shady area and the camera underexposed the scene.
