My name is Suzy, and I am a camera Addict

Say Hello to my new (used) Yashica-C TLR from ebay. Aint he cute. I just got done shooting and developing my first roll with him. I used the Lomo film from the previous post.


So far so good. It doesn't have a light meter so I used my digital camera as one. The negs looks really sharp, but I'll see after I get to scanning them. I've been looking around for camera shops that do servicing to give him a good cleaning and tuning.


I posted the negative scans over at my Flickr

Developed my FIRST EVER ROLL of 120 film

Mystery 100 iso Lomography film too. I searched for development times, but ended up using a guesstimate based on Kodak 100 at 9.5 mins with D-76 1:1.

Observances: Film is too slow for my Holga on normal, sky shots are over and Ajax shots are under. Loading 120 onto reels is way easier than I thought it was going to be.

I have 2 more rolls left of the Lomo film, after those are done I don't think I'll ever use them again. First its totally overpriced. I was desperate to try my Holga with 120 film and it was a Friday (all main camera/film stores are closed Friday afternoons and all day Saturdays). Second I searched and asked around for development times. I mainly use the Massive Development Chart for times when I lose packaging. Third, I like using Illford.

Spring semester needs to start soon so I can go back in the darkroom and get printing.

Black and White with my Holga 120N

Shot two rolls this week of the snow and neighborhood on the Holga. It's been a really long time since I have developed negatives at home but even with our new smaller sink I managed pretty well. However when it came to hanging the film to dry I ran into a snag. We used to have a curtain rod that was movable that I could shift to the center of the tub, but now we have glass sliding doors. So what to do... I grabbed my Katana from when I cosplayed as Tashigi from One Piece and used that.
