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.

I have a roll of Illford HP5 in now almost ready for developing ^.^
