I got my first working camera at about the age of 6. Something that looked incredibly similar to the current Lomography Diana F+. I’ve accumulated cameras ever since.
These days I’m mostly shooting with:
Leica M10
Leica SL
My active film cameras include:
Leica M3
Hasselblad Xpan
Olympus trip 35
I have been looking at the OMD and a couple of primes (12mm f2 included) Desperate for something good, light and digital. (miss lots of good stuff because I don’t want to lug a dslr around everywhere!) I have heard this is a great camera and looking forward to trying it!
The only thing I didn’t like about this camera was the need to set up the menus. It is highly customisable and I had to check a few websites for help/suggestions on settings but otherwise I love it. The Sony RX1 is also rather tempting.
By the way, Olympus are running promotions in January in many countries for cash back, etc on new camera and/or lens purchases. It ends January 31 in Australia and probably elsewhere.
good to see you still use film! my favourite cameras i use all the time, are a rolleiflex tlr, olympus 35sp and, would you believe it, an olympus trip 35!
Thanks. The xpan is my most used film camera.
Nice gear and great photo’s on your blog (I myself am trying to maximize output with minimal gear … partly because of lack of funds;)
Thanks.
I’m a bit of a sentimentalist. I can’t bear to part with my old cameras, even if they may be unusable. Even the physical camera stirs memories.
Thanks for the equipment information – I am always curious about what other people are using as well as what post-procesing methods are employed. This will help me as I look over your site.
Thanks for visiting.
With respect to post processing, I use Lightroom 4 with additional nik software and other presets/brushes. However, as I learn more about Lightroom, I find myself less reliant on the other presets unless I’m after a particular look. Visualistion is the key…
Yes, just like knowing your shooting gear (whatever that may be) – you need to understand your processing software. I depend a lot on Photoshop’s adjustment layers and layer masks – so that I can always return to tweak a picture after I think I’m finished with it.
Thanks for the information on your cameras. I feel like such a novice. Your photographs are absolutely amazingly BEAUTIFUL! Love the black and white.
Thank you very much. I’m a hoarder and can’t let any of them go. 🙂
