[jen_shumate]

i'm looking for lomo and polaroid cameras on ebay. do you have any tips on which type / brand / etc i should get?

[jen_shumate]

poleroid sx-70 cameras can do transfers and whatnot.
like such:

i am so confused. i'm not really looking for a high tech polaroid camera.

[jen_shumate]

its not high tech at all. unless you start doing transfers, and even that isnt hard... poleroid automatic 100 is also nice.

[explodingsunset]

i think i was thrown off with the transfers, i haven't done them, i've only heard about them.

[jen_shumate]

the same camera does regular ol' poleroids too and you can learn the transfers later if you wanted.

Hey Jen,
Would you happen to know a good site that describes what supplies and steps to do polaroid transfers?
thanks

[jen_shumate]

as for lomo i dig the samplers, getting this one for my birthday.

i have two cameras i haven't developed yet, but i have taken numerous pictures with and am anticipating how things show up on film.
kodak duraflex IV
zeiss icomat
antique cameras passed down to me, have you heard anything good about them, what shots work best with them?

[jen_shumate]

i have a duaflex II but ive only used it once, but for those old cameras and meduim format film, always use bright daylight conditions, they dont do well with low light. there are some diana camera medium format shots in my gallery. i dont have any other tips really... each one seems to have its own personality.

the zeiss is a pretty camera, but i havent tried any bellows style cameras other than a poleroid yet... looks like some of those ikomats were large format, which should be nice to mess around with.

Jen, i have to say i disagree about the sx-70. As a self proclaimed polaroid genius... actually obsessed collector/historian. I have to say go for the land series

oh yeah and one more thing.... camping... we have to make reservations at least 7 days in advance... but we should make them earlier. I just dont have a number of people to work with unfortunately. But right now... i wanted to make sure you are going. You are going!

[jen_shumate]

well i wanted to talk to you about it, and see if we could estimate how much gas will cost plus the cost of staying there... just to make sure. because i can barely pay my bills lately. i found a random person online that wants to go, he lives in lakeland and doea photography too.
