    This month's photo topic is "Vintage" ... be it using vintage gear or vintage as the subject

    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:

    Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    and most importantly have fun.

    First cab off the rank this month, here is an image of my Canon film cameras, an AE1 and a T70 the second image is that of a Mamiya C3 uses a 6*6 medium format and uses twin lens reflex third is a Mamiya RB67 Pro S, this camera was used for photographing the images that appeared in glossy magazines. Unfortunately Canon did not produce medium format equipment. There was three film sizes availabe for the RB67 series of cameras, 6*8 in portait mode on the RB67 Pro SD models ,6*7, 6*6, 6*4.5. for the earlier RB67 models.This camea is a beast I have 8 lenses for the 6*7 and a Nineth one is on it's way, I don't really need them all but I have been drooling over a 65mm, that will bring the collecton up to 10. canon film.jpg Mamiya.jpg IMG_0002.JPG

    A little Canon stuff
    The year is 1921, or so the inscription on the case says.

    But when left is right, right is left, up is down, and down is up, those that people that done this hobby over 100 years before us had something that we will never know. This is not straight forward, nor by any means fast. No information in the viewfinder, no tack sharp viewing image.

    And the outside looks very different to what we have nowadays.

    This is a no1a autographic Kodak Jr that was produced from 1914 to 1927. I would so love to actually use the thing one day.

    Canon RP and a Sigma 70mm macro lens. The first image has a 36mm extension tube to get that little bit closer.
