#FILM: The Vish Photographic Rescue and Salvage operation saves a whole bunch of fabulous kit from the skip. You’ve never even seen #IlfordHP4 220, have you? And these #HP5 135 canisters are sealed! Never seen those before. #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #blackandwhitephotography

Rescuing Kit, #1

Rescuing Old Kit

It was a sleepy Saturday afternoon and I got wind of a gentleman in Chiswick who was about to throw out a bunch of functioning kit… So I winged it over and rescued it. Here, some old film, which I love since you never know how it’s going to react when you use it… You’ve never even seen #IlfordHP4 220, have you? And these #HP5 135 canisters are sealed! Never seen those before. #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #blackandwhitephotography

Ok, I have to get through this pile by spring. Who wants their picture taken? Freebie shoots until this has gone. #film #photography #photoshoot #fuji #ilford #kodak #agfa #35mm #120film #filmphotography #filmisnotdead #trix400

I use my old Contax T2 for crappy snapshots to put in the family album, because those are the shots that should be there, but the dial has been dodgy for years. I figured I would pick up a spare one for parts, like I do with all my old cameras, especially Contaxes because the electronics fail. So this £50 camera has turned into a frickin’ £700 camera overnight and I have NO IDEA WHY. The same thing happened to my G2 but luckily I’d picked up spares and parts by then. The guy in Aperture doesn’t understand either. If they break, good luck fixing them. They’re dead without parts. I bought this almost twenty years ago and it was pretty worthless, but a steal. Anyway, it’s a lovely camera and staggeringly simple to use, if anyone wants to borrow it to try out, let me know! #contax #contaxt2 #filmphotography #compactcamera #t2 #film

In the digital era, this stack is not really considered to be a lot of pics. But it’s still awesome getting a batch of negs and scans back. #photography #negatives #filmisnotdead #film #blackandwhite
