Re: PESO -- Swinging out in Red Rocks ...

Then I found this: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6951597size=lg I do know I didn't shoot that film. Looks like the camera takes 127 film. Do you think I can still buy film for this camera?

Point a heat gun at the lens, and get it good an aspherical. And lumpy. And arty. Scott- I like the Holga look. A bit more of her face would be nice. It is a sweet picture of a little girl. Is it art? It could be. It seems like a large part of art is having the nerve to stand up and DECLARE THAT THIS IS ART. And it is good to have people agree with you. But what do I know? I'm just this guy with a camera.

Re: PESO - Swinging (with a Brownie Surprise)
You should process the film that's in the camera. Might be some faded images on there. It's worth a try. Have fun. paul On Feb 14, 2008, at 9:01 PM, Christine Aguila wrote: Scott: I was just reading an article in Photolife about toy cameras. Then you posted your really sweet photo Swinging.

Re: PESO - Swinging (with a Brownie Surprise)
Film for Classics carries 127 film but it ain't cheap. http://www.filmforclassics.com/html/printable_order_form.htm The frugal photographer carries only color film for a bit less http://www.frugalphotographer.com/cat127.htm I think BH photo has it as well, but I haven't looked there in ages. I don't have a 127 camera that's special enough to pay a minimum of $7 plus processing for 8 shots, (maybe if I had a baby Rollie but my Bakelite brownie isn't that great). It's funny but now it's less expensive to shoot 120 than 127. Christine Aguila wrote: Scott: I was just reading an article in Photolife about toy cameras.
