Re: Cheating
Hi, Aaron, Yeah, that's what it takes. Minolta used to sell it in cassettes that looked much like 110 cassettes. They stopped doing that about 10 years ago. So my problem won't be finding the rolled film, but a cassette (either with or without old film in it), so that I can load the cassettes myself. I've seen guys trying to sell loaded cassettes on eBay (obviously expired film) for around $25US plus shipping - and getting it. That's twice what I paid for the camera! Once I find a cassette, getting the film won't be a problem. Thanks anyway. regards, frank Aaron Reynolds wrote: On Monday, October 22, 2001, at 04:55 PM, Frank Theriault wrote: I may have told you this already, but I just bought a Minolta 16II on eBay (it's been three weeks now, and the thing still hasn't arrived yet...).

Re: Cheating
Shooting a lot of film doesn't make your pictures any better. I'd have to agree pretty much with Bob Walkden's comments wrt shooting with the Leica. It took me a while to get used to the camera - I even used it for a while and became so disgusted with it that I stuck it in the cabinet for almost six months. Now, like Bob, I use it almost every day and find that for street shooting and people pictures it offers a much better view than an SLR. I do seem to have one advantage, and that's that I'm somewhat able to pre-visualize DOF, although I really don't worry or think about it too much. Juan J. Buhler wrote: On Sun, 21 Oct 2001, J. C.

The other day I spent about one hour taking the last 20 shots of a roll, walking around chinatown in San Francisco. When I finished, I pulled out the MX with K30/2.8 and then K85/1.8 and shot a roll and a half in 30 minutes, in the same two or three blocks I had been walking around with the M6.

Re: Cheating
Hi Bob ... I'm not quite sure what you mean by detachment. When using the Leica I feel a greater involvement in the situation because the viewfinder allows me to see more - I feel more a part of the scene as opposed to viewing it, as you say, like a movie. Bob Walkden wrote: With the M3 though the camera is up to my eye, down, up to my eye, down etc. I feel more like an uninvolved observer.

Re: Cheating
Perhaps I wasn't clear in the way I presented thoughts. You know I shoot a lot of film, and may often shoot a roll or two on just one subject. What I meant is that shooting a lot of film, quickly and without much thought, will not necessarily result in better pictures, just more pictures. A more contemplative approach, regardless of how much film is run through the camera, may well lead to higher quality pictures from the POV of framing, content, and subject matter. Bob Walkden wrote: Shooting a lot of film doesn't make your pictures any better. Have to disagree with you there, Shel. :o) Personally speaking, the more film I shoot, the better I get.

What I meant is that shooting a lot of film, quickly and without much thought, will not necessarily result in better pictures, just more pictures. A more contemplative approach, regardless of how much film is run through the camera, may well lead to higher quality pictures from the POV of framing, content, and subject matter. When I mentioned how much more film I was able to shoot with the MX I was talking about how confortable I feel with that camera. I certainly do a lot of editing in camera, sometimes more then I should I think. I don't think it is about taking a lot of pictures without thinking. It's just that the more confortable I am with a camera, the less I have to think about it, and the more pictures I shoot. FWIW, the ratio of good pictures was about the same, although the focus was better on the set taken with the Pentax. (I say good pictures, yet probably there wasn't any real keeper in all the pictures I took that day) j -- --- Juan J.

Re: Cheating (Yashica Electro 35 - battery?)
Frank or Ken, I just went and dug out my Dad's old camera and flash. The Yashica Electro 35 GS with Rollie E17C flash plus battery was $143.30 CDN in 1973. I think I will give it a try. I have the flash charging now. The manual says the battery for the Yashica was a 5.6v mercury battery, Mallory PX32 or Eveready E164. What battery did you use?

Re: Cheating (Yashica Electro 35 - battery?)
And to think I paid about $14 or $15 US on eBay - which seems to be the going price. A great value, I think. Mine came without a battery, and I couldn't find one locally. I finally ended up getting one here: http://www.photobattery.com/PX32.html Got it in the mail in less than a week, and it works just fine. You should pick one up and give the camera a try. I think you'll be pleased with its results. regards, frank Dave Maki wrote: Frank or Ken, I just went and dug out my Dad's old camera and flash.
