    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Blue Moon Camera in Portland Oregon is gearing up to produce Minox film. They gave me a pre-production cartridge to try out when I picked up several rolls of Minox film I drppoed off for processing. Google Blue Moon Camera and Machine. PS love your Speed Graphic P51. I also love all the other...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    I may be wanting to pick your brain once I get ready to experiment with this developing tank. No sense in re-inventing the wheel. I can probably cobble up a film cutter, my cousin who introduced me to Minox cameras back in 1972 had made one. How do you replicate the ends of the filmstrip? I...

    Show us your motorcycles!

    The headlamp casquette is a modern part from India. I also own a 1957 RE Indian with the same headlamp, and always thought that would look good on a customized Enfield. The fact that Enfields are still being made in India is a godsend to us owners of old British built Enfields. Most of the...

    Show us your motorcycles!

    Last time I visited this thread, I posted a picture of my 1965 BMW R69S. Here's a bike I've had since I was 22 years old. My 1966 Royal Enfield Interceptor 750. During the early '60's it was the most powerful production motorcycle from England (the Vincent Black Shadow had been out of production...

    My Minox stuff... Haven't touched this junk in years, but my new (to me) Minox B came in today, so I dug around my office and found all my old Minox stuff. Including my old Minox B which I thought had been in a camera bag which was stolen about 15 years ago. So what I found (clockwise from...

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    They seem to be concentrating on those miniature digital versions of "classic" cameras. They remind me of the tiny cameras they used to sell from coupons in the back of comic books (circa late-1950's), only nicer.

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Looks like they came out with a reasonably good digital mini-camera of their own. (although I have doubts that it's really made by Minox) Problem is that the vendors I checked say "out of stock", even though it's still shown on Minox's website.

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Too late! (well, almost) After seeing Doctor Strange's Minox, I got to wondering what they're going for on ebay these days. Last time I checked several years ago, they were listed "Buy It Now" for $300+, so I decided not to bother. And assumed they'd just keep going up from there. Turns out...

    I buy the film from a local camera store. Most camera stores should have 120 roll film on hand in various speeds, both B&W and color. You can also buy it from many online sources.

    Photos from my Ziess-Ikon Ikonta B Photos taken in Portland, Oregon 3/29/2014 Not bad for a 75 year old camera that hasn't been used in at least 50 years!

    I had a Minox B for years. Always had a camera in my pocket in those days. It was stolen, and the only replacement I could find was a Minox C, which just isn't the same with that extra long case.

    The Vintage Camera Club Thread

    Been playing around with this thing the last few days. Fired off two rolls of ASA 400 film and left them for negative only processing. Near as I can tell there are no light leaks, the aperture and shutter speed settings seem to work, so we'll see. This camera belonged to my father, who must...

    Adventures on your vintage motorcycle!

    Oops, this looks like a drive by posting, with me ignoring 4 month old comments. The magneto coil packed in. The only spare we had on hand was an old one that was also defective. Rescuing the downed bike was a whole story unto itself, involving a drunken cowboy with a jeep and a trailer, some...

    And Ode to the British Service Revolver

    Let's see a picture of it! I'm a fan of .45 LC revolvers.

    And Ode to the British Service Revolver

    This probably isn't the place for a discussion like this, but I have to ask; how does your contention about penetration being more important than impact jibe with the generally accepted wisdom about "stopping power" which rates the .45 ACP as greatly superior to the 9mm Parabellum, even though...

    Show us your Guns!

    Comfortable? I've only shot a couple of magazines full through mine. The upper rear edge of the left-hand grip next to the magazine release tended to bite the web of my thumb with each shot. It didn't recoil very hard, but the pressure applied at that small point made it less than comfortable to...

    And Ode to the British Service Revolver

    As a fan of the single action Colt revolvers, I have to respectfully disagree. While it's an excellent revolver, as a weapon, it leaves a bit to be desired compared to the 455 Service revolver. Being .45 caliber revolvers, neither should hold an upper hand over the other in a stopping power...

    I wish this was my car, but... I just remembered this picture while I was looking on my photobucket account for some pictures to post in another thead. It was taken in front of Tully's Restaurant in Oakland, Oregon (20 miles North of Roseburg on I-5). It's a genuine Boattail Speedster that...
