Christmas Cameras

So as everyone knows what a mad camera collector and user I am, this Christmas I managed to add 3 more beauties to my collection :)


The first one I got was the Kodak Vollenda 620, or the really old looking one if you want the technical name ;)

It takes 620 film, which doesn't exist anymore, but 120 film is practically the same thing, which does exist. All I need as another 620 spool and I can respool some 120 and give this camera a try out !


Next I got a Ricoh KR-5 Super II given to me by a friend. It looks brand new, it's crazy. Going to get batteries for it later in the week and give it a burl. It's a 35mm.


And last but not least, and a totally freaky coincidence, an aunt found her old(ish) Ricoh KR-10 that she took away to ... England? Somewhere anyway lol. The camera has what looks to be a K-mount, which is fantastic but also a bit funny at the same time. A K-mount is a type of Pentax mount (way the lens clips to the camera, a bit like a key), so the lenses work with all my pentax's as well !


Stay tuned for a catch up of many, many rolls of film that I haven't had the time to scan until.. well, tonight or something lol.
