hey guys i have a question

Post by Tarsier »

what are some sweet old school cameras that can produce the old boccy feel?

i have a nice old one from the 70s but the picture quality is just too good. doesn't do old school worth a darn.

thanks !

Polariod for sure. Ask your parents if they or any of their friends have an old one. They used to be incredibly popular in the 80s and early 90s.

I got a Holga, but get it from china via ebay, loads cheaper, places caught on to the craze and charge ridiculous amounts for what is practically a toy

Cheers for the tip - I've got a Fisheye2 but fancy a Holga or Diana too.

buy this ( i have 2 of them and they are awesome little cameras, but hard to find someone to develop them) http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Fisher-Pric ... tsupported

it will produce pictures like the ones I took with it:

Holgas are cool, but EVERYONE uses them now. Not saying that YOU shouldn't, I just love finding new little vintage cameras such as the one above or even a 1945 Kodak Brownie Camera. A lot of people can not get them developed anymore, you have to send away for your pics, as do I.
