FilmSpooler

Following a great week up in Redmond and picking up the prints from my first photo exhibit, I went to the Lomography Store-LA  for the tail-end of its weekend sample sale.

Picked up a few goodies for myself and some t-shirts for my wife.

Camera-wise, I got the gold colored Pop9 and a second SuperSampler Dalek edition toy cam for starters and more film for future projects.

I’m still figuring out how I’m going to use the Pop9.  Maybe I’ll add some gels to the lenses or something.

For the SuperSampler, I’m definitely going to try a permanent modification.  I’m modifying the mask inside the camera and plan to convert it from four chambers to two.  This can be done by snipping away the correct two chamber walls in the mask.  That way, you’ll get two lenses exposing into each of the two remaining chambers.  I saw some of Satomi’s pics in a demo once and was really impressed with the results she got by modifying her SuperSampler.

So, along with the two new toy cams, I got several rolls of Fuji Astia 100F (120), Kentmere 100, Fuji Superia CZ 800 and Fuji Velvia 100 (all 35mm).  Since I picked up some vintage cams on eBay over the weekend, I’ll be using this film on the new (old) equiptment as they come in.  Each roll ranged between $2.50 to $3 each, so it was a pretty decent deal in the end…
