A Passionate Film Project (And Cool Prizes Too)
Brian Auer has a passion - old skool film photography. His passion, as most passions are, is contagious. If you have not caught the Film virus yet, Brian came up with a project to help you get some film inspiration going.
The $50 Film Camera is one of those projects that is real easy to get involved in. all you have to do is shoot some rolls of film with a film camera of under 50$, post your pictures, and a camera review and you are in. (Don't forget to submit your review link).
Although the sheer experience of shooting film and writing a review is a prize of it's own, Brian got two awesome sponsors for this project: Ilford (Yep, the guys who make those sweet Black & White films) and Lomography (Yep, the guys behind the action sampler which I like so much) - So the winner will receive a nifty (as in fifties slang nifty) Diana+ Lomo camera and a bunch of Ilford Black & White films to go along with his brand new camera.
Brian has asked me to co-judge this contest (along with Jim Talkinton), and by this "ruined" my submission. So, just for funzies, I am posting an image taken with my Lomo Action Sampler, just one year ago. Please forgive the fuzziness.

You can still play!
Well shucks Udi... you can still participate in the project! I'll be doing one too! We just won't be eligible for the prize package.
And thanks for the plug on the project!
But of course I will
I would not have it any other way. film is already at the shop.
I'll join
Nice :) I'm going to try and participate, I hope. Took a couple of Tri-X rolls in town yesterday.
But when people start to look for old cameras I hope they realize how much stuff out there is still usable on DSLRs. Old lenses can be so fun sometimes. I've sold off most of my autofocus-lenses and baught some great old ones, most between $10-$20. Zeiss, Pentax, Yashica, Helios, Pentacon - there's so much to choose from if you get an adapter or two! And the quality is sometimes soooo good, but it only works in manual mode and turning the focus-ring ;)
Old lenses
Hi Mattias,
How do you fit them old lenses on a digital camera?
