I'm a beginner, but I like how some of these turned out. Taken in New York when I was there last week.
Lumix GX1:

and an iPhone shot from when I didn't have my camera that turned out really good (is that breaking some unspoken rules? haha)

No rules about Equipment. Do whatever you like and geht inspired by others.

whats with the tumblr, by the way?

played with a flash in my hand and long exposure, trying to learn some new stuff. wanted to get this half-visible night-shot style, getting there slowly.

kinda rare to find one xpan/fuji tx1 from finland...how did you buy yours? I don't really trust ebay on big purchases but maybe I have to.

^ Japan Camera Hunter has one up for $~~1500~~1600 at the moment. At least through him you can have some semblance of peace of mind.

Let's get this started. Everyone has been posting some great stuff, so we might as well be putting it toward something. Not that a tumblr page is exactly something..but still.

That photo is sick, by the way, Hercules.

I started up the Tumblr.

I figure it would make the most sense for everyone to have access to the account so you can log in and post photos whenever you want. Just give yourself credit in the caption of the photo. Spread it around!

First want to say you guys are all amazing. Im looking to buy a new film camera. I have one that was my moms that she wasn't using anymore but its pretty shitty. Any suggestions? Also trying to keep it relatively cheap, stuck on that college student budget.

Nikon ae-1. cheap and good if you learn the basics

* I mean canon ae-1 of course

Do you mean Canon AE-1?

it's hard to go wrong with basic 35mm slrs.
Canon AE1, Pentax k1000, Olympus OM1 or OM2, any of the Nikon SLR's (fe2, fm2, etc), will serve you just fine.

if you're not sure if photography is your thing or not yet, check out the Olympus Stylus Epic. It's a durable, sharp, fast point and shoot 35mm camera. It's pretty much all I use anymore. Allows me to think less about settings and more about subject matter when I shoot. Make sure to get the fixed lens 2.8 aperture one though not the zoom one. Check out my flickr, most of the shots were taken with the stylus epic.

I use an AE1, it's the camera I learned on and I haven't found another camera I like as much.

whats the "plan" with following guys and so on? basically follow every tumblr out there to reach maximum exposure-whore levels or stay classy and underground?

mmm, i feel like following other tumblrs would clutter up the feed too much, it's easier to manage if it's just stuff we post.
but it doesn't matter to me really

got it from german ebay, like most of my cameras. you can try to purchase it from japan too.

vitunvesa · « **Reply #4338 on:** December 19, 2013, 08:27:45 AM »

You gotta pay the customs fee when you order/buy something from non-EU area. Otherwise I would have ordered one long ago...gotta try ebay.de

Matze · « **Reply #4339 on:** December 19, 2013, 09:56:37 AM »

as far as I know the customs for analog cameras are about 4.2% ... for a 1100 Euro camera it's just 46 Euro more

Sick thanks, probably going with the AE1. I'm definitely into photography, just getting started with film, but your photos with that Olympus are super sick might have to look into that too.

I need to check that out 'cause I've always thought I have to pay VAT (24%)
