Missed something on that exchange...!
These are great Bob. What's really interesting is that
these are all on Fuji 100, but there's a distinctive
colour cast for each of the cameras (it seems to me).
Does it appear that way to anyone else?
One thing though - on the first (river) shot with the
Konica, perhaps you should have put the Mamiya and
the Nikon down first as they seem to have weighed
you down to the left!!!
Enjoyed these - Regards - John

Nice weekend's photography, Bob. You've got some lovely photogenic scenery in your neck of the woods. Did you carry all three cameras around with you and shoot off three rolls? It must be very tempting to keep on shooting roll after roll in that environment. I love the Nikon picture of the black, or dark grey, rocks, looks like an ancient prehistoric animal lying down with its head in the water. I might take a couple, or more rarely three, cameras out for the day but I tend to rewind the film after about 10 shots and change it to another camera leaving one blank frame to avoid overlap. That way I try three cameras with just one film. I always load 36 exposure rolls, but I don't think I'd take 108 pictures on one outing. I don't get many opportunities for a day's photography these days, so I say I'm enjoying three cameras on the same day, as well as conserving film and cutting processing costs, and I don't have to wait days and days to use the films up and see the results, but my son John who often comes with me says that's just an excuse for being a penny-pinching old cheapskate!  . Next time he says that he can buy his own cup of tea and sandwich ;D. I'm still waiting for a chance to try out the ST 605 but it's been typical late autumn weather here, grey overcast with drizzly rain and flat uninteresting lighting. Time was when I would take a camera out in any weather, but these days I'm too fond of being warm and dry. Must be getting old !! . John: yes, I also noticed the difference in colour between the shots on Bob's three cameras, the Konica shots look decidedly warmer , but maybe it was just a change in the lighting? Happy shooting!

Yes I did carry all three with me and shoot off 3 rolls.
I usually have one in my hand and 2 in a bag.......so John--they aren't weighing me to one side-- ;D
I would love to know the exact procedure, Peter, that you follow to use one roll on 3 different cameras. I have often thought I might like to do that...but was not confident enough that I could do it without messing it up.
Next time your son should not only pay for his own tea and sandwich but yours too..... ;D
I hope you get a chance to use your ST 605 soon.....love to hear your impressions.
John and Peter, yeah the colors are different...and the Konica always seems to warmer and usually slightly darker. Don't know if that is a product of their lenses or Konica's exposure?
be well......have fun
Bob

Quite easy really, Bob. When I load a roll I take it onto the take-up spool until two perforations (on each side) have just cleared the sprockets. I usually do this by pushing the take up spool round by hand. Then wind back the rewind knob till the film's taut, close the back and wind on to No. 1, watching the rewind knob to make sure it's going round. When I want to put the film in another camera I rewind, being very careful to stop before the end disappears into the cassette - if you take it gently you can feel a lack or resistance when it comes off the take up spool.
Then I load it into the next camera the same way and, at the smallest aperture and with the lens cap on, wind on till I get to the number of pictures I've taken, wind on twice to leave a blank frame ( used to wind on three times to make sure of a gap but I find two is enough, leaving one gap). This allows for slightly different widths of camera bodies.
Then carry on shooting with the next camera and repeat. I VERY seldom get anything overlapping, but I always ask for 'process only and don't cut it up', just in case they make a boo-boo of cutting any uneven spacing.
I cut it up at home and scan in the pics I want to keep. I usually shoot 11 pics each if I'm working with three cameras, or 17 pics each if I'm working with two. That gives me two six-frame and one five-frame strip from each camera if I'm using two cameras, or one six-frame and one five-frame strip from each if I'm using three. These fit nicely in my scanner's frame. Quite simple really.
Happy film swapping,
Peter
