I used to shoot a fair amount of black & white and color reversal (slide) for a hobbyist, but when I left the Army in 1993, I lost my access to a dark room and gave up for a while. Of course, I still shot color negative and later digital, but really just travel and family photos. I'm just getting back to it and hoping to shortly start shooting medium format color reversal and B&W. I just picked up an old Argus Argoflex E on eBay - it needs a little work though; and I purchased a Yashicamat 12 that I hope to have soon. I'm also hoping to get a decent old 35mm rangefinder (RF) camera, such as a Yashica Electro 35GSN, or maybe just dig out my old Chinon 35EE with which I shot all my Fujichrome in Korea in 1989-1990 and most of my color negative before that.

I've done quite a bit of research lately, so for now, here are some links that I've found particularly useful:

Link Farm

Useful Stores

  • Amazon
  • eBay
  • KEH Used Cameras
  • Adorama Ken Rockwell recommends them but they don't have much in the way of film cameras, they do have film however - possibly cheaper than Amazon.

Information sites

Lots of great info on these sites (many of these people are artists too but the links here are more for knowledge than inspiration):

Miscellaneous

  • [4] table of Argoflex models

Blogs and Fora
