Tales on Film

A very nice video made by James Looker, a photographer from Australia. It’s a short bio of himself but viewed from the point of the camera.

The Agfa Rapid ISO I is a camera as simple as it gets. The Agfa Iso Rapid I sports a 42.5mm lens with a fixed aperture of 8.5 and a shutter capable of two times: 1/40 second for clouded weather and flash an 1/60 second for sunny weather. It’s very small, light but still pretty sturdy. It produces square photos on 35mm film in an agfa rapid cassette. The agfa rapid system cartrigdes aren’t sold anymore, but we have an tutorial on the website for putting regular 35mm in agfa rapid cassettes.

Because of it’s fixed focus, you can only get sharp pictures if you keep at least a distance of 1,8 meter, which is pretty far. It’s an ideal camera to take with you on summer trips during the daytime. Because of it’s square format it gives you a different look, which is fun. There isn’t much more I can say about it, except they are dirt cheap on flea markets here in Belgium

If going out on the streets of Hong Kong and mainland China with a full blown Mamiya 7 and Metz flash isn’t crazy enough, photographer ERIC also chews through medium format film as if it were candy. He made a behind the scenes movie about his street photography, enjoy
