Revolog films what are they?

Yes yes treated films to get funky lomo effects. But what are they originallly.. Lets find out...

Texture. Designed to add a bubble effect on the film. Its  €7 per 12 exposure roll. Code on the film 013981 - Ferrania Colour film.

Lazer - Designed to create blue/ green lines through the picture. Randomly. €7 for 36 exposure.. better value depending of course on what you are after Code 014034 Another Ferrania film.

Volvox - Green sprinkles and dots. you get a choice of 12 exposures €7 or 36 exposures €8.50 same code as Lazer so same film.

Teslar 1 - Blue flash effects. €7 for 12 exposures Same code as Texture.
Teslar 2 - Redish flashes €7 for 12 exposures. Same code as Texture.

Rasp - coloured lines through the film €7 for 36 exposures
Kolor - Multi colours appearing randomly in the photos. €8.50 per 36
600NM - Pictures with a slightly blueish, greenish to reddish effect  €8.50 for 36 exposures
450NM - Colour changes from blue/violet to yellow/green €8.50 for 36 exposures all these have the code same as for Lazer.




Mind you these are boutique films. They have treated these films to give you the special effects and I have yet to run them through a camera. I am in no way judging the product just interested in what the base film was.

I will have some fun with these if I can find the time to play. The 12 exposures will be first as I like short films hence my long for medium format.  BUT of course it costs the same to develop whether you do it at home or in the lab, there is no cost difference and hence, 12 is actually more expensive.

In other news A green werra turned up. It has a stiff shutter and this annoys me as it was advertised as working.

I was inspired to find out

About my canon A-1s today . I was sitting my car, 4 hours before a store I needed was opening, when I dug out the a-1 that has been in the boot and go for a wander. I found it was loaded with Kodak Tmax 3600 and so that's what I Payed with. I tried to think in b&w remembering it would be a grainy film. I meandered around Rushcutters bay park when I was inspired to find out when my camera was made. I also have a sister camera but that is loaded with film currently so this will have to wait.
Canon a-1 with damaged AV guard ( my bring everywhere camera)
Serial number 1577350 - no help there...
Code V946F aha..
V Is canon's code for 1981 and the a-1's dropped the 0 on the months so this camera was built in September 1981. AND as it ends in F it was built in the Fukushima plant.
It's sister has a serial number of 2061660, it's code is TBA but I am guessing it is later 1981-3 possibly
The Lens on both cameras are 50mm. I did buy a zoom lens for my son to use but that is not with me ATM..
Lens 1- 50mm f/1.8 black mount. Range f/1,8 to f/22 and frankly the better of the two ...(IMO)
Code X1014 - X being canon for 1983 this lens was built October 1983 happy birthday lens!! You are 28years old this month...
Lens 2 50mm f1/8 silver twist mount. Range f/1.8 to f/16 S.C. Which just means special coating.
Code P602- P is 1975!!!! S this one was built June 1975 and hence is not built for the a-1, it's an AE-1 lens.. Cool. So this one is 36 years old and still working as the day it was built.
Lens 3 35mm f/3.5 Silver twist mount S.C. Range f/3.5 to f/22
Code R800 - R is 1977 so built August 1977
Lens 4 75-200mm Zoom Lens. Bought from PhotoReisel, the only one of my collection that I bough retail. Range f/4.5 to f/22
Code Y802- Y being 1984 making it my NEWEST lens :-)  Built august 1984. I paid a heap for it as it has a marco function..
Lens 5 35-70mm Macro Lens. Black Mount. Range f/3.5 to f/22.
Code X301. X=1983 Built March 1983 :-) This one came with a T50.

USA T50 has a code of HC1133.. This is Puzzling.. I dont' know what to make of the double letter.
So the code started from 1960 with A and worked its way to Z in 1985 where it started again in 1986 with A.
A 1960.    N 1973
B 1961.    O 1974
C 1962.    P 1975
D 1963.    Q 1976
E 1964.    R 1977
F 1965.    S 1978
G 1966.    T 1979
H 1967.    U 1980
I 1968.    V 1981
J 1969.    W 1982
K 1970.    X 1983
L 1971.    Y 1984
M 1972.   Z 1985
And repeat from 1986 onwards.

fun with the Big shot

Brought the Big Shot to work. I thought it would be fun to take a few shots.  It was for three people but when I got to Peta, the flash cube I had brought ceased to work. Grr I still had a flash left. Stupid cube. I didn't bring another one as I only have three cubes left.


Still a bit of giggles.

David hamed it up early in the week
