Something about the way this camera eats photons, I just love it. It's really messing with me, scrambling my brain. In a good way. I promise I'm going to stop talking about it.

I fully agree and I don’t want to be too negative. I am just mildly annoyed we are treading over Lomo ground. I’ll buy a roll in support of it, I just wish it was something more interesting.

If they make purple next I’m gonna scream. The 10 people who love Lomo turquoise are surely excited about this.

I guess this account is turning into "Chris shoots a 20 year old DSLR at 1/800 out of a moving car" but hey, don't worry, I'm sure next week I'll be doing cyanotypes or some other ridiculous thing. Anyways, these are straight jpgs, no raws. Canon 5D, of course.

Spring is coming, Birmingham, Alabama. 5D Classic, of course. I own so many great cameras and haven't touched any of them all week. Do I need other cameras? I might not.

This is good to know! Well I highly suggest a 5D and a cheap 50mm. Cheap fun.

The homeless guy I grew up with who posts on Facebook is still sticking by his man Trump. He’s the only one I see posting through it. Everyone else has the shame to shut up.

HEY! I meant to reply to you. You were the one who tipped me off that it was out on here. THANK YOU

Yeah I have so much more Nikon glass. I am thinking of a d200 or 700 next

oops more pics with the 5D. I really like this camera.

It’s the dynamic range. It sucks. In the absolute best way possible.

Here's some pictures of one of my favorite buildings, this time with the 5D Classic. This camera, man. It's really messing with me. I think I can say that I'm as happy with these as I would be if they were film. It's not film, but its definitely different than modern digital and I love it.

Yall are all way too kind. I like the one in the sunset, the rest are ass.

Shoot 4x5 film they said. Buy expired film, it will always work and never ever be trash.

Update, I have to re-glue the mirror back on, this camera is a jalopy.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

update: today I glued the fuckin mirror back on this camera, it eats AA batteries like they are skittles but... goddamn I love it.

27.02.2026 01:55 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

im trying to decide if I can watch this shit or not

25.02.2026 02:17 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Unfortunately I have ruled out the batteries because I have the AA insert and it does the same thing. So it's either the battery grip or the camera itself. I just ordered a new battery door so HOPEFULLY it's the grip thats causing trouble and not the body. UGH.

Well, shit. This camera will not hold a charge, I get about 20 pics or so before BOTH batteries die in the grip. Are you telling me this camera from 2005 is old and broken?????? sigh yes probably.

25.02.2026 00:57 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

Agree. And it’s only 12 megapixels so it’s got fat pixels? I don’t know, nothing is super sharp and I didn’t realize how great that would be. It feels good. I am never predisposed to believe the hype but I kinda get it.

2005 called and said they want their camera back and I told them to fuck off its the future and for 150 space bucks I can get a 5D Classic. Youtube says it's got that film juice in the colors, and damnit, it does. It looks good as hell. She slow, tho.

I still think about it, 10 years later. It seems like, just way too much water. Like it should run out. something above it should be empty.
