Anyone ever play around with them? My friend and I raided a Goodwill a year or so ago and came out with a couple of cameras for under $10. We then went to the RiteAid, got some cheap film, and shot pictures at Baltimore's Fort McHenry. Man, talk about a fun afternoon! We ended up getting the development done at a Walmart (where else?) and looked at our masterpieces while eating at the Diner. Here's some results, all unedited, corrected, or anything else. What you see is what we got. it wasn't great photography, but it was great fun!
My camera that I picked up for $4 was a Vivitar "Focus Free" model, complete with a plastic body and matching plastic lens. No ISO adjustments, just point, shoot, and pray. Anyone else out there done anything like this? |

When I still worked at a lab (until just under a year ago) and did all the film processing it was easy to do stuff like that, shoot it process it and scan it.
Long out of date E-6 process film could be cross processed in C-41 and still yield a usable image but if the same film was run on the E-6 line it would be useless due to age fog. |

I will keep this in mind. Could be fun sometime. I used some nasty black and white from the drugstore that could be ran through a c-41 machine. I think that explains the weird black and white I got. |
