Johnny Martyr's Five Favorite Cameras

by Johnny Martyr All the coolest film photography and camera bloggers are posting their “Five Dead Hand Cameras” – five cameras we’d have to pry from their cold dead hands, as the saying goes. One camera for each finger (that’s a hell of a grip!). I don’t mind riding these guys coattails and talking a little bit about my five favorite film cameras. For those of you who’ve been following my…

Because of the demise of my Bronica, I got out my trusty Nikon 35mm. It is such a joy to shoot with. I was experimenting with various depths of field setting in my back yart.

a few years ago my uncle gave me his nikon fm2n, because i expressed an interest in analog photography, but for some reason i felt so daunted by actually learning how it works and then to use it (i'm stupid, dear reader) but today i thought to myself 'what the hell, lets try it' and well. turns out if you put your mind to something you figure it out

My newest camera, a mint fm2n to shoot film again. This mint body and 50mm f1.8 lens came from Japan thanks to Bellamy Hunt (Japan Camera Hunter) and now it comes with me everywhere with its lovely wrist strap thanks to Gordy. As an airline pilot, it will certainly see some miles with me.

New pics from Nikon FM2n. Wanted to see what a dead camellia would look like in BW. Not particularly good. Forgot how much I like the black line frame.

Film & Night

It's intriguing how life makes us revisit lessons we thought we had learnt. My recent plunge back into film photography and my newfound appreciation for the Nikon F5's robustness was marred only by its weight. This beautiful but bulky beast tipped the scales at a back-breaking 2kg with my heaviest lens, often making me leave it behind in favor of my DSLR. That's when the FM2N entered my life.

This nimble camera, weighing a featherlight 300g, was an absolute joy to work with. It may have been restricted to a 50mm 1.4 lens, but the lightness of the setup filled me with a renewed sense of vigor. However, there was a downside: with a fixed film ISO, I was confined to daytime photography or risked grainy, unusable photos. Considering my work schedule is skewed to the night, I found myself leaning back on my trusty DSLR again. But life had a surprise up its sleeve.

Last evening, while rummaging through my luggage, I discovered a pair of forgotten companions - two flashes! My first instinct was to pair the compact SB400 with the FM2N, but alas, their electronic incompatibility was a setback. The alternative was the hulking SB600. A check with some online forums confirmed it could work with the FM2N. With a shrug and a spark of adventurous spirit, I decided to give it a shot.

Suddenly, I was thrust back into the world of manually setting up a flash. This was a task I had long abandoned in favor of built-in flash and auto modes on my digital gear. With my FM2N mounted with the SB600, I was suddenly the center of attention, drawing curious gazes from people around me. It felt just like the early days with the Zenith TTL and its quirky Soviet flash.

It was back to the basics for me, reading the scene, adjusting the settings, and dealing with the flash's imposing presence. Each captured moment was a balance between the right exposure, perfect timing, and managing not to startle anyone in my vicinity. This was not what I had signed up for, but here I was, trying to master the flash all over again, this time with an old film camera and a more seasoned perspective.

Night photography with film isn't as simple as cranking up the ISO on a DSLR, but this rediscovered tool promised a new horizon of possibilities. My journey with film, flashes, and learning to shoot in the dark is far from over, but with each click and flash, I can see myself getting closer to perfecting the art. From the silent streets of Bali to the vibrant scenes of everyday life, my FM2N, armed with the SB600 flash, is ready to capture it all in its grainy glory.

Stay tuned for the results of this enlightening adventure. Let's hope the images speak louder than the flash itself!
