Seven Rolls in Seven Days ... THE RULES.

[Jani_from_Finland]

This sounds like an interesting idea, i am going to try it if i can. If i fail then i'll just let it be. We have some large sail cruise ships coming to our port in the next 2 weeks, hopefully i get some good shots then =DD

Sounds like fun. It'll give me a chance to put my newly acquired Jupiter 8 through its paces.

Shouldn't be all that much of a change from business as usual...so im in.

Ilford HP5 Plus

Cameras chosen for age range with roughly contemporary lenses:

Leica M2 Rapidwinder Summilux 50mm f1.4
Leica M6 Rapidwinder Summicrom 35mm f2 (IV)
Ilford Advocate Dallmeyer 35mm f3.5
Alpa Reflex Mod.7 Kern Switar f1.8 (so that's 3 rangefinders)
Nikon F2 Plain prism Black 35mm f2 Nikkor O (Pre AI)
Nikon F4 35-70mm AFD f2.8
Nikon F100 Nikkor AFD 50mm f1.8

Even better most have films in to finish of first, good job you can start the week anytime. Looking forward to it.

Now that's a nice pile of equipment! Should be a fun week for you mixing everything together.

My plan is to stick with my rangefinder (Zeiss Ikon) and maybe just one lens. Not sure about the film, but I might limit myself to just one so the seven days has a consistent feel.

.

Other than the Leicas very inexpensive these days as a bonus.

But I get to fret over which camera with which film each day

[Koni Kowa]

Exciting idea. I'm in too... probably with one film (Agfa APX 100) and one camera (Konica IIIM)...
That's what I would like to do for two months anyway.

I'm going to try to vary the film format a bit day to day to keep it interesting. I'm planning on shooting 35mm, 120, 110 & APS. Too bad I don't have a working Polaroid or some 828 film for my Bantam Special! I wonder if anyone is breaking out a Minox?

[anjoca76]

This will be a hard challenge for me--some days I shoot multiple rolls, and other days barely a frame or two--but I think that's all the more reason to give it a try. It will force me to shoot on days when I may not ordinarily do so. I'm in.

july is almost upon us. i have multiple family related trips to make, so opportunities should be abundant if i choose the right 7-day span. gotta get some more BW film ...

[print44]

I keep thinking about whether I should try to theme-up a little, keep it random as I usually do, or go the other way and try to work outside my comfort zone - ie go up to strangers in the street and ask to take their picture. The temptation to go for the latter is strong - though I know the quality of the product would suffer. But it seems maybe thats the point?

[unixrevolution]

I'm in!

I've been meaning to determinedly run a variety of BW emulsions through my 645 for the purposes of comparison, so this way I can kill two stones.

[TXForester]

There is no contest committee, exif data won't be checked on RAW files for excessive manipulation.

That brings up a question. Since the film or prints will have to be scanned to upload, then what is allowed in the way of manipulation? I have been known to "remove" items from a file (including scanned negs). Usually it is dust from scanned film, but could include something that takes away from the photo, but could not be worked around in the composition.

Can we use any tools/techniques from modern photo software or limited what we can be done in the darkroom (or digital equivalent)?

[buzzardkid]

Since it's not a contest I suppose anyone can proceed as desired and we can let common sense and general good taste decide after upload.

Kind of a 'bring your own ethics' picnic...

..I deeply regret selling that combination! My F100 served me very well.
