Could you give me feedback please? I'd like to know if I'm headed the right way. I feel some of these are looking good. Which ones do you like and why?

How to diagnose a CdS cell?

Just got a ChinonFlex TTL, everything seems to work but the cell readings are erratic. How to know if the cell is dead or if this is a wiring issue?

Chinonflex TTL

Is this a good camera?

Seems to work fine, shutter speeds and all. Got it at the flea market today, found it beautiful.

Am I getting better?

Hi, I tried to apply tips I got from this sub. Are my compositions getting better? I also tried to experiment with color curves and edited my pictures lighter than before. I like the second one because of the pop of red that guides the eye. Also like the fourth one for the minimalist effect. What do you think?

Ricoh KR-5 Super

Hi, just got this one for 5€ on a flea market today. Lightmeter works, the shutter releases but the shutter speed dial is stuck on 1/125 (flash sync speed) and mirror gets stuck up when shooting the camera pointed straight ahead, have to shake it to release it back down. Is this a common issue ?

I heard this camera was good, especially because of the lens that's quite sharp, so I'd like to repair it if possible.

Konica C35EF

Got this one at a very good deal, was listed as broken by the seller. Gave it some love, a deep clean and new black yarn light seals and it works like brand new!

What do you think about this one, heard it was quite sharp. I find it pleasing to use, but quite tricky to nail focus in low light and wide apertures.

How do you find the mirror composition?

Hi! People on this sub told me I should experiment with common composition techniques to improve, as I'm new to the hobby. What do you think of this one? What other composition techniques should I experiment with? (Feels like I improve better when given homework, sort of lol)

Do you find that composition interesting?

Hi, I'd like feedback about the composition and editing of this shot. Do you find it correct?

Pentax Spotmatic

Inherited it from a distant relative from another country, I'm amazed at how it is still working perfectly fine ! Definitely my favorite film camera, it is such a pleasure to use, especially with the Super Takumar 55mm. Asahi Pentax engineers knew what they were doing back then !
