A Mamiya NC1000 in the Garden
I’ve been going through my pile of old cameras and bits with a view to having a clear out when I came across this old thing from 1978. It’s a Mamiya NC1000 which I bought for under a tenner in a previous burst of camera buying. I suspect it’s not even worth that now. It is armed with your standard 50mm lens as done by Mamiya-Sekor.
I was never very sure how to operate it manually as the meter only seems to function when it is in AE mode. The manual is here if you want to check it out. It had a film in so I’d decided to shoot the rest of the roll and see what I had. I set it to its AE mode which is shutter priority and let it do its thing . Its quite a well made camera if a bit of an oddity.
It turned out I had Ilford FP4 on the roll which I processed in my new Adonal(just Rodinal under another name). Nothing very exciting but the camera performed fine. I Selenium toned the shots in Lightroom and here they are below.
