All types of 127 film format* are welcome, whether the film began its existence as 127, or you used 35mm film or Instax film in a 127 camera, or you respooled 46mm film, or you cut down 120 film to 127 size ... or maybe you have a technique that I don't know about yet - if so, please tell me so I can share it with others who love this format (with full credit to you, of course - perhaps you'd like to write an article for 127 Film Photography about it!). Photos made on 127 film in a different size camera are welcome too.

 

127 Film Photography will publish all photos received (as long as they are in 127 format and do not contain images of nudity, violence, or exploitation).

I look forward to seeing your 127 Day photos! 

 

 

*Sorry, digital photos in an aspect ratio similar to 127 film  do NOT qualify (nor do any other digital photos or photos using AI). 

Yashica 44 repair?

 Chuck Katz writes:

I just found a Yashica 44 (first version) in a friend’s closet.  It has been sitting for over 50 years.  It appears in beautiful cosmetic condition and the shutter speeds seem accurate enough.  However, the film advance crank is frozen and unable to move.  Has anyone experienced this and if repair is in order can you recommend someone to work on this camera?   Thank you very much.

 

Please respond in the comments area. Thanks in advance for helping a fellow 127 enthusiast.
