Count me in! I'm in Melbourne, Australia and happy to ship it wherever, and also happy to throw in a roll of film for the next person too.

I remember getting that nasty surprise from customs when I ordered a Mamiya 645 from KEH while living in Scotland, duties ended up being nearly half what I paid for the camera. Thankfully we have the $1000 duties threshold for imports in Australia before you get charged (otherwise it'd be impossible to buy anything here at a reasonable price).

What are we missing about this shot? Besides that they're playing some game to which the plebs are not privy.

Thats probably my favourite of the shots just posted, but it's pretty common game typically popular amoung the older set in Commonwealth countries and also young people who want to drink cheap booze during the Summer in Australia.

Send to the Far South East, I'll shoot the gently caress out of it, and I'm sure all the other goons in SE Asia/Australasia would too.

Just to update everyone, there's been a little issue with getting the camera from the Melbourne Airport to my house from Japan (thanks VomitOnLino!), but I've called the actually quite helpful Australia Post and they're going to resend it out this week. Hopefully I'll be able to get it in time to shoot some of the action around the city with the Aussie Rules Football grand final this weekend.

Also, any Aussies out their who want the camera after me get in touch! tdjames82 at the mail that starts with a g

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what you capture. Local footy's finished here, so there's not much going on :(

Well I won't be capturing any of the game, I won't be getting a ticket this year. But I'll hopefully get some of the colour before and after around Melbourne, maybe get the Grand Final parade on Friday.

The mess-up with the camera has been sorted and I'll pick it up tomorrow on the way to work.

I've now shot a couple rolls around town, and probably will shoot another on the weekend, so NEXT WEEK I want it pass it on to the next goon.

So if anyone south of Singapore wants the camera please post here! Otherwise it's off to alkanphel.

I don't have any exciting plans for the next while but I'm sure I'd regret not getting in on this DICPIX action.

Spedman, are there any neutral meeting spots you'd want to do a shifty handover? I work in Collingwood and live in Northcote but I'll take anything more specific to PMs.

I work in Carlton so we could do a handball of the camera in Fitzroy next week sometime. I don't have PMs so hit me up at tdjames82 at gee mail so we can keep the camera moving. Good thing being that the awesome high speed colour film that VomitOnLino put in wont be x-rayed before the next goon has a chance of shooting it.

It's probably a combination of shooting Kodak Gold and just mashing the auto adjust button in Lightroom that gives it the warm VSCO style tone, and hence 80's look.

Plus the places I tend to go haven't changed their facades in decades and have a fair amount of much loved graffiti on them.

Yikes, I lost a few frames to leaks but nothing that bad.

I'm pretty sure I didn't manhandle it too badly, but I'd be happy to chip in for a CLA if this is a recent development...

Same, I had a few little ones, nothing that crazy. Mind you, its probably the fact that Perth is about 20mins drive from the face of the sun.

I mean, deaders has had the camera for over a year already, so I guess 2-3 users in 6 months would be a massive improvement.

e. seriously is Australia so boring that it takes more than a week or two to shoot a roll of film? :colbert:

Perth and Adelaide are, the rest isn't.




You've gotta get out Aus so you can come back see how good it actually is.

They're incredibly hit and miss, I'll for for months with everything being sent on time, then I'll get them attempting to deliver a photobook I ordered from Brooklyn once, not leave a card, then immediately send it all the way back, or something just as dumb. I know a few posties, they're an odd bunch.
