Photo calendar.

[alexvaras]

I have the silly idea of doing a calendar for 2026 and one of the things I would like to include is those days "for using this or that type of camera"
Example: 1st May is Commie Camera day or 12th July is 127 film camera day...

I think you had something like this in Nelson Photo... anyone keeps a record of it?

Thanks!
Alex

I remember Pinhole day, Toy camera, etc

International Film Buying Day is October 1st according to Flickr.

You could invent some new dates, while you are at it. How about June 6 and April 4 for square format, January 20 for 120 film, May 13 for 35mm, May 4 or December 9 for LF…

Pablo has to do both since he is metric and lives there

[titrisol]

I cant really think in Imperial/Arcane measurement system but have to use it every day and rememeber that most of those are remnants of the Roman empire.... SPQR!

For those of us that deal with sensible date formats

12 February = 122 day
11 June = 116 day
12 June = 126 day
12 July = 127 day

etc.,

Plus of course:
5 April = 5x4" (UK speak)
