Wanted to try again and get a critique on my dslr scan here. I know I need a longer focal length macro to get less fall off but other than that lemme know. I'm thinking I'll just say fuck it and buy a v700, sell my k-3 kit. I don't shoot digital anymore anyways.

>color negs don't like to be underexposed
well i want to overexpose by just one step
but iam shooting aperture priority.....should i just check the light meter via aperture priority and then switch to manual or is there a better trick
>>3050988
Does your camera have exposure compensation?
>>3050970
You don't need a longer focal length. I scan with 50mm just fine. Are you stopping down? I typically shoot at f8.
You're scans are still very cyan, especially the second one. Try grey balancing and/or black balancing off the negative frame after inverting.
>>3050988
Use either exposure compensation (+1) or set your iso to 1 stop less (if you're shooting 400iso film, set your iso to 200).
>>3050991
yes...but i tought that exposure compensation is only for situations like having strong backlight with your subject standing infront of it :o
>>3050995
yeah i usually do that with my expired films
....
so i can basicly overexposure with the exposure compensation as if i would jump from
1/125 to 1/250 sec ? and even in little steps like
1/3 and so on ?
wow
>>3051001
Yeah if you set it to +1 exposure compensation it'll overexpose by one stop in Aperture priority, which is what you were looking for
>>3051002
i want to tell you how much i love you

i use the v750 in my university but can't afford an expensive one for myself...there are some v330 for 30 bucks in my area

>I'm thinking I'll just say fuck it and buy a v700
>wanting to downgrade your scans
Anyone have any tricks for shooting things in motion with a lower ISO? I want to catch more things going on but I don't like having to set my shutter speed to a lower setting. Can I set it to a higher setting and not really have to worry about exposure, or set, let's say, 400 ISO film to 800 on the dial?
>>3051026
There's no trick. Either you use a higher ISO film, use a wider aperture or a longer shutter speed. Setting your ISO dial to 800 will just underexpose your film by 1 stop.
If you're trying to capture motion in low light, either use a flash or push B&W film (like Tri-X or HP5) to 1600
>>3051018
my cousin has one. its super shitty, get at least v500.
>>3051029
ah damn, looks like i'll be looking for a new lens. i got some 800 the other day I'm dying to try out, and saw 1000 on the internet I want to order.
I have a om-1 and it has a mirror lock up feature to eliminate shake, and apparently it works for night photography, would that work as well? I just want to avoid my pictures coming out one big blur, and don't know much about the picture quality of 800 film.
All of these things I plan on learning as I go, but help is also appreciated
>>3051030
i see...thanks for the information
>>3051031
Mirror lockup will only really help for situations where the camera needs to be perfectly still i.e. long exposures. It's not super useful for shooting handheld, and you obviously can't see through the viewfinder so focusing becomes difficult.
800ISO film looks great. Pic related is 1600 iso film

Thanks for that man(or woman) I really appreciate it! So I'll skip the mirror lock up and spring for the 1000, and I'll try out the 800 with no worries.
Also, nice shot! That's the kind of stuff I look for on here

>>3050955
wheres the best place to get film developed? also whats the best film currently in production?
>>3051109
not OP but the best place depends on where you live
the best film depends on a few things a) what you want to shoot and b) how you want it to look.
when it comes to black and white films, it is almost always best to dev yourself as it gives you far more control on how it looks. this can come with a whole lot of experimentation and trial and error, but as you go you will find that your film choice and the way you develop your film contributes a great deal to your look.
those of us with a lot of film experience can give you pointers as to a good film for you but there is really no all round best film.

Tried a holder that didn't touch any surface, however it didn't make much difference. The tunnel from lens to light table worked great, though depending on the negative there's still some faint reflections here and there but they are barely/not noticeable on the computer. Cheers for the suggestions guys

Anyone have a good idea for storing Fuji packfilm shots in the go, keeping both negatives and positives free from dirt and sticking to each other?
Considering bringing a small family photo album to keep the positives in after they've dried, but I don't have a good way of storing negatives without them getting stuck to each other.
>>3051186
Just shot a roll of Astia today. Going to take a week to get back tho. In the meantime, an old slide.
>>3051222
Too much sky anon, imho.
I've been shooting 35mm film for about a year now and would like to get into medium format film. What's a good medium format camera to start off with? I'm a poorfag so something around $100-$150 would be ideal.

I hope it helps you find something good without stretching you beyond your budget.

The Yash Matt 124g has a built in LM. You can pick up a used one pretty damn cheap if you don't mind it looking a little beaten up.
If you're not into TLR's then maybe a Kiev 60? They were manufactured up till like 1999 so you can get one in good shape for cheap if you search. But you'd have to purchase a LM too, so maybe the Yash is the cheaper option overall.
>>3051244
The inbuilt light meter is not accurate.
>>3051252
Yeah nah. It's spot on.
You just gotta use the right batteries.

Gonna be going on a little skiing trip this Saturday and I'll probably just pack my OM2 with me but it'll be my first try at shooting scenes on a snowy mountain.
Does anyone have any tips on shooting snow scenes? I know about keeping batteries warm, condensation on body/lens etc.
>Should I just pack some ColorPlus @ 100 in case I fuck it up since it's cheaper? I'd rather not waste Ultramax or HP5.
>I've read somewhere that +2 exp comp should work fine.
>>3051426
You'll be fine mate, just spot meter and know with snow your usually in high contrast scenarios so either your shadows are gonna have minimal detail or your gonna have blown out highlights on the snow. Just meter for what you want to keep. If your shooting landscape stop down get the snow and try keep some shadow detail, if you're shooting a subject just meter for them. Just think what you want as a subject in the photo. You shouldn't screw up that much, don't over think it. My photos arnt in that harsh of light and I probably could have underexposed a bit to get more snow detail.

They demonstrate perfectly what I've been wondering about though. Thanks for the info anon, I'll keep it in mind and just breeze through 4-5 rolls and see what happens.
I'm just hoping it won't be ridiculously sunny or incredibly windy. Maybe I should just pack my throwaway Miranda as well because I don't care too much about wrecking it.
>>3051099
very nice, cool ethereal look to it
would look better without the white border imo
>>3051435
Yeah depends how much hiking you're doing, things can definitely get rattled around. Best luck shooting.
>>3051446
Not a lot of hiking, I'm more worried about having to clean the lens if the wind blasts snow in it or falling/dropping the camera and having water seep in. Cheers man, thanks again.
>>3051426
Take some Velvia for the early sunset if you are on a south facing slope.
>>3051466
muh colours
>>3051466
I've been meaning to try out Velvia for ages now. If I can get my hands on a couple of rolls before then I definitely will, thank you for reminding me.
>>3051456
If it's really snowy a trash bag/shopping bag and UV filter is all you need, unless you are dropping your camera of course but that is never a good idea unless it's an F5 and you want to dent earth.
>>3051473
Kek, rigging an improvised weather shield doesn't sound like a bad idea honestly. I'll have to check and see what the weather will be like but I might as well have one ready just in case.
I've never dropped a camera, I'm just really dreading the inevitable moment when I will. Or I could just get the ETRSi with me and use it as an anchor in case I am about to fall off a cliff.
>>3051476
You don't need anything fancy desu, doesn't take any space either, just make sure it's easy to reach for when the weather turns. Downside of the ETRSi is if you fall on it, you will break.
Also I don't know how long you are going but really try to sit out until sunset on top of the mountain. Mountain sunsets are epic.
Pic sorta related, French Alps, god knows which film, probably superia, Nikon F, 50mm
>>3051099
Thank you for posting this. Now I know what I want to use the rolls of 120 IR film, that I have, for.
Print it at Fomatone MG Classic 132, maybe use a warmtone developer as well. Or just sepia tone Fomabrom 112

Lovely tones, thank you for sharing this. I hope I'll get to be on a similar setting, albeit probably not that late in the day. It will depend on the rest of the people in my little group. I'll try to make the most of it either way.
Heh, it's an impressive little beast to carry around and use. How do you like the Nikon F? I've only heard great things about it.
>>3051496
Thanks.
The Bro sounds sweet, I need to get in MF but my Plustek sort of locked me in 35mm.
I've had the Nikon F since forever, it's all the essentials and nothing superflous, everything mechanical and engineered to a ridiculous standard. A reliable brass brick with a massive viewfinder. It's the camera I carry the most.
I also have an F5, the contrast is massive, as is the size. All in all probably one of the most capable cameras ever made, the focus motor is beastly and with a big lens you can feel the glass being thrown around in the barrel. The light meter is way better then you would ever need for film. It's essentially a cheatcode for film.
Would recommend both.
>>3051099
I usually dont like nature but that's very nice.
>>3051588
I just got it, I will be using it a lot. I am mirin' the film scanner though. I'll have to save up for a while before I can afford one myself. My advice for buying into MF is look around as much as you can. Deals pop up but it takes a while before finding something you want that won't blow up your budget. But you probably know that already.
I see, it sounds like a dream camera. Sturdy and no-bullshit functional. And the F5 is practically its bulky AF sibling with the best light meter ever. Haha I probably need to stop gearfagging before I'm stuck eating crackers for a month, my wallet can't take it.
I basically found my father's OM2n and use it as my main. Bought some more Zuiko glass for it and I swear by it pretty much. Then I wanted to try a cheap modern film SLR body so I got an EOS 300V for pennies with an OM-EOS converter and use it as a backup.
As far as I'm concerned, along with the Bronica, other than maybe getting a scanner and chems I am done with gear.
Just wanted to share that I bought an Eos 100/Elan with a 35-135 USM yesterday for $25.
Reduced from $50 because it's "broken". (It didn't have a battery)
Such a nice camera. Super smooth to shoot, nice "HP" viewfinder.
Almost finished a 27 roll of Agfa Pro200 yesterday :)
>>3051618
Hah nice, the lens alone costs almost triple the amount you paid. Keep an eye out in case the film door stops playing nice and have fun.

About those cheap kodak portra etc I found on ebay the other day, I messaged that guy asking if it was it legit. Ebay emailed this to me today. Stay safe lads.
>>3051628
It seems like more and more of these scams have been popping up lately, almost always selling Portra
>>3051476

Went scuffing along for like three feet.
It seems relatively okay except for some scuffs and a broken lens hood.
>>3051629
I found it as well and he was selling agfa and a lot of other stuff as well
>>3051629
is film photography really that lucrative, or do they have lots of constant scam surveillance on everything else already or something
can I scan my film with a 50mm f/1.4 lens?
Does it have to be macro? I'd shoot/scan with a 5D classic.
>>3051755
If you don't use a macro lens you'll simply get low resolution
The 50mm f2.5 macro is cheap enough and there's always the 70-300 sigma macro
>>3051757
>70-300 sigma macro
no
>>3051623
The lense has a little fungus, but it just seems to be behind the front element, which looks like it comes off easily enough.
And it did have some of that black sticky degraded foam on the shutter blades, but I got most of it off with metho. I actually mainly bought it to sell, I have another one, and it has lost the click detentes in the mode dial, which is a bit of a pain, but aside from that is a good beater body for flash photos.
Why does Fuji make such better film stocks than Kodak?
>>3052016

Are shatbeds not actually as bad as people make them out to be? Cause this shit seems pretty impressive, or is it just a good scan because of how large the film is? I'm looking at a v700 for medium format but unsure of how good the results are going to considering how much smaller the film is.
>>3052100
Most flatbeds will resolve grain on 400 speed B&W film as long as it isn't Delta 400 or TMY. Much more comes down to how good your film is, and how good your lens was, than to scanner quality.
But by all means, spend on a v700. It's a good scanner. Expensive as well. But it'll certainly stop you gearfagging about shatbeds any further.
>>3052128
I use a v700 at my college and find that it does a shit job of 35mm and 120 negs but if you get a good wet print and scan from the 8x10 it works great.
For 30 bucks it'll do fine for posting online, just don't expect any killer prints out of it.
Just found a huge batch of old Kodachrome slides! Will update as I scan then.
A sight for sore eyes this is.

m8, he shoots fucking 8x10, of course the resolution is going to blow you away.
Shatbedding is true degenerate behaviour.
Witness this DSLR cuck scan of some 6x9 Velveeta. This format has just more than one quarter of the vertical resolution of 8x10, and about 1/3 horizontally. So if we're calling my 6x9 scan about 70 megapixels, an 8x10 scan at the same magnification would produce a 700MP file. Woe betide the computer attempting a perspective deformation on that file.
>>3052100
If you have a good digital camera I'd suggest buying a macro lens over a flatbed scanner. You get better results, it will b faster to scan with, and you'll add a piece of equipment (the macro lens) that you can use for other things. A flatbed scanner can only do one thing and it's not very good at it.
Off to the lab I go.

need your opinions /p/
eversince i got the fuji xpro1 i started to carry my camera almost everyday with me taking photos, mostly street. later i bought the contax g2 with it's 45mm
3 years later the xpro1 broke. i wanted to buy another body bc i have the 18mm f2 and the 35mm f1,4 still and it's a good camera
im photographing lots with the contax g2 lately and i love film photography
now im not sure if i want to buy the fuji ga 645 or the digital fuji xpro1 lol
the thing is...i don't have much shekels sooo
should i invest in the fuji ga645 or roll with the xpro1 bc somehow digital photography is still usefull...i borrowed the x100 as a backup and it's too small and not that good as the xpro1 ....
>>3052432
The Fuji 18mm and 35mm f 1.4 are literally the two worst x-mount lenses ever made. Terrible autofocus speeds, and very mediocre optics.
Give an X-T2 or a6500 a try and you will be blown away.
If you want to change mounts or formats, now is the time to do it before you actually buy a good x-mount lens.
>>3052432
The GA is a great camera and can be had for ~$300. Guess you need to decide if you want to be without a digital camera.

Diacord. Truly a fucking gem of the unknown cameras.
>>3052528
images look sharp as fuck. do you have the metered version?
also how does it compare to a minolta autocord or a yashica mat?
>>3052529
It's a Diacord L, so yes it has the meter, which is spot fucking on considering it's almost 60 years old (and doesn't require any batteries). Carried a lightmeter with me the first trip out and realized I totally didn't need it. I have never shot a Yashica or an autocord, but forum chat says the Diacord (not the Ricohflex) has a lens as good as the autocord. I picked this one up from a gentleman on apug. Best $130 I have ever spent. So much so, I will probably sell my rb67 kit, which I spent a bunch more money on. This thing is small, light, quick and easy to use, and I get quite a few keepers from it.

This is mine, probably similar to anons. A copy stand would work much nicer than a tripod as you can set it up once in the exact position needed and never have to change it, where as your constantly setting up the tripod and spending some time adjusting each time you scan. If you can find a copy stand for under $50 I'd recommend picking one up, if not just use your tripod.

How do you get rid of the pixels on a cell phone display when DSLR scanning? I tried using a piece of glass because there's no way I can set any distance between the film/phone without loosing the light but that didn't work. Also how do you go about color correcting a color negs blue cast?
>>3051099
I shoot Rollei 400IR a bit.
Yours is one I wouldn't have tried since I'd screw up the exposure. Can as I ask how you exposed it?
With the Rollei I mostly go for something very sunlit and shoot f/16 for 0.5-1.0 seconds or the equivalent. It works alright but inside a forest like that I doubt I'd know how to get a decent exposure.
Stupid Question:
I understand that focal lengths differ between 120 & 35mm due the size of the neg.. However do apertures have to be considered differently?
I'm not a very lateral thinker & cant figure out if the f.stops will behave the same with (I assume?) a larger aperture due to increase in lense size ?
Have looked around on internet but cant find anything really, except a few formum posts saying you might underexpose a stop?
Hope thats coherent, Thank you
>>3052576
im not taking my life seriously so that's ok..
>>3051426
My advice for shooting snow is to bring filters and use them. Just leave a polariser strapped to the front, and with 100 ISO film that should let you access a more normal range of shutter speeds. Use a hood too. Put some tape over the metal film reminder on the back unless you want it freezing to your widdle nose, also a rubber eyecup can be nice. Oly's take nikon (standard) eyepiece fittings I believe.
Keep a spare pair of batteries in your pocket.
Again, re: condensation, don't throw out your plastic film canisters, keep your film in them even after it's shot.
Advance your film slowly; it's more brittle in the cold, and it's possible to get static arcing on your film in very cold dry conditions.
>>3052888
You need to get the pixels out of your depth of field, or completely mask them with some kind of diffusion material. Using a phone is pretty retarded T B H.
Getting good quality light is the number one most challenging part of DSLR scanning.

The f stops behave exactly the same way. An f/8, 1/60th at 100 ISO exposure will be exactly the same on any film format.
The difference with larger formats is that you will get less depth of field for any given aperture, so your f/8 medium format shot will still have a considerable amount of background blur a lot of the time, whereas a 35mm shot might not.
>>3052911
the forest was not completely dark, quite a bit of sunlight was coming through the canopy.
I set my camera to 50asa and metered without the filter and then put the filter on before the exposure. I think it was f8 at 1/8s then shot one stop either side.
never tried the rollei film though so I can't say how it would be different.

I am using an a7ii w/ SEL90M28. I put the negatives on top of tablet screen (lifted off a little so pixels don't get focused on, pretty sure the negative wasn't completely flat, but was damn close), and shoot from a tripod.
Haven't shot a new roll yet, but found some old negatives from 1986 and started working on those.
After some experimentation, I get decently clear enough shots of the negatives (though a light pad and negative holder will make it infinitely easier I think), but am having absolute hell getting the colors right.
Any tips?

I'm sorry I don't crosspost my favourites on both fourchan and my personal social media, bb. I picked a reject that had an acceptably sharp and detailed section to share with the group.
I've kinda got a stupid question - what exactly differentiates different film cameras, other than how much you can tweak settings and shit?
Isn't most of the work done by the lens and the film itself, on film cameras? Between two film cameras using the same lens, film, and shooting at the same speed, aperture, etc, what will be the differences between the shots?
(important note: I know next to fuck-all about film photography)
>>3053241
You're pretty much right. Film cameras are just complicated boxes that film goes in, the majority of the image quality is dictated by lens and film.
That said, there are some key features that make some film cameras better than others. Viewfinder size, high shutter speed, motorised film advance, light meter, mirror lockup, build quality, interchangeable backs, modular design etc are all points of difference between film cameras that may directly or indirectly affect the final image.
If you're just getting into film photography don't worry about any of this. Buy a cheap SLR and a 50mm lens and go for your life
>>3053241
Nothing, you're exactly correct. The only caveat to this is that some cameras may have smoother shutters whose operation will contribute less vibration and result in a fractionally sharper image, but this parameter is so dependent on environmental factors and photographer technique that it's moot most of the time.
Some cameras are just more pleasant to use than others. Easier to focus, easier to achieve correct exposure, lighter, better looking, compatible with more lenses, better integrated to flash systems, different film advances.
>>3053241
>>3053245
>>3053247
Also, obviously, cameras that you like better you'll shoot more. Cameras are like cars in that regard, you can compare spec-sheets all day but holding it in your hand and enjoying using it trumps any other spec.
I shoot 90% of the time with a Canon P from the 1950s. Almost all of my other cameras are much better technically than this old thing, but it gets the most use because it fits well in my hand and it's just easy to use.
>>3053241
>>3053245
>>3053247
>>3053250
You could also differentiate based on film format.
Personally I prefer 120 and 4x5 film because I like to blow my images up when I print them, only real downsides are that the cameras are big and clunky and the film can easily break the bank. (like $4.50 for a roll of 120, $60 for 25 sheets of 4x5)
I'm happy with my Mamiya RZ67 for 120 tho, shit is great for doing studio work
>>3053260
Pictures don't convey how comically large the RB67 is. It's at least 2x bigger than it looks in pictures, shocked me when I saw one IRL
>>3053261
I really love working with it tho, despite how shitty it is to try to bring the damn thing anywhere
>>3053241
>Between two film cameras using the same lens, film, and shooting at the same speed, aperture, etc, what will be the differences between the shots?
two film shots made by the same camera with exactly same settings are different in that the grain pattern will be a new one each time. sure, it has a structure, but the way it goes will be new every time, thats the reason why when you see films at the cinema the grain appears to flicker and "move" incessantly, specially in static shots.
Oh boy, here right in time for the weekend.

Well, I certainly will hand down my stuff to someone in my family. That said, I will keep using it until the time comes, just keeping it unused takes away from the sentimentality of it (since you didn't develop a connection/memories, with it).

You have a Sony, so buy Capture One Pro 10 for Sony. I think it's $40. Learn to use it. It is a thousand times better for film scans than Lightroom. Photoshop has way more tools on hand, but isn't as streamlined for processing raws. And the BIG bonus is that CapOne does tethering, which is a godsend when scanning film. Once setup, one click scans, imports, inverts and applies a basic tone curve.
What should I shoot for my first roll of film?
>>3053581
kodak gold, colorplus or c200.

what're you guys shooting this weekend? What's in your cam bag? Got some Portra 400 in the c330 80mm + new grip and Om-2spot hp5+ 24mm. Got a little flash in the bag couple rolls and a 100mm oly lens too.
>>3053559 #
That sounds nice. I only have one other friend that shoots and sparingly.
>>3053389 #
I feel you about the connection and stuff, but the idea of getting a basically minty set up as a hand me down sounds way too sweet. I do guess all my equiptment now should last quite a while.
>>3053590
No where haha atleast not in Canada, I usually order from B&H.

What're you shooting photos of?
It's cherry blossom season, height of the bloom and it's rainy/cloudy. Was wanting to shoot lots of slide but the weather is so shit I am waiting until I'm out to load anything. May wind up shooting some 160NS on the Bronica but will take some rolls of Provia with me just in case the light gets nice. Also may head out at night to take advantage of the clouds + light pollution combo.

noticed that the diacords dont have a shutter hole where you can attach a shutter release. so how do you bulb? you just press it with extra care? you tape it?
>>3053609
nvm, found it: its called the leica nipple (?) release adapter.
>>3053602
I know I've tried tricking the kids into using point and shoots, disposables and whatnot. Very unresponsive to the whole thing, either why carry this crappy camera around or just why would I take pictures in general. It could be me too though.
>>3053608
It's raining here too so gonna do some flash at night and some longer exposures.
How much should I pay for a new GW690iii?

>what're you guys shooting this weekend?
My plan was going to shoot some Sakura. Was thinking around Philosopher's Road.
<---Here is a digital snapshit from around the house.
But it has been a rainy overcast mess for the last few days. Really not worth the trouble.
>What's in your cam bag?
NOTHING. That's another reason why I haven't gone out.
I just ordered a new X-500 off e-bay. It looks brand new and even has protective film on some parts.
It was supposed to arrive yesterday, but it hasn't. Since it is the weekend now and it was an international order, I probably wont get it to next week.

I just ordered a Canon Sure Shot AF35M off ebay and I'm super excited to start shooting film
>>3053594
I'm shooting some street snaps on my Bessa R2 & CV 35mm f2.5, loaded with Kentmere 400 that I'm pushing to 800.
Weather's not too great here but I'm gonna try to get some sakura snaps too. Got some expired Sensia 400 in my AA-35. Also bought a 3-pack of Natura 1600 yesterday to try out.
>>3053624
Natura kicks ass, you'll love it. You can pretty much shoot it anywhere from 400-2000 on the same roll and get awesome results
Hi Guys! I looking for something cheap to stabilize my camera when recording. I found something like pic related, but I don't know how to find it on shop or how is this even called. Maybe you guys know something? Thanks in advance!
>>3053625
Yeah what I've seen of it looks promising. And I usually push black and white to 1600 so I can shoot it like I normally shoot, instead of having to slow down like I usually have to when I shoot color.
>>3053626
Try the video thread, this thread is for the format of film (i.e 35mm, 120 etc) not 'filming'
Can someone redpill me on caffenol?
Is it possible to push 400 to 800?
Also when pushing film do you just treat the film as the iso you're going for? Or is there another procedure?
>>3053641
With pushing film you shoot it as if it's the desired speed.
It's important to understand that pushing doesn't actually change the speed of the film. It's underexposing, and then overdeveloping to compensate. Also, pushing only really affects the highlights. If you don't give the film any light to work with in the shadow, pushing won't magically conjure up shadow detail. It's like trying to turn the volume up on silence.
I recently got given an EOS 5 and plan on making it my main film cam, anyone got advice on getting the most out of it? I've never used an automatic film shooter before. Also any zoom lens recs? All I've got is the shitty kit lens.
>>3053651
The 24-104/4L and a good 400ISO film will turn you into an unstoppable snapshitting machine.
>>3053663
I've used it before but f4 is too slow for me. Also it's bloody expensive for a non-pro.
>>3053665
>but f4 is too slow for me
Well I guess you don't want a zoom then, you fucking mongoloid. Feel free to spend a grand on a 24-70 instead to get one stop of aperture and lose 4 stops of image stabilisation...
>>3053666
B-but I thought there were some good 2s or 2.8s out there
>>3053667
Zooms? Not that are that fast without spending some good $$$$.

Ok so i gave capture one a shot. I feel like i am getting closer, but my images still look like shit compared to the ones that came on the fujicolor disc when I got them developed.
And I am having trouble keeping them flat. Gonna need a sheet of glass or something to lay on top.
>>3053668
Do you find developing naked helps your colours?
>>3053679
I develop naked so I can wash myself + my film at the same time 2 save the planet.

No way you learned all the tools of CapOne overnight. It will take days or weeks to get a handle on which knobs to turn to color correct color negative film. I'll give you a few tips. Crop image. Go to the Exposure tab>Levels. For the red, green and blue channels drag both input sliders (top) to the opposite end. Drag the left output slider (bottom) to the right until it just touches the left side of the histogram. Drag the right output slider to the left until it touches the right side of the histogram. Do that for R, G and B channels. Do NOT adjust the saturation control in the Exposure tab, it will shift the color balance. Adjust tone with the levels and curves tools selecting "RGB" in each tool. Goto Color tab. Make a course adjustment with the White Balance tool. Fine tune shadow, midtone and highlight with the "Color Balance" tool. In my experience using a Sony, at this point your image will be oversaturated. Go to the "Color Editor" tool. At the bottom of the tool you will see 7 colors. Highlight (don't unclick) the bottom row (all colors) and adjust the saturation to taste. Give this a try and let me know how it works for you.
Forget using a piece of glass to flatten the film, you will get reflections. Get proper film holders. I get excellent results using the Lomography holders, both 120 and 35. Don't let the name fool you, these are well designed and made holders.
Okay so I want a new regular film to move to. I've been considering Portra 400 but have heard good things about Ektar and Fuji equivalents. Basically I shoot landscapes as well as my qt gf and myself in those landscapes, I want high sharpness and low grain and plenty of latitude for colour correction. Any suggestions?

Portra 400 would be a terrible mistake then. What format are you shooting?
I'd suggest Superia 400 if you're a babby cuck shooting 35mm who's afraid of slow film. Finer grain and better colours than Portra 400.

Is it common to be afraid of slow film? I don't understand the meaning of this:
>a babby cuck shooting 35mm who's afraid of slow film
Not arguing -- I am genuinely curious.
>>3053932
I learned on slow films, so I never really use anything past like 125-160.
I don't understand this aversion to slow film either

Can't say I disagree with this. It's literally just Tri-X but with chunky vomit grain.
>>3053932
Fast film is more versatile since you can handhold the camera and not have to shoot wide open in a wider range of situations. I'll use ISO 100 if I know I'm going to be outdoors on a sunny day, but I think 400 is a lot more versatile. I hate being stuck with slow film and suddenly it's dark and I have to take off the color filter to gain a stop or two and pray my wide open slow shutter speed handheld photo isn't a blurry mess.

>>3053892
What have you been shooting? Portra is alright, Superia 400 is 95% as good for ~40% of the price.
what are the odds walgreens screws up C-41 dev?
should i get chems and a scanner instead?
>>3054030
Used walgreens for 35mm for years, never had a screw up. Ymmv
>>3054037
also I doubt walgreens has the capacity to develop 120/4x5 film
>>3054037
Except passport photos need to be notarized, so no...you couldn't. Thata what passport places charge money for, not for the actual photo part.

Not in the states. Only requirement is size and positioning.

>>3053808
>Are y'all in nihhon? What're you doing there?
NOT taking pictures. The sky is an ugly battleship gray, at least it stopped raining this morning.
I am here for grad school but I teach university English on the side.
I wanna get into film photography, and I want to go straight to a medium format.
I'd be dumping my DSLR (Pentecks K-3) so I'll have well enough money to spare, but I have some concerns.
How long will film remain? I'd like to go to this method as my primary, but I'm unsure if film will live on, let alone medium format.
Where do I get this shit fixed? Do I have to travel to the ends of the earth just to find repairs?
I'm too poor to afford a f00l frame dslr, and hell if I'm buying a medium format digital ever.
I would like to shift to this style anyways as the period of waiting for film development is more my speed.
>>3054067
they were literally just small headhsots printed on standard photopaper.
and they did work, I got my passport more than a year ago with no issue using them
>>3054128
Honestly I sincerely doubt film will disappear in our lifetime. There are still many thousands of pro photographers out there who shoot primarily on film and as long as one good company is still pumping out C41 it will remain a popular and viable profession/hobby. I can't speak for the longevity of more niche film types though.
>>3054128
If you're looking into getting into shooting medium format film, your best bet is to pick up a decent used 120 camera.
Mamiyas are pretty cheap if you search around ebay for them (I got my RZ67 from there and its like the thing never left the factory in Japan in the ~30 years its been around).
If you want a lighter carry 120, you can look around for Rolleicord/Rolleiflex TLR cameras, though their prices vary depending on where you find them.
And you'd be surprised just how many pro photographers still like using 120 film, plus if it ever dies out for any reason, you can buy digital backs got a lot of the bigger 120 cameras (Mamiya/Hasselblad)
as for reparis, you're more than likely on your own unless you have a decent photo supply place near you. I have a couple reasonably priced places near me in KC that always go to if I have problems
>tfw WW3 is happening soon and can't justifty buying any camera equipment because of that
>>3054153
your cash will be worth nothing soon, and film equipment is gonna come in handy in the new stone age
Got my first two rolls through my new RB back today and decided to scan a few frames.
>>3054153
When the EMP from the nukes goes off our mechanical cameras will be the only way to leave photographic evidence of our downfall for the species that inevitably takes our place, so that they might avoid the same mistakes we made.
>>3054153
Don't believe the media because it isn't coming bub.
>>3053856
Woops, sorry. Didn't mean to imply I mastered it, was just asking for tips. I will give your tips another shot once I get the film holder.
I think part of the problem is the pictures I am.adjusting have a lot of grass and trees, and I find it hard to get green right.
As for the film holders, the 35mm lomography one (digitaLIZA right?) seems to be sold out everywhere. Does the 120 film one work okay with 35mm film?
whats the benefit of using like 1600 iso film as opposed to 200? Just better for low light situations?
>>3054294
More shutter speed, more depth of field, more headroom for filters. (damn that medium orange for having a 4x factor, and being such a slut.) But also, more grain, more contrast, less dynamic range, and longer processing times.
So I just got to the end of my first roll on my Zorki and found I'd torn the film at some point at the end without realising. How do I avoid this in the future? I felt the wind lever getting stiffer and clunkier with the last few frames but that's pretty normal.
Got back a ton of film scanned. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty sure most of these were portra 800

I'm going on a trip to london, how much film do you think I should bring with me? Also how safe do you guys think it is to pack a few rolls in a ziplock bag and stick it in a carryon bag?
>>3054583
Are you from the US? I was just in London in March and each time at Gatwick when I asked them to handcheck the film at security they got all indignant and insisted the scanners didn't damage film. My stuff ended up being fine. It was 400 speed film. I think as long as you're not going through the scanners like 5 times you should be fine
>>3054584
Yeah, I'm from NYC flying out of JFK and into heathrow and then from Heathrow to JFK on my way back. I was thinking of bringing some natura 1600 so maybe I'll keep it to 800 or less.

It's as heavy as a Leica M3 if that means anything to you. It's well built, fits well in your hand.
It has a 1:1 viewfinder which is awesome for 50mm lenses, and means you can use the camera with your other eye open which is sick. Rangefinder patch on my copy is a tad dim but you can quite easily remedy that with a little blob of black sharpy in the middle of the viewfinder.
It's got a couple of quirks. For one, the film door has two locks. Also there's a collar around the shutter release which you move from shooting to rewind. If you leave it between shoot and rewind it'll lock the shutter, but if you jiggle the collar a bit too much it'll release the shutter. Also it has no parallax correction and no lightmeter
>>3054674
Also, what lenses should I be looking out for with an SQ-A.
I don't really know what the medium format equivalents are or what good lenses for the SQ-A are?
>>3054677
80mm on 120 = 50mm on 35mm film
start there, then work out if you want wider or longer lenses
