Where is a good place to get film developed? I usually just use Walmart at this point but I'm sure my photos would probably look better if I got them properly developed

Adding a trip bc these threads are cozy, i was anon towards end of last thread.

Anyway I shot 4 rolls of cheapo fuji xtra 400 on a pentax zx60 with a 70-300 f4-5.6 at a track meet. I thought I wouldn't like shooting film but the way I was forced to limit myself was amazing and I loved it.

Sorry for the blog btw, but it inspired me enough that I bought a Nikon l35af and 5 rolls velvia 100. What am I in for now?

>>3073666
>What am I in for now?
medium format or half frame, either are kino. your choice, satan.

>>3073584
Develop them yourself. It literally takes no time and you can have full control on your negatives/slides.

>>3073596
>lens front element touching the filthy focus rubber of that shitty 3rd party zoom
Jokes on you that zoom lens is so shitty that the focus rubber is actually plastic

>>3073695
Where do I develop them myself?

>>3073707
In your house. Buy D76 developer, fixer, and a Paterson film developer tank and get to it.

For whatever reason I really hate their plastic reels. It's really hard to mount 120 film on their reels but I can do it without any issues on AP reels.

>>3073774
Plastic reels are awful shit. Metal reels for life.

>>3073783
Well it's slightly harder to mount film on metal reels but at least you don't need to care about the moisture on the reel.

>>3073670
I was talking more about the l35af and velvia friend! But I'm sure I will slowly slip down that drain as well, and also is it worth buying expired film from people on Craigslist?

>>3073910
Also why did clover remove my trip >:(

has anyone tried Maco direct developing kit?

https://www.macodirect.de/en/chemistry/black-white-chemistry/film-developing/film-developer/5623/maco-eco-kit-universal-processing-chemistry-3x-1l

its much cheaper than the other dev kits thought of purchasing it.

>>3073774
Never had a problem with Paterson reels. Been using em since '05.

Gonna cop a Tetenal C41 kit when I finish this university semester, any advice on colour developing? I'm very acquainted with developing B&W

Also anyone have experience with Kodak ProImage 100? I can get it cheap as chips, want some cheap film while I learn C41 processing

>>3073927

>>3073584

Probably developed just fine, it is just their scanners suck dildos.

>>3073774
I've only used 35mm film with mine so that might be a legitimate criticism, I truly have no idea. It works great for 35mm film though.

I don't really get the home dev thing unless you don't have access to a lab. I get mine done for £3 per roll with a 20-minute turnaround then scan them myself. I know they'll never fuck it up whereas I could.

So did I. That was until my slides came back with drying marks all over the film.

Also, home development is a lot cheaper. Especially black and white. Rodinal, HC-110, pyro developers last forever, and can be diluted a lotto last even longer.

Is the AF slow? If it's T4 slow I'll sell it after a few rolls. If it's as fast as a MJU II I'll probably shoot all of the Ektachrome 320T I have on it before selling.

>>3074133
Yeah I'm a Westerner. Easiest way (and one of the only ways unless you have gud Japanese) is to teach English. I wouldn't recommend living here tho desu(country is pretty assbackwards). A ski season would be a good length of time tops.

/fgt/s, /fgt/s, I think I've discovered something nice (for myself anyway), and would like to share it. Tl;dr -- assemblyline film processing using multiple tanks and two-bath fixing. I mean literally pouring dev into the second tank two minutes after pouring the first, and agitating them 30 seconds apart. Then pouring the first tank's dev out, stop in, while the other one develops, etc.

Oh the subversive giggle I had finding out that I could actually just pour stop, old fixer, and new fixer, just from one tank to another and then into the right bottle at the end. Six 35mm rolls in half an hour; clearly achievable with an eight reel tank as well, but I haven't got one now do I.

Yea, I have a few friends here doing JET and Interac, they love it. One is trying to extend past the three year limit.

I wish I had a solid schedule and income like my JET friends. Grad school goes from weeks of laid back study to weeks of paniced preperation for presentations and proposals. I do teach English to university students on the side which helps. I don't know how it is for you, but four 90 minute classes in a row is absolute killer.

I only recently started shooting film (and photography in general really), but I have really enjoyed it so far. Helps that I am in a beautiful city. Though at times it feels like I am just taking generic tourist pictures.

God damn, that must be nice. I keep falling asleep on the bus ride home. Last time I did it, the driver had to wake me up at the last stop.

I live in Kyoto. It is full of temple-ey and Japanese-ish stuff like pic related. I love the city, but it can be way too touristy certain times of the year.

I have yet to try e6. I hear it is a lot less forgiving than simple Superia 400. Is there a type you would recommend?

Walp, novice here. I finally printed my first two /film/ rolls and a jarring difference between them is that, while the first ones are technically decent, most of the pictures in the second batch have awful focus, some of them basically looking like indiscernible blurs. IIRC, I accidentally dropped my camera bag a few days before shooting on that second roll, and while there are no external damages I can't help but wonder if my rangefinder was misaligned. If that's the case then how the fuck do I fix it? Can it be recalibrated somehow or is the camera basically dun goofed?

It might also be worth noting that the first roll was entirely shot outside with fast shutter speeds and small F values while most of the second roll was shot on interiors and poorly lit places that had me constantly changing settings which eventually also had an impact on my ability to properly shoot those second pictures, but I'm too paranoid to assume that was the only issue. My camera is a FED 3, by the way - pic related.

Shot some ATO 2.1 today. Hopefully it'll be better than last time. Pic sadly related.
Apart from everything else, the backing paper printing somehow rubbed off onto the film. Stored moistly maybe, I don't know. I just hope it's not all the rolls because I bought like ten of them. Ah well.

Rangefinder alignment is pretty easy to check, just measure out a distance and use the focus scale on the lens to see if it's lining up. If it's actually misaligned I don't know how easy a DIY fix is, but servicing it will cost more than the camera did.

Are you sure you weren't just shooting with slow ass shutter speeds and blurring from camera shake?

Not him, but try some Provia 400X for general stuff, Velvia 100 for landscapes, and if you can find some, T64 Type II for long exposure night stuff.

All these films have to my knowledge any reciprocity failure up to 1 minute.

Most slide films should not exceed +2 EV or -2.5 EV. That gives you an incredible dynamic range of 5 stops.

Tried some some myself in 6x9 last week. Found that it was a completely new and fresh way of thinking. To anyone who feels they are stagnating in B&W, try some IR with a Hoya R72 filter.

All the different cameras have different notches or gaps in the corners, so you can differentiate them. I think only Yashicas are true squares. I used to own a hasselblad back with custom notches on the other side so I knew which back was which, but its gone now.

I've got a new series of stuff from Ireland I'll share soon, in a separate thread.

Dropping the camera more than likely knocked the finder out of whack. The other Anon's check is sensible. Luckily there's a super easy fix for soviet rfs: to align close focus, use tweezers to rotate the small arm head inside the lens mount. To align infinity, which is more likely the problem, there'll be a screw on the front of the camera which you unscrew and remove revealing a smaller screw inside, which in turn can be screwed one way or the other. Easiest way is stick the cam on a tripod, point it at a bright, distinct faraway object (like a star) then twiddle the screwdriver until you match up.

>>3073954
>if yer photos suck it's prob your fault
This is definitely the case most of the time. I was just wondering how much of a difference it makes depending on where I get my film developed

Wow, thats nice!

>>3074291
>>3074327
That does appear to be it, thank you very much my fellow negroes! I tried the 1 meter test and the focus really was way off, been reading some pretty useful pages (http://jay.fedka.com/index_files/Page422.htm and https://tomtiger.home.xs4all.nl/zenrep/calibration.html) and the tweezers trick seems to be effective in changing the calibration, although I still haven't been able to exactly align it correctly since the damn thing is so stiff. It's gonna be trial and error until it works, I guess. As for the infinity, which inevitably has also been affected after messing around with the arm head, will I have to buy a 1,5mm screwdriver for that? I can't even see the smaller screw, it must be absurdly tiny.

>>3074335
Yeah, you'll need a set of precision tools. Can be found for cheap online and definitely a good investment if you plan on keeping up the hobby (I disassembled both my industar lenses to fix various focus/aperture issues by sight alone and had no problems, found it quite fun).

>>3074291

And yey, I finally got the close range all correct by twitzing the arm head, which basically turned the infinity into a massive blur. Guess I'll have to urgently get that 1.5mm screwdriver then.

Any workaround to make the camera usable for now? I really like shooting large decadent buildings and have been thinking about doing an entire gallery of that for a collaborative college exhibit, will keeping my focus in infinity do the trick?

>>3074339
Shame about the dust, still turned out a hell of a lot better than my first rf snaps. Light leaks, scratches, mottling, perforation marks and chewed up ends.

>>3074351
>will keeping my focus in infinity do the trick?
Yep. Unfortunately fiddling with the arm can mess up infinity so if you want to commit to architecture/landscapes until you get the tools just use the arm to get infinity right.

I just took my first film reel out of my camera, i opened up the hatch to watch it cause i was following some tutorial and the guy did the same thing. I realized that might have been a bad idea afterwards.

Is the film messed up? All my blinds are closed and I'm in a dark room at the moment.

It's the Fujifilm Fujicolor PRO 400H Professional Color Negative Film

>>3074355
?

>>3074358

?

I was taking the film out of the camera, you know with the reverse knob thingy. And I wasn't sure if it was actually coming out, so I opened it up like the guy in the video and reversed it while the back was open.

I'm wondering if it messes it up.

Isn't this the film thread? I have a Canon ae-1

>>3074355
If the film got exposed to any light it's dilled m8. Use your head next time haha

>>3074365

Oh shoot even if I had the blinds all closed it's toast? Ya i guess the guy in the tutorial was just showing that for an example.

>>3074361
You destroyed it. I opened back of my camera by accident for a second tops and it destroyed 1/4th of the photographs (thank god they were all snapshits). By rewinding your film with cover opened you exposed every frame to sunlight and you destroyed any information that was saved on them. Just treat it as a lesson and toss the roll into the rubbish bin.

>>3074368

Haha alright, I guess I'll have to be more careful next time. Ya common sense alluded me at that moment.

>>3074353
Thanks, guess that will do for now then! Do I really have to "reprogram" the arm again for architectural photography though or can I just keep the focus in there until I get the tools? I mean, it was a bit of a hassle to finally get the close range right.

The camera has been broken the whole time, and also you failed to focus correctly.

It's really fucking easy to tell if your RF is working, btw.
Focus on something, then get a fucking tape measure and see if the distance matches what's on the lense.
Also, kill yourself.

Yeah, you can zone focus using the scale on the side of the lens. At the same time I heavily question whether it was actually the RF mechanism that was fucked; I've got a Fed 3 myself and the worst problem is setting shutter speeds correctly. That's to say: sometimes 1/60s comes out as 1/15s and vice versa because of play in the shutter speed knob. Soviet stuff without the slow speeds is so much nicer in this regard.

Agree entirely. It's a nice way to view the world differently and get out of a rut.
And it can look both beautiful and very very different from what we normally see. Summertime is IR time as far I'm concerned.
I have a converted Nikon D70s which I need to get out of storage too. I just wish PS could handle the raws from it, but it doesn't work well with white balances set as cold as what I want from digital IR, so I shoot jpg

Best place to bring an old film camera for a CLA/repair in Japan?

This infatuation with Soviet stuff is kind of silly. None of them will ever be anything but an oldfashioned, countercultural lo-fi option. A tier above Holgas and compacts. Shooting them as a sole camera is asking for them to break; like driving a Trabant, you'd best bring your field repair materials and tools with you because that rally cardboard ain't gonna stay put. (That being said, my Fed 2 and Zorki have been nothing but wholly reliable down to -10°C; haven't tried below.)

But, alongside a hi-fi camera, it's nice to be able to switch gears to an all-manual piece of shit just to prove that yeah, the camera matters very little in comparison to everything else that goes into a picture. Soviet stuff needs a backup however, and that'd best not be another Soviet camera. Like, take a Holga with you as well or something.

>>3074584
Reminder that it's more economical to shoot film as a cinematic format if it exceeds $25,000

Speak for yourself, I display all my photos in my house. Also what 'experience' can you buy for $20? I already backpack, cycle, mountaineer etc.

wew, and you're calling me a salty little bitch. Obviously "of nothing" wasn't implied in a literal sense, I'm saying it's a uninteresting photo with no redeeming qualities whatsoever other than "muh infrared". Ask yourself "if this was in colour/b&w, would this be interesting?", and the answer would be no. Like I said, just because it's an infrared photo doesn't mean you can exclude light/shapes/pattern/composition/subject/whatever and still expect a good photo

Looking at sending film to be developed in the mail instead of going local due to a lot of the labs in the Houston area being pretty pricey and a bit of a drive for me.
No scanner or dslr, so I don't see any point in developing myself for the time being.
I've finished 4-5 rolls that I wanted processed and put onto a CD or something. No need for prints since I'm just now getting into shooting film.
I'm currently thinking about Dark Room or Old School Photo Lab. Anyone use either of these places, or recommend any place that might be better/cheaper?

Anyone here good at maths? I need some help.

I want to scan film using my fuji xpro2, so i'm looking for extension tubes.

In the past using my nikon setup, I had a couple of extenders and old manual glass, and it was fine once I got the right combination.

Now, I can't test the fuji tubes if they work or not. Minimun focusing distance, distance to the film, all that jizz. I can't calculate this stuff.

I own the 23mm and 35mm f2 lenses. Considering the fuji is apsc, what magnification would I need to fill the frame with the negative?

>>3074951
I was never a big fan. It seems aimed at producing an extremely neutral image, like a JPEG out of a DSLR, and that's not really what I use film for.

>>3074795
I used The Dark Room recently. The scans are just standard minilab stuff, oversharpened with grain that's shot all to hell, but they're okay, and the service is fast. My scans came out to be 6MP.

Ilford's film processing service is run by The Darkroom.

Richard Photo Lab are a bit more expensive but not a huge leap in quality, at least for B&W.

REEEEEEEEE THEN WHY PEOPLE ADVISE IT IT AS SOME SORT OF IDEAL FILM FOR CORRECTING THE EXTREME CONTRAST OF LOW ASA FILM, ARE THEY RETARDED FAGGOTS TOO?

>>3075121
YES THEY ARE

After seeing some of the other replies in the thread on sending film to get developed, i'm really considering saving up and investing in a scanner and my own chemicals.
And I like that it'll give me something fun to work on over the summer.

I'm looking at the Epson v600 or 550, whichever one I can find cheaper online. Other than the scanner, developing tank, and chemicals, what else do I absolutely need for my own development?

Amber bottles? Some kind of thermometer and water heater? Some sort of clips to hang dry the film or something to wipe the wet film clean? Hope I'm not overthinking this whole thing.

>>3075122
JESUS SHITTING CHRIST ON A WHEELCHAIR WHAT DO I NEED THEN TO DEVELOP WITH EXTREME LOW CONTRAST I WANT ONLY GRAY SHIT WITH GRAY SHIT ON TOP

>>3075123
Just for getting into it, you basically only need the chemicals and the developing tank. Fixer is reusable but you can just store it in an empty soda bottle. Developer is just thrown away, but it is advised to store it in empty bottles and bring it away as toxic waste to whatever place collects that where you live.

A cheap thermometer is also handy, but with black and white (you are doing b/w, right?) you can do without the water heater, just let the faucet run and add cold/hot water until you reach 20C, but don't panic if you're off by 1 or 2 degrees, as it's not that critical. I just use clothes pins to hang them up to dry

>>3075123
Don't need amber bottles but might as well

If you also cook consider getting a laser thermometer, also it's fun

Microwave/tap is water heater

Regular clothes pins with clothes hangers will do

Get a cheap film squeegee, though fingers will do in a pinch

>>3075125
I have more color rolls than b/w, so i was probably going to start with color. Is b/w more forgiving as far as the temperatures or what?

>>3075129
Yes, the C41 process needs 38C and rather constant at that. You can achieve this by filling a large body of water, like a sink, with water of that temperature (make it on the high side of 38C to compensate for cooling somewhat) and keep your chemicals and developing tank in that bath (closed bottles ofc) until everything is the same temperature. Then start the process.

Although you might want to look up a more detailed tutorial, as I do mainly b/w.

>>3075129

Unless you're going for a hipster look practice with b&w ya dingus

>>3075123
>Some sort of clips to hang dry the film or something to wipe the wet film clean?
photo flo and clean fingers to act as a squeegee. don't use an actual squeegee, one bit of dirt or anything that gets stuck in the squeegee will result in a nice scratch down your entire roll

Nice results! I didn't know you could get the same results whilst deviating from. the prescribed temperature. However, for the sake of clarity towards that other anon, the temperature should be constant at whatever value you choose. So if you go for 30C, it should remain 30C throughout the process

in japan, yes probably, dont know really. everywhere else, nah.

Seems like it'd be better for beginners, but bw film as well as bw processing seems to be more expensive.

>>3075481
Infinitely easier developing and (especially) printing
More artistic freedom in the printing process

You can control basically everything with b/w printing, given a skilled dark room printer, your skill is really the limit, you can dodge/burn, adjust contrast etc. With colour, you can only print, adjust colour balance and hope for the best. Exaggerated, maybe, but that's the basic gestalt of it.

Hey guys, I accidentally opened the back of my Pentax 67 before winding all the film back onto the spool (all exposures were taken, I just forgot to wind it all on), will the first few photos taken on the roll be okay?

Is the Leica M5 the best Leica? Was it just hated on by autistic Leica normies because it was different looking?

>>3075794
It depends how long you had it opened for but they are most likely ruined

>>3075794
Yes, that's the beauty of 120 film, the backing paper is great insurance.
>>3075800
Yes.

>>3075810
About 1 second before realising I had made the mistake, it was just Acros that I shot at box speed - ISO 100.
>>3075814
Hope you're right haha, I will develop it tomorrow

>>3075655
Where in japan can you still buy 400x?

>>3075844

Amazon has some by third party sellers, but it is jacked up a bit.

Can I do street photography with a Mju II?

>>3075874
Of course

>>3075886
Teach me daddy.

Ok so this is a pretty dumb question but I just bought my first ever film camera and roll of film today. The film's an ultrafine xtreme 400 and the guy I bought it from said that it was "rendered to iso 100". I don't remember exactly what he said and i'm not sure if it makes sense. Is what he said the same as pulling the iso, and if so, if that even possible to do before I shot the film. Please help a newfag out.

What's the best light meter app?

>>3075770
It's been stopped for awhile, so yeah stock up if you want to use it.
>>3075844
Amazon, 120 pro-packs are ~5000yen. Can also lurk yahoo auctions. I got a pro-pack of 35mm off there for 6000.

>>3075874
You bet. Point, and shoot.

This is the lightmeter app I have. I hit "measure" but I don't understand what it's telling me to do

>>3075915
They all do the same thing find the one you like the most and use that

>>3075923
Top numbers = aperture
numbers in the ring = shutter speed
pretty simple

>>3075926
I know what the numbers mean but which apeture/speed is it telling me to do. There's no indicator

>>3075930
Any of the options.

>>3075930
Any of them. If you wanna shoot a specific aperture/shutter speed use the other setting it's pointing to.

>>3075921

I will give it a shot.

A single roll of 400x cost me $20, shit better be good.

>>3075942
It's nice, and can be pushed to 1600 if that makes you feel better.

Love me some udon.

>>3075907
He probably said something like it can be pulled to 100. Just shoot it at ISO 400 like the box says. When you get it developed they develop it for the ISO on the box, unless you specify otherwise.

Where are you supposed to store film? I just have it in my room

>>3075772
BH Photo ships to Pakistan. Also, where are you?

If you can get to Kabul, there are two camera stores there. I can hunt for the info, but it might be easier for you to research yourself if you can read farsi.

>>3074737
You can get some great results with this! Definitely not to be dismissed because of the price

>>3076068
>i subscribe to the ridiculous notion of there being value in manual craft
if youre implying the spotmatic is somewhat auto. it isnt. but it uses m42 lenses which are far more compatible with other cameras than the weird k mount.

hey /fgt/'s, I found this little guy in a Pelican case I bought at a Goodwill. The camera is in pristine condition and everything works like it supposed to. However, I have absolutely no use of this camera and I don't have any EOS lens (Already got a Nikon F5 and an EM2 with some Nikkor lenses). Should I sell it, or should I get some EOS lens and give it a shot? Currently, I have no plan spending more than $200 on a camera like this.

>>3076208

Pick up the 40mm pancake.

It is like $100 and a fun lens.

>>3076210

Oh wait, on second thought, are modern Canon EF lenses backwards compatible?

Well a 50mm or the 40mm pancake for this are both dirt cheap even new. If you know anybody that's into cameras, they'll probably be happy to give you a film era kit zoom for nothing.
The 40mm gives you pretty much technical perfection from a sharpness, CA and distortion perspective, and makes the camera extremely light and compact. Takes 52mm filters as well, like your Nikon glass.
Those are really nice cameras though. Probably bicer and more capabe than your F5, desu.
The other thing you could do is adapt any of your Nikkor stuff with an aperture ring, it will meter fine in Aperture priority mode.

Thanks for the advice mates, I will look into it.

I have a Ricoh KR-5sv bloody great camera with a huge bright viewfinder and electronic lightmeter but they are pretty uncommon. I'd recommend that or the Ricoh KR-5 Super ii which is pretty much identical but a lot more common. Both cameras maximum shutter speed is 1/2000 which is pretty high for an SLR.

They'll be fine in your carryon as long as they're slower than 800. If you check them, they will get fogged.

Like I said, Neofin Blau. It's only for slow films though. As in <100ISO.
Also, DSLR scanning and luminosity masks help too.

How the hell have I never heard of those jobo roller processors

Is there any reason at all to not buy a second hand one

>>3076447
There's no eye control autofocus on the Nikon.
Also there's no 11mm lense, no 50/1, no AF 50/1.2, no 85/1.2, no 65mm MPE equivalent, no af pancake, no first party stabilised f/2 lense.
No option to delete the battery grip, nowhere near as quiet, no IR remote release, no built-in flash, incompatible with current flashes.
I'm sure there are more reasons, but that's what I've got.

My F5 makes the same amount of noise as the canon, I have an ML-3 wireless remote, built in flash is not needed, it's compatible with current flashes.

If you have the MF-28 rear back, the F5 can do anything you want.
