Has anyone tried using the Unicolor C-41 Film Development Kit? Can it really be stretched to 30 rolls? Is it really as toxic as the label says? Any recommended alternatives?
>>6204
Yeah. I looked at Tetenal on B&H. I can't seem to get it shipped. It's only available for in store pickup. Also it seems to have a prop 65 warning on it.

With HP5 it gives you one more stop to play with, and a little more contrast without ruining skin tones.

Hello what is good replacement battery for SP 675 mercury cell?
>>6203
I bet if you did all your rolls in a week you could stretch it, but casually deving over a longer period of time deteriorates the blix (I heard somewhere the developer can last longer but cause the blix is mixed it doesn't last as long) reheating the chemicals deteriorates them. I usually get my deving done in a day or two (10-12 rolls) then chuck it and mix a new one for my next set of rolls. Depends how much colour you shoot and honestly I haven't looked into it cause it's way fucking cheaper then going to a lab even only doing 12 rolls a box of Chem. supposedly the results you get back won't plummet as the chem deteriorates so if you have 30 rolls to dev, mix up your chem and keep deving till you get declining results. Like I said still cheaper then a lab if you have a dev tank, a thermometer and a sink.
>>6210
For what camera, I'd just google it desu, I got this.
What's the best light meter app for Android? They all seem like they have retarded clunky UIs and are plastered with ads, are there any decent ones that I'm missing?
>>6212
Its old cosina and i did some googling and seems like i need a cell that provides 1.35 V.

>>6214
Tbh it might be easier to get a different camera, I've used zinc air batteries on a Konica C35 and it worked fine, I think the meter read a little over so I just compensated with the iso setting. That was a while ago though. sorry not much help.

About the slow film, I was thinking of bringing a tripod and doing a long exposure.
Should I stick with velvia then, or do you have other slide suggestions?
I'll shoot the negative stuff first while i'm getting the hang of it since its so cheap, and make sure to use the flash if i'm going to any depth at all
Here's one from my point and shoot Yaschica with Carl Zeiss lens.
>>6222
goddamn, that is some beautiful color, what film?
You know, I got a question for you /p/:
Is it true still that you shouldn't travel and put your film rolls through the x-ray scanner? I apologize for my ignorance but I heard somewhere that it either messes up the film or something (urban myth or legend probably)
I ask because I've been thinking of bringing just film gear on a vacation for comfy feels. Thanks in advance.

>"must shoot" film in 35mm
Agfa Precisa, Fuji Velvia, Provia, Superia (all speeds), Tri-X/HP5, Rollei Retro 80S. These films are all available new, and can give really stunning results. In 120, grain and sharpness don't really matter so much, so just shoot whatever gives you the colours or contrast you like.
>>6235
Hey! Thanks a lot! I'll look into those lenses and look around for those films. I''m Chicagoland based so I got options, and I believe if I look around LA and San Diego I'll find shops that carry that or some rare films as well!
Cheers!

Your pic related is a 2 liter kit. It is good for a decent bit more than 30 rolls. I've easily run 50 rolls through the same kit, though it carried the Unicolor label. And that is over a year and a half time span. Chems stored in plastic soda bottles, air squeezed out after each use. This shit is indestructible, no lie.
As to the toxicity, there are no c41 chems that are going to be less toxic. That said, treat these chems as you should treat any photo chems: use common sense and you will come to no harm. Incidental contact with the working solutions won't hurt you. I've been using the same microwave that I eat out of to heat the chems for the last 5 years and I feel better than ever. Do some research on how to dispose of the blix.
Come to think of it, I still have a 2 liter kit I mixed up around June 2015 sitting poorly stored in my closet. It has about 40 rolls through it. I will blow off a roll of Ultramax this week and see if it still works. All for you /p/ :)
>>6241
I have a 28mm 2.8 in great condition. $50 shipped and it's yours.
Pic related and >>6234 was shot using it.
Questions from a film beginner:
Pic related - kodak colorplus 200 35mm, cheap lab scan
Would a better scan improve the image sharpness e.g. the door or is it inherently like this due to the cheap film used?
Also I notice that when shooting plants hey have a sort of "wet" look like in the bush of pic related. Is there an explanation for it?
>>6240
For someone who doesn't have their hands on a kit, can you answer a few more detailed questions?
What's the basic rundown of the process? There's heating involved, as I can see from your post.
Is it easy to fuck up? I'd love to grab the E-6 kit but E-6 film is so expensive and most of my shit is no-longer-produced expired stuff. Don't want to ruin it making retard mistakes or messing up shit that requires fine tolerances and meticulous attention to detail.
>>6242

HEY FAGGOTS GUESS WHAT I SHOOT FUCKING FILM HAHAHA NO ONES GONNA STOP ME
I wish I could shoot with film, but I don't want to wait for development and I do not have access to a dark room.
>>6244
My comments above concern only the c41 kit. I have also used the liquid e6 kit from Freestyle, but I can't comment on yield or longevity because I don't shoot enough e6.
As to a process rundown for c41: plastic tank (better insulator), I do not use a water bath, heat chems in the microwave, 107F Blix, 103F Dev, prerinse tank with steady running water at ~104 for about a minute, when Dev drops to 102F pour into tank, 3:30 for fresh chems, agitate first 30secs then 2 inversions every 15 secs, pour out, dev will have lost 2 degrees in the process which is totally fine, no rinse, pour in blix, agitate first 30 seconds and routinely thereafter to a total of 8-10 mins. Pour out blix, rinse in running ~100F tap water for 3 minutes, then rinse in a bath of either photoflo or Flexicolor final rinse (FUCK that stabilizer that comes with the kit. Leaves crusty white shit all over the film.)
I've yet to ruin a roll of film with this method. I have underdeveloped, overdeveloped, undertemped, overtemped, it all comes out in the scan (within reason). And since there ain't nobody still doing c-prints with an enlarger, minor variances in development does. not. matter. It will all come out in the scan.

Guess film isn't for you then.
You don't need a darkroom btw.
Forgive me if I fuck up the names of some of the below items, but I'm super new to photography. To the point, though. I came into a lot of gear recently from my aunt who used to shoot professionally. A pair of Nikon F100 bodies (plus another lower-end camera that escapes me), a Sigma 28-90mm D AF Aspherical lens, a Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di, and another telephoto which I can't recall the name of right now as it's upstairs someplace, as well as a nice tripod with pistol grip and some lighting gear. Meters, flashes, spotlights, that sort of thing. I bought some (7 rolls) drugstore Kodak Ultramax and Fuji Superia Xtra 400 to sort of get into the learning process. Problem is, I have no idea where to start with any of this stuff. I have a bare-minimum understanding of technical terms, so be gentle. What do I need to know and what should I keep in mind when I'm starting out?
>>6264
Do you know how exposure works?
>>6265
To an extent, but not anywhere near 100%. If I'm not way off, I grasp that film speed is the sensitivity of the film itself to light, shutter speed determines how long your aperture stays open and that the F Stop determines how wide it opens. As I understand it, you balance those two to get a good amount of light for a clear shot (I think the F100 assists in balancing as well) but I'm lost beyond that. Also, I should note that I haven't finished reading my user manual - figured I might need some more basic info before the depth of customization really makes sense to me. A few rereads are probably going to be in order.
>>6264
Grab one F100, put the 28-90mm on it, set the lens at 50mm and leave it there, put camera on P mode, work on focusing and composition and holding the camera still.
Did your aunt give you any darkroom gear, development tanks, chemicals, changing bags, etc? I mean, professionals used to shoot mostly slide back before digital came along, but there's an off chance. Mainly studying photography with film should happen with black and white, and maybe a scanner -- if you don't want to spend on a halfway nice digital compact or some such just to study the basics without the lab turnaround.
>>6252
I know who this is!
>>6267
Can do! I'll actually be going out tomorrow or over the weekend to shoot with a few friends. One of them has experience with film photography so I think he will be able to give a few pointers.
She didn't - if I recall, she had a friend who worked in a local lab (now closed) who would do special processing jobs for her. If I want to avoid drugstore mail-order labs, I think I'm stuck going to a lab that's about a half hour away - totally doable - or investing in development gear and learning to do it myself. I do have a Canon Rebel T4i with two of the bundled lenses on loan from family (indefinitely) that I can use to pick up on focusing and composition in general if that would be helpful, but I'm not on any time crunch as far as learning, so the lab turnaround doesn't really bother me.
>>6269
Immediate feedback ("chimping") is very helpful in the process of trying stupid shit, and you won't have to pay like half a dollar per frame. I'd suggest learning the major technical concepts on the rabble, since they'll be mostly the same on film as well.
On the other hand, the F100 is a lot better body than any rabal. So therein lies the rub. Anyway, if you do end up practicing with film, start taking notes on how you shot once you deviate at all from the "P mode, EC at 0, ISO set correctly" scheme.
Also, don't look at the sun through a SLR finder.
>>6251
If my negatives were developed in a cheap lab, can a good quality scan still make a difference?
>>6271
that has to be the most awkward way to hold a camera ever.
what camera is this?
After exposing colour neg film can you store it back in the fridge for a while before developing? If so how long before you would start to notice loss of quality etc
Im going to yodobashi in a week. What am I in for?

Bronica users, specifically SQ-A, have you ever used a flash with it? I want to try some flash portraits, what would you recommend? I've read that I'll need manual flash and PC sync or using the grip. I was also looking for a trigger to go with the flash.
>>6280
I just use the speed grip and put a flash on it (ETRS)
>>6281
And you have any problems synching? Would a cheap auto speedlite, like those from yongnuo, work? Or does it have to be manual?
>>6282
No, I just use a slow shutter speed, 60 or slower. The one I use for the ETRS is an ancient AGFA flash, it always works. For some reason, my more modern flashes won't fit the hot shoe.

If you are in the states, Advance Auto and Auto Zone sell packs of like ten 14"x12" microfiber cloths for about 5 bucks. Look for them near the car wax section.
>>6299
You absolutely do not need a Jobo unless you plan to process more than 5 rolls a day. A patterson-style tank sized for how many rolls you plan to do at once is all you need. As I said, I do not use any water bath whatsoever with c41. I do, however, fill the sink with hot water when I do e6.
>>6199
Not really a poorfag here but just bought my first house so have other priorities to take care of first.
I want to get into medium format for less than $50 dollars if that is even possible. I would be willing to go up to $100 but I don't want to go much more. I would prefer something where I can control it fully manual. Any recommendations?
>>6303

but i'll check out some auto shops here
why the hell do they have microfiber cloths?

m8 your first two rolls of velvia will cost you more than that once you get them developed.
Ante up or choose a cheaper hobby.
That said, pic related is your best bet.

>>6276
You can, but I wouldn't advise that you do it for more than a year. I usually shoot 15 rolls and then develop them all at once since the chemicals for C41 dev go off pretty quickly, and I just leave the rolls just in room temperature. No problems yet
Modern emulsions are really stable, I wouldn't worry too much about colour shifts unless you plan on leaving the roll a few years
>>6305
Agfa Clack is your best bet. You can choose between two apertures and it doesn't have anything but 1/30s shutter time. So you'll get nothing extra out of MF, but it sure is <100usd

You can pick up a Yashica Mat pretty cheaply, might cost you a little more than $100 but it's worth it. It's a fully featured camera, and pretty much just as good as the Rolleiflex that it's a knockoff of.

Russian piece of shit. You honestly won't find one that's not broken in some way or another.
If you want a cheap rangefinder, buy a Canon P (or if you want a lightmeter, Canon 7). Infinitely better build quality, and you can still use all the leica thread mount lenses you wanted to use on the FED
How does the Epson V600 shatbed hold up nowadays for 120 film? How big a difference in quality between it and the V700/750?
I would prefer the V700/750 but no one on ebay sells them new, and the couple selling used overseas are so overpriced due to shipping cost that I'd be better off spending a bit more and buying a new V800 (I don't want to spend $850 on a scanner atm).
>>6330
I use a V600 for 120 and I'm quite satisfied with the results (for 35mm too). Don't think there's really that much of a difference between those 3 models desu

this. I got laughed at early on in the days of DSLR scanning for some slides I posted but look, now everyone is doing it even camera shops are.
The jig isn't hard to fab up I have a picture somewhere. You'll need an external flash and a sync cord to illuminate the slide from behind. I made the whole thing from a small cardboard box. You will want to use a decent telephoto macro or 55mm macro if you have one.
>>6328
It's shit, that's coming from one of the biggest proponents of Soviet RFs on this board. FED2 is better and was built when the Soviet Union was competing with the United States to prove they could achieve German build quality on Communism without the need for capitalist pigs, and we all know how that ended. After 1970 Soviet QC fell off and went south like the Wehrmacht after getting their asses handed to them on a Mosin-Nagant in Stalingrad.

Realistically what's the biggest you could print with good results?

>DSLR scan
Yeah that's what I'm doing currently, but it's a real pain in the ass taking 6 images per photo then having to stitch them in lightroom, it's fiddly, real time consuming, and depending on what's in the photo it will sometimes refuse to stitch properly.
Since now I only using my dslr for scanning and metering, the idea was to sell it and buy a dedicated scanner along with a small, light and portable camera for metering (and in the off chance I want to shoot digi I can still use that)
>>6335
I don't really print 120, but I can get a usable A3 sized print from a good 35mm scan
>>6335
>taking 6 images per photo then having to stitch them in lightroom
Why in the hell are you doing that? I take a sine photo and then crop. If I ever need to print big I'll go back and rescan with the stock method.
Stitching every shot you scan is madness.

it's a rangefinder with a failure-prone cloth shutter, an acceptable set of shutter speeds and an abysmal viewfinder with zero framing/parallax indication. it's great as an entry level $10 RF to get an idea of rf workflow but that's about it. worth if for that price, completely not worth the bother for more. Everything beyond the shit viewfinder is subjective illogical hatred. you'll need a lightmeter to use it to its full extent, too.

Loaded some freezer stored Sensia 400 that expired in 2009. Going to use it at box speed because my camera only does full stops for ISO. What kind of tones should I expect from this film?
I just noticed something about the prints I got.
So, my local lab only develops colour film and they send in b/w film to a larger company. Normally, they'd just have the film developed there and do the prints themselves if customers (like me) ask for them. But the new guy/intern/whatever fucked up and forgot to write "develop only" on the bag and so the large, factory-style lab added their shitty prints.
I mean, look at this shit. The black bar on the righthand side isn't a wall or something, its the fucking transition to the next image.
I was 100% sure that I stood right in the middle of the hall when I took the shot...

Okay guys, I must be doing something terribly wrong because this is what I'm getting out of DSLR scanning Ektar.
Tips?
My method is basically backlighing the film through a piece of semi transparent plastic with a flash and then I shoot the film using a telephoto lens with an extension tube at around f/11, exposing "to the right".
I surely must be doing something terribly wrong because my scans look like garbage.

DSLR cuck scanner here.
I concur that your neg is parlously underexposed.
Your scan is underexposed too, however.
It's fine to let the sprocket holes blow out, you want to get the neg itself as close to clipping as possible.
Also, working on your raw file, you want to normalise the colour there as much as possible, by adjusting your white balance (if the range of adjustments in your raw converter make this possible) or curves(if necessary). When you need to massively increase the contrast, like in your scan, this will give you less blocking, banding, whatever.
I wouldn't necessarily encourage you to shoot your Ektar at 50, you will get good results if you meter properly for 100. Consistently underrating your film is more like a "hack" that relies on the overexposure latitude of neg film to stop you from underexposing it no matter what fuckery your meter does, but in a lot of scenes you're just throwing away a stop of shutter speed. What camera were you using? A centre weighted meter should have given more exposure in this scene.

Thanks for the detailed answer m8. I'm pretty sure it was an EOS 100/Elan. I was probably using Evaluative (the one that measures the whole viewfinder, not sure what name it's got) which I usually get away with using my dslr but clearly didn't quite work using film...
I've been messing around a bit more and came with a workflow that's giving me some pretty nice (I like them so I'm happy) colors.
Also I see that there is quite a lot of difference in how each of us has scanned my frame. For me obviously the one that looks the best is >>6361 the one I made since I was there and that's what things were looking like (it was -4C and about to snow like crazy, pic related). Is this usually how it's done, by eye?

By the way, is it normal for lab prints to only cover around 90% of the negatives?
I noticed that on the other roll I've had developed as well. To be fair, those prints were only 9x13, so I'm guessing they should naturally have some stuff missing left and right.
But with regular 10x15 prints that shouldn't be the case, right? I noticed that on almost all of the prints; the example in >>6346 is just the most extreme case.
>>6366
I would usually avoid using a matrix-type meter, because you really have no idea what it's trying to do. (what it's really trying to do is stop you blowing out slide film)
The Elan lets you select centre weighted metering, and has an exposure lock button on the back shoulder, that's how I shoot it.
And of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. They're your photos, you decide how they look.

I tired too. I'd say the worst part is that you're letting in stray light on the right side of the negative. Also like everyone else said the negative is underexposed quite a bit. Also we only have a jpg so editing is further fucked.

Also looks like you're getting lens fall off on the wide edges of the negative too, results in a "bokeh" look/ slight vignetting.
Filmfriends, all this time I've been inverting my Paterson universal tank for agitation. But I recently noticed the instructions say "_or_ open tank with lift rod agitation"
Does this mean I can just agitate using the rod? I feel like an idiot, spilling blix all over the place during inversions. What's the best manner to agitate using the rod? Spin in one direction? Forcefully turn left and right?
>>6375
Well m8 I don't think it matters too much just don't attach a fucking drill to it and spin it 1000rpms. I'd imagine a nice left spin right spin would suffice, that's what i've done in the past.

Thanks buddy. I use a Canon FD 50mm macro.
>>6379
Care to elaborate? That was literally my second roll of film I've ever shot.
And it's hardly my fault if the new guy is too dumb to write "develop only" on the bag, even though I even overheard his boss tell him to do exactly that, because he knew the prints would turn out crap.
>>6375
Blix is good for your skin, don't worry about it.
Also, you can properly seal your paterson with some selastiky schmoo, they leak around the join of the red and black plastic, usually the lid is pretty fine.
I always invert because simply rod twirling doesn't induce any top to bottom convection in the chemicals.
Also, I found in my bulk purchased pile of darkroom gear some old design Patersons, they seem much more skookum. All seams to the atmosphere are thickly gasketed. Rinse water doesn't flow freely out of them though.
I realized I'm a idiot because I've been shooting my rz67 without the proper finder mask. Can someone explain to me how to change it?

I'm just saying that processing B&W film is stupidly easy, and getting it done at a lab is the equivalent of buying bottled water. If you're just getting into film don't worry about it
>>6375
The problem you are experiencing is pressure build up in the tank due to the blix reacting with the leftover developer. If you did manage to get your tank to perfectly seal, it will blow the lid off. You can either learn to burp the tank, or do what I do: invert normally in the development stage, and just swirl the tank occasionally in the blix stage. Blix is done to completion, so accurate agitation is not necessary.

Looks like X-500 is the same thing as the X-700 but just with some quality of life improvements.
Am I wrong? Does it lack anything the X-700 has?
>>6396
I'd personally recommend a full manual one like the SRT-101 since I had an XG1 just randomly die on me before. Was decent before that though
>>6401
I know this is heresy, but I was tempted by the P mode on the X-700. I have a basic understanding of how exposure works, but it takes time for me to figure it out. While full manual would be great when I am out shooting by myself, I wouldn't be able to use it when out with my wife if I couldn't shove it into a P mode and not worry. Manual focusing old lenses on my mirrorless already stretches patience.

Nice comeback. The a6000 captured this slide as good as any consumer grade film scanner could do. Tones, shadows and colors match the light table. What part of this bothers you so bad?

>camera no naniwa
I checked their site some more. They have 700s, but no 500s. I will go check local store later today, but I am pretty sure everything is listed on the web.
And I dunno about hard off, but at camera no naniwa the bin is all junk stuff.
Honestly these bodies are so expensive, I am tempted to just get a Minolta a7 so I can use modern a-mount AF lenses.
>>6433
Ask the person working at Naniwa about other used camera stores in the area. They have a little map they can give you showing a few other stores. There's one along the Kamogawa about ~10 minutes away iirc. Have you looked into just buying off yahoo auctions (assuming you live here)?
Here's a Provia 400X scan with 'true colors', maybe? Waiting for Mr. Expert for confirmation.

I'm mostly just kidding because I don't have a darkroom setup for color. I'd love to do some color but then I couldn't print it and I'm too lazy to scan and invert that shit.
>>3049317
No that's a Bessemer converter. Nice photo though, where did you take it?
>>6435
Sadly I have no darkroom at all. I am looking for Black and white too though so thank you
Is this too good to be true?
>in canadian dollars
>seller in Albany, New York
>hasn't sold anything in over a year
>>6436
Whoops, the deleted shot didn't match the light table. Had to adjust. Wouldn't want to not look like Provia.
But as to your question, that Bessemer sits in Station Square in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Sure that's not price per roll? Some sellers are tricky like that.
>>6441
"objets d'art"? They're milestones from the Industrial Revolution. The steam hammer was essential for larger and more streamlined smithing work during the 19th century
>>6442
I don't think so, tempted to just give it a try considering the ebay/paypal refund policy.
>>6443
I won't argue your point. But these little pieces of art are the only thing left of a once great powerhouse of an industrial giant of a city. We are not referred to as rust belt inhabitants for no reason.

What should I check out on a film body before buying?
How do I check it out?
>>6451
What camera? Generally check if light seals are rotten, put a battery in it and see if everything lights up and turns on, check by ear if the slow shutter speeds sound like they're right especially if it's mechanical, check if the shutter curtains are damaged. Mount a lens on it make sure the aperture stops down when the shutter fires.
Light seals rot eventually and replacing them is easy it's not a big deal, walk away from anything with damaged shutter curtains though.

X-500 if I can find one.
I'd trust camera no naniwa's description, but not some other random place if I have to go find one.
>>6453
Ah, you didn't like my cyan skies. I don't blame ya. I reworked and came up with some purples in the bottom which I think I like. In the end, I'm really impressed what can be had from such a cheap film.

I mean everything screams scam but honestly you can't go wrong trying. You spend $9, if you get scammed then you're 100% guaranteed to get your money back from ebay
>>6457
this has been happening since last year or even more. they use more plausible names now, they used shit like chingchong989.58958695 before. yes, you get the money back but whats the point on throwing away money on a boomerang.
>>6458
So what do they actually send you, just a single roll?
>>6459
they send nothing you dummy.
>>6434
This is the Naniwa online listing, had no chance to go today.

Might try tomorrow.

Wait you can refund if you get tricked like that?
I bought expired fucking fujifilm for 5 bucks a roll because in the pic and the title it was about "5 rolls of Fujifilm" but in the huge description that whore wrote that she's selling them individually for the price.
I'm still furious about this
>>6199
>mfw /fgt/ is actually for /fa/gs now
Threadly reminder that HP is SHIT!
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
>>6199
How easy is it to replace this stuff? Do like replacement kits exist for common models? How bad must it get before it is a problem?
And what the fuck is the English word for it?
>>15399
Mirror bumper foam is what you seek. Buy a complete seal kit. Search for Jon Goodman. He used to sell on ebay, but no longer does. As of last year, he still sold kits if you contacted through email. Top quality seals, and they fit perfectly. He is in the states and I am not sure if he ships overseas.
>>6450
>ywn have ultramax in 120
>>15915
thankfully.
>>15399
I get mine from Aki-Asahi. Great price, friendly guy.
There's a pre-cut kit for a ton of different cameras and you get the whole sheet so if you don't mind cutting yourself you can cut out new seals for at least another ~5 cameras.
>>15918
get out

It's the malt plane, baby.

>>16572
i also have that feel
>>16591
It has great colors faugette, its only downside is its excessive grain. on MF that would be eliminated
>>16565
Yea, local store has a bunch listed as モルト劣化 which means Molt degredation. They are extremely cheap, so I assume it is a pain to replace.
Couldn't figure out the English word from molt.
Ultramax is shit. Insane grain.
>>16990
You'll be fine.
What ya'll shooting today? Depending on lighting I'm either pushing Tmax 400 or Provia 400X to 1600.
>>6199
/fa/ here, why is that film in what appears to be a refrigerator?
>>17042
moltopren. its the material of which old lightseals were made of.
>>17050
film has a date of expiry, at which it doesnt die but it starts degrading. you can prolong its useful life if you store it in a cold environment (such as a fridge).
>>17080
Makes sense, very wise.
