Film General Thread, aka FGT.
>PICTURE EDITION (try harder this time)
Lets see the snapshits. There are 36 frames to a roll; I know you're taking snapshits of walls and buckets and reflections in between the masterpieces, lets see them.
Next time you want to call someone a faggot or tell someone to post in the gear thread, add pic unrelated.
I want to get a better pic/post ratio than the RPT.
Lets make the FGT great again.

>just posting in the FGT doesn't make you gay, unless you use a skylight filter

This is the thread for all of your stupid film questions, and to post your film snapshits without flushing them down the RPToilet.
It's OK to ask about film gear in this thread.

Well I believe most FD Canons meter off the focusing screen, and I've never had a problem even with slides wide open.
I suspect issues that might come into play, depending on the lense and camera, is that a very strong vignette wide open, compounded by less than great transmission or flare properties on these super-speed lenses, combined with a metering pattern that might weight some segments of the frame more heavily than others, can result in strange metering.
But >>2888692 was intentionally underexposed, because I didn't want to go slower than 1/15 and I knew the film could handle it.

Because you're using a 20 year old CCD scanner and grainy film. Upgrading one or both of those things will probably help you.

god dammit, I am on my work computer so I don't have any full sized scans to post. Having to grab them from instagram.

The roll inside was from the previous night so I had been shooting it at iso 1600. Forgot the whole day that I had the meter on 1600 so all my shots were overexposed by 2 stops. Managed to save them a bit in post. Just goes to show how resilient Tri-X can be to overexposure.

Also, is the Canon 50mm f1.4 LTM a high or low contrast lens?

When you shoot tri-x at 1600, you are underexposing, mongo.
Also, high and low are relative terms.
Relative to an 80's 35-70, it's a high contrast lense.
Relative to the 18/2.8 in the GR, it's a low contrast lense.

I typed the wrong thing not once, but twice, that's my bad. I knew it was underexposing, I blame this god forsaken night shift.

Here is another from the same walk but with a different camera on correct meter settings. I posted this one in the other FGT but its the only other scan I have on this comp.
>>
>>2888796

Nothing wrong with the scanner. It's better than ANY flatbed scanner of today. And it's from 2003 faggot.

>>2888793

APX-400 is grainy stuff. All iso 400 black and white films are grainy in 35mm. And your scanner is very sharp.
>>
>>2888793
it's not because they're highlights, it's because the sky is smooth and detail-less which accentuates grain. in film, shadows have more grain and highlights less grain in general

literally could not be more wrong. highlights hold more grain in b&w negatives. if your shadows are really grainy its noise from your scanner accentuating a tiny tiny amount of grain that might or might not be there

Choice of two labs near where I live. Which one would you use?

First one uses Fuji Frontier SP-3000 and scans at 1800x1200px which is the maximum size they can do apparently.

Second one uses Noritsu QS 32 and scans at 1500x1000px which is their normal resolution. You can pay more for high resolution scans which are 3000x2000px but it costs twice as much.

Both labs charge £7 for developing + scanning to a CD.

There's another lab which also uses the Frontier and they only charge £4, but it's quite far from where I live.

Jesus Christ mate.

Max Spielmann uses the Frontier and an independent place called Advanced Photo uses the Noritsu.

There's an Asda which is about a 20 minute drive from where I live which also uses the Frontier and only charges £4.

All three places do it same day or within the hour if it's not busy.

I've always feared slide to due it's more finicky nature but I think shooting c41 for so long has made me become a bit lazy with trying to nail exposures. Plus, I've been seeing some fantastic stuff with Provia lately. Nail in the coffin was finding out reciprocity failure doesn't kick in until 4 minutes during long exposures.

I actually haven't even tried the 150 yet, hopefully next weekend. I've only owned the camera for a few weeks so far but I picked up a full kit of lenses since KEH was practically giving them away. Also, by chance do you have any experience with the prisms? I'm thinking of picking up a speed grip plus just the cheapest unmetered 90 degree prism, I think it would help me focus more accurately with portraits and stuff where the DoF isn't very deep.

Anyways I've been meaning to post a few photos now that I've been getting settled in with using this camera. I bought a whole bunch of different films to try them out, here's Delta 100 which seemed nice enough but I'm not sure why I would keep it on hand when I'm already used to Acros 100 and I don't really need two ISO 100 T-grain films.

Arista Edu 400. Seems kind of abnormally grainy compared to Tri-X but I guess it's sort of gritty looking and also a little bit cheaper.

I had a prism but the moment I got a WLF I never put it on again. Do you have a split focus screen in the camera? I find that more than adequate to hit critical focus when using the WLF. Is this your first experience shooting with a WLF? After awhile you'll get the hang of it and will become surprisingly quick to focus (assuming you have a split focus screen).

>>2889345
This is a nice shot by the way,and I completely agree with your sentiment. For 100 speed black and white there's no substituent for Acros.

I do have a split prism screen, maybe I'll just give it a shot and see how it goes. I'm just a bit worried because the DoF is always surprisingly thin. The WLF is great to use just for composing and I appreciate the size and weight savings of not having a prism, but it's kind of a pain when you have to actually use it for critical focusing with the magnifier.

Seconding this request. I've got 2 rolls of Provia. I'm going to load one in my F100, which I don't think will have any issue metering, but I'm not so sure about my FM2. I know to watch out for bright light sources, or compensating for shade but...

Is the contax g2 really such a huge step up from the g1?

I recently snapped up a completely mint functional g1 body for 30 bucks and plan on snapping up that beautiful 45/2 planar and probably the 90mm sonnar and then eventually the 21mm biogon

Is it really worth it to grab a g2 body instead of another beautiful g lens?

Glass before body always my friend.

>>2889442
Well sheit that does it. I'm really lucky this g1 I got is a green label then. The only lens I cant use is the 35-70

It's just weird seeing g2's go for like 600 dollars and g1's go for ~80

Howdy /fgt/, shot, dev'd, and scanned another roll today. Print making is on the schedule tomorrow. This series is coming along slowly but nicely. By winter I should have a good collection of images for a show or small book. I've continued to promise a thread but I'm lazy, and high most of the time, so who knows when that will be.

I got a Konica Auto S2 rangefinder about 3 months ago and I was only able to develop the photos that I took using it last week. It turned out that a lot of the photos that came out are not in focus.

If I can remember correctly, I was able to focus them properly. But I cannot say that I am an expert since I am used to focusing with the split focusing screen of the slr and not with the rangefinder focusing.

For the record, the photos that were out of focused was focused on infinity. Is there a possibility that it is a problem of the camera itself? Also, I was shooting with expired film (exp. date 2012). Does that matter?

I see this style of colouring in film photography all the time. Slightly washed out, but still nice warm tones and detail.

How do I achieve this look? Is it basically just overexposing slightly or is it something in the edit/film used?

All of my photographs look quite contrasty and I never feel like they have that 'magical' analogue warmth and depth.

100% editing. Film scans require post production just like digital files do. Stopping where your scanner leaves you is the same as leaving digital images as-is straight out of the camera.

Here's some more examples of what I mean but in a different styles. Really warm tones but nice and soft at the same time.

I think this guy just shoots with Superia and different compacts so it's not like any magical film/camera combination that's doing it. It's all in the edit.

It's just overexposed colour negative film. Overexpose by 1 stop or so and you'll get the same results.

It looks the best with Portra 400 imo, but you can use pretty much any colour neg film. Load a roll of film, but instead of setting your ISO to the box set it to one stop slower (so 400 film you do at 200, 200 film you do at 100 etc). Have it developed at box speed. Voila! Easy peasy

The results will be slightly washed out, lots of shadow detail and very smooth tones.

>>2889483
Not totally correct. You need to overexpose the film in the first place to get the shadow detail

But how do I get the warmth? It's almost like the shadows aren't ever 100% black but are like a really warm grey instead.

My shadows tend to look like a dark deep blue or just complete black. Is it just a case of lightening all the shadows and adding a warning filter?

Here's one of my photographs if anyway wants to have a play. This wasn't edited much apart from a crop/perspective correction. Vibrancy was lifted slightly.

An easel is a tool you use to hold the paper flat and create a sharp bordered frame. I use something like pic related. It's a nice convenience and really helps with ensuring the paper is in the same place every time.

These prints are nice for a beginner. If you like it, keep at it, it can be extremely rewarding, especially if you step up to medium format. If you don't know what that is, just start googling.

>This wasn't edited much apart from a crop/perspective correction.

Stop tossing the film into the scanner and crossing your fingers that the scanner gives you a file you like. Manually adjust the curves before scanning to give you a relatively flat image with no clipping of the shadows and highlights. Then take that image into post and play with curves, bumping the reds a bit to give more warmth and pulling the black point to avoid the black shadows.

You could also use the white balance dropper in the curves dialogue and click around on areas of the image that you feel are close to neutral grey. Sidewalks are usually a good candidate for this (and that's what I did in the attached photo + bumped the red channel a bit afterwards).

I don't do my own scanning, so I'm kind of stuck there. I might start scanning the ones I like with my DSLR. I just ordered a sheet of opal acrylic.

The only problem is I've only got a Nikon D80 which doesn't have live view and is only 10MP. Is this still okay to make scans from?

I guess it's better than what I get from the lab which is 1800x1200 scans.

I heard that the Norwegian police had ordered a bunch of FM2s that were modified to where they exposed half frame.

Can you imagine giving one of those to your understudy with film preloaded and confusing them when they look through the viewfinder and see half of it blacked out with their photos halfway exposed? That'd be amusing.
>>
>>2889533
Yeah and the lack of histogram. It'll be achievable but annoying. Once you get your focus and exposure nailed you'll be able to run through them much quicker

Can someone hook a brother up with a ColorPerfect serial / crack?

>>2889533
Dunno why the lack of live view would matter. Once you get the exposure and focus set you don't even really need to look at the camera other than to push the shutter.

The SP 3000 is a great scanner. The only problem is most labs don't have a clue how to use it and just scan your negatives on a preset with harsh contrast + sharpening which ruins your images.

http://jacandheath.com/self-scanning-fuji-frontier-sp-3000/
>>
>>2889679
Does it have the ability to output at greater than 300DPI? Because 1840x1232 is pitiful resolution and makes editing so much harder. They call that 'Hi-Res' which is laughable.
>>
>>2889692
it is hi res, whatchu talkin' bout fool?
>>
>>2889693
maybe 30 years ago
>>
>>2889693
I don't understand, you can get cheap home scanners which do 4800 DPI but this lab can't get anything more than thumbnail-quality images from a pro-grade machine?
>>
>>2889695
They could, they just wont because it takes more time to get high res images. You get what you pay for. Pro Labs will give you amazing scans but you'll pay for it
>>
>>2889695
Maybe, but that takes time to scan, more space, more memory. Then you gotta write those files to disc, more data is more time.

Chances are the photolab computers/scanners aren't ideal for that.
>>
>>2889692
Yes it does but the labels just scan it through on a preset and that's the highest they can do. If you read the comments in that link I sent across people are scanning them at like 20MP.

You can use custom paper sizes instead of the presets for really high resolution scans. It also doesn't apply the shitty contrast/sharpening that it usually does and gives you a nice flat hi-res file.

The only issue is most high-street labs don't have a fucking clue and just run it through a normal preset. I even tried explaining it to one of the staff at my local lab and they looked at me like I was speaking a different language.
>>
>>2889696
>>2889697
>>2889698
>:(

So if I got something like an Epson V370 and scanned at 4800 with a flat profile I'd see a big difference? Or I could go into the store and try to get them to scan at high-res without presets?
>>
>>2889700
Flatbeds are garbage for 35mm. Either DSLR scan or get a dedicated scanner (Kodak Pakon F135, any of the old dedicated Nikon Coolscans or Canon Canoscans, or the Plustek OpticFilms are good)
>>
>>2889701
Are there any which wouldn't break the bank? I don't really have the money to blow hundreds and hundreds on a scanner.
>>
>>2889705
If you have a DSLR just use that. If you get it right you'll beat most scanners under $1000

Otherwise look at some of the older Plustek models. 7200, 7400, 7600, 8100, 8200 and 8200ai

Can be had for $150 upwards depending on model.

The cheapo things you get when you search "film scanner" on eBay aren't worth purchasing. Worse than the scans you're currently getting.

You could always go to a better lab to get your film done? There are a number of great mail in professional labs in the US. I know of a few in Australia too if that's where you're located
>>
>>2889707
>Plustek
These look like what I'm looking for, though a lot of people are complaining about software and suggesting buying Vuescan which is almost as expensive as the scanner.

>You could always go to a better lab to get your film done? There are a number of great mail in professional labs in the US. I know of a few in Australia too if that's where you're located
I'm in the UK and unfortunately there aren't any photo shops in a 20-mile radius apart from Max Spielmann.

>buying

just torrent it my pal, the torrents are everywhere
>>
>>2889715
Good point. Okay, well looks like I'll get myself a Plustek.
>>
>>2889716
Let us know how that goes for you. I recently got one cheaply on a local buy/sell fb page and I'm pretty happy with it. Scans take a little while but I just leave em in the background while I watch netflix or browse 4chan. Just gotta manually move the negative carrier once every few minutes. I'll be posting in a week or so once I've got everything dialed in, overall I'm pretty happy with it.
>>
>>2889716

Canon FS4000US and Minolta Scan Dual IV are also excellent scanners. Better than Plusteks as they have focus. But you cannot get drivers beyond XP for those.

if you want warmth just put up the warmth slightly, use colour balance, to take the colours out of blue and into the yellows and reds. also a simple s curve helps with the shadows and highlights, gives a better contrast

Trip to oxford shot on provia and x-processed. using a cosina csm and a sunagor 28mm, i think i paid twice as much for the film as i did for the gear.

Luckily I work in a camera shop so I can dev my stuff for free. Unluckily the processor/scanner are so poorly maintained and nobody really knows how to operate them properly. Im going to have to bite the bullet and send the negs away to a pro lab or buy my own scanner ;_;

you don't need to buy a spot meter if you don't have one, just get used to how your meter works and compensate when shooting scenes with bright light by exposing 2 or 3 stops above what it recommends
>>
>>2889874
Crop out the bottom 2/5 and you have a really cool photo. Nobody wants to look at some woman's fat ass when there's more interesting stuff going on elsewhere in the frame, but because the figures are the most defined shapes they're very distracting.

Some lab scans with Agfa Vista 200.

First time I've ever used a polariser, I might use it all the time now. I like the way my sky actually has definition and isn't just blown out. I think it might even make the tones nicer as well.

Any C&C?

>>
>>2889946
if you own a spot meter, then sure, use it
I'm just saying its not necessary to buy one because the metering mistake of backlit subjects is easily correctable if you pay attention


>Also what you side so I should use the exposure compensation
no, I didn't say that. I'm saying pay attention to the lighting and make the correction yourself, its not hard

I have just developed and digitalized this film. This was my first ever take on developing film and using my Nagel 18 camera.

The white srip is there because a friend of mone opened the primed film container attached to the camera.

First see if any of your relatives have a camera they do not use. Most cameras I have were a gift, because relatives and friends never used them. Also chceck if everything works before buying a canera ... open the back, set the fasters f-stop and see if the shutter works as you set the speeds. Decide whether you want to shoot medium format or 35mm.
>>
>>2890307
never used gimp but photoshop is definitely worth downloading, its pretty much an essential for photography
>>
>>2890311
Well, I use Linux exclusively, on which photoshop does not work. I doubt Adobe will ever support anything but windows.

Adobe has a Photography package that bundles Photoshop and Lightroom together for $10 a month if that's your thing.

>>2890313
i just use photoshop, im pretty sure it does everything lightroom does and more?

is there any benefits of lightroom? apart from maybe work flow
>>
>>2890317
Lightroom as you said offers an easier workflow.

Ontop of that it's also a great cataloguing tool.


I find it's more focused on editing Photo's rather than much manipulation of the image. I'm sure you can do the same thing in both but it comes down to how adobe presents those tools for you to use.


I'm not the best with Lightroom but I'm slowly learning it.

Another one.
Shot at f/5.6 @ 1/60
shot at boxed speed at ISO 200 Kodak colorplus expiration 2012 (don't know what month).
I used a light meter in my phone for this exposure.

Are the colors like this because the film is already expired? Also, I thought Konica Auto S2 has a sharp lens and this one doesn't seem to have.

some SLR lenses are weird and let you focus past infinity, meaning if the focus is turned 100% it will by blurry, and you have to back it up a hair to get infinite focus. maybe its the same issue?

Rangefinder focus mechanism can be misaligned too.
My Electro 35 GSN focuses well past infinity, but it's easily fixed. The Auto S2's focus design looks very similar.

You just loosen the (3 I think it was?) small screws on the focus ring, and then you can move it around to where you want it.

so i noticed a crack on the top part of my pentax today, no idea how or when it happened but im pretty pissed

it somehow dislodged from the front screws holding the top on and cracked up the side, i have been careful with it ever since i got it but i guess shit happens

i have ordered a precision screwdriver set to attempt to fix it, but in the mean time will this crack (pictured) have any effect on my photos?

thanks

How else will you drive up the price and sell out of cameras that other people may actually want to shoot?

Put your lens in a cup and take a long exposed picture. If it's pitch black then everything should be alright, if there is light you have a light leak. Get a Fuji either way to be sure.

Never done it, but I think you have to disassemble all the stuff on the top to remove it and get access. Probably best left alone if you're not handy. Maybe others here have more experience with it.

Put some black tape over just to be sure. It's probably fine but I know a few cameras have little internal curtains in the viewfinder you can snap on for long exposure photography, so presumably a small amount of light can leak in from around that area. Better safe than sorry.
>>
>>2890420
Fine grain because the film is slow and large (ISO 100 and 6x6) plus I added a pretty steep curve which crushed the blacks a bit which probably hid a lot of grain in the shadows. When I get home later I can post the raw scan which is flatter and probably a bit more grainy.
>>
>>2890446
>>2890439
I'm gonna sell it on eBay and just state that it's in 'great condition for a 30+ year old camera'.

By the way does your shutter release not pop back up until you wind the film on? It's almost like it's taking a really long exposure and it won't pop back up until you advance the film. Surely that isn't normal.

>>
>>2890443
Well um, where is the fungus at? If it doesn't require disassembling (unless you can put it back together again) then go for it. However it it's not in the way of the lens at all than you don't really need to clean it since it won't affect image quality.

>>2890487
Sell it for even more currency if you really want to. I'd kill for a compact with a faster aperture (only have a 880 Date and 3.5 is maximum).

Go for a XA if you want to take a ride on the wild side of life.

You mean using expired films?
They are way cheaper than fresh films. Like $1/roll. Fresh films start at $3/roll here. I don't live in the US so having films shipped here from Amazon, B&H etc. will incur additional cost.

bruh. read my full post

how would I know 100% what's wrong with your camera? it was just a guess. you need to do some testing to figure it out

try this: buy a test roll of sharp film, take a shot with the focus at infinity. then, back it up a hair and take the same shot. write down what order you do it in. do that 5 or 10 times, get the roll developed, and then compare the pictures.
>>
>>2890664
your actual issue is misaligned rangefinder

if you want to verify, move the focus tab on your lens to infinity and point your camera at something VERY far away, more than 5 blocks. You'll see that this "infinitely away" object isn't actually aligned at inifinity in your rangefinder patch. once you've verified this is indeed the problem, you need to align it. hopefully it's easy on your camera
>>
>>2890705
>how would I know 100% what's wrong with your camera? it was just a guess. you need to do some testing to figure it out

Damn it. I should have known the faggot seller is trying to trick me. He said many times that the camera is in perfect working order and it has no problems.

>try this: buy a test roll of sharp film, take a shot with the focus at infinity. then, back it up a hair and take the same shot. write down what order you do it in. do that 5 or 10 times, get the roll developed, and then compare the pictures.

I meant using a rangefinder camera. What are the actual benefits over a regular SLR? They seem much less reliable.

>>
>>2890743
>I meant using a rangefinder camera. What are the actual benefits over a regular SLR? They seem much less reliable.

I'm sorry. English isn't my first language. Same here with >>2890411 >>2890705 since I was not able to get what they mean.

For me I got the rangefinder because I want to try it and since it has a sharp lens (supposed to be).

I already have an OM-1 and I kind of regret purchasing a rangefinder.

>Same applies to compacts like >>2890487

I also plan on buying a compact but I was turned of by their price and seeing how many users here have problems with them. I think it's because compacts are easier to use and much smaller than a film slr. No idea why they cost too much like $100 up since a 5 year old digital compact camera can probably be had for less and you don't have to spend money for film.
>>
Have any famous 35mm photographs ever been taken on an SLR?

The majority of famous images seem to be taken on a rangefinder, is there a reason for this? I suppose Daido uses compacts but I can't think of a popular film photographer who exclusively shoots SLR.

I've tried using rangefinders and I really don't like them. They seem a lot more cumbersome than an SLR, but I've only ever used fixed lens ones like the Canonet, Yashica Electro.
>>
>>2890754
Because they were one the first type of camera available. The majority of pioneering photographers didn't have a choice and so used a rangefinder – mainly Leicas and stuck with them.

Nowadays they're much less popular because SLRs are almost better in every way.

Lots of SLRs in photojournalism, especially in places that are less than comfy like warzones. Very reliable in a way most rangefinder aren't, you won't bump a mirror or focusing screen out of sync like you can with a rangefinder alignment. I love and use both, but there are definitely pros and cons on both sides.

Don McCullin used Olys, and famously Nikons. Pic related his Nikon F literally stopped a bullet, SLRs are cool. He explains it a bit in link below, fascinating bloke and an unbelievable photographer.

Oh shut the fuck up about "photojournalism" and "warzones" you're not even 20 years old, you know nothing about rangefinder alignment issues from personal experience, you're just typing to see yourself type. You also obviously don't understand physics or the concept of a glancing blow, but I'll let you in on a secret, a stack of paper can literally stop a bullet, and more pocket bibles have stopped bullets than cameras, so that Nikon F story you read about on petapixel AINT THAT FUCKING EXCITING.

Never shot film before in my life. Picked up a used Nikon FE2 to try it out. Using a Nikon 50mm f/1.2 AI-S that I already own with it.

So in my first roll, literally zero out of 36 shots came out in what I would call acceptable focus.

Even on photos where the subject was still and I spent a good couple seconds fiddling with the focus until it looks sharpest in the viewfinder, it came out completely out of focus. The camera has a B2 matte focusing screen (not split prism).

What am I doing wrong? Likely it's user error, but I'm really stuck at how I can improve my hit rate.

And no, I didn't use f/1.2 for most of my shots.

I kinda feel you. I have a Canonet that I love - the glass is great, leaf shutter is great, the silence of it is a huge plus.
But focusing is a bitch. Sometimes it gets me ages to get those two "squares" aligned, sometimes I just don't see them at all. And I'm really afraid of using zone focusing.
>>
>>2890810
Maybe your FE2 needs calibration?
Maybe try getting a split focusing screen, personally I love using them.
>>
>>2890816
to be fair, the canonet is superimposed focusing only. Nicer rangefinders have superimposed AND split focusing at the same time which massively speeds up focus times.

I focus was quicker on my Leica than I do on any of those fixed lens rangefinders from the 70s.

nikon fm-2 with 105mm f2.5 ai-s and kodachrome 64. classic combo

don't know why the version with noise reduction and lower saturation is so popular. it's like mcurry edited it to look digital when he stopped using film. the original looks so much nicer

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, at least my Canonet has a focusing patch - I thought that it count;s as a kind of a split focusing mechanism.
Anyway - I find it kinda hard to use as the patch can be almost invisible sometimes.
>>
>>2890825
Basically the focusing patch on these things are vague and the image doesn't go all the way to the edge and they have bad contrast.

Try out a Leica. It is a sharp, crisp, clear square that the image inside extends all the way to the edge of. You basically look at a line, get the focus close with the edge of the patch then use the superimposed image to do fine focusing.
>>
>>2890828
>Try out a Leica
Sure, If I get a hold of one. Unfortunatelly I can't spare so much money on a camera.
>>
>>2890823
kodachrome has almost no grain and small contrast, this is some butchered up version with some weird edit
>>
>>2890823
>>2890849

Maybe it was Kodachrome 200.
>>
>>2890830
oh yea, I didn't mean go off and buy one, if you happen upon one in a camera store or another photographer has one, try it out. You will INSTANTLY see the difference with the patch. It is just this bright white patch with super sharp edges visible from almost all angles. It blew my mind the first time I tried one compared to my Minolta HiMatic.

the Zeiss Ikon ZM, Konica Hexar RF, Minolta CLE and Bessa R line all have similar patches to Leica,
>>
>>2890861
I owned an M3 for a while which is supposedly the best rangefinder patch of any Leica, and sure it beat the fuck out of the shitty Canonets and Yashicas I had used before but I still wasn't exactly blown away. I guess rangefinders just aren't for me because I found that much less intuitive compared to just having an SLR image where you can actually see things come into focus even without using any focusing aids.
>>
Does the cancan 9000F mike produce good results? Any other cheap scanners i should rather get?
>>
>>2890898
I had an 8800F and it was pretty shit, I wouldn't recommend it. Now I have an Epson V550 and it's a lot better for medium format. I still wouldn't recommend any flatbed for 35mm though, if you're only doing 35mm you should probably just get a Plustek film scanner and there may be a few of those used for pretty cheap on ebay.
>>
>>2889975
I can attest to this
I mainly use Colorplus 200 and it's atypically warm
>>
>>2890861
Hmm okay. Maybe I shouldn't judge rangefinders from my experience. But they seem to be such a luxury item. In order to get one that is easy to focus, has good glass etc.

SLRs are so much cheaper. I can get a Nikon FE and a 50mm for under £100.

I'm thinking on buying film. I'm considering one of these
K1000
Ae1
X700
Can you guys help me? I don't really know much about film

The YE35 is the best/worst rangefinder I've ever used. It has a light seal issue that only appears in certain photos (don't know what that's all about) but aside from that and the impending doom of the PoD it has been good to me. Metering system works in a pinch and the lens is fairly sharp.

Are you the same person I called a faggot in the compact thread for paying that much for one? It's not shit, you're shit. Use it for portraits, thank me later.
>>2890754
Have any popular military uprisings in the third world ever employed the AK-47 as their primary weapon?
>>2890823
The newer one is probably just a better scan. Having so much more shadow info to work with would definitely change your PP choices.
>>2890959
Google can probably help you.
However, I would suggest the AE-1, as lenses are cheaper and more readily available, and it's a very easy camera to work with.
>>
>>2890992
>Use it for portraits, thank me later.

What, with the flash? In an Uncle Terry style? How is a 35mm lens good for portraits?

The lens has a bit of distortion and is soft/vignettes in the corners. It's an okay camera but it's nothing special. Don't really get the hype about it. Doesn't even make a good street camera. Missed focus on moving subjects and it's noisy as fuck.
>>
>>2891050
>a lense is noisy
why would I listen to your opinion when you're clearly a moron
>>
>>2891061
I don't mean grain noise. I mean noisy as in the camera is loud when the shutter fires and winds on. Making it totally not-discreet for shooting street photography.

what features do you need? Shutter speed, x sync, shutter release, hotshoe. What focal length do you shoot the most with and can easily find a lens for the system.

Finding a film slr isn't hard, it's simply a matter of picking what you need.
>>
>>2891199
I've never had a camera, so I really don't know.
>>
>>2891199
Can you tell me if any of them is outstanding in any way
>>
>>2891244
F3 is the greatest camera ever made, AE-1 is a plastic piece of shit overhyped by hipsters who don't know any better just because it's a Canon, K1000 is decent, Minolta is generally pretty decent.
>>
>>2891248
I'm between getting f3 or xd11 or fm and x700 together. F3 is the most expensive ( 100%) more than any of them. I'm just not sure if it's worth it.
>>
>>2891269
K1000, srt 101, xd11 and fm seem most appealing. I would get x700 with any of them because it simply looks fucking sick.
>>
>>2891093
In terms of lens choice I'd go with K1000. There are thousands of cool M42 lenses out there with their own quirks, and they're ridiculously cheap.

Or if you have a DSLR, go with that mount to make your life easier.
>>
>>2891365
Alright, I'm going out to check some shops then. Cheers
>>
>>2891429
Yeah, got nikon fm with 50mm for 160£ with 3 months warranty. The other ones were just too big and heavy. Plus I got agfa Vista, precisa and apx. Any help what else can I get for it?

Hey, need some advice.
My Minolta srt-102 is acting up and I started to look for replacement.
I really like her sturdy metal buils so I thought that natural step up would be getting an XE-7. But then I did some reading on XD-7 and people claim that it's even better. The thing is that to buy XE-7 I would have to import it from abroad (additional cost) and XD-7's sometimes pop up in my country.
I'm looking for something in MD system because of the glass that I already have.
