today i noticed 1st chink scammer (10x trix for $9.99) got booted from ebay too. i think he even deleted his own account lol.
i just wanted to believe.
oh and btw, yashicas arent memes, the real MF meme is the """"""german""""" pentacon six and their top tier """""zeiss"""""" glass.
Is the Original Olympus M-1 rare? I found it for $75 with lens but I already have an Olympus OM-1 with the same 50mm f1.8 lens.
Should I sell the original M-1 to collectors and keep the OM-1 or should I keep the original M-1 and sell the OM-1 instead?
Thanks!

What makes you so sure it's them and not you?
If you have a lab deving your black and white, you're definitely a rank beginner.
I'd be more inclined to blame some filth in the dusty old camera you pulled out of the bin to shoot with for scratching your film than professionals using professional equipment.
Also, if you can't heal a scratch in the out of focus areas of a black and white photo, there may be no hope for you.
>>2899433
>What makes you so sure it's them and not you?
The scratches are consistent across this roll but not any other with the same camera from a different lab. I don't really have a chance to scratch them myself since I pull them out of the sheet with an antistatic cloth and lay them in the scanner tray, and that's all I do the handling of them. The horizontal nature of them looks like they've been pulled or scraped against something.
> "If you have a lab deving your black and white, you're definitely a rank beginner"
You're not wrong about me being a beginner, however I usually do dev my own film. I didn't this time since I was in the US for an extended holiday (the map in the picture is NYC). I'm from Australia where film development is expensive so I really have no choice but to do my own development.
Also can't be fucked healing every single scratch. On the full size scan there's a heap of much smaller ones, not really worth it for a throwaway image
picked up a bronica ec recently, I stuck a new battery in it but the shutter appears to be stuck in bulb mode. I know that the shutter is electronically controlled for the EC and the battery check light/button doesnt work so I assume that there is an internal problem. Anyone have any ideas for a fix or am I out of luck
>>2899433
>snobbery: the post
* You don't have to develop B&W yourself to be good or a pro.
* Even back when film was the only choice...and much more profitable...dust and scratches were a problem at most labs. Only higher end pro labs did a good job here. Some pros back in the day would only accept dip-n-dunk processing for this reason.
* Cloning out dust and scratches takes time even when you're proficient at it. Much better to not have a scratched neg in the first place.
>>2899382
This place http://olympus.dementix.org/M-1/ says the M-1 is pretty common, but I certainly don't see them very often.
If you don't care about that "M-1" logo on the camera, sell it to someone who does. It'll probably fetch a bit more than just a normal OM-1.
>>2899452
Yeah I don't really care about the logo. I guess some might be willing to shell extra money for it.
If I do keep the M-1 I don't think it has much difference from the OM-1 I used to have since it isn't the MD or the motordrive nor the OM-1n version.
Is 35mm essentially the m4/3 of the analog era? With medium and large format readily available people chose to shoot with 35mm, choosing form factor over image quality. Over the years 35mm became the go to film for it's availability and afford-ability but it was quickly left in the dust by digital, with only medium format film sticking around because of it's price to performance ratio. It's much like m4/3s which became widely popular because of it's size yet isn't very good in the image quality department . Now m4/3s is close to it's death while 35mm is already buried and only visited by hipsters.
That's a run scratch. Check the guides in the camera and maybe make sure theres no sand in the velvet trap of the actual film container. Also if some shit runs some rubber tongs down the film removing water after fixing then it's the lab fuck up.
>>2899484
I own an OM-1, a bit newer as it has the MD thing. I'd personally keep the M-1 DESU if it works as well as the OM-1, maybe it'll be valuable later on. In any event, I think it's cool.
I've never seen an M-1 except on eBay for a silly price. Dunno if it sold tho.
>>2899485
No, they can't really be compared. 110 was maybe closest to m4/3 in a sense. Plenty of cheap shitty bakelite cameras shot medium format, and 35mm was definitely good enough for almost anything.
If people really were about form factor over image quality, aps film wouldn't have failed so hard.
Did I do good?
>>2899532
It's a bit of an eccentric camera for the price you paid
>>2899520
>I own an OM-1, a bit newer as it has the MD thing. I'd personally keep the M-1 DESU if it works as well as the OM-1, maybe it'll be valuable later on. In any event, I think it's cool.
Actually there's is a problem with the M-1. The film advance lever doesn't have the black cover anymore. If I ever sell my OM-1 over this, should I replace the M-1 lever with my own OM-1 lever with the black cover? Pic related.
>I've never seen an M-1 except on eBay for a silly price. Dunno if it sold tho.
How much are they selling it? I got my M-1 for $75 with lens and I can call it a deal if I sold it for $100+ and use the $25+ for some extra films.
>>2899533
They're selling for 70-150 on ebay usually.
>>2899485
>With medium and large format readily available
I have never seen either of these films for sale outside of a few specialist film stores. 35mm allows more exposures and some films (portra 160, ektar 100 and the like) are comparable to their 120 counterparts - as good, no, but good enough in most cases especially if you use a decent prolab and scan to raw. 35mm is just more convenient and you're looking at roughly the same price for a roll of ektar100 120 and 35mm - and you get 3 times the amount of exposures with 35mm. Also hipsters have totally got medium format film wrapped up with their holgas and other lomo toys, no format is immune to hipsters and I don't mind them they keep the demand up. Plenty of people shoot film everyday it's just that most of them live in japan, vietnam, south korea, and russia and it's perfectly normal. Shoot film in the west and you're classified as a hipster.
>>2899537
I'm not going to get into the whole format thing, but honestly, if you're not buying film online, you're doing it wrong.

Try doing dslr scanning before you drop money. You should be able to take some film you already have and gear that I'm assuming you likely already have (well, you might need a light source), and give it a go to see if it works for you.
I want to buy a scanner since photo labs charge too much for high quality scanning and low quality scans are just awful.
I'm thinking about epson perfection v340, it doesn't cost much and the res is 4800dpi (I guess it's enough if I'm not going to make huge prints?)
I used to scan films at my school, we had an old hp photo scanner, it was slow as hell, not the best, but the results were fine to me.
I never used any epson device so any input will be appreciated. also I am going to scan medium format mainly
>>2899862
I'm going to try that, thanks
Dropped my camera and the back opened for 3-4 seconds. Surprisingly many of the photos was not damaged at all, this wasn't one of them obviously.

What is a good brand for safelight bulbs? I'm finally setting up a rudimentary darkroom in my bathroom, and I need to get a light. Should I get a purpose-built safelight or just a bulb and a normal plug-in socket?
>>2899485
35mm was what hobbyists could afford, and what the press could shoot in fast paced situations. Money from both fueled a relatively rapid R&D cycle that led to a lot of improvements in both equipment and emulsions.
MF and LF were for working professionals in any area where IQ mattered.
m43 isn't a good analogy because m43 isn't really any cheaper than APS-C, and also not that far behind in IQ.
>>2899981
Don't overthink it.
I literally got red party balloons and rolled them over an LED worklight like a condom. Worked great. Did tests and everything.
All you need is a dim light and sufficiently strong red filtration.
Anything you buy that is sold as a safelight is going to work just fine.

I asked in the gear thread first but got no replies, which I suppose is to be expected, so I'm here to ask the board's real photographers.
I bought a Canon Pixma Pro 1 pigment printer for $700 with about 10 spare inks and generally pretty full carts inside.
I'll be using it to print my colour film scans.
Anybody have some sweet recommendations for paper, or general use of this thing?
I'm moderately concerned that taking on my own printing is where my rejection of Adobe Bloatoshop in favour of GIMP will come to bite me in the ass.
As far as paper goes, my preference for real photo paper is cooltone doubleweight glossy fibre, which I do not tone or finish in a print burnisher/hot press/whatever they're called. This gives good contrast, but leaves the paper still with a bit of tooth. I'm thinking that for colour pigment printing, a nice matte paper with the chroma optimiser finish over the top will come close?
>also how fucked am I for ink costs???

>Takes Uncle Ken's reviews seriously.
Is the Canon AE-1 a good camera to start with, I was looking in record/camera shop and they seem to be selling it a pretty good price (170 aud with 50mm lens and the strap). Also how would I make sure its all working before purchase, just make sure the shutter works?
>>2900052
Ehhh, it's a bit different because my primary use for the dark room is not just developing but also cutting ortho film. I know that not all red lights are safe for ortho film.
I also want to keep it cheap. I might try the route you're going. Some of these goddamn brands are so expensive in Canada. It seems like safelights in general here or mega-price.
What are your average dev costs? While looking for a new developer I sat and worked out I'm paying about £1.49 (about two US bucks) per roll for black and white self development. Including film costs it works out at something like 18p per frame (24 US cents). Pretty curious about what's normal.
>>2900055
That looks completely awful.
A lot of Lomography film is (was?) apparently rebranded Ferrania. Their Imation iso 200 film is the shittiest, grainiest c41 film I've ever shot.
>>2900232
€6,90 per roll at the place I go to, for both C41 and E6. I haven't calculated my bw dev costs.
>>2900198
My AE-1 Program (basically the same as the AE-1 except there's an automatic shutter speed setting in addition to the automatic aperture) has a broken metering system that I'm too broke and unmotivated to try and fix right now. I'm not sure if this is a common problem with this particular body, but if I were you I'd make sure to test that out as well before buying it, if you can. Test it a few times in bulb mode with the aperture set on "AE" and make sure that the aperture changes width in different lighting conditions. If that and the shutter work, you're good.
Also, it will need a battery in order for you to do anything with it. I can't remember what battery it uses off the top of my head, but I can remember that I found it fairly easily at Walgreens.
>>2900331
That's for development and scanning? For C41 it's about the same here in Britain.

I would love some help on how to shoot film. I have a Canon AE-1 Program (dads old camera) that I just loaded with film and a fresh battery. Ive got the film setting set as well, and all I need to know now is how to shoot with it. Will taking a photo with my D3200 Nikon on the same settings (shutter speed, aperture) produce the same result as the film will? Would also like help with the Program feature, open to any help. Also, is film speed the same is ISO in a camera?
>>2900590
Look up sunny 16 for shooting in manual, otherwise, using things like aperture priority are the same, you just can't change the ISO.
You can use your dslr to meter for exposure or get a phone app to meter if you don't want to use the one in the AE1.
>>2900590
Yes, film speed and ISO are the same.
Except you can't change your film speed between shots.
Make sure you have the correct ISO set for your film on the camera (under the rewind crank).
Then set aperture ring on the lense to the green A, and the shutter speed dial to program.
And then go and take photos.
Check to make sure your film is actually winding on by turning the rewind crank in the direction of the arrow, to take up any slack in the canister, then making sure it spins as you wind on the film between shots.
If you need to know more, seek the counsel of the based God Kenneth.

35mm film is nowhere near the IQ of 35mm digital sensor. just barely as good as modern P&S digital sensor, which are surprisingly as good as film is bad

>>2900801
+1 on Yashicas. I have a Yashica D I got from my grandfather, it's seen pretty heavy use but still works perfectly and the image quality is great. Mine doesn't even have the better Yashinon lens.
Shame I found out I don't really like shooting tlr's that much tho. GASing for that Pentax 6x7 goodness now.

TLRs are clunky stone age pieces of shit, don't bother. I would highly recommend my Bronica SQ system, or if you don't want to shoot squares they also make less popular but very similar 645 and 6x7 systems so it might be worth looking into those also.

>>2900944
Why does it have to be for something? It's one of many ways to record light into an image.
>>2900964
I enjoy shooting my rolleiflex way more than my hasselblad. contrary to what a lot of you will say, medium format slrs are most at home on tripods. Tlrs make a lot more sense for all day handholding.
>>2900964
I disagree. They have a really great form factor and are very comfortable to shoot with. SLR's are clunky.
Alright so I just started using film, I'm pretty clueless about it all. I shot my first roll, and I got it developed and put onto a cd. Here's the problem, all of the pictures are blank. When I say blank, I mean they're all this very light color brown. Only one of the pictures "came out" and it was a very blurry picture of a face. If anyone knows the issue, that would be greatly appreciated.
>>2900920
Depends a lot on what film you're using, but I feel like digital is one "format" ahead of film in terms of the amount of detail you can get. 35mm digital seems to be closer to MF film, and MF digital is more comparable to 4x5. that's probably a simplistic analogy that will make a lot of people mad, but that's just what I've seen.
There are some very sharp 35mm films though, like >>2900956
I've shot with kodak 2254 1.6 iso film (originally meant for duplication i think) that's very sharp. needs a tripod though :^)
But as sharp as they are, i don't think either of those films out-resolve digital, unless you jump to MF.
>>2900982
Your camera is underexposing your film. This could be because you're not setting your iso correctly or the light meter has failed, or the shutter and/or aperture is broken. Open up the back of the camera and actuate the shutter while looking through the lens and see if it stops down correctly and the shutter time is accurate.
>>2900982
why you are making this lame shit up. fuck off.
>>2900770
yea, I pretty much always buy film from BH. Always free, fast shipping when you order more than 50 dollars, and they generally have the best prices on stuff. They don't have a lot of variety though. They pretty much just have the fuji/kodak/ilford staples, and some rollei stuff, that's p much it. If you want weirder or imported stuff you'll have to check ebay or other sites.
is there a site with examples of pictures made with different films?
>>2900992
just google "[film name] flickr"
Flickr might be mostly cancer now, but all the user groups are a great way to see pics taken with different cameras, lenses, films, etc.
>>2900998
I've done that but I don't know many films and may be missing some... I'm new to analog and I just don't know how many films are available nowadays
>>2901009
Go to B&H and see what they have in stock, that's most of what is still around. It's not a whole lot.

What's the point of square format? You're gonna crop the sides during enlarging anyway, so you might as well shoot 645 directly
>>2901089
Cut your paper to a square and turn the smaller piece into test strips or smaller prints
Any full size examples of film scanned with one of these?
>>2901104
>>2900990
Does B&H offer free shipping worldwide as long as it is more than $50?
I don't live in the US and the prices of portra here are skyrocketing.
>>2901109
Email them and ask. They have good customer service so you should get an answer pretty quickly and a definite answer for your country.
I have an orwo panchromatic b&w 15 np medium format roll which turns 30 years old in two months. I don't want to waste it. how long will the exposure have to be? 30 sec - 1 min maybe?
>>2901127
I'd probably add about two stops for that (I find for black and white a stop/15 years works pretty well).
>>2901109
Remember you're probably going to have to pay an asston of customs/import tax.
what happens if you use too much rodinal? I just mixed 200ml of it with 400ml of water (for a 600ml tank) and only now I am reading that a 1+50 dilution is recommended
>>2901169
Ok, so you've got a 1+2 dilution of it now. So just mix more water with it to make the 1+50. that 1+2 solution wont last as long as the stock though, keep it in an air tight bottle until it turns brown and shitty, then throw it out.
>>2901172
thank you so much
>>2900985
I tend to secretly agree with you. Even my Fuji XT1 takes incredibly sharp and detailed images that I could never hope to get with color 35mm film.
But film gives such delicious colors and tones and highlights it makes it totally worth it.
>>2901190
>incredibly sharp and detailed images
photography is about light, not detail. want detail? learn to draw.
>>2901190
Yeah it's still hard to accurately emulate the look of film colors in digital. You can get close, but it's never quite the same.
That being said, i rarely fuck around with 35mm anymore. I love those big beautiful 6x7 slides :DD

Nice shot, composition works quite well for square.
Wsh you had taken two steps back if possible, to give a bit more space to the sides.

>>2900864

>>2900416
I like it too. Shame about the cut off guy on the right, he should have the decency to stay out of the frame.
>>2900143
Sell it and buy a camera that's actually nice to use. Or keep it for sentimental value.
>>2899532
It's a really nice camera to use, and it can deliver great results if you make it stop down a little.
Make sure to check the light seal to make sure it's intact, it's prone to light leaks. My seals went really fast after buying it, and I've heard of others having the same problem. The lens is delicious imo. Pic related.

Can I use Rodinal to develop prints or would that be pants-on-head retarded? I keep reading that you can but the image quality is sub-par.
reposting from gear thread because it might be more apropriate here,
how good is the epson perfection v370?
I want to scan 35mm color and B/W film and possibly in the future medium format
I don't have a DSLR, I tried doing that shoebox lightbox that's everywhere on google but I get shitty images with my point and shoot the best I got out of it doesn't look like the prints I had from the lab.
I want to share the photos on memebook and instagram and possibly print on 4 x 6
is the v370 enough?, I'm a poorfag but I could save money for a while for a better scanner (I want to keep shooting film as long as film is alive), or am I better with the scans from a lab?
special notes, I'm really poor (third world poor) so around 100 USD is about as much as I want to spend on this could go up to 150, don't mind if scanning is slow, I just want something that will help me scan my stuff and share it with a decent level of detail and I'm a retarded noob so I don't want to buy something I'll not be happy with because it will fuck up my pockets.
>>2901573
it may not work as well due to the fact 120 is thicker than 220
>>2901730
probably, but be careful with rodinal, p-aminophenol is possibly carcinogenic. its a lot harder to avoid contact during printing. why not use something like neutol or any other ascorbic acid developer?
>>2901839
Just because it's what I have, and I'm really eager to start printing. I guess I'll order some of what you recommend or some ilford PQ, it'll be worth the wait.
>>2899433
>rank beginner
Fuck me like, black and white is very hard to develop and not developing your own photos isn't a huge indicator that you're a beginner. Snob.
>>2900232
Do you mail them away or go to a photo lab?
>>2900232
Used to be $3.25 at Walmart but now they won't let you throw out the bad prints so it's nearly $10. Good alternatives for an asshole living in the DMV would be greatly appreciated.
When I adjust times to compensate for C-41 chemical depletion, I only need to extend developer time, not blix as well right?
>>2901835
That is simply not true. Each film has its own thickness that varies much more than typical paper backingnused with 120 film. Some 220 film is thicker than 120 film + backing, depending on manufacturer. This myth came up because some cameras have a switch you toggle depending on whether you're shooting 120 vs 220. People assume it adjusts the film plane but it's sole purpose is so the camera knows how many exposures the roll will have.
TL;DR The difference in thickness between two different 220 emulsions (up to 1mm) can be far greater thN the difference between a roll of 120 (where paper backing is only .15mm standard) and a roll of 220.
>>2901568
I have to admit it's the best film point and shit I ever had, but 80 dollaridoos seems a bit steep. Not that it matters, if you have fun with it and make nice photos with it, it's worth it
>>2901666
lel after a while it starts throwing random bugs and it gives you an error message saying you shouldn't use cracked software
gg germans, I'm still gonna use it
>>2902060
if that was true, then why would you be able to fit 2x as much film on a roll of 220 when the difference is just the lack of paper
>>2902175
Film doesn't go to the edge of the spools. Generally 220 goes much closer to the edge compared to 120. Pic related. Left 3 are 120, right 2 are 220.

interedasting. i guess you're right then. i had read about this before but what you say does make sense. i can only think of one camera where 220/120 has some sort of setting on the pressure plate (pentax 67) and im not sure if that's actually changing the pressure or just the stops for the winding lever.
>>2902212
Most likely just the counter + winding lever settings. Mamiya 6/7 also have a plate that you rotate depending on 120/220

How is Kodak ultramax 400 compared to superia 400?
>>2902356
They're fairly comparable. While Superia tends to have a generally greenish cast in shadows and underexposure, Ultramax seems to have a more pinky / magenta cast when in shadow or underexposed. I slightly prefer Ultramax because it has a warmer look, but I can never find it in 36exp rolls.
Have $1000 to spend on a camera.
Was either going to go for a Bessa R3A with a Nokton 40mm f1.4, or I was potentially considering going medium format..
I don't want to carry a box around though so it'd need to be a Fuji handheld or something similar, minimum of 6x7.
>>2902367
Congrats, sounds like you have no idea what you want.
>>2902367
Fuji GF670. Should be under 1000 used. It's a 6x7 rangefinder, and I think it also does 6x6 if you slide a switch inside the back. It has A and M mode metering. You're welcome.

What? You're listing cameras that are totally different and serve different purposes entirely. There's no way I can help you from what you've provided.
Try answering this:
Why are you buying a new camera?
What are you shooting with it?
What's your shooting style?
What kind of film do you expect to use?
How much are you going to spend?
What results are you expecting from this new camera?
>>2902381
jk, the price seems to have gone way up since I last checked. Good luck with finding a camera to meet your ridiculous parameters. Just bite the bullet and get a mamiya 7, it's not much more than 1000.
Just got two rolls of 35mm Rollei cr200 developed and they have this yellow cast I'm not a fan of. Is the 120 version similar stuff? I have one roll of that too in the fridge I've been saving for good light, if it is I think I'll just shoot it next instead of the Portra 400 I was planning on.
I think I'll just stick to Agfa Precisa for cheapo 35mm slides.

Yes, same deal.
You could probably correct it with a very light cooling filter? Also, I'd shoot it closer to 160.
Precisa is fucking sweet, but it's not cheap anymore. If you have a source with old stock and old prices, buy it all.

So ugh. I'm just wondering what part is very hard. I'm not seeing it.
I'd say that E-6 and C-41 are more complicated due to more steps, more chemicals and required temperatures, but feel free to educate me on why B/W negs are so hard to develop.

If you want to scan medium format it doesn't look like the v370 will do it. I got a v550 on sale for about $120. i think the v500 is a little cheaper and also scans medium format.
35mm scans are acceptable but not great. it says it can scan 6400 dpi but the resolving power of the lens in the unit is much lower. medium format scans are pretty usable though.
there are also adjustable height film trays that you can buy to get better quality since the trays that come with the scanner aren't adjustable http://www.betterscanning.com/
Picked up from Goodwill with a bunch of other junk for $20. XA included box & manuals, but the flash was missing. :(
...just need to buy some film now, that plan of finding expired film from the thrifts isn't panning out so far.

I just developed my first prints from my AE-1 and they look pretty good (I'm satisfied atleast,) I say hell yeah! Go out and shoot!
what's the dev procedure to get more contrast on bw films?
Can anyone suggest a decent compact 35mm? Budget around $400.
I've been shooting with a leica IIIc, but am growing tired of metering and guessing on the rangefinder focus.
Mostly for street snapshits.
>>2900189
The Nikon d3200 is incapable of taking a bad photo, I keep it on six megapixel JPEG because raw is for amateurs, make sure to donate to my growing family and make sure to saturate!
>>2903221
Agitate more or shoot at higher speed. If you don't have to you could just control contrast in the darkroom or once you scan it
>>2902212
>>2902216
Fuji MF cameras change the pressure plate position.
In the 690 models, the whole presure plate comes out and flips over, and the grooves for the tangs that hold it in place are recessed to different depths.
The back has no mechanical connection to the body, it's purely a consideration for film thickness. Your winding anf film counter settings are done on a separate dial on the top plate. Pic related.
I believe the GS645 I used in Japan had a switch in the back that moved the plate with a cam operation. Not so sure on that one cos I don't have it anymore and didn't shot any 220 in it.
As far as the film thickness thing goes though, I think it's all over the place.
Some brands have backing paper that feels like cardboard (Rollei), some films are so thick and curly you need 12 hands to hold them flat fr scanning. The last roll of 120 TX400 I dev'd was so thin and flimsy I had trouble getting it on the spools, because it kept buckling (probs need to scrub out the ball bearing races too...)
But it's like anything in photography, there are always those that will take a non-issue to the n-th degree.

Literally any flash with a sync port.
I like my Nikon SB-24 because it A)has a sync port; and B)shows a distance scale for your selected power, ISO and aperture, making it very easy to use manually.
>>2903221
+10-20% dev time
Agitation isn't the best choice to increase contrast, increased agitation also increases grain, diminishes edge effects and compensation effects, etc.
>>2903018
worked, thanks. i probably should have figured out i could have googled a manual. i appreciate the help tho
>>2903332
Contax T2 should fit your budget. That's what I would get. There are other choices too.

I buy it online, on ebay or such. Stores in Poland have absolutely ridiculous film prices, sometimes the cost is doubled or tripled.

Meopta Anaret 80/4.5
>>2904034
Both are great but Portra is more versatile. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot any subject matter with Portra. 400H on the other hand is great for people but wouldn't be my go to film to take on a hike.
Both are fantastic though. I feel like 400H doesn't get enough love. If you've shot Portra before definitely give 400H a try (pic related).

>Meopta Anaret 80/4.5
That actually seems quite fast for an 80mm.
What aperture did you use to scan? Does it show any CA?
Also, is that large shadow under her arm on the film, or is it a light leak from where you failed to tape over the lense's aperture illumination window like a noob?
I've got a couple of enlarger lenses I haven't really tried out for photography yet, as I don't have an M39 adapter. It would be interesting to see if they're all that though.
A Minolta 50/2.8, 80/5.6, and a Fuji 135/5.6. They all seem fine for enlarging, but then again I don't do much printing faster than f/8.
>>2904250
No light leaks, it's a shadow. I scan at f8, virtually no aberration or distortion - at least nothing I can see. I used 50mm rokkor for scaning before so quality jump is ridiculous for me. Getting everything in focus can be tricky sometimes but I guess it's just a matter of precise setup and good tripod.
>>2904264
>>2904273
Nah man, looks good. Nice work.
So what is the setup?
On bellows, or a helicoid tube?
Are you using the neg holder from your enlarger too?
>>2904281
My setup is dope as fuck. I just taped it to the camera using toilet paper tube. I'm going to get converter in the next few days but I couldn't wait to test this glass. Normally I use reduction rings and adjust height with the tripod. Need to get that bellows, it's more convienient.

how to get grainy bw film?
>>2904575
umm... buy a high speed film?
>>2904587
Ok, I sounded like an asshole.
Buy something with a classic emulsion like HP5 or TX400, if you want more accentuated, bigger grain you can try pushing film to 1600 or even 3200. Use a developer that's good for pushing like Ilford Microphen.
>>2904575
non tabular grain high speed film. so like the other guy said, HP5 or tri-x. agitating like hell will do it too.
also using a non-solvent developer like rodinal. developers that contain sulfites eat away at the edges of the grain to soften it up a bit, rodinal doesn't. it stays just how it is.
>>2904055
In Mexico, somehow kodak color film ( Ultramax and Proimage) is cheaper than on ebay, but B/W is pricey as fuck, there is also Fujicolor 200 was really fucking cheap but I haven't checked lately,
For development there is a 1 hour store that charges 25 pesos (like 1.5 burger coins) just for development, its the only one I know that won't rape you for developing, its like the only one left and I'm afraid it will close
>>2904647
The thing is that delta has different grain structure than older films and some people think it looks to sterile, more like digital grain.

I just got it yesterday and it seems to be in really great condition both cosmetically and mechanically. No scratches or dints or anything. Pretty sure it's been sitting in the case for most of its life. Looks like it's brand new inside.
As far as I can tell the cell is working fine and hasn't oxidised, but i guess I won't know how well it's actually metering until I get this roll finished and developed.
Nikon fm10 vs canon ae-1 for someone's who's trying to move up from a regular p&s?
Price doesn't matter to me, my budget is 200$ and they both fit. Just wanna know if the extra 100 is worth it for the fm10 or if there are any other options
>>2905011
Get Olympus Om40 and use rest of the money on based zuiko glass.
So, apparently my grandfather has got an old Nikon FE he is willing to give to me.
I've never shot with film before. Do you guys find the process worth it? Changing film every 36 shots, going somewhere to get it processed, etc.
Also the camera + lens weighs about 850 grams. Would I be stupid to bring it along with my Sony A6000 when traveling?
I realize that I'm not asking very concrete questions, so any kind of feedback is appreciated.
>>2905199
>Do you guys find the process worth it?
Yes, because process is part of the experience and part of the fun. If you think that buying film, changing rolls, developing film, making prints is all just a hassle you need to get throu to get pictures then you might get dissapointed. But I'd suggest you just try it and find for yourself.

10 fujicolor 200 films for 20 euros? thanks anon
Can I use any kind of bottle to store mixed powder developer? I wanted to buy a 1L packet of Ilford ID-11, but a 3.8L packet of Kodak D-76 (which by all accounts is virtually identical) is almost the same price, but it'll be a bit harder for me to store because I only have a few old film chemistry bottles laying around.
I know that ideally chemicals should be stored in air tight, light proof bottles, but is there any reason I couldn't just use old washed out drinks bottles or something?

Keep it in anything, if you want to protect it from light just keep it in a cupoard or cover it with a towel. Don't buy those expensive bullshit opaque photography dedicated containers.

>>2905365
I would suppose it's some kind of validity/quality check performed by Nikon, but I don't know.
>>2905392
There was some kind of rule that cameras had to pass a specific quality check before leaving Japan.Don't remember when this was exactly or if it still is in place, but there basically was such a huge boom in camera industry in Japan and so much was made that to keep quality in favour of quantity they forbid even private owners to move cameras that didn't pass the quality check out of Japan.
