I always presoak in 68 degree water. I don't do a wash between dev fluids. Should I start that? Would that cause these problems, maybe?
>thin dilution for a short time
It does seem a bit short. I've tried going beyond that before, and the negatives got a little more dense than desired. Like most ortho film, it has brutal contrast to begin with, and while rodinal is cheap, I think it exacerbates that contrast. The problem is that XTOL seems to wash this shit right out, and make it too soft. Not that short when you consider that Fomapan 100 is 10 mins at 1+100 in Rodinal. The constant agitation should also be shortening the dev time , although that doesn't seem to work in my case.
I tried glass at the bottom of trays but the negatives always stick. I've heard that tip before, though. Is there some trick to prevent them from sticking to the bottom?
It's driving me mad here because I can't afford to get my 4x5's lab developed. There's nothing more infuriatingly defeating than trouble shooting and still not being able to figure out what is going wrong.

>>3044290
Idk yet. Since im europoor poor part idk where to sell honestly. Would be nice profit tho.
sorry for asking here, I asked in the stupid questions general but got no answer so here I am
how many time can I let a new film in a camera, I mean for example: yesterday I shoot some photos, but I still have like 15 pictures left in the roll and I want to shoot them tomorrow
>>3044316
Pretty much forever, though you will start to get some fogging on the already-exposed frames after a month or two.
>>3044289
Rangefinder fever is a springtime phenomenon on every photography forum. /fgt/ is as susceptible as APUG.
Think about it. Unmetered rangefinder in your hand, EV13-15 outside, shooting a bulk reel per week, wind in your hair, no gear no fear.
>>3044322
i understand perfectly the exposure triangle concept, but don't know shit about EV. can you direct me to some easy to grasp explaination?
I just finished my first roll of film ever, where should I get my film developed? Also should I have the lab do the scans or should I use my home scanner? I think it's an Epson perfection v370
>>3044332
EV is Exposure Value. You can easily google the relationship between it and exposure settings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value
My Light Meter app on my phone shows the EV as well shutter speed and aperture. It's the top one if you search for "light meter" and it's free
>>3044339
Where you get it developed depends entirely on where you live obviously.
Does the v370 have the backlight required for scanning film? I don't believe it does, so it wouldn't work. That means having the place do it for you.
>>3044357
Im not at home right now and I'm not sure what the exact model is, but I know it does slides so I'm guessing negatives work as well. My main concern is the quality, and from lurking it seems lab scans are frouned upon, I just don't know if that's because lab scans are actually bad or if it's just the usual 4channer superiority complex

I already have the pleasure of using an eos 620 but I'm wondering if the 500, being a newer camera, has a better AF system. Anyone have any experience?
I don't want to waste the money on batteries and film if there is no point whatsoever in using the camera.

Ahh, I know some films have better low light characteristics then others and I think that's what buddy was asking.
// I've first hand seen portra 400 @ 1600 and gold 200 @ 800 and there is by no means NOT reasonable colours, obviously there isn't going to be a full tonal scale but sometimes you have to sacrifice that to either get the shot or have a certain look. I'm not saying it's a do it every roll type of thing but by all means it's definitely usable. I thought the guy asking wanted to know which films have the least reciprocity failure for doing long exposures.
should i learn to shoot film on a canon rebel 2000, fujica st605n, or minolta xg-m?
>>3044487
There's nothing to learn if you know how exposure works. Any of those would work.
>>3044411
>im not sure whether you're being sarcastic or not trying to tell me that a camera having PASM and a few auto modes makes it a technical marvel.
In 1993 it did. Compared to the vast bulk of film cameras you'll come across it does.
>>3044475
>Wat's dat 16ex, 8ex, 4ex thing? How could you get less than 16ex?
That's a 6x9 camera, it gets 8 exposures on 120, double that on 220, and half as much on japan-only short-roll 120.
Any tips in purchasing chemicals? I'm trying to start in film, been shooting digital for a while and i'm not comfortable with the colors it delivers.I've shoot 2 rolls already one B&W 400TX and a ColorPlus 200.
>>3044551
Might be easier to start with chemicals you mix from concentrate.
Kodak HC110 is good and lasts forever
Get rid of stop bath completely, just do two washes of 30 seconds each, continuous agitation and then move onto the fixer. Stop bath chemical is unnecessary for tank development
Ilford Rapid Fixer is cheap and works well.
>>3044552

How much of a difference is there in terms of light (amount, colour, other qualities), and foliage, between the major seasons, in Australia? Because from like Denmark and further north in Europe, mid-November thru mid-February is like, EV7 on a cloudy noon. LIterally can't shoot 100 speed or slower without tripod or flash. Midsummer is EV13-15 for like 16+ hours around noontime, drives foreigners the other kind of crazy... fucking brilliant for anything photography-related besides lightproofing my bathroom.

It depends where you're going for foliage, but for the most part, unless you're in an alpine region or the far south, there are no foliage changes.
The "seasons" are 30+ degrees in summer, 20+ degrees in winter, with the sun setting at 6pm in winter and 7pm in summer.
There is no twilight, or dusk, or any of those nice long evenings you get in countries closer to the poles. You can walk into the supermarket to buy dinner while it's still light enough to read a book outside, and walk out into darkness.
It is bright as a motherfucker all the time, the sun is always high in the sky, and it hardly rains so overcast days are rare. If you load 400 film during the day, you will be shooting at f/16 unless you find some shade.
It's shitty for photography, the light is hard and clear and the direction is always up. And of course once the sun sets you're done for the day. Golden hour is golden 10 minutes, literally.

any advice for using a 40mm lens on a Leica M3? it doesn't have 40mm frame lines but how big of an issue is that seriously?
>>3045187
The entire viewfinder pretty much has the field of view of a 35mm lens, so if you frame your shot somewhere between the 50mm frameline and the edge of the viewfinder it should be right.
There's 40mm accessory finders you can get though, some Israeli dude makes them and sells them on ebay for like $35
So I've asked abour prices earlier, but how does getting film developed at Kitamura work? And is it also the recommended place for E6?
>>3045195

>If it's 120/220 or 35mm e6 they send it out and it takes about a week

>If your film is being sent out they will call when it's ready.
>If you bring them Kodak they may ask if you'd prefer to have it developed using Kodak chemistry. Otherwise it will be developed in Fuji chemistry.

Yeah, Pretty cheap, though they are really heavy.
Not sure where you are located, but Kievs frequently come from eastern europe, so shipping can take a long time.
having some issues with C41
mixed fresh unicolor kit and ran a few rolls without issue.
moved on to some "old" undeveloped rolls.
they have come out very faint and not clear, like the blix is not working.
is this just a problem with old film, or possibly chemistry related?
temps good, technique sound, etc
have done film for 20+ years, but new to C41
My release cable just arrived, so I'll be shooting some night exposures with Ektar 100 on my SQ-A. Any tips? I'm still trying to figure how should I meter.
Also, just sold my Yashica 35GTN and my Pentax SP and I'm buying a Fuji G645S. Good investment?
Anyone have any cool double exposures?
I'll be picking up my first ever developed roll of film that I shot on an F100 I picked up for like $20 couple of weeks ago. I didn't have any new rolls though so I found one at work and I have no idea if it was already shot on or not.
>>3045420
Develop a test roll of fresh C200 in said chemicals to tell between clapped-out film and bad chems. If this confirms blame on the chems, try re-dipping bad negatives in fresh blix; this should work along the same lines a re-fixing underfixed B&W negs after drying and washing.
It's well possible for the blix to go off before the developer does, especially if it's been kept poorly (like, without an airtight cap); the fixing component is still basically hypo (smells that way too), so it's got similar (but worse) storage properties as hypo in water.
Sadly I couldn't tell you what an under-blixed negative looks like since my C41 kit is four baths. But my fix always goes off before the other fluids.
>>3045493
thanks, anon
was going to test a clipping in just blix to see if it clears.
have always heard that color neg "does not keep", but just unsure of what the typical result of that is.
are any manual SLRs in production nowadays?
>>3045544
The ones that are, one is a student's camera for people who aren't allowed to spend a stipend on used goods, and the other is an extremely desirable collectible for old farts. The first is good enough but far worse than some used SLRs one could get for about that price; and the second is absolutely lovely and dreamy and shit but costs like four times what the other MF Nikon dream cameras cost used. (also, both electronic and mechanical shutter control. how fucking neat is that? takes twice the CLAing though.)
Go used or digital.
>>3045492
No, not cool

i have a question. i'm using film on a daily basis because i like the feel but day after day i go obsessed about the image quality. so here is the question: what is the point of film if we digitise the data?
i know it sounds retard but i'm genuinely wondering
Just picked up a huge stack of film from the PO box. One more trip in a month for 120 and I should be set for a solid 6 months.
20 rolls of 36 exposure ektachrome 64T 35mm rolls.
Here's the collection:

>what is the point of film
the process.
also digitizing the data has nothing to do with anything. people that play the guitar, or whole bands that record themselves into a computer are digitizing the data too, and it doesnt make their stuff less "real" or turns their electroacoustic devices into midi chiptune. they are still real instruments, but the support of the wave image is digital. i can paint an oil paint and then take a digital picture of it and it wont be less of an oil paint than it is in the actual media (except, of course, for selling purposes).
digital is a way to archive, it has nothing to do with the actual physical media were using. keep shooting and worry less.

I've just run a tap straight into my tank for years. I've developed 35mm up to 4x5 black and white and both color neg and slide film with this sort of washing with no issues
>>3045820
Film washers are not necessary .. I built myself a siphon print washer for like 5 dollars which i think is necessary.. but if you have a tank you just run the tap into it and it works great.

Is developing color film at home easy to fuck up? Is it not too hard to do daylight dev with a paterson tank? And does it need a rotor station for constant agitation?
The lab's prices are killing me and I'm thinking of doing C-41 at home. Same with E-6. I live in one of the only places that does E-6 left in Canada, and I'd love to support the lab if it wasn't going to burn me so hard.
>>3045873
Bump as I'm also wanting to know. It's going to cost me no joke around $25aud each roll as I have to pay for postage to and from the lab plus the additional cost to develop 120, just the thought of that has put me off shooting any colour yet.
I've found the Tetenal 1L kit on ebay for $68 and people have reported getting 14-18 rolls of 120 from each kit, which is cheap as fuck compared to sending it to a lab.
Just copped this for $8 at an estate sale, did I do good /p/?

Is that APX 100 in 120 I see? Possibly expired in 2012 or earlier? That's some magical shit right there, rodinal 1+50 it and feel pain about only having two rolls.

Shit I've just been shooting it like any regular film, dev'ing in rodinal 1+100. Didn't realise it was discontinued, rare stuff.
>>3045732
Hate to break it to you, but the quality of the glass on your camera matters more for picture quality, even in a scanning workflow, than the sensor or medium. That's to say: there's obvious differences between frames taken with a 2008 (ish?) nikkor 50mm f/1.8g, and an early 70s nikkor AI 50mm f/2, even if you're shooting Fomapan and scanning with a hand-me-down potato.
(The difference is that the seventies lens is fluffy soft leica glowy wide open, and the gee-whiz lens is coated with unicorn shavings and its character is clinical excellence at any aperture.)
My point here is that before digital sensor wank there was film grain wank, photo paper wank, and optics wank aplenty. In the end you want a picture, or preferably several, and nearly any camera with a halfway decent lens (at least singly coated, multiple elements, made of glass) and some exposure control will pony up with that well enough.
Obsessing with hi-fi themes can be useful if you want to get MF tier detail off Retro 80s w/ a F100 or F5. But mostly it's just a waste of time, same as it is on digital. Try creative options instead.
>>3045918
There's an APX 100 today, but it's substantially inferior to the "old formula". I'm sitting on about 45m of bulk 35mm since about two years ago, too timid to actually use it. Guess that's how it wound up in my hands as well.
Closest approximation today is RPX100, but in HC-110. Which is odd. And it's not the same of course.
If I already own a Mju I, would it make sense to get a Mju III 80?
Can't find much useable information about the mju III and zoom point&shoots seem to be crap.
But would it be an upgrade from the mju I if I can get one in good condition for 1€?
>>3045892
How?
Stupid question, new to film.
The lab near me doesn't develop HP5 for some reason, but I like their prints, I've used them before.
If I learn how to develop film myself and develop my HP5 roll, can I give them the negatives and they print the photos? I can't afford the tools to print a negative myself even if I wanted to
>>3045973
Yes. They might charge a bit more than they would for developing/printing together, but they'll do it.
>>3045941
I mean what do you have to lose for 1€? It probably won't be as sharp as the prime on the mju 1, but you might get some versatility from the zoom if you're just carrying it around everywhere you go.(although it will be a thicker camera)
>>3046009
actually ment to write 5€, got my Mju I for 1.
So the Mju I prime lens should be sharper than the Mju III zoom lens? well shit
Is it preferred to post my recent film pics in here or in the recent pics thread?
>>3046016
Post film pics in here. I need inspiration
>>3046029
ok, its only a few of what I think are the better ones from my second roll ever so be gentle..

are you asking about HP5? it's a classic film, basically anyone shooting B&W film atm is either going to be shooting HP5 or TX.
they've been fucking around and reformulating it recently, more so than Kodak, which has led to some improvements (e.g. prewash is no longer mandatory) but also makes me suspicious of their ability to do all that without changing the film's look or responsiveness in some way.
>>3046097
Yeah they are a little unoriginal but I wanted to be safe than sorry, my first roll was kinda shit because I just shot willy-nilly. But still thanks!
I have a Minolta XGM and thats on Kodak 200 Gold
>>3046103
Yeah the HP5 was what I was wondering about. Good to know. Theres also a color version, which ive see but havent tried either.
>>3045941
Yo I got a review about the mjuiii zoom.
http://www.themetaphysicians.co/portfolio/olympus-stylus-80-review/
Tldr get it
>>3046141
i honestly don't see why anyone would cop a zoom compact when they have the option to get a prime. the prime lens on the mju ii is faster, sharper, contrastier - I know that apparently they have become trendier recently and so are more expensive on ebay, but you can def still find them in thrift stores for under 10bux. Or just get a different prime compact rather than paying for the Olympus branding.
>>3046167
The mjuiii is a pretty decent zoom tho and it's cheap cheap. But I agree there are other options, it's not a holy grail or anything but for a buck may as well right. If you have the option and money doesn't matter then yes get the compact prime, if you need the versatility or don't have the cash get the zoom.
>>3046170
i guess maybe i've just been lucky (and/or when i bought a mju was before they got so expensive), but i've been able to buy several prime mju I and II cams for $3-$5 each at thrift stores.
but honestly I don't really get their huge popularity in recent years, they are fine cameras but I don't think they're much better than other similarly-priced (or cheaper) compacts. can you explain their huge appeal?
>>3046174
You have been lucky, and I think a lot of other people have been too. The reason imo the mju series is where it is now is because it's the only camera that could be in its position, which camera had 10million sales in a 10 year period, is compact and trendy af, is easy as piss to use and is only 10-20 years old. I believe they had a good rep and their value dropped during the digital boom, a few film figures hyped it and here we are at $300 mint mjuii's on the used market. Also include the high demand for decent film point and shoots and it just increases everything good about the mju. Are they decent little cameras yes, should they be anywhere near $200+ no I don't think but if the market demands it, it'll be.
Where is a good place to buy film developing chemicals? The only physical camera shops in my area sell nothing but DSLR kit.
>>3046188
Which country are you in?
>>3046191

>>3046191
Australia
>>3046187
yeah, I think we're basically in agreement - I don't think they're bad cameras by any means. after all, they are a maitani yoshihisa design and he's the undisputed GOAT in my book. but i've been shocked to see the price rocket up from like $40 max three or four years ago to $200+ these days.
is that right that some big personalities have been hyping them up? so basically the same trajectory as the gr1/21 models, except that the value in the mju lies less in its unique build/glass quality and design and more in its solid quality combined with its ubiquity

Oh shit son, sorry m8. I know there's a few Aussies around here but I haven't a clue. I know air shipping Chem is usually a no no so I'm not sure importing would work. You could always mix your own if you look up recipes.
>>3046195
Thank you kind namefag, looks promising.
>>3046195
Yup I agree, and If you look at any "too film compact camera" list you'll always see the mjuii, afaik no one "famous" has used one. More the ubiquity as you said and the trendiness and initially cheap cost.
>>3046200
funny enough i just checked Yahoo Auctions (if anyone is unaware, Yahoo Auctions is basically the japanese ebay equivalent) and the mju/mju ii are still going for the old lower US prices, i.e. $30 or $40 a pop. somebody should import a whole heap of those suckers to the USA and make some money.
>>3046217
on a similar note, here's a Big Mini for two dollars and 50 cents.
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r183554965
>>3046188
For B&W I just bought from B&H, even with the fucked postage costs it was cheaper than any of the aussie stores
>>3046095
Im not sure what this is but I like it
>>3046217
This is how my PayPal has gone from $0 to $2k since January.
Also, that big mini isn't the sought after one and will still probably hit $30-$40.
The GS is alot bigger than the GA since the lens doesn't collapse. Still a p cute camera tho. Also got an XA2 and another chrome MJU Limited this week.

Would really like to get a Mju II in good condition because they are so pocketable but they simply are too expensive for what they are.
I'm on a budget and I can't afford spending more than around 50€ for a camera. I'm looking for a proper compact that fits my criteria for half a month already.
I never had a zoom and getting a Mju III 80 for 5€ that seems to be in great condition, I thought, why not.
I'll post some pics in the general once I tried the camera out.
>>3046217
Very fucking weird, I'll have to check some of those ads out for fun. I wonder how risky of a investment that would be, if someone did it right now I think you could make a good amount.

I was considering getting one, how is is? MyPentax 645n is in the mail
I just found a Minolta Dynax 800si with Toking AT-X 100mm 2.8 Macro and Toking 80-40mm 4-5.6 plus a bunch of extra for $60 w/ shipping. Should I get it? Have no clue if anything works? Any comment on this camera and lenses?

Olympus om2spot + 24mm f/2.8, and mamiya c330 + 80mm f/2.8. 120 neopan 100 and 35mm delta 400 + gold 200. Just devd everything, really liking the wide 24mm. Awesome set up with the autowinder too.

Any tips, comments, etc?
My first foray into MF. Very excited
>>3046640
Very cool you got a nice grip with it. I'd recommend just fucking shooting rolls and having fun, take it out even though it's a little bigger, the negatives and image quality are sweet. I've never shot 6x4.5 but medium format is essentially the same as 35mm, you just got less shots. Enjoy m8

Also look into the original MJU. The main draw of the MJU series is how easily pocketable they are due to their curvy design. That's what separates them from most other p&s cameras imo.

Is there any reason I should get an SQ-AI body for these PS lenses, rather than an SQ-A?
>>3046716
No, the only differences between the A and AI are:
>AI can use a motordrive
>AI gets a 16sec exposure setting (A goes up to 8sec)
>AI gets a bulb setting (A has the T setting, which imo is better anyway)
S vs PS lenses make no difference and can be used on any SQ model just fine.

Ohhh you have a coolscan nice how do you like it? I still have to dslrscan the negs, I usually print but I'm out of paper at the moment. Dev'd in d76 1+1, I'll post some in the next thread, delta 400 is one of my favourites.
>>3046722
Would it be worth it in the sense that an AI is likely to be newer and thus have less wear?
>No difference between lenses
I thought the PS were supposed to have much better optics? The lenses is what I got in this package, along with a beat-looking SQ-A body.
> T better than Bulb
Why do you think that? It fucking drove me nuts with the RB67 SDpro. Is it because Bulb requires you to hold down the shutter release? The problem I have with T is that it does actually take me a bit of force and time to close the shutter that way.
>>3046724
It was my universities. Gave great scans, was slow as sin though. DSLR scanning is the second best option and honestly...if you're stitching images the quality would probably be pretty close (depending on your scanning rig).
I'd be deving my Delta in D76 too, Looking forward to the results.
>>3046726
I honestly wouldn't worry too much between A and AI. My A has been going strong for 10 years. It's impossible to know what kind of life the camera has had. You could buy an A that was owned by a hobbiest and has seen <100 rolls or an AI owned by a wedding photographer that has seen >1000 rolls.
About the lenses, I meant no difference between being able to use the lenses on an A vs AI body. The PS lenses apparently do have better coatings, I have a mixture of both and haven ever seen the need to upgrade my S versions to PS. One positive of the S versions is that they are all 67mm filter sized, whereas I think the PS has some variance.
>Bulb vs T
Yes, holding down the shutter release is a pain. It also drains the battery and I used to shoot a lot of 1+ hour exposures so the T setting was a dream. With the T setting, I simply quickly cover the lens with my hand at the end of the exposure and then slide the switch. Never had any problems.

>>3046758
Not sizewise.
The A7 is tiny, breh.
Also, use the A7 for scanning. I'd say that 35mm is probably sharp enough to start scanning with if you don't have a real macro, just get an extension tube.

Is Tri-X or HP5 better?
>>3046110
what scanning software/methods do you use? The colors look great and I'm not seeing the issues I've been getting in my scans (posted on this thread >> 3046812)
>>3046784
They're so different from one another that any ranking will be due mostly to aesthetic and processing preferences. Tri-x curls like a motherfucker, HP5+ straightens out by itself. For a beginner, just get what's cheaper for you (and what your lab recommends).
>>3046784
Tri-X. HP5 is supposed to be really similar, but every time I try it I seem to get nastly ugly clumpy grain. Maybe it just really doesn't get along with the HC-110 developer I use but I don't know why because every other film comes out fine. I've also only used HP5 in 35mm, maybe it would look better in 120 but I've just been turned off of it so Tri-X is my standard film when I want 400 speed.
>>3046739
They're just too damn thick. The F100 grip is the perfect depth. The D700 is probably the most comfortable DSLR I've ever held, but it's still noticeably heavier and more awkward to hold when you put it up next to the F100.

Find a format you want to shoot first. 6x4.5 is the most economical. 6x6 is unique because square. 6x7 will give you much higher quality compared to 35mm.

Can a film roll being "old" cause photos to be under-exposed?
I got an F100 and a box of various camera accessories at a yard sale, including a couple of rolls of film. I shot one of them and had it developed at a lab with the request that they scan the negatives and put them on a CD. When I picked it up today they had just developed the film and not scanned them because it "wasn't worth it", with all of them apparently being under-exposed. I knew it was a possibility that the entire roll would be double exposed because the guy I got the stuff from didn't know himself, so I was fine with it being a sort of "test roll". However, I was very confident I'd properly exposed each and every shot I took, with the ISO being constant at 400 corresponding to the film, and using the meter very carefully each time.
I put the film over my phone displaying a bright white picture and took a picture using my macro lens. Here's an unedited example.
>>3047020
Yes.
1 stop compensation per 10 years seems to be a rough guideline.
>>3047020
light conditions look terrible. for a 400 asa roll, you needed a wide open 1.4 lens and 1/30 shutter at least, did you have anything close to that?

Shot at 1.8 and I'd guess 1/25-1/30. No way I had a smaller aperture or above 1/40 at worst.
Light was actually pretty decent.
Didn't get the cartridge, only the film. Too bad because I never actually checked the expiration date. That's the one thing I didn't include when going over what not to do when shooting film for the first time.
>>3047035
exp date comes only on the box.
all i see are fluorescent lights, which means it was SHIT light. film was fine. you underexposed it.
>>3047036
Just realized I had my d3100 with me that day. This shot is SOOC, like I said, lighting was good.

Damn that sucks. Honestly I hear great things about The Darkroom, if you dont mind waiting a week or so to get your shit back then try that.

Yes, old expired film requires more exposure, and especially old fast film.
Your lab man is just being kind and saving you money, your photos would have been horrendous given the shit equipment he'd be scanning it with. (also, if all the photos are of a pillar, taken from the back of your youth group, fuck man why even bother?)
If you want to take on dslr scanning seriously though, you'd be able to extract photos from that roll.
Pic related was quick and dirty, to give even remotely normal looking colour over the entire frame, including the overexposed background, would require some layer masking HDR type stuff.

Make sure nothing looks damaged, the shutter and film advance should always be moving nicely and (afaik) every 35mm body should be able to dry fire to make sure shutter mechanism works. (Try a couple speeds). Other than that definitely ask the owner what they know about the camera, what it was used for etc. Make sure the mirror is in good shape, not scrapped or damaged. Eye ball light seals, they could be ok they could be dead either way that's an easy fix. As for glass just make sure it's clear and activate the aperture, some lenses the blades don't move when the lens isn't mounted so use a depth of field preview button on the lens or mount it and use dof preview or go to bulb shutter and set aperture, open back and look through like that. Make sure the blades have no oil or minimal amounts on them. Other then that idk, most cameras will work unless they're damaged and you can usually tell in my experience.
I've been learning how to shoot and started on film because that's what I've got. I love it! I'm going to get into some lomography too but that's whatever...

Does anyone have any suggestions for other films? I have a flash, but underwater tends to be lacking in the reds and yellows when shot without, and that thing is big and heavy.

Is TMax or Tri X better?
>>3047313
they are too different. what for? trix will give you that grungy contrasty street look lots of faggots crave.
tmax is softer, has lots of midtones, more suitable for architecture and soft portraits and landscapes, but you can use whatever the fuck you want them in.
What's a safe way of putting grid lines on my P67 focus screen? Would a regular, non-permanent marker work?
>>3047317
why not use a piece of clear plastic sheet and draw your scribbles there?
>>3047313
T-Max is """better""" in that it has higher resolution and less grain and more dynamic range and all that technical stuff, but if you were only concerned with purely technical stuff you probably wouldn't be shooting black and white film in 2017. Tri-X has the classic black and white film look, millions of the most iconic photos of the past century were shot on Tri-X. If you pick any memorable black and white photo, there's a good chance it was shot with Tri-X.
They're both good, they're just different. Assuming you're shooting film and then scanning, T-Max is supposedly also a bit more optimized for scanning, but that doesn't really mean much. I don't really shoot much T-Max, but here's a sort of high resolution comparison I threw together. Note that HC-110 probably isn't the ideal developer to use with T-Max so I might not be doing it much justice, but hopefully it helps.

>>3047299
Really, really hard to get good colors underwater if you don't use a flash. I'd recommend just shooting black and white if you go flashless. Pick up some Tri-X and have fun.
For film:
I wouldn't shoot Provia since it already tends to go blue...the last thing you want underwater.
That ADOX is going to be useless at 20iso.
Great grab for $50! Mounting the lenses upsidedown makes adjusting focus easier btw.

Hi guys, I started shooting film 4 months ago and I always paid like 10€ for developing the roll and 16€ to print and scan
Now I've seen this product on Kickstarter http://www.ars-imago.com/lab-box/

If it's better, what chemical should I buy ? And do I need the whole developing process with this LabBox

holy shit. I'm into this if the quality is as good as a studio. Regarding chemicals, the only downside is that chemicals age really quickly so if you have gaps between the times you're taking pictures then your chemicals will produce lower quality images

holy shit, this is making me physically sick. 80$ for a fucking daylight tank?

>I wonder if it's a better option to buy this, and develop by myself and scan ( i got a v750 pro )
If it's better, what chemical should I buy ?
you can get decent results from both 35mm and MF with a v750 (though a dedicated 35mm scanner or a DSLR with macro lens will yield better results). As far as chemicals go, (assuming B&W) you only really need a developer (Rodinal is the standard but you can get better ones) and a fixer. I bought mine for 10$ each at a local camera store and they lasted me maybe 8-10 rolls so far.
>>3047467
The LabBox is a simple clone of an older design by Agfa. These are called the Agfa Rondinax tanks, there's a lot of information on them.
However, you really don't need one of these special tanks. They're a lot of effort and have a lot of downfalls.
Instead, get a regular 2-reel Paterson tank. Buy the chemicals (developer and a fixer) and then find a dark place (and I mean pitch fucking black) and that's all you need.
People make film development out to be dark arts but it's actually insanely easy. Just look up any tutorial on youtube, super easy my man.
>>3047477
****some chemicals age super quickly
Most modern developers and fixers are pretty stable. I've got a year-old bottle of Kodak HC110 that still develops film as good as it did a year ago.
More specialised chemicals like those required for C41 and E6 processing go bad a lot quicker, so you're right on that front.
And the quality from this tank will be just as good as any lab/studio. What do you think they're doing differently to any hobbyist who develops film? It's all the same chemicals, photo labs aren't conducting secret black magic when they dev film
>>3047479
