Portra 160 or Ektar 100 for landscapes? I mean I'll try both and see what I prefer, just wanting to know what you fgt's like better.

>>3080636
Superia 200 (24/36 exp) and Superia 400 (24 exp) are being discontinued while Superia 800/1600 are already discontinued. So Superia 400 36 exp will be the only one available

>>3080647
For landscapes:
Positieve > Negative
P = Velvia 50/100 > Kodak E100G(RIP)
N = Ektar 100 > Portra 160

>>3080647
Depends on which look you prefer. Portra is a little less contrasty and has an overall softer look. At Ektar, the shadows can become greenish.

Here it is.

It is a sloppy scan just to test color and sharpness. I didn't center it perfectly.

The only other scans I have are of family and I'd rather not share those.

Gonna do some more tomorrow, but I just had a 14 hour work day and am gonna crash.

what is a cheap alternative to the ricoh gr? i´m looking for a point and shoot with a fixed wide angle lens and good iq. I´m a big fan of the GR, but I would never spend 500€ on a fucking point and shoot

>>3080669
just scour ebay for any point and shoot. There were thousands of models made, there will be something out there for you

Ricoh made some earlier/cheaper models of P&S cameras so maybe look into those

Shooting slide would be nice, but dev costs of around $30 per roll of 120 is just not justifiable for me, so I have to do my own deving which is why I'm sticking to c41 and b&w for now.

>>3080655
Yeah from what I've seen I think I'll like the Portra more, I guess I'll find out soon enough

>>3080669
The Ricoh R1 is like a budget GR1. They seem to be sort of scarce on eBay iirc and they aren't the most reliable, but they are pretty cheap and very small.

What's the deal with provia 400x, is it not being made, just hard to find or is it Japan only?

>>3080746

Production stopped in most of the world in 2013.

Japan went on to 2015. If you get a roll from that late Japan batch it is still not expired (late 2017 is the latest I have seen).

>>3080750
lame

Is there any slide films that are 400 iso or higher in production still

>>3080753
Nope. Best you can get is Rollei CR200 but that's rebranded AGFA stock.

>>3080754
...and AGFA comissions Fuji to coat/cut all their films now.

I'm going to Cornwall next week and want to take lots of lovely landscapes. I'm taking an EOS 5, 2 rolls of Ektar 100 and a graduated ND. Anybody got any general tips to get the best results?

>>3080754
I think I saw on one of Maco Rollei's clips there's gonna be a CR320 too. Wonder if that's gonna have that ugly yellow tint too.

So while Superia mostly RIPped, Natura 1600 still continues? I only brought 6 rolls of it home from Japan because I don't shoot much C41. Would be sad to see it go.

I hope Fuji has a plan with their film instead of just killing it off one by one. I generally prefer their film to Kodak. I'm fine if they just keep doing their "pro" stuff, alhough I wish they'd have kept a faster slide film around. I have a few rolls of 400X in the freezer and I'm afraid I'll love it and not be able to get more.

Oh shit just inherited a new camera! Im pretty green and dont know if its a good one.

I've been using a Nikon N75, but today i found my grandfathers old pentax. I've been searching for a while after he passed away about a year ago. It's a Super A with two lenses a Tokina SD 70-210 1:3 and a Travenar MC 1:3 70mm. What am i in for? Looking forward to trying it. I think the viewfinder lcd's are screwed though. The little plastic tab on the top is loose (for lighting the lcd's) and i don't know if i should try to open it?

Does anyone live in california around LA? If so where do you get your film developed? The lady who scans my film oversaturates all the colors and I'm looking for a new place (sorry for the dumb question)

I'm asking in this thread again because the other was about to die; Superia or Colorplus? Reminder that Superia isn't being fully discontinued.

As in the other thread: Colorplus for me due to softer colors and (subjectively) less pronounced grain.

Hey Guys, i´m looking for a replacement for my broken Nikon F3, i´m kind of low on cash, so i´m considering to buy an FE. or should I spend more on a FE2 or another F3.

>>3080939
the grain is out of this world. Far grainier than 1600 film

I'm a total newfag and just bought a minolta x700 because i had some adapted md mount lenses. where the fuck do i get my film developed in the united states?

>>3081048
Where the fuck do you live? Google "city/town name" + "film processing" or "photo finisher"

Jesus don't they yeah you kids how to google in school?

>>3081053

maybe he's looking for the advice of some people who have been doing this longer than he has, fuckwit. kill yourself my man.

>>3081053
literally nothing, just some places like kinkos that do prints.

>>3081060
thank you senpai. I'm looking to see if any of you homies use some mail in lab or what the common process is here.

Also, I'm looking to get provia and acros developed. I know some places are shits with slide film and b&w

>>3081069

Print film I take to Costco. Any local lab will do it just fine, it's just the issue of finding the cheapest one.

I mail slide film out since very few places do it locally anymore. Dwayne's is reputable and fairly priced.

Black and white, just do it yourself. You will be surprised how easy it is to do after your first time. You don't need a darkroom or anything, just a changing bag and a developing tank. It's way cheaper and more satisfying.

>>3081048
Walmart, Walgreen's, or ask a local camera shop

>>3081060
Fuck off.

>>3081069
Support your local lab before doing a mail in-service. How dumb would you feel if you were mailing your shit across the country when there was a mom and pop shop around the corner that could do anything you wanted same-day turn-around? Where do you live in the US, give a town/city name?

>>3081114
Fuck you I'll mail my film to Mexico. Fuck Trump, fuck whyte ppl

Hey guys I'm a film student and I wanted to improve my general photography skills in order to improve my filmmaking . I realized I really don't know a lot about technicality and taking pictures . I wanted to learn by doing more photography and I decided to do it with film as that interests me . Could you give me a reccomendation on a good camera and a book to read ? I'm on summer break and I want to build my skills .

>>3081134
Also I'm not trying to break the bank I'm a broke artist

>>3081114
>Fuck off.

No. Be less of a prissy faggot.

Also, the odds of him finding a mom-and-pop shop that does in-house e6 is extremely slim these days, so he basically will have to mail it out, or pay them extra to do it for him.

>>3080963
There are a few reputable darkrooms around the LA Metropolis area although they are all expensive as hell. You are better off picking up chemicals @ FreeStyle and do everything yourself. It's much cheaper and you can have more controls over your film.

>>3081134
>>3081135
70s and 80s minoltas, Pentax, Nikons and lots of others can be had for around a hundred bucks from most camera shops

>>3080978
FE2 is fine, although I would prefer F3HP's viewfinder. Too bad the hipster tax for F3 is way too much.

Yeah, nah. In the past few months I've helped people in these threads find full blown photo labs in their medium to small cities that they had no idea about. I hate jumping to recommending The Darkroom or Millers Lab when I know there are TONS of full service labs in the country.

So kindly, fuck off.

>>3081048
>inb4 the caps give out.

>>3081153

By The dark room that everyone talks about do you guys mean the one in California, San clemente? That's the one right next to my house but was never sure. They're over priced as hell but convenient for my location.

Would i get any good black and white photos shooting at night time without a flash in a city like Los angeles?

>>3081156

Well, I mean, that's up to you my man.

>>3081157

Ya sure I've never really shot in the dark though. Where I live when I'm in LA is pretty dangerous so I'd have to do some leg work to get to a safer part. Just wondering if its possible for them to come out decent with low lighting.

>>3081159
Push Tri-X to 800/1600 and you'll have no problem getting correct exposures with a flash

>>3081154

>want an x-600
>no working models on sale
>just four with a shutter that wont fire

Bet it is the caps, think they are easily repairable?

>>3081160

Interesting I'll keep that in mind. I'm still figuring out the isos and shutter speed thing. I assume you mean the iso. Need to write that down.

>>3081162
If you're new to shooting film/photography in general I would maybe learn proper exposure first before venturing into more advanced techniques like push/pull processing.

But yeah push processing is to do with ISO. So Tri-X is a 400 ISO film, but if you want it to act like a 1600 ISO film you can expose it as such (which means faster shutter speeds in low light) and then add more time in development.

Push processing = underexposing, over-developing

Pull processing = overexposing, under-developing

Push processing results in very high contrast and very high grain

Pull processing results in low contrast (ideal for shooting in difficult lighting conditions) and lower grain

If you're new to film and photography I'd recommend you read the book 'The Negative' by Ansel Adams.

>>3080939
why would adox make good black and white films and then make this lomo shit

>>3081164
I'm pretty sure they don't manufacture it, it's likely very expired stock bought from another manufacturer

>>3081165
>>3081164
yup, most probably agfa shit from the 80s.

Oh great an actual instructive book by a great. I was looking at a few other photographers like cartier, capa, but didn't find something like this.

My first few rolls were all messed up with exposures and shutter speeds so I'm just starting to get the hang of things. It can be discouraging at times but coming on here and looking at the greats gets me excited to go out there and do it again.

I ordered a bunch of these since I was told experimenting is encouraged with film, I'm sure a few will be good for night time shooting.

>>3081167
What are you using to light meter? Does your camera have one built in or are you judging by eye or what?

You got a really good selection there, bit of everything. I'd avise starting with something like Retropan or FP4 as it will be relatively forgiving of mistakes. Leave stuff like Scala and the slide film till a bit later since it's not at all forgiving, and requires very precise exposure.

If you can buy cheap colour negative film where you live I'd recommend buying a bunch of that and just burning through it to get the general hang of film

>>3081155
Yep that's the one, and part of the reason why I find it blindly being recommended stupid. It's what, $15 for a dev + scan + postage if you aren't local? Ridiculous when there are PLENTY of labs in the US. Film labs are not the elusive unicorn lots of people make them out to be. Jumping straight to mail-in processing without doing a bit of research beforehand is silly.

>>3081169

I have one in the viewfinder, I have an AE-1. Didn't know about it till recently and still unsure how to use it. I keep the aperture on A for automatic, and the shutterspeed stays between 60-125 depending if i'm inside or outside. Then the iso I just always leave as is.


Ya it's a good idea to go with the cheap stuff, I get caught up in the idea of all the fancy fun film. I'll start buying some more cheap stuff though.

>>3081171
Sorry, just looked. It's $11 + postage for c41, $14 + postage for e6.

That's more than I've ever spent developing locally.

>>3081173

Just developing? Or with prints and high-rez scans?

>>3081178

I dropped off something today, with hi-rez (no prints included) and shipping cost $22.

X-tra 400 or Premium 400?

And Natura 1600 production is WAY down, only available in single packs now, whereas a few months ago triple packs were available.

>>3081184
For international markets X-Tra 400 will be the only one available. I'm assuming Premium 400 will still be available in Japan since in this article the quote is from Fujifilm UK. https://www.zorkiphoto.co.uk/2017/05/superia-fujifilm-200-discontinued-film-photography/

>>3081187

Yea, most likely.

Provia 400X continued for 2 years in Japan after it was killed off in the U.K.

>>3081178
That's low res scans and no prints. Medium res scans adds $4.

Fuck paying that.

>>3081181
That's ridiculous.

>>3081192

I pay roughly 10 for developing and low rez(2mp) scans at my local place for c41.

I assume e6 is more, but I have not done it.

>>3081193
So you pay less than you would by using The Darkroom. Great!

>>3081183
I've been meaning to try the 50D with a wide angle lens but there are honestly much better alternatives with higher quality at lower prices. For instance Portra is a meme but it is great. Cinestill is also a meme but one that's too expensive to even bother with for more than one roll or so.

All my local labs mail in slide and bw film themselves. A friend gave them some Provia and Velvia and the package got lost.

>>3081156
Of course. Shot some Tri-X at Rome and had to push it to 1600 to get useable EVs.
Expose for the highlights and let the shadows fall wherever they may.
Make sure you use a developer that works well for pushing, e.g. D-76 (picture related), but stay away from Rodinal for that purpose.

fuck sake is Superia 200 really dead? luckily I just ordered a brick of them, though I just started shooting on it and love the results. What's a great alternative? I've got a lot of ultramax 400 in my fridge, but I don't know how that handles flash on my MJUii.

Any suggestions?

Also, I'm being given some Lucky Black and White film, that Chinese stuff. Does anyone know if it's c-41 or not? I won'dt bother if it's not because I can't develop it.

Lucky is traditional black and white film. Quite pretty stuff (it lacks an anti-halation layer).

>>3081293
I'm new to this so I assume that it can't be developed by the c-41 method?

>>3081282

Superia 400 is the way to go.

>>3081301
How's 400 handle indoor/night flash though? I'm too much of a wuss to try put a 400 ultramax through because the costs of developing are so high here. I've only ever used 400 indoor and outdoor without flash

>>3081304

Never tried, but the box says thats what its for.

>>3081318
Cheers, I'll give it a whirl and see what happens. I just won't shoot anything important with it.

>>3081304
400 is a bit grainier than 200. Handling exposure depends on your flash. TTL = no difference for you. Adjustable flash output = half of what you choose at 200 film. Single flash output = compensate the additional stop by closing aperture.

>>3081322
Thanks, anon. My MJUii doesn't allow me to change aperture or adjust flash. I've got an AE-1p but no speedlite, but don't really use it anymore. Wonder if I should pick up another compact that allows me a more manual approach.

>>3081324
mju is TTL, so the only thing that changes when shooting 400 film instead of 200 is flash output. At 400, 1/30s at f/2.8 indoors is well possible and you might run into situations when flash isn't even necessary.
If developing costs are too high, consider developing the film youself. bw is very easy and as long as you got hot water coming from your tap, c41 shouldn't be a problem either.

Thanks very much for the response. For the record, what does TTL stand for?

Yeah, the next step is developing myself, considering I'm going through so many rolls. I'm almost addicted to it, there's something about film. My DSLR is gathering dust now.

Anyway, yeah, I got a bit of work done today with no flash on 200, then put in some ultramax 400 with no flash - we had some nice, soft natural light pouring into the room. I'll be interested to see how the 400 turns out. I know the camera somehow detects the DX code or whatever, so it makes sense that it compensates for the flash.

Honestly, this MJUii is incredible. I picked up the 35mm f2.8 version and I almost want to get another for safe keeping, Great little camera.

>>3081330
You're welcome. TTL = through the lens. Basically, it's a way of measuring light at which the light sensitive cell is placed behind the lens, so it detects the light coming through the lens hitting the film. At flash TTL basically means the same, but refers to a method at which flash output is determined coupled to the measured light. Technically, your mju isn't TTL, as the light is not measured behind the lens, but it's got a built-in lightmeter with coupled flash.
I usually prefer ambient light over flash, but sometimes it's not worth the trade. Depends on the situation, so I usually end up with 200 film and use flash if I think it's necessary.
Only got the mju I, but haven't used it so far. Bought it very cheap and lent it to a friend, who tested it and then wanted me to get one for him as well, so I guess he liked it.

>>3081143
bumb^^^

My glorious F100 has been giving me Err codes intermittently, especially if I haven't shot it for a while. It will throw the code when I shoot, if I shoot again it works. Doesn't matter the lens I use, I don't use 3rd party junk on it so I know it isn't that. Am I plagued with a sticky shutter?

>>3081329
Is this color implosion? If so, is this an underexposed night shot, or does that film look like that when exposed correctly?
Looks like underexposed/expired superia.

>maybe adox/agfa was cold stored from new?
probably. or maybe it was "treated" in some way. ive seen some amazing shit done with color implosion, but it needs skill, id say its not a beginner film, its too much ass as it is for carefree snaps.

>>3081376
Good luck with it. Hard to diagnose a sticky shutter via the internet without a video of how it operates. In some older SLRs the light seals and mirror damper can become sticky, which oftentimes lead to the mirror stuck in upturned position. Check for all possible solutions given in the link. If nothing works consider a CLA, either diy if you dare, or send it to some repair man. Better than having an expensive paper weight.

>>3081388

i'll send it off, i like it too much for it to be a paperweight. guess ill finish this portra roll this week and have a look inside

>>3081386
Thanks for the info. I ordered 4 rolls, so I'll try to make them work.

What's up with all the noobs not even googling the basics of operating their camera before coming to ask stupid questions?

I mean /fgt/ is for everyone but come on, why wouldn't you watch like a single youtube video explaining the basics before you start a new hobby? It's fucking embarrassing.

noob here, sorry we don't mean to bother you with our menial questions. We see you as gods, my N75 was sitting in a corner gathering dust. I did film photography in school, darkroom printing and the whole shebang. but hadn't touched the camera since. I came on here saw the awesome pictures and started lurking on /fgt/. Now im shooting and developing again. so before i go back to just lurking again.

you can try rubbing a pink pencil eraser on the DX contacts followed by isopropyl alcohol on a *damp* not dripping wet q-tip and canned air to dry it. I had a F100 that had some funky battery issue where corrosion of some sort wrecked the DX pins, which fucked with Fuji but not Kodak films. Cleaned it, fixed for a while, left it with a roll in for about four months, couldnt clean it, ended up just covering the pins with gaff and manually inputing. Hated that camera.

>>3081499

Hey I'm a noob and I do this every time, usually I even go into my camera shop before coming to /fgt/ or /p/ at all for advice. We're not all retards, I mostly just lurk these threads

>>3081499

Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 is pretty decent and cheap, but not very compact.

My Minolta X-700 might be bricked (shutter stopped firing), but the lens is pretty good. Im thinking of just grabbing another Minolta body cheap off ebay. Any recommendations? Particularly any with aperture priority modes--I'm still pretty new and don't shoot fully manual that much.

>>3081546
XD7 (or xd11 in usa)
very nice body with manual, apperture priority and shutter priority
I take mine with me everywhere and I can tell u it's working well

So, I checked at my parents place and I could find the old camera an ex-boyfriend handed me down like a decade ago. He really liked photography and used to shoot on an SLR so I guess I got a good one.

It's an Olympus AM-100, and luckily enough I didn't leave any batteries inside so the compartment is intact. Inside, there's still a roll of Superia 400 with 8 expositions left from like... 9 years ago? On the outside it's almost mint condition.

I can't wait to finish the roll up, develop to see what kind of shit surfaces and use it again.

>>3081546
friends x-700 also bricked recently, usually you just need to replace some condensers should be easy to fix

>>3081705
Ok, I'm tripping balls. Just did some google work and this shit was manufactured in 1987, it's almost as old as I am. I never really thought I was using a fucking antique.

>>3081705
>It's an Olympus AM-100
Decent little compact, good find.

>Inside, there's still a roll of Superia 400 with 8 expositions left from like... 9 years ago?
Pls don't tell me you opened it with the film not rolled inside the canister.

>>3081733
Nope, just looked at the indicator, I'm not that stupid lol

>>3081733
>>3081737
Welp I just realised what you meant. This camera has a little strip-shaped window on the back so you can check what roll is inside without having to open the lid, that's how I knew it. Don't worry, the roll is safe.

Can't think of a way to test for light leaks or film advance errors otherwise.

Did...did you open it up to check the film? If so you ruined it.

I got some Ektar 25 in 120 Im not gonna use, what should I price it at?
>>3081864
for manual advance you can re use a short bit of film you dont need and use a sharpie to mark how far it advances when you wind the film

>>3081880
>I got some Ektar 25 in 120 Im not gonna use, what should I price it at?

$1/roll or so.

>>3081880

>>3081888

Shipping from Japan, yes.

Ive tried Ektar 25 in 35mm before - the grain isnt as fine as the new Ektar 100

>>3081889
i think the colors are way better than anything modern ektar can offer.

>>3081876
Nope, just checked a small window in the back lid that shows you what kind of film is loaded. Film is fine.

>>3081134
Go on Craigslist and look for any 35mm film camera made by a well known company, like the few the other Anon listed.

I picked up an AE-1 Program with a camera bag full of extra shit for $100. I never use anything else other than the 50mm that's on the camera. I love it though.
A friend of mine picked up some Nikon for $30 and it's also excellent.
Start looking and you end up finding a good deal.

Film and developing is what slowly starts sapping away at your wallet though.

>>3081134
Buy a used $200 DSLR kit. You'll learn MUCH faster, be able to experiment WAY more, and won't be slowly pissing money away after the initial purchase.

Are there some film photo archives online? I'd like to find some photos pertaining to fashion brands that were prevalent during the 90s and early 2k.

>>3082043
what specifically are you looking for? You'd probably be better off looking at the archives of specific photographers

>>3082044
Looking for photos pertaining to hilfiger, ralph, helly hansen, nautica and some others. Nike and Adidas I presume would be bit easier to find. I have no idea which photographers I should check in this case.

>>3082059
>hilfiger, ralph, helly hansen, nautica

find fashion shows at which these brands usually exhibit, then do a google search by years. You'll have to raffle through a lot of photos but that should do it

I only really know high fashion photographers so I can't really be of any help

>>3082064

>>3082064

>>3082081

Lots of magazines have their archives available, sometimes for free if they are old. Also check out @ninetiesmoments on IG. It's a curated 90s fashion account that lists the photographer's name. P fun to go through.

Why are my photos so blurry? I make sure to align the split circle in the middle every time but this always happens. Also photos are very grainy despite 200 iso. Is my lens fucked or something? At wide aperture it's impossible to get a focused shot.

Ignore the split circle, just make sure the actual image shows the correct focus.

>>3082173
What is the reasoning for this? When the circle is correct I can see the subject in focus clearly but the photos don't turn out the same.

>>3082176
The subject will always look 'in focus' in the circle, you have to check outside it to see what your film will see. This is why I don't like those viewfinders, when they're inaccurate you've basically got a huge useless obstacle in the middle of your frame.

Where should i develop my film? I'm located in Hawaii so my options are pretty limited , I'm thinking about just giving my negatives to McDonald's or a CVS and just hoping for the best. Anyone have any experience with them.

>>3082187
I meant Walmart i don't know where my brain went on that.

So I am looking at getting a nice medium format camera. I am looking at either a Hasselblad 500cm with a 50/4, or a Pentax 6x7 with a 55 and 105.

Don't really have any particular bias towards 6x6 or 6x7, and both cost about the same where I live. Any thoughts?

Pick the one that has been serviced most recently and is in the best working condition.

Hassy will give you interchangeable backs, Pentax 6x7 has massive mirror slap. Hassy service is expensive, but I'm not sure about Pentax MF.

>>3082189

you really should. are you sure you dont? when do you get more impressed? when watching square pics or when watching large format or 6x7 stuff? have in mind that cropping 6x7 to square is just not the same. personally, square feels super natural to me and i get good compositions out of it intuitively, on the other hand, while i love 6x7, and in fact have a Pentax 67, i still cant get such experience with it, so, try to sort it out yourself, its a very personal thing.

Do you mean Superia 200 or C200? I've been using C200 and it's kinda shit.

>>3082161
The main reason for consistently missing focus while using a through-the-lens viewfinder is having it misaligned - basically the sharp focus plane of the viewfinder's surface being different than the film's. Some SLRs have the ground glass resting on a bed of foam that deteriorates with age, for example. Did you try googling your camera model's name + "focusing issues"?

I've never shot film before but i wanted to give it a shot, so i shot my first roll on a camera i got for 30 bucks on ebay and took the film to walmart to get developed before i try home developing, and a bunch of the pics i got back have this green glow in the corners. is this a light leak or is this a scanning issue on their end?

Did you also take shots in bright daylight? If you did and there are no such corners, then there's most likely no light leak.
Further considering >>3082466 it is highly unlikely that you turned the camera upside down to take one of these two shots. The fact, that the problem occurs in different corners further speaks against a light leak.

Do you know how to use a split prism? Google "how to use a split prism" to make sure.

Are you shooting at f1.7? If so, the lens is probably pretty fucking soft wide open + has a shallow DOF. Stop down a bit.

Other possibility is this >>3082296

>>3082187
Did you even try to google? I realize 'Hawaii' means multiple islands...but literally the first page of "Hawaii Photo Finisher" gave me Hawaii Pacific Photo. Their prices are:

>$5/roll 35mm c41, $9/roll bw
>$7/roll 120 c41, $11/roll bw

Pretty fantastic prices imo. This is why I had this rant earlier >>3081114

>>3082189
Buy a Bronica SQ-A instead of a blad and spend the $500+ you saved on film and/or travel

>>3082304
It's fun and once you're out shooting you'll be glad you left yer house.

What's a good intro setup for 4x5??

a friend graciously cut some 6x7 sized xray plates for me. should i develop as usual? do they stand overexposure or do they blow up like most low asa film?

>>3082479

>>3082479
I see big negs and a tripod in your near future

I love the process of shooting film, I absolutely detest the process of developing film.

What keeps you developing film?

>>3082489
What makes you detest it?

I keep doing it because it's easy and far, far cheaper and quicker than having a lab do it

>>3082493
I hate the process of heating up the chemicals because I have to heat the bottles up individually.

I have the Paterson tank because it's a leaky piece of shit, spilling blix all over the place.

And then I can only scan them using my old laptop because the scanner doesn't have drivers for windows 10.

The resulting image is always shitty because I'm not sure why.

>>3082481
>>3082483

Its coming with an L-grip, should I even bother shooting by hand?

>>3082496
So from what I gather you hate *your* version of developing film

- Heat the chemicals all up in bathtub or sink or large plastic basin and an electric kettle

- Buy another Paterson (or just do it in the bathroom so it doesn't matter if it leaks)

- What scanner do you have?

>>3082500
No lol

The thing is a fucking brick. Invest in a decent tripod if you don't already have one

Anybody have exp with this fat little guy? Got it 2 years ago in a grab bag from a desperate flea market seller. Got a bunch of other stuff that I was interested in, so the cam kinda went up on the shelf.

>>3082296
I think this might be the problem. Googling didn't return anything for my srt 201 but I did learn a bit about what you're describing. The foams are pretty much non existent now. Guess I need to get a new body.

>>3082489
I'm almost, almost the opposite, I like dev days. C41, e-6, monochrome it's all g. Maybe take it slower and relax then it might be enjoyable, or more tolerable. I always grab a beer or a coffee and get everything prepared, then load reels and then mix chem amounts then dev. It becomes second thought after a hundred rolls.

>>3082500
Fuck um dude I'd give it a shot, I use a L trigger grip with my c330 all day. Get /fit/

>>3082489
I don't mind deving. Cup of coffee or glass of wine depending on time of day, put on some good music, and get to it.

I despise scanning, but becoming a digicamerascancuck helped that quite a bit.

>>3082514
what beer do you recommend using for the stop bath?

>>3082579
budweiser. some use just water. with either youd be fine.

>>3082509

I am pretty sure the SRT-201 focus screen does not sit on foam. I have never heard of the focus screen becoming misaligned due to foam falling apart on one.

One thing to check is that your focus screen is not in upside down. A lot of people go to clean them and fuck up orientation.

If I remember correctly, it should be matte side up.

I live in Hawaii too and how are you this fkin retarded when there are three known labs on Oahu. Kill yourself

>>3082479
You looking like every other feeble white tumblrina who saw one photo of Paris taken with an SLR and now has a passion for #filmisnotdead

>>3082619
How was your experience with them? I looked into it but I looked at their pricing and sort of mixed with how they do things, one of the labs prices where 5 dollars developing, 3-7 dollars depending on the size of scanning them then 30-70 cents to print each slide. Should I just pay them to develope then just scan and print myself then?

Thoughts on half-frame cameras? Should I buy one?

>>3082702
they are the best.

>>3082702
They're fun but don't expect miracles from them.

Good for making dytichs with, and also useful for when you couldn't realistically be expected to put a new roll of film in (i.e. rock climbing, driving, underwater uses etc.)

The Olympus Pen F series, especially the SLR one, are the best of the bunch.

>>3082682
If you have a dslr set up a dslr scanning system

>>3082189
They're both good, it's up to preference really. Pentax might be a bit cheaper.

I own a Pentax 6x7 with the 90mm and 45mm, and also shoot a Blad with a 80mm quite often. I prefer the Pentax because of the prism and slr ergonomics. Image quality is quite similar, both very good. Pentax is loud as fuck so you can't really be subtle with it, I don't really mind though. Haven't had issues hand holding it, Blad is probably more doable at slower speeds though, I don't really go under 1/60 on the Pentax.

How expensive does it get to develop and scan your own film?
I'm currently using an X-E2, and have been interested in getting into film.

>>3082702
They always were a bit niche, which makes it a problematic format choice. If you end up liking the format, you might quickly end up spending much more than what you save in film costs.

I have four and I use them regularly. But for example, I only have the 38mm lens for my Pen FV & FT because the lenses are rare, expensive, and many of them aren't in good shape.

hey guys, im new to photography and shit. my mom gave me this camera (it was my grampa's) and it has a 73mm lens. can any of yall recommend a 50mm lens that isnt as heavy?

>>3082988
forgot to say, i ned something that doesnt break the bank. right now the majority of my money has to go towards food

Is there a website where I can see what different films produce what kind of photos?

>>3082988
Nice camera! Treat it well. Look up these:

Canon 50mm f/1.8 LTM
Industar-22 50mm f/3.5 LTM

>>3082993
flickr

>>3082781
so just pay them to develope, and scan them myself

>>3082988
What is that, an early Leica or a Canon? Beautiful either way.

>>3082998
Is it possible to set up a ghetto scan rig with an APS-C mirrorless, a tripod and a tablet? Or is the resolution too poor to even consider?

>>3083002
looks like a leica rangefinder, canonetes were slightly taller and more boxy

>>3083007
yes.
but you may want a high zoom macro lens to do so, helps with close up details. and better be a bright tablet.

>>3082997
any suggestions for keywords?

>>3082988
Soviet lenses are the usual bargain option for m39 (aka LTM) bodies. Besides the Industar-22 collapsible (very cool, but coating's bad and rendering is distinctly fifties) f/3.5, there's the Industar 26m f/2.8 for like $10, and then Sonnar variants Jupiter-8 (f/2, $60-ish) and Jupiter-3 (f/1.5, $180-ish).

I've got good copies of all of these, and while all Soviet glass is fairly okayish stopped down, I've found these lenses tend to veer into dreamlike rendering wide open, and all exhibit a degree of uncorrected astigmatism ("swirl") in faraway bokeh. So they're definitely the low-fi option.

But they're cheap, so grab a few and experiment. Quoth the ancient Holga masters, "picture > no picture".

Get a real camera you damned moron.

You get what you deserve.

>>3083076
>>3083078
You need APS film for it. I don't think it's made anymore and it's an inferior format to 35mm (only 58% as big as 35mm), so if I were you I probably wouldn't bother with finding film and then trying to find somewhere to develop that specific type of film.

If you want a film compact, just buy whatever your local thrift store has. You can find a perfectly fine and working compact 35mm camera for pennies these days

>>3082988
gorgeous camera to learn with, enjoy it and take good care of it

Kinda true though desu. Minolta SLRs are by far the least reliable. They are the Alfa Romeo of 35mm SLRs. Except they aren't even pretty either

How often do they have this Matsuri festival in Gion? Will be in Kyoto in July and was hoping I could see a parade.

Gion Matsuri is once a year on July 17th in Kyoto. I think there is also a short practice run on the 16th too.

There are a few other big ones (Jidai and Aoi) and a few smaller ones (pictured) throughout the year.

Honestly it's a massive clusterfuck. I didn't even mean to see it, kinda walked into it. Shot that and got out asap.

July 17th is the biggest parade but there's stuff happening all month.

Honestly the parade isn't all that great. It is extremely hot and crowded. If you do go, make sure to go to a point where they turn. Turning the omikoshi (the floats) is the most interesting part.

And yea, they should start assembling the omikoshi soon, and once they start the whole area gets closed to cars in the afternoon and food stalls and the like pop up.

Are you living in Kyoto too?
