That thing looks neat as fuck.

The Olympus Pen F looks fucking incredible and well ahead of it's time - but is it worth getting??

>>3103103
i own the x3 and the xz2 id really love the x4

>>3102847
Thanks, I'll try to look in that price range. And with heavy I meant heavy looking, because if I'm going to take pics in public I don't want to be "that" guy. Cameras are already a usual theft target so anything looking like it might have any extra/unusual value as an antique (like a TLR would) is a no-no.

So far I've narrowed it down to a Bronica SQ-A which is fairly modern looking and can be easily found at a fair price (a little over 200€-250€)

I'm also getting the Holga btw. If I managed to trigger some anon on 4chan bad enough to have him samefag and pat himself on the back it can't be such a terrible idea.

>film is cheaper and for poorfags
I don't understand this sentiment. The body and lens, probably. But the scanner? Chemicals? Film rolls? It adds up so quickly.

>>3103111
I've never heard anyone say this.

>>3103111
literally who says this?

Not sure about you but i take my time when shooting film, i don't just go willy nilly shooting anything and everything, its an art form that takes patience if you have it.

>>3103111
Depends on which person you ask. Nobody ever said that the reason they use film is because it is cheaper.

Within the setting of using film though, getting a scanner and chemicals so you have complete control over developing/archiving is basically the best thing you can do cost-wise in the long run.

>>3103138
You have to consider the angle of view, there are three: diagonal, horizontal and vertical. Generally you'll have to consider the diagonal. Here you go with a complete chart.
First you have to decide which series of lenses you want. The newer the more plastic is used. I always recommend and I only use C series lenses, the first one. All metal and glass, basically indestructible.
Also: C lenses can be with or without the T* treatment, the chrome ones have no T* (except a rare transition series), black ones have it. When buying wide angles lenses always choose black ones, when buying over the 80mm you can buy whatever you want.
You'll have to start with the normal, 80mm f/2.8 lens (equivalent to a 50mm in 35mm), it's not too long, not too short focal length, also compact.
Then you can buy the 50mm and the 150mm. Those three lenses form the basic perfect kit.

Thanks. Looks like 80mm is about what I want. Been shooting 50mm on ny 135 camera pretty much exclusively.

As for bodies, I see there are different versions of the 500. Is a specific one better?

>>3103156
It depends, I personally prefer the 500C/M, it's older, yes, but it's also completely mechanical, with better construction and it's reliable as fuck.
After Victor Hasselblad death the company started producing better performing cameras but not considering that those cameras eventually in the future would have requested a lot of work to come back in working order. The example that fits perfectly is the Palpas internal coating, now most cameras built in the 80's are unusable due to the degradation of this anti reflection black coating. You could also consider the 500C but it's more likely to need a good CLA, and also you can't change the focusing screen easily and the default one is shit. Also it only costs around 70 euros less than the C/M.
Be careful, there are also some transition cameras branded as 500C but they are 500C/Ms, their serial starts with UV that means 1971 as year of production.

How much should I be looking at for a C/M with an 80mm?

Looks to be about 140000円 on ebay, but i doubt that is the best place.

I don't know the quotations in Japan.
In Europe you're buying at a really good price if you spend 400-450 euros. 550 is the honest price.

>>3103270

That is roughly 70000円.

So that is C/M body, film holder, non-metered viewfinder, and 80mm lens?

I might go check out sone local camera shops and see what I can find. Seems like old film stuff is quite expensive here. I had to hunt to find the 135 slr I wanted, and the price was kinda high compared to the states.

Yes, A12/A24 film back, waist level finder, 80mm Planar C T* and 500C/M body.
Also try to buy bodies built between 1971 and 1979 (so serial numbers starting with U). You should check on internetional sellers on eBay.
I paid for my whole kit (2 backs, one body, three lenses and several others accessories) less than 700 euros but I bought every piece one at a time, and I used to constantly look on various online shops to find the best gear at the lowest prices.

bought one recently, it´s really fun to shoot, but the viewfinder is tiny and extremely dark (especially with the ft), film often gets stuck while rewinding, some of them got ripped apart (never happened to me on any other camera)

Canon 50mm f/1.4 SSC, relatively economic and really high quality, best lens to start with. I'd recommend to buy the breachlock version.

So I got some old (not expired) iso200 120 AGFA from a local SnappySnaps.

Shot a test role on a newly purchased Yashica 124g. Dropped it off at local family-run developer.

They process and scan 35 for £3 a roll and 120 for £5, they've have never let me down before.

So when they emailed me back the film I was quite surprised.

What the hell has happened?

Can anyone shed any light?

What's the best film camera to take pictures at parties/clubs with friends?
I've been taking Fuji Quicksnap Fashion's or a shitty Minolta Riva zoom with me for a while but I want a more solid camera without it being very big or bulky.

Olympus Mju II seems a solid choice but that has seen a bit of hipster tax recently.

Any other cameras?

>>3103448
Almost literally any cheap 35mm not-toy camera with a Superia 400 roll will take decent pics if you're used to the quicksnap fashion and that includes raiding your parents' attic for the old family vacation camera. You'll most likely be able to snatch anything for peanuts in your local goodwill or any other kind of second hand shop.

To be honest, if there's a chance of spills and being dropped to the floor and accidentally kicked around I'd stick with the disposables.

>>3103464
This was one of the very few that I thought turned out pretty decent for my first time shooting. Shot this on tri-x 400

>>3103460
Part of that looks like you shot at a very wide aperture, so not much of the scene is in focus. Part of it is low contrast from your scan, which you can fix in any photo editor.

>>3103464
This one is soft, but not quite in the same way. Looks like a bad scan.

>>3103466
This is the best of the three, technically.

>>3103471
Also my first time scanning so I'm still playing around with the settings, and none of these have been edited after scanning.

>>3103459
The problem is I'm used to my F5 and M6, so a certain standard of quality.
I pretty much have no knowledge of point & shoot film cameras apart from Yashica T4 = good. I've always avoided them as the pest.

The Riva is kind of nice with it's 28mm wide end + sliding cover but it's flash is overpowering and the viewfinder the size of an ants thimble.

Also a good way to meter for double exposure is to , exposure one stop lower with each exposure you make

For example I took the photo of the girl and exposed for the sky to get the silhouette so that the brighter portions of the secondary exposure would come through the silhouette

Just got back the first roll I shot with the Minolta X300 I bought from eBay and so far it's perfect. No light leaks, dirt reflecting in photos or light metering errors in auto mode. Maybe 400 speed film is not the most suited for a scorching 100% sunny day at noon (pic related) but so far I'm happy I didn't end up buying a dud.

It is a wonderful camera.

What lens you using?

>>3103834
Get an FE. It'll knock your socks off!

>>3103847
The 50mm 1.7 kit lens.

>>3103849

I hear the 50mm f/1.4 is the best, but all of them are pretty good.

I have been using the f/2 myself lately.

If you can, get your hands on a 35-70 f/3.5 Macro.

Pretty much the only film era zoom worth grabbing.

>>3103327
Omni?
Dig this one a lot.

Thoughts on Rollei RPX 400? It's cheaper than Tri-X and looks just as nice from what I've seen online.

>>3103927
looks fricken grainy.

>>3103927
It's grainier at stock speed than Tri-X is at 800. Still better than Foma though, I like to use it on shitty cheapo cameras like CMEHA to shoot in shitty conditions like pic related.

>>3103927
RPX 400 is fucking beautiful at 1600 developed in HC-110. It's got a "cheap film" reputation undeservedly: it's a real head to head competitor to HP5+ and Tri-X. (but not the discontinued Neopan 400. shit was magic yo.)

Note that its character is substantially different from HP5+ and Tri-X; the former being grittier and the latter having a steeper, newspaperlike contrast. In comparison RPX 400 is more neutral, lacking both the characteristic grit and having a more linear density curve. It'll definitely look different is what I'm saying, but it's a good film.

>>3103924
oui.

X300's are lovely, also less prone to leaking caps.

>>3104011
Low light = bad light. The film and scanner did well in this case, but in order to have detail in all zones one must have light in all zones. I've found Delta 3200 best for stopping action in scenes of EV7 thru 10; at 3200 I can have f/2.8 at 1/500, to f/4 at 1/2000, which ends up far nicer than trying to shoot action at 400 speed.

That unit looks clean as fuck.
Also the 50 1.7? nice.

See if you can get a MD 28 mm f/2.8, you can find them for 20 bucks or so and they are sharp, contrasty and lovely especially for the price.

I should use my Minolta's more, I only still use them for the bokehmaster lens nowadays.

md ii is the best version.

>>3103297
what camera did you use?

>>3103477
Contax G series? Interchangable lens autofocus auto-everything rangefinders. High quality machines with great glass

>>3104048
How much money did the custom B&W lab dev cost? How much do they charge for standard C41 dev?

>>3104120
1.) They are not rangefinders.

2.) Their AF is pretty shit, and they would be terrible for parties/clubs.

>>3103477
T4 is shit. The AF is very unreliable and inaccurate. The MJU II is good, if you can find one for <$100 it's a good buy. The weatherproofing is perfect for parties/clubs.

But like anon said, any point and shoot with a built in flash will work when it comes down to it.

>>3104131
What film cameras' autofocus isn't shit in low light? Apart from very late stage mid-2000s high end SLRs?

>>3104131
>1.) They are not rangefinders.

they actually are though

>>3104125
Custom B&W was the standard pay, only difference is they do B&W developing on Thursdays and Fridays, so I had to wait a bit.
C41 dev (and any 35mm dev) was $6.44. I love the place.

>>3104167

That is roughly what it costs here, and dev only takes an hour or so. Same with prints too I think.

Scans take an extra day.

e6 takes like three, they send them somewhere else to get done.

>>3104175
I don't mind having to wait a day or a few for Dev/Prints etc, mostly since I usually drop them off an hour or so before closing time. You'd be surprised how popular film is here. I've never been to the place and seen the film machines off.

>>3104132
Never had trouble shooting at night with a MJU II.

>>3104133
Calling the G series a rangefinder car is like calling a Porsche with a PDK a manual.

Sure the G series uses a rangefinder, but it uses a rangefinder to autofocus. There no rangefinder experience.

The PDK Porsche has a clutch in the transmission, but that doesn't mean your using your left foot to switch gears.

>>3104132
Don't know about the T4, but the Mju II uses IR to focus. Could focus correctly and just as fast in complete darkness.
(Makes shooting through a window impossible though)

My slides have an ugly blue cast to them.

Seems fixable with white balance once I scan it, but is there a way to prevent it when actually shooting?

>>3104324
If you use cross processed negatives no, if you buy actual slide film it should be expiration fault. So buy fresh film.

>>3104324
Are you shooting Provia 100F by any chance?

>>3104330

Not crossprocessed, not expired.

>>3104332

Yes. Does that matter?

My Provia 400x is a little blue too (but not nearly as bad).

Provia 100F is known to have a slight blue cast. Shoot with an 81A filter for best results.

>>3104344
How hard could it possibly be for Fuji to design a pro-grade film that doesn't have an obvious color cast?

>>3104355
To not have an obvious colour cast in which lighting conditions, dipshit? This is a slide film, not a negative you have to invert anyway or a digishit with auto white balance. Different lighting conditions, times of day, year, weather, they all have different colour temperature. Slide films sre optimized for specific circumstances and that's why a fuckton of filters exist and have been produced for decades. You can't just stomp in, obliviously snap your snapshits and go "waaaaah, this specialised medium I'm misusing doesnt give me exactly what I imaginedit would! shit tilm! get it together, manufacturers!"

Yeesh.

Minolta X-370s

Would it be interesting picking up the Minolta auto flash (220x I think it is) off ebay for an X-300 or should I just go with something more recent that I can also use in my digital cam?

>>3104191
But an x100 or xpro has no mechanical rangefinder but gives you the rangefinder experience

>>3104366
Ty.
I would say it's adequate, it's bigger and way brighter then the waistlevels on other point and shoots but nowhere near let's say a Nikon F.
Distortion is quite severe but good enough to frame and level the horizon.
It's a nice additional feature but shouldn't be the main reason to get especially with the cult tax these days.

As for the rest, it's a swell camera, exposure and AF are pretty much always on point, very reliable and quiet. Lens is sharp as fuck and the brightest of all the T's at 2.8.

The downsides are that after every shot it resets to auto-flash which is annoying and the general size, it's bigger then most slr bodies and made of plastic.

>image contains embedded file.
Sorry no pic of the finder.

>>3104374

360x is what you want.

Has a tilt head.

Not sure about compatibility with modern cameras, but it is so cheap you might as well.

>>3104387
I have a 360px flash, mainly use it for my x700 but when I had a Nikon d7100 it worked on that as well, you have to check the voltages of the cameras hotshoe if you want to prevent frying your camera

>>3104376
They have digital rangefinders by the most oblique definition

Oh yeah, it's a cheap-o $100 scanner. Use it mostly to see which pictures are actually worth scanning and printing. But hey yields some decent results sometimes.

Most scanners/scanner software let you do a quick preview scan.

What are your thoughts on the Rollei 35 S? Looks like a cute little thing. Is it any good though?

it is a shitty scanner, like those little cube ones, so the preview screen is absolute garbage. May as well do a scan and edit.

For B&W I'd do Kodak Tri X, or Ilford HP5 Plus 400.

Color Fuji 200/ Ektar 200 if it's day time, or bright. And Maybe Fuji Superia 400 for better light range.

>>3104489
It's fun, very nice lens.
It'll be a camera you either love or hate, it's designed for a very specific process of taking pictures, if you do anything else you'll find it inconvenient to use. Hard to explain.
If you don't overpay you'll definitely get you're money back if you don't like it so why not try it out.

Don't get an SE, they fucked up the above design philisophy in an attempt to make it a little more accessible and in the process made it a camera bad at every shooting style.

I'll elaborate a bit. IIRC the basic gist of the workflow is:
- In practice it's an aperture priority camera, in that you first decide the aperture, then compensate for lighting conditions with the shutter dial on the fly. The technically completely unnecessary button you have to push to change f-stop makes it clear the camera's been deliberately designed this way.

1. You meter the environment from the hip, focus when you've found the subject.
2. You look through the viewfinder at the last moment to take your picture.
Those 2 stages are separated by design to force you to only care about exposure in the first stage and focus only on composition in the second.

If you like to change exposure while deciding the composition or vice versa you're gonna have a bad time. The camera is deliberately designed to prevent it. It also teaches you not to worry _too_ much about getting the exposure spot on. Pretty liberating.

IMO it's a fascinatingly idiosyncratic camera. Regret selling mine.

What's the scanner that is normally recommended in these threads? The plustek 8200 right?

>>3104562
35mm without breaking the bank = Plustek 8200i SE (AI is just software and a slide target)
Double the money: Reflecta RPS 10M SE (AI is just software and a slide target)

lol what? in practice, you're describing manual operation.

>>3104545
>He fell for the gear jealousy meme

>>3104600
You misunderstand. It's aperture priority in the sense it's only convenient to change shutter speed on the fly, in regular manual operation you can easily change both.

>>3104533
It's in a great cosmetic condition. Get some Ilford XP2 or Ilford Delta 400 or Kodak T-Max 400 for B/W and Portra 400 for color negatives.

Any good tutorials or advice for post work? Just got a shitbed for making decent scans to post on ig and shit, but I have zero real experience with photoshop.

Also my m42 mount lens adjusts the aperture when you change the ring and not right before the shutter opens so the shot will look dark in the viewfinder depending on what aperture setting I'm using? Is this something I'll just need to deal with or is there some way around it?

that's not aperture priority though.

>>3104630
In practice it is, the workflow is the same as Av. Aperture is your primary decision, then you needle match the shutter speed for the exposure. You're just turning the shutter speed manually while newer cameras do that for you.
Aperture is your priority, shutter speed follows, it's aperture priority. Simples.

thats a good scan, because its flat.

this is what id do with that photo. post is really a matter of personal taste. your pic as it is would work great as a pseudo polish cinema still. what i do is to use curves to separate tonality, sometimes i group similar tones in a certain range, and sometimes i boost some specific, narrow range of tones that enhance things i want to stand out, just as you would with a graphic eq to a song or instrument.

i do a first curves to get a general feel fo what i want. then i do a second curves post on top of that to fine tune it. then i do some brightening of highlights with the burn tool. here i did it to the grass and tree foliage, brightening the grass helps making the girl stand out more. finish with a bit of sharpening.

> m42 mount lens adjusts the aperture when you change the ring and not right before the shutter opens
Probably a dumb question but is it actually an auto lens? Does it have a small silver pin next to the mount?
Is it a preset lens (like a Helios-44-2)? If so there are 2 rings, one you set your aperture and a second to close it down right before you make the shot.

Probably easier if you mention what lens you're talking about.

Looks like I'm an idiot, the lens does have an automatic switch that will change the aperture once I hit the shutter button. Silly me

Vuescan all the way, honestly don't even bother with Silverfast. Torrent the pro version of Vuescan, scan to a true raw file (~300-600mb negative), convert and resize in Photoshop (colorperfect is really nice for this, gets the colours absolutely spot on) and then do final edits and touches in Lightroom.

Once you do it a few times you can fully edit a scan in the time it takes for your next frame to scan.

Just dropped my first ever roll of film off yesterday to get developed and scanned. I know the pics will all be terrible but I'm pretty excited. a good feeling lads

>>3104749

I have been using silverfast and scanning at 3200.

The full sized 300 mb scans are jus too big, dont have the space for them.

I assume Vuescan supports the automatic dust/scratch removal too?

>>3104750
film feels are magical. literally christmas feels.

>>3104755
Scan at 7200 and then resize if you want to hit the full potential of the scanner. Resizing gets them down to a much more managable size. And yeah vuescan can do auto scratch and dust removal if your scanner supports it

>>3104756
Yeah I'm excited. I'm more interested to see how the camera holds up (no light leaks, etc.)

I know for a fact since I was shooting in fairly low light the photos will have a lot of shake and that sort of thing, but I'm still learning so that's okay

>>3104748
i like it, but could be a little closer

>>3104757

Cool, dropping a roll off to get developed now. Will give Vuescan a shot tonight.
