I print my own shit using developer I made from stolen chemicals.

Gear question.

How do you /fgt/s feel about the Voigtländer Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4? Heard it's softish and swirly and vignettes like crazy wide open, and there's noticeable field curvature as well, which sounds just like the "desperation f-stop" on my Jupiter-3; and these halfway lo-fi qualities are appealing to me.

(it's also like 300-400 smackers cheaper than the next "real" M-mount or LTM 35mm alternative, which'd cost more than my OM-system stuff put together. but nevermind that.)

>>3106468

I have the 40mm, have only used it on a digital body, but my film body for it arrived tomorrow.

Definately a desperation f-stop, but not completrly useless. Also hard as shit to hit focus with that razor thin depth of field.

>>3106452
Cool, what is it?
>>3106453
What if you tattooed a camera?
>>3106467

This is very accurate since both cameras used to be my dad's. He's running around with an EOS 5d Mark IV or something at this point, I really can't keep up.

No lenses with it unfortunately, but I have a 40mm voigtlander that should work.

>>3106445
Can we see some of your photo notes? I wonder if you've come up with something that makes it worth logging my exposures like this.

>>3106473
Is wide open more of a Sonnar dream machine, or a "my god why do I do this to myself" kind of affair? What's it like from (say) f/2.8? Any sign of "focus drift" besides the usual depth-of-field split around the focus distance?

>>3106475
>Developer.

I made some pyrocat HD, using my uni lab's purchasing system. As we ordered so much shit, a few very inconspicuous chems from Sigma Aldrich were not even registered. Also helps if you have a friend working in finance.

>tfw we have enough stock to make half a million devs

>>3106478
The FM2 is a weapon, a truly masterful piece of work. I have an FE, and Nikon film SLRs, especially mechanical ones, are in my opinion the pinnacle of film camera design.

The Hasselblad, never used one, but I'm sure they are awesome. I always see them being sold off, they are treated as eBay cashcows, no one actually shoots with one because they are worried it'll damage the resale value. If I came across one I'd sell instantly, and buy a Bronica SQ-A or something.

I keep notes whenever using a full manual camera and a handheld meter - especially with new films (to know how it responds to diff. conditions), new cameras (to make sure shutter speeds are okay, with notes on parallax, mirror slap shake etc) or new lenses (to know how they render at diff apertures, how they handle flaring etc).

There's not much to look at (or decipher) here - frame No.,aperture, shutter, meter lightlevel readout (sometimes for shadows and highlights) and notes on what's on the frame or anytning relevant. Basically shit that helps me learn from any potential mistakes/learn how a new cam handles.

I always recommend the Skopar 35mm 2.5 if you're on a budget and not after something faster.

>>3106500
Did that as well. Stopped doing it and also stopped using a meter.

>>3106500

I wish there was a camera that wrote metadata to the film itself outside the frame.

>>3106508
While it doesn't do it on frame, the Nikon F6 retains data from a shot and stores it in the camera or some shit.
That's like the only reason you'd buy one over an F100, F5, or N80.

>>3106508
some MF cameras do that.
>>3106504
Still getting there and that's a major reason for doing it.

>>3106513
Sunny 16 works pretty well for me ;)

>>3106488

Probably closer to a dream machine.

With digital at least, even if wide open you can remove the vignette, and have a pretty nice image as long as your subject is in the center. I like how the bokeh looks, but I'd google it to get a look. Unsure how it performs on film though.

I did not notice any focus shifting, but I wasn't looking for it anyway.

I own a 500C/M as good as new cosmetically and mechanically. Since it's perfection shaped as a camera I wouldn't sell it for any reason. By the way, only pussies are so worried to decrease the value of a camera to end up not using it. I personally care about its cosmetic conditions but of course leaving it on a shelf as a trophy is not an option, that's not what it was made for.

>>3106509
F5, F100, and F90x also retain EXIF-like data, fampai. There's a circuit design on the Internet for building your own serial interface cable; look for "knacks for f5" or "knacks for nikon" or some such.

>>3106504
Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 isn't available to me at the moment; I would've gone for that if it had. And truth be told, less than hi-fi performance wide open is what I've come to expect of all lenses besides Nikon's 50mm f/1.8G; so I welcome it. Unless the color-skopar has a ES40.5 filter thread of course.

anyone got any cool stuff from shooting on 8mm?

The F6's point is that it's still being made (so available to outfits that can't buy used for taxation reasons), it's got a ridiculously good prism finder (reputedly slightly better than F5, if you can believe that), compatibility with digital-era Nikon iTTL flash, and a price tag to rival an used D4. So, compared to F100 and F5 in the used market, very little point. The F6 also doesn't take AA batteries, which is a huge bummer.

>>3106518

Depending on what you want developed, you could ask CSW in Chicago if they take mail in orders. They do 120 E6 for $5, and 35mm for $6.90 which is pretty damn good to me considering what other places (And the few I looked up that aren't) here charge.
Just keep in mind that they only do processing and printing, not scanning.

Real nice, anon. I'm of the same mindset; what's the point if you're not going to use it? It's not a museum piece just yet and hopefully won't be for many years.

Pic related is mine, pretty sure I posted it here in /fgt/ a few days ago. Sadly the mirror + the rest of the mechanism got stuck a while back, so I had to hand it in for repairs.

>The FM2 is a weapon, a truly masterful piece of work.
It really is one of the most robust and mechanically sound cameras I've had the pleasure of using.

Provia 100F. No reciprocity adjustments needed until after 4 minutes. Picture related

Portra. Err on the side of overexposure and you're bound to get something. Extremely easy to color correct in post.

Acros. No reciprocity adjustments until after 2 minutes. Only 1/2 stop adjustment needed between 2 minutes and 16.5 minutes.

I think the A9 did too, right?

>>3106572

The a9 lacked the back screen like the a7. It may have been stored internally or with a certaon data back, but it was not viewable in camera like the a7.

The a7 had a few features that just never showed up in the a9 because film was dead.

got offered 10 rolls of 120 Portra160VC for $40, should i get them?

They're a very affordable way to have a cool MF experience as long as you don't mind being confined to one focal and having a long min. focus distance. The inverter viewfinder takes some time getting used to but it's like riding a bike. If humanly possible, get one with some kind of focusing aid - microprism raster, split prism - pure ground glass guesstimating gets old. Anything in particular you want to know?

In addition to >>3106824 some TLRs have a built-in loupe that can be unfolded to aid focus. From time to time I use my Rolleiflex and usually, I'm pleased with the results.

>>3106824
I also never shot it. Got a single roll in the fridge, which I got from a friend. Same friend who gave it to me shot a roll of it at boxspeed (FM2+50mm 1.4) and gave it to me for development. The negatives developed in D-76 (1+0 9:30min) were quite thin and looked very boring, as they lacked contrast. Until today, that keeps me from using that one roll and at that ISO, I'm certainly better off pushing Tri-X as I use to do.

I would like to add on to this by saying that kentmere 400 can also be pushed to 1600. It is a little softer than tri-x but I like the tone at that speed better

>>3106716
Oh good god yes. The Portra VC films were fantastic. They combined great skin tones with a decent amount of contrast and colour. The new portra films are just a bit washed out and meh by comparison. To me they're not worth the slightly finer grain.

Ok, question. How is it possible to have such inconsistent results with a disposable camera? I know, shit's cheap for a reason but these two shots were done the very same day with the same available natural light and while some are good, most of the roll was a grossly overexposed grain fest like pic related, which shouldn't happen with an alegedly Superia 400 film.

Could it be that the lab scanning sucked ass?

Generally the grain structure is not a pleasure to see in B/W films, film base tends to bend and the only film that I really apreciate is Ortho 25.

For what concerns color film I used their CN200 twice, developed in E-6 and both were purplish. It's not my fault because I developed one by myself and the other one has been processed by a professional lab. Using it as a common negative is useless, it lacks of orange mask, no prints unless you use a shitload of filtration.

>>3107013
It seems underexposed. Those plastic cameras have plastic shutters that can be unreliable. Also only one time and one aperture, that guarantee correct exposure with direct sun light and compensation provided by the flash when not in that condition.

I've used RPX 100, 400, Retro 80s and IR 400.

RPX 100 in rodinal 1+50 = grainfest
RPX 400 pushed to 1600 in HC-110 = surprisingly good, but not better than Tri-X or HP5

Retro 80s @ ISO 50 in HC-110, 1+119 = very fine and good looking grain, not to contrasty. Actually a really good film. Also sensitive to sub 750nm IR iirc.

IR 400 in HC-110, rodinal and pyrocat-HD (what I posted now).
Rodinal = very grainy
HC-110 = fine grain, but contrasty.
Pyrocat = what you see, finest grain of the three.

Pic related was a little underexposed. Also pyrocat

However, the Ilford XP2 one was nice for outdoors. Still a disposable but I got some half decent shots like this one.

To be fair, one is shot into the light and one isn't.
But it's just as likely that there's a little variation in the shutter. The first photo is under, not over, exposed.

>>3107095
I think he meant the RPX films, which are pretty grainy.

Ortho films are some of the least grainy films there are. Not a fair comparison. I really like rollei's ortho film though. Shot one roll in 35mm, less grain than RPX 100 in 6x9. Not too contrasty either for a ortho film. I'd like to try it in 4x5

Jupiter-8 or Industar-26m (with the focusing tab). Both are very passable, but remember that the Jupiter-8 isn't as good at f/2 as the Industar is at f/2.8 -- it's more of a dreamy soft mode.

>>3106975
I've used RPX 25, 100, 400, and Retro 80s and 400s. I quite like the RPX series. Retro 80s is good but has fuck-all for DR, really needs like a F5 for correct exposure. Retro 400s is very decent, high contrast high rez, but again limited DR. All of this in HC-110; I understand they're all worse in Rodinal.

Only push processing I've tried with them was RPX 400 to 1600 in HC-110(A). And it's really quite good, very linear a curve and consistent results across multiple rolls and developments.

And yeah, I don't give two fucks about grain. It's film, grain reproduces texture, line-pair resolution is for pixel peepers & people with lenses made in this century. Also my scanner is full of fuck.

There's also Rollei ATP, deved in Rodinal 1+300. Still very contrasty, but slightly less grain than Technical Pan.

Remembered I've also used RPX 25. It was decent. Reminds me of FP4+, but a lot finer grain.

Purchased this Hi-matic f online for a good price in excellent condition however it was untested. Took the leap and
decided to purchase batteries for it and make a custom bridge for the battery compartment to see if it would work and viola it works!

You are wrong.
Rodinal 1:50 is the dream soup for Retro 80s.
I get plenty of DR out of it exposing for my subject, but it's true the highlights will block up a lot harder than some other films.

Heres a picture of the battery compartment. Ive used 2 sr44 1.55 volt energizer batteries and took apart and old xbox remote for the springs where
the double AA batteries would go to create a larger spring to bridge the contacts on the camera.

This camera originally used two 1.35 volt mercury batteries, that being said the voltage is going to be off with the new batteries but from what I've researched, if you adjust the iso
correctly, your images won't be underexposed.

Im going to be testing this out over this coming month so ill post results if anyone is interested.

>>3107119
Thanks. That's a beautiful example you posted right there. Also suggests 80s on a cloudy low-contrast day.

I've been using HC-110 with it since that became my go-to dev, and wasn't at all impressed with anything I got. Perhaps Rodinal's lower max density (and maybe tendency to compensate?) is a good fit for 80s.

Only reason I'm playing around with a temperamental "weird film" like that is, I heard with good glass it'll make MF tier detail in small format.

>>3107117
I have this camera. It's cute but as I recall the auto exposure was way off, maybe due to the battery chemistry.
>>3107120
I just wadded some aluminum foil up and stuffed it in there.

>>3107120

They actually sell mercury battery adapters.

They take an lr44, lower the voltage, and make it easily fit into the compartment.

>>3107143
yea i was looking at those adaptor they're ridiculously expensive and just for one.

Haha oh man. Samefag from >>3107132 here. Seems I mixed some RPX 100 in with my RPX 400 and not only underexposed it by 2 stops in camera, but also developed it to a time that puts the film at ISO 50. So I've got two stops underexposed, one stop pulled film here. Looks thin but there's stuff there, could be recoverable.

Predictions? Guessing I won't have any blocked up highlights, lel

>>3107108
Man, grain is a fundamental part of black and white film. Of course it can be considered a mean of expression in a picture for someone, a limit for others. For example I prefer fine grain films to achieve higher enlargements and fine details.

Well, usually you take a picture or two at the start of the roll that you don't expect to turn out since the film was exposed to light. Makes sense these pictures would be of stupid shit. What do you do, take a picture with the lens cap on? Of course if you load in a darkroom you can usually get an extra picture.

No he didn't. He went hunting online, found a company that specializes in CLEs, and gave me their contact info. But since I just got it off ebay I sent it back to the seller for a refund.

And if you mean the film back, yes. If you mean open the body itself up, no.

I assume it is just some gear that slipped or something and it is an easy fix. But it isn't worth messing with since I can just return it and order a different one.

You can control the aperture on the original XA, it has a rangefinder mechanism rather than zone focusing. Aperture controls go where the zone focus controls are on the XA2. See pic

when the fuck will digital get to a point where it looks good automatically like film?

I keep being drawn back to film because my digital work looks like shit unless I do 17 hours of post processing, and even then I feel like it's a high-wire act and the photo could fall apart and look like a snapshit if I make one small mistake.

but I've never ONCE taken a photo on film that had that "snapshit" quality about it, sure I've taken boring photos on film but they still have an instant "magic" cinematic quality about them with no post processing and I'm not worried about them coming out looking sterile/flat/unprofessional like digital almost always does.

And it's not just about grain or nostalgia. there are very subtle variations in color and light and shadow that digital simply cannot see and it makes a huge difference.

Take this photograph as an example. it could NOT be captured on digital no matter how many hours you spent processing it. there's simply an ethereal magical quality about it.

but when will digital catch up? I'm not superstitious and I'm sure it'll happen eventually but I feel like people are in denial about the gap and it's causing manufacturers not to invest money in advancing the tech in any significant way. I feel like there's still a huge amount of ground for digital to cross before it's capable of capturing mages like this and yet no one seems to care anymore.

>>3107405
That depends on a lot of factors desu. You might say that pictures looks "ethereal", but some others might think different - so it's subjective.

In my experience Fuji do a pretty damn good job of imitating film with their simulation modes. Also, there is a reasonable degree of tinkering in the settings to get the colour you want.

But overall I do agree with you. My gf shot a roll of Fuji Superia 400, and I did the same. Mine was developed in a shitty pharmacy, and the results are meh, she got hers done in a professional lab and the results are mind blowing. Every film has it's flavour, and a good lab goes out of the way to get it right.

>>3107405
For me it's the fact that with film you can use built-in retina-burning flashes and the pic will come out perfectly fine and correctly exposed with natural colours.

With digital cameras + flash, most of the time people will look like a deer you're about to run over on a road at night.

desu I like it a little darker and moodier, somewhere between what I posted and your edit is more like what I would do for a final edit. It was quite a dark scene so I didn't want to make it unnaturally bright

>>3107431
You pic also purpe af. Did the stones really have this color?

>>3107432
They were quite red, but not as much as what's in the photo. I added a lil green cast to the shadows to correct it. Velvia seems to go quite magenta when underexposed

How does pushing and pulling work, dev wise?
Say I usually develop Foma 200 with Rodinal 1:50 for 9 minutes, what should I change if I shot a roll at ISO 400?

>>3107457
You would develop longer. How much longer I can't say exactly since I've never used that combo, but massive dev chart should have a time for it.

Pushing = underexposing, overdeveloping (longer dev)

Pulling = overexposing, underdeveloping (shorter dev)

>>3107453
How can digicucks even compete

>>3107459
shooting velvia is exactly like smashing the contrast and saturation sliders to +100 in lightroom. shits cash but I hate to see what it would do to photos of people

it's kinda comical how much it fucking overdid the colours in this photo. The field was a dry, light yellow and sky was quite a light blue. took it while motorcycling out in the boonies, god bless Australian winter

They're called Racquet studios. They were the in-house lab for a photographic studio for a while and they've just recently opened it up to the public.

They don't have a storefront yet, but if you text the 'racquet hotline' on the contact page in business hours you can arrange to drop off your film outside their business. once you build a rapport with them they're cool with you just coming up to the studio in person. They're based in Teneriffe near Newfarm

Website is racquetfilm . com

I did suspect that the way I stored it and how old it was affected what it came out like. Generally still pretty impressed since the rolls are 10+ years expired and have been kicking around in the bottom of my camera bag for forever. Not as bad as some Ektachrome from '94 that I shot that came back violently pink (pic related)

I definitely thought the effect on skin would be a lot worse. I've heard it makes caucasian skin super red, but your example isn't too bad. I've got a whole bunch of Velvia 100f sitting in my freezer, so I might try that out with some people shots.

I'm always impressed by just how clean slide film is. Even low speed print film still has grain if you look hard enough, but even when I do 200% magnifications of my high res scans all I can see is detail in the film out-resolving my scanner

It really depends on the light. If it's soft light bouncing around during mid day like that example I posted it's not bad. If it's more towards golden hour, your get red people.
