/fgt/ - Film General Thread

I have a riddle for all you /fgt/ers;

Ilford FP4 developed in X-Tol 1+1 in a Jobo at 24 degrees comes out foggy. Other films developed in the same tank comes out fine. All of the films are prewashed well.
FP4 from the same batch is developed in the same chemicals by hand in a Paterson tank at 20 degrees, and comes out fine.

What is going wrong?

What about other films in xtol 1+1 at 24°C in the Jobo? Maybe it's haunted, or has a very specific defect in a light seal somewhere; I have no idea how Joboes work in that regard.

Question : is it possible to develop films in RA-4 ? does it worth to try it (it's on sale on my favorite seller) ?
Also, Can you dilute C-41 like Rodinal ? Like 1+1 / 1+2 / 1+4 (I think 1+100 is not possible)

>>3118379
C-41 is reused, not diluted from stock. What you can do instead is pre-develop colour film in 1+100 Rodinal, standing, for 10 to 30 minutes, and wash, then develop per C-41; this has the effect of pushing contrast in the shadows more than highlights.

I've heard of people developing paper with film chemicals (with weird development times and limited capacity and caveats like that), but that the other way around will always make for shit results. Main reason being that film needs far finer development from paper, and that there's much less of it.

There's recipes for making your own C-41 equivalent developer out there, though. Slightly "hotter" than the store-bought three or four bath kits, but still fine.

Perhaps FP4+ is just more finicky about temperature can't handle 24°C. Why did you develop it at such a high temperature to begin with?

Obviously not him, but it handles 24°C without fogging here - at least in D76.
24°C is current room temperature here and I always got a 10 l canister of water to rinse so no larger differences in temperature occur.

Sorry for deleting the other post.. checked prices after typing.

>35mm film developing kit
No developer or fixer. You have to buy these as well.
Just checked and you can get a developing tank for 20-30eur at ebay. A chaning bag is 30-40 eur. So it would be ~30-40eur for measuring stuff. That's a little too much considering you can get those at a 1eur store. For smaller amounts (~20ml) you can ask any doctor and they give you some syringe for free.
You don't necessarily need a changing bag if you manage to get a room light tight, but I wouldn't want to miss mine.

Yeah, everything about home developing is overpriced. Mainly because it's gear that saves in running costs, so people figure they'll have their shit paid off in X rolls and then it's free. Which is true. But still, a plastic 30ml measuring column shouldn't cost 15€. Garden stores sell those, for measuring out fertilizers and so forth, for 2€ apiece -- and even that's quite salty.

Same with reloadable cartridges. Shit costs like 3-4€ apiece, so they take two uses to pay for themselves. Again very reasonable, but old film cartridges can be reused three times to pay for them and the film that came in them. And they'll have a DX code, for people who care.

Now that I've whined about it, on the flipside this is niche shit and it's remarkable that the gear's available for less than extortionate prices at all. Guess they're competing with estates and such in the end.

>>3118374
Other films were developed in the exact same tank as the FP4, and came out perfectly fine.

>>3118544
We do all B/W at 24 degrees, to cut down on time, and to make it easier to maintain consistent temp (it's easier for a Jobo to heat something up a few degrees than to cool it down).

FP4 has been fine at 24 degrees for years, and I haven't heard they've changed the emulsion.

>>3118653
You can easily stretch the chems past 25 rolls with those C-41 kits.

I'm mainly a 35mm film shooter and lately I've been trying the 120 format.

Is there a difference between the 35mm version of the film and its 120 version?

For instance the Neopan Acros 35mm and the 120?

>>3118773

it's bigger

>>3118773
It's the same emulsion, cut from the same sheet that comes out of the coater. 120 is just larger (6x6 frame is over three and a half times larger than a 35mm frame), which means smaller depth of field relative to aperture, allowing you to do subject separation with DOF more easily and with lens stopped down instead of wide open. 120 also has the benefit of mitigating grainy emulsions, because each grain is smaller relative to the total size of the film sheet than with 35mm. So if you have a shot on say, Rollei RPX 400 in 120 and 35mm, and scale down scans from each to say, 1080p, the 120 shot will appear less grainy.

>Definition of dichroic fog

>photography : a clouded effect or stain that is greenish by reflected light and reddish by transmitted light and is due to the deposition of very finely divided silver usually on the surface of a film or plate during processing

I would wager that your dev or fix is over capacity and needs replacing.
If it is in fact dichroic fog, I believe you can manually wash it off, however you do risk scratching up your film.

seeing as this is a LF focused film thread and you guys posted rangefinders. I have been tossing around the idea of sourcing semi-silvered mirrors to fix the rangefinder on my crown graphic. Thoughts? I suspect a 4x5 walk around is probably a waste of film when I have a Rolleiflex TLR

Hey /fgt/, had a quick question about the flash mode on the original YE35; I tried hooking up a Vivitar electronic flash 2000 to the PC sync on the Electros side and when set to flash mode on the lens it will only fire in bulb setting with no flash. What could be causing this? I know the answer seems apparent that maybe the port doesn't work but it would surprise me considering this particular model looks to be in near mint condition.

If you're in Australia there's a guy who routinely fixes these cameras, I can hook you up if you are

>>3118871
nice, would like a bit more breathing room between the subject and the left edge though. A bit more sharpness and resolution would obviously not hurt either

>>3118872
neat sense of scale and action, I like it. Again with sharpness and resolution, but it's probably a problem with scanning and not the negative

>>3118874
not a huge fan of this one, for skate I feel like you need to be a bit closer. the compression of the lens has distorted the skater which should demonstrably be the subject in the photo

>>3118875
not amazing, could use a little contrast boost and a realistic black/white level. I feel like this could have worked on colour film, especially if you lined up the strawberry and the cloud

>>3118876
I like this, it's minimalist and the contrast is quite nice.

>>3118877
it's okay, I can see the juxtapostion you were maybe going for. Needs a little adjusting in post and maybe a tad tighter lens but I can see what you were going for

>>3118878
this desperately needs post processing. Can't really see what the photo is because everything is very similar hues of grey

also maybe next time make a new thread if you're gonna dump photos, since it'll be exposed to more people and it'll probably push some shitty gear thread off the last page

>>3118446
The shadow on the left looks really unnatural, did you Photoshop that to be so dark?

How should I digitize my 35mm negatives?

>>3118836
viewfinder is for quick composition, the rangefinder is on the side which is coupled to the focusing gears. Higher end cameras like the linhof master technika have specific cams for each lens but the crown graphic is optimized for the 135mm.

>>3118874
Should've been closer or used a slightly narrower focal length. Shutter speed is too slow, should've been past 1/2000 or at minimum 1/1000. Fill flash would've helped freeze motion, but not everyone has FP stuff at hand for daylight or enough power to fuck the sun at 1/60. Focus is too far forward. Pic doesn't depict the trick definitively; that looks like a high FS 180 but it could be anything-late-ur-mums-a-ho. And what the hell is that in the upper right corner.

On the plus side: composition is correctly against the sky, not a buttshot, whole board in frame and not too much to the side, I like the terrain towards the foreground and the house at the back. Sky has rendered well.

I recently traveled with a bunch of Portra 160/400 in a case that was left exposed to sun in 95 degree weather for 8 hours at a time for about 4 days. Is it going to be fucked?

Is Lomography color negative film any good for 120? I'm thinking of using it as a (slightly) cheaper alternative to Portra. I don't like the feeling of using Portra for snapshits

The rolls are potentially fucked. Itd be one thing to leave them in heat like that, but if the sun was beating down on them that's not good (they probably hit 130°+). Shoot a test roll.

Fuck, I have two rolls left and they expire next month. Wondering if I should use them before that.

Looked at prices the other day and it is $20 for an unexpired roll. That is a lot.

Ahh I was talking about the Provia. I am looking at 135 too.

Haven't tried pro yet. They only make Pro 400 in 135 right?

Yeah, I'm talking about the Provia 400X...¥3,500/pack.

Pro160NS is dope (pic related). Pro400 was 120 and 135 but has long been discontinued and was replaced by 400H.

And I got spoiled with c41, being able to drop off a half dozen rolls, grab a coffe, then come back and have them all developed was so nice. Hate having to wait 3 days, my local place has to send them out. I bet it may be faster if I went directly to where they are sent.

And I am disappointed I didn't see the 400 on amazon. I'd like to stock up on some Natura 1600 myself, seems to be getting hard to fond.

c'mon pal, Fujifilm ain't about to re-release anything.

>>3119817

that's true, fujifilm is actually going the other way and removing everything, and putting all film power toward shitax

What are the sharpest lenses you can get for a Fed 2 and/or Canon A1? I feel I'm taking some good shots but I'm let down by the bog standard lenses that came with it and I'm now willing to spend money on a lens.

>>3119846
Nearly all LTM (aka m39 for rangefinders) glass is old-school and relatively low-fi. Generally you'll look for the Jupiter 8 50mm f/2 sonnar copy, shouldn't cost more than fifty bucks for a good one. The Jupiter 3 is also very good, but it's not so good as to be worth the current price. As for the Canon, I have no idea.

But really, without investing like a kilobuck or something, rangefinders don't really get hi-fi. The 52-ish mm f/2.8 Industar you'll have is 70-80% of the Jupiter 8, which is 90% of the Jupiter 3, and so forth. Returns diminish very quickly. Fun to have both, but if you feel limited by optics, then a different platform may be the cheaper option.

>>3119846
If no leica glass, maybe some canon ltm, or the 21/25mm 4, 35mm 2.5, 50mm 2.5 CV ltm.

Just took a few shots and it sounds like a metal squeak sound from the shutter. I have a canon ae-1 that I normally use, but because I just got this one I was going to take it out. Should I be concerned?

where's the best place to buy film at its cheapest

>>3120112
What the fuck is this, the Negative Feedback Facebook group? Google it.

>>3120123

I don't use google niggga, I just wanted to ask jesus lord calm down.

Little confused here, guys. Should I use the sunny 16 rule or go by what my light meter says? For example, with the sunny 16 rule shooting 400 ISO film I should set my shutter speed to 1/500 and change my aperture accordingly to the natural lighting conditions. This means that my shutter speed will always be 1/500, correct? But using my light meter, both my aperture and shutter speed will change upon conditions. This seems to make much more sense than the sunny 16 rule. So I'm on 400 ISO and set my aperture to 5.6 because of the lighting, my light meter indicates that I should use a shutter speed of 1/125. Which should I use? Because the light meter seems to make more sense to me than sunny 16 and keeping your shutter speed the same.

>>3120149
It doesn't, it means that at 1/500 you should have around f/16 in sunny conditions, but you could choose any configuration of exposure settings that gave the same exposure, like 1/2000 f/8 if you had a fast enough shutter

>>3120076
This is a common issue with the Canon A-series, and isn't a huge deal short-term. It's basically some dry lubrication somewhere in the shutter mechanism. It can affect your shutter speeds over time, so it's worth getting it fixed if you notice it actually affecting your exposures.

>>3119846
As far as FD gear goes, the 50 1.4 and 35mm 2.0 are my favorites. Most of their primes are quite decent, I don't know of any particularly crappy ones outside of the 50mm 1.8 and maybe 28mm 3.5. Spring for the older, breech-lock mount lenses (they have orange lettering instead of green) for way better build quality.

The nFD's have the SSC coating, so if you're getting SSC FD's it's fine. Many of the optical designs are similar, as well, and on some lenses (the FD 35mm f2 being one) the breech lock optical designs are better. Overall, it's mostly personal preference, but I've used both nFD and breech lock and vastly prefer the latter. Either will take pictures tho

>pic related

Going through and testing all the knobs and knicks, I've found that at shutter speeds lower than about 250, the shutter will stick open until I reel the winder back. Visited my local camera shop and the owner told me they don't do this type of repair anymore. He also mentioned that if I do try to ship the camera somewhere for repairs, I'll most likely end up spending more than what the camera is worth.
I'm going to get a second opinion at a different camera store downtown (Houston, Tx). But I wanted to ask you guys if it's even worth going through the trouble of looking for a place to repair. I'm not knowledgeable enough to repair it myself. Thanks for any replies

Yashica TLRs are worth generally $100 or less. A CLA which would probably fix your problems will usually cost $150 or more.

Honestly, you're better off keeping it as a decoration in the hopes that it will be worth more years from now but they made an absolute shitton of those.

If I'm shooting a portrait say at f4 on 200ISO film on a day where for a landscape Id choose f11 with 1/250 ss, would i need to decrease the shutter speed to compensate for the increase light intake at the wider aperture size?

>>3120447
Yes, you'd need to adjust your shutter speed to be 3 stops faster to account for your aperture being 3 stops more open.

1/2000 @ f4 would be the correct setting in your example.

>>3120447
a 1 stop increase in aperture is compensated by a 1 stop faster shutter speed

so f11 1/250th, f8 1/500th, f5.6 1/1000, f4 1/2000, f2.8 1/4000 and f2 1/8000 all let in the same amount of light (though some films react weirdly to ultra short exposures to light, but chances are your camera only goes up to 1/1000th so it's not something you need to worry about).

Learning the exposure triangle is a good step in photography, it'll help you more objectively understand light and exposure and make you rely on your light meter less

What about the time? I bought a kit some time ago and it says it can only be used for 6 weeks. I shoot maybe 1 colour roll every 2 weeks, so I'd waste a lot. I could only mix half and stretch it to 12 as per the manual, but even then I'd never come close to breaking even compared to just having it developed (which is only €2-3 in NL). I have a can of Protectan, couldn't I make it last longer with that? I really want to get into colour development and printing, since I like B/W so much and I'd like to be able to do everything

You're definitely not gonna be printing color at home if what you mean is optical printing.

has anyone else tried the Pakon scanner and left less than impressed.

recently got some lab scans from a new lab, and they have a Pakon. Got the biggest files that it would spit out (3000x2000). The colours are bang on and super accurate, but the detail is just not there.

I have a Plustek at home and honestly it resolves an incredible amount more detail

The case for the lens is a waste though, it gets dust everywhere when you open it. Otherwise everything seems to be working.

It should be illegal to make things this small and cute. I love how the hipster tax goes away if the light meter isn't functional, as if anyone needed an uncoupled match-needle one for daylight snapshitting.

I've never touched one but I love small cameras. How is it when it comes to changing shutter speeds and aperture. I usually try and shoot very decisively so it being quick is very important.

just copped for free, what are your thoughts

>>3121006
I backed that for the 135 module and the 120 module plus main unit etc. It smashed a bunch of stretch goals, and it's based on not just an existing design (Rondinax, dank shit in its day) but working prototypes.

However, it's half italian half swiss. So, italians on Kickstarter, you know, and the gnomes of Zürich. I'll wait until the new year before denouncing them for failing to deliver.

If they do deliver it'll be just the coolest thing for processing the odd one-off roll. I'm guessing slav tier quality, leaky in terms of fluid but not light so much. On the other hand, second-hand Rondinax units are reputedly still reliable if (IIRC) some water seals are replaced. Don't know about that continuous agitation business.

>>3121006
I suppose its alright for casual film dabblers if they can actually deliver it on time with no glaring flaws in the initial run. However I see no real advantage over using a metal or Patterson plastic tank besides bypassing the need to learn how to spool film into the reels manually (hence only for casuals).
I've been developing my own film for years on the go with a Patterson tank and changing bag, eliminating any need for a completely dark room. Plus I can develop more rolls if I use a multi reel tank, whereas the Lab Box can only develop one roll at a time.

The thermometer has my interest.

Seems like a nice simple little thing to dev my first few rolls on.

What's with the constant hype over the Nikon F3 as superior to the Canon New F-1? This seems paraded around everywhere I look, but it doesn't seem to actually bear out in the facts.

>Both are electromechanical SLRs with aperture priority and a 1/2000 max speed
>F-1 has more mechanical speeds than the single mechanical speed on the F3
>F-1 has an arguably better viewfinder display (no LCD to go bad, the internal illumination lasts 15 seconds instead of 3)
>F-1 has shutter priority capability
>Build quality on the F-1 approaches Leica levels of heft/solidity, at least in my experience.

These are minor quibbles in the long run, but small reasons are usually held up as reasons the F3 is superior. Speaking irrespective of lens lines, is there a reason the F3 is seen as so much better?

>>3121448
Shutter speed dial is easy to turn although you obviously can't see which setting is selected unless you lower the camera to look. The aperture control wheel has a locking mechanism which isn't very handy at all. If you're small handed you'll probably have an easier time. I'm planning on using it in steady daylight conditions where I can just preset everything and snap away.

Any glaring reasons not to go in for one of those big Fuji 645/690 rangefinders?
I have a Yashica Mat, but I'm not super into 6x6 and the thing is clunky as a son of a bitch when you're trying to shoot handheld. Figured the Texas Leica style would be easier to handle, but I don't know if they have reliability issues, or any other concerns

>>3121658
Popularity of Nikon as a professional brand, mostly due to their early F series cameras being the most common in working photographers during the Vietnam War. And Nikon did beat out Canon with the release of the F3. By the time the F-1 came out, Nikon had already most of the professional marketshare be it War/Outdoor/Street photogs and journalists praising the F3.

>>3121765
That makes sense, yeah. Just wondering why now, now that they're both decades-old cameras. The Nikon F3 gets reviewed everywhere while the Canon F-1 remains pretty obscure.

I'm gonna say your darkroom fucked it up, all my lomo 35mm 400 iso came out nowhere near as grainy as this
pic related

>>3121769
Also you have to remember how these cameras are remembered. the F3 was praised for even a decade after it's release, hell it still overshadowed the F4 and even the F5 (in some ways). The advertising campaign was HUGE and the designer for it was a very well known sport/race/luxury car designer. Meanwhile the F-1 came a year late, the advertising wasn't as strong, and even then people didn't care much for spec sheets, just how well regarded the camera was. Don't get me wrong, I've owned either of them at one point, but it was the timing that killed the F-1, and the fact that the updated version was basically a re-hash of the old one in the eyes of a consumer.

>>3121252
>>3121251
I like it to be honest. You might be able to do some marketing with this.

>>3121658
The main way that the F3 is inferior to the F-1, aside from lens selections etc., is that the shutter speed illuminator button is garbage. No, let me correct myself: it's ABSOLUTE, RANCID, THOROUGHLY PUTREFIED IN AN OAK BARREL HORSESHIT. It's the single, sole reason I went to the Olympus OM system instead of Nikon, despite having a D610 to use Nikon's glass but not adaptable w/ the OM mount. (the TTL flash is also nice.)

Aside from that, lovely bit of kit innit, can't bring myself to flog mine off either. Even if the shutter release has only spring resistance for tactile feedback; the 80/20 metering and the smoothest wind lever make it worthwhile. No inclination to ever use it again either.

Also, the F3's LED doesn't go bad. That's just paranoia that Nikon had about it, being relatively new technology and all. The backlight bulb does go bad, of course, at least in the pre-HP prism.

What's the best Fixer you can dilute or reuse etc
i use rodinal as developer and the mixture fixer from my university but decided to get my own
to dev at home !
thx !

>>3121941
any fixer can be reused

I use ilfostop and reused mixed fixer 5 or 6 times before chucking it. Could probably be reused more but I'm paranoid

>>3121942
so let's say this Tetenal Superfix Plus says
>1+4 up to 1+9
does it mean i dilute the whole bottle with 1+4
and pour the whole mixture in a can then when im done developing and fixing i pour it all back again ?

>>3121943
nah you only dilute what you need, concentrate lasts far longer than mixed chemicals. I usually develop one roll at a time, which is 300ml of chemicals. So if you're mixing 1+9 it's 30ml of fixer + 270ml of water. Then once you use that fixer once, you pour it into a seperate container and reuse it next time you develop.

No need to mix up the entire lot at once, unless it's powder (but usually you mix the powder into a concentrate and then dilute it when you use it)

>>3121270
I remember these being posted as well :/

>>3121945
thank you friend !

>>3121941
I use ilford's rapid fixer, diluted 1+4 to make one liter at a time. Then I use old fixer to fix for 3 minutes, and then fresh fixer for 3 minutes. Once the fresh one gets to 15 rolls per litre I mix more and cycle the old one off. I'm pretty sure I could go much farther than 15 rolls, but it comes down to 30 total and I can use t-max with relative impunity since it seems to only fuck the first fixer bath it's in. (or fucked fixer is regardless able to take the edge off. whatever.)

The thing to remember is that neither working-strength fixer nor fixer concentrate keep. Even the latter will go halfway duff within 18 months. So looking at the economics, not fixing with fresh stuff is a waste in both things expiring on you, and in one day having that tragic underfixing accident (and hastily tossing the negative before asking online) for no actual gain at all.

so I just got a Nikon 8008s and some TMax100 (I realize now that this is expensive film - the picture on the website made it seem like I was buying several canisters) B&W for my first time ever trying to shoot film. I've been doing digital for a few months now and figured I would branch out. Any tips on what would look best with this combo? I prefer landscapes, but this is just to test it out.

Nice camera, pretty basic but good quality lens

>>3121966
How are you storing your concentrate? Mine is like 17 months old and the previous dilution I mixed about 3-4 months ago still clears film in one minute. I've heard people having their Rapid Fixer concentrate last well over 2 years.

Any good lightmeter phone apps?

Is the distortion really that bad? Got the 2.5 skopar and I'm looking for something faster. The cron 2.0 is less than 1 stop faster, but 3-4 times the price, while the CV 1.2 is too large/heavy imo. Only lens left is the summilux, but madame is not going to be happy about this investment.

Got the film developed. Only the last 5 shots were ruined. Absolutely stunned considering how long the back of the camera was left open

>>3122408
This was a shot heavily angled down, more to judge maximum resolution and so forth than anything else. And I couldn't figure out a way to better compose successive 1800s fortifications with the moss and weeds and such that'd grown around it afterward. Plus it was like 6 AM and effective ISO 50.

As for distortion, I wasn't outright disappointed. It's clearly a hifi lens compared to basically anything soviet, even wide open. Currently I'm thinking that the leicafags doth complain overmuch.
