This is the Film General Thread, aka /fgt/.
This is the thread for posting your film images without flushing them down the Recent Photo Toilet.
It is OK to talk about gear in this thread.
>just posting in the /fgt/ doesn't make you gay; unless you're heavily invested in third party A-mount glass

After a protracted absence from the OP role, I feel the /fgt/ has slipped far enough that it requires my gentle guidance once more. You gypsie fucks can't be trusted with anything. How hard is it to post an OC square format image that actually contains some film to start a thread? Why can't you post photos here, for the love of god? It is heartening to see the number of film-only blog threads increasing, even if many of them are started by tripfriends; /p/ is indeed a film board. However, this thread is where we need the rank snapshits to start accompanying one-liner response posts; don't be afraid to fill this thread with the kind of throwaway FILM images that characterise the digital RPT. It doesn't take away from your text-post to attach a little piccy.
>together, we can have /p/ disbanded and split into /vid/ and /film/...

Pretty much any EOS camera has this display,
If you'd also be happy with a physical needle without the stop gradations, lots of pre-LED manual metered cameras will do this.
It's called a match-needle display.

Just got my second roll back, first ever colour roll. A bunch of pictures have what I assume are light leaks. I didn't notice any on my first roll.

Not sure if it's the film or the camera. Can someone help me diagnose?

It's only on a handful of frames and it's not really consistent.

First, read the sticky. Resize your photos before posting.
Second, yes these are light leaks it seems. Get your seals replaced. You could even do it yourself if you are careful, there are guides online.
>>
>>3124077
thank you sir
>>
>>3124078
No worries, on a related note it looks like the shape of the leak is consistent.
>>3124066
>>3124070
If there's a little window on your camera's back do check that one as well.
>>
>>3124080
I've currently got a roll loaded that I started shooting on before I realised I had the leak.

If I wrap the back and edge of the camera in tape will it serve as a ghetto fix to prevent light leaks on the current roll until I can get it serviced, or is this just retarded?
>>
>>3124083
Yes, it is the best thing you can do right now to protect the rest of the film if you are this worried about it. Just don't expect it to work wonders, that's all. Also don't use tons of tape because it will be a pain in the ass to remove and you will get glue everywhere which will make cleaning a nightmare.

>>3124052
wouldnt recommend them unless you're a big tripod shooter desu. I have the old Yashica Mat without a meter. Optically it's fine, but it handles like a cinderblock, you have no option for eye level shooting really, and the parallax will fuck you up any time to try to pack the frame anywhere near your subject.

If MF wasn't already a luxury I can't really afford, I'd have upgraded to another system
>>
>>3124056
The connectors are called lugs, I think if you search for lug protectors or some such shit you'll find them
>>
>>3124320
>it handles like a cinderblock
Could you explain more? I generally shoot static or faraway subjects at a slow rate so parallax etc. shouldn't be much of an issue.

This is on my list to do one day, maybe not Asia in specific but damn, you're going hard and I commend you for it.

>>
>>3124335
It's basically a brick. You only have a waist level finder, so you have to cradle it with both hands at the base, looking down. The shutter release is at the bottom front corner, so if you're ever shooting something in a hurry you can end up doing stupid shit like getting your finger in the bottom of the frame. They aren't that heavy or anything, but compared to any modern design they're clunky as hell.

If you're okay shooting very slowly and deliberately they're a good entry point, but I'm much more of a run and gunner these days and mine has been collecting dust as a result.
>>
>>3124354
Fair enough, thanks for the info.

>they're a good entry point
This was my reason for getting one, I've never shot MF and I'm a poorfag. Any other entry-level suggestions?
>>
>>3124360
Unfortunately no. Unless you're willing to go straight into toy cameras (with their massive drawbacks) or find a 60's or 70's compact or folder in good working order (good luck with the shutter curtain) TLRs are your best bet as a budget option.
>>
I'm going to shoot film expired in the 80's
Mainly color but some of the films in the lot are B&W.
How do I handle the exposure? +1 at box speed? +2? Setting the ISO lower than box speed?
>>
>>3124360
I think the other most common avenue is the Bronica ETRS or SQA systems. Usually only a couple hundred bucks, and solid lenses. Worth looking into, they're a lot more customizable/versatile if you decide you want to try out different focal lengths or viewfinders
>>
>>3124367
Rule of thumb is to overexpose a stop for every 10 years expired. Following that ruie film expired in the 80s means that, for example, 400 speed film should be shot at ISO 50 or manually overexposed 3 stops. 200 speed would be much trickier at 25, and I just wouldn't bother with stuff with box speed 100 or slower.
>>
>>3124368
Cheers m80

>>3124365
>60's or 70's compact or folder
Was also considering this. What do you think of stuff like Zeiss Ikontas? They look like they might fall apart if you so much as sneeze while holding them but also seem to give lovely 6x9 negs.

>lovely 6x9 negs.
6x9 isn't enought to account for a garbage lense with no focus calibration being held on by a rusty, crooked front standard in front of film that isn't held flat, with crumbly, crusty bellows leaking light in between.
I'm sure one in mint condition with a nice Tessar or something would still take very high quality photos in the right conditions, but odds are you can't afford one of tthose, and if you could you'd just buy a Fuji 690 instead.

I just bought a Nikon F3HP, and I think it needs a foam replacement. Any ideas where I should look? Do you guys just get kits on ebay or do you use dedicated sites? tia

I just bought this lens from value village and i realized after i left the store that the upper part is stuck at an angle and because of that the focus ring is stuck too.

Is there a way of repairing it without needing a professional? Everything else seems to be ok.

I meant that you should have chosen more durable cameras to go trekking through 3rd world shitholes with. See:
>texas leica
>actual leica

>canon f1
>gs645s if you really must have a compact 645
The electronic 645's are dank memes, but when it shits the bed you'll be stuck carrying it and a whole bunch of film for it halfway around the world for no reason. And yes, I'd also be very surprised if you got more than 6 or 7 rolls from a set of batteries, esp if using flash, and lithiums are v. likely to get binned at one of the several airports you'll go through, and then you won't be able to find new ones. Again, your cam is now a brick you get to carry around.

Only trash zooms. Pic related, it's the xi 28-105.
Everything else is damned expensive.
>inb4 the zooms are good
Dude, lmao, no zooms are good. Sure, if you forget that vignetting, distortion, purple fringing, CA, apertures faster than 4, and bokeh quality are things, then you betcha, some of them are sharp enough for film use from about f/8 at the wide end and f/16 at the tele end.
And furthermore, almost no menelta primes are good, even if you can find them.
But mainly I have all those smegmas because I picked them up ridiculously cheap. $500 incl the shitty Sony DSLR they were with.
Still haven't got around to testing them all.

I wouldn't travel with the gs645s, too fragile with that stupid plastic lens mount.

I've shot 15 rolls through the GA and the battery is still showing full. I never use the flash dawg.

Good call on the airport though, gunna have to try to be sneaky with muh spares.

The GA is definitely not the most trustworthy camera haha. I figure worst case scenario that GA dies and I pick up a random MF camera. Doubt I'd go longer than a week or so before stopping in a big city and finding a used camera shop. Already have a bunch of labs / shops in various countries noted.

Still a little on the fence about the Natura S to be honest. I could take my MJU II instead...

Both rolls have that happening? You deved both rolls together in one tank?

Does the light area go outside of the frame area on the negative (into the sprocket hole area)?

I've had that happen with stand dev Rodinal too. I attributed it to a bad film back...but maybe that wasn't the case...

Uneven development usually happens because of too little agitation. Stand development recipes usually call for two turns every 30 minutes, or something like this.

It could also be that RPX 25 and/or Kentmere 100 don't do well in stand dev, or don't like whatever the other releases into the developer (assuming you didn't prewash).

Some of the zooms ARE good. The beercans and Secret Handshake are all pretty solid lenses.

Many of the primes are so good that they are still being produced by Sony.

$500 would have been better spent on actual a-mount lenses if you ask me.

So I ran around a nearby park to test my new camera.

Shutter is pretty much silent, meter works great (and seems to give faster speeds than my other camera in similar lighting situations), and it is an overall joy to shoot.

Still not sure how much I like rangefinder focusing though. The patch can be hard to see in certain lighting conditions.

put a piece of translucent tape over the center part of the viewfinder where the rangefinder patch is. It'll dim the light coming through that part of the viewfinder, so the rangefinder patch will appear brighter in comparison.

Buddy, if the zooms were "so good", why are THEY no longer produced?
Be reasonable, newfriend. The reason Menelta zooms developed any kind of reputation is the combination of Leica completely selling out on the R-system's development, and the halo effect of that, accompanied by the fact that they had fuck all decent primes, so people had to pretend to be happy with what they had, much like suckers who buy into M43 try to defend muh 5-axis IBIS today.
And all this talk is just pissing in the wind anyway, because there are test shots for most of their primes easily googleable, because the people shopping for them are sony gearcucks. Most of them are falling apart in the corners of low-res APS-C shots, let alone full frame ones.
And then you get to the prices. Because A-mount is so pleb-oriented, both in the Minolta days and now, the primes are impossible to come by, which is why you end up with stupid shit like the single 35/1.4 RS on ebay being listed at $750US, or the 200 Macro being $2200. And I don't care how good you think they could be; they're not better than the Sigma and Nikon equivalents that you can buy brand new for the same price.

Here is a site with sample images and in depth reviews of most of the more common a-mount lenses produced, both first and third party. I think he leaves off some of the shittier kit zooms.

You could also check out Dyxum, but their reviews are all over the place.

Then my guess is that your camera's light seals are going. The damage would be oddly specific for anything related to the chemistry.

That's an idea, but we don't have any places booked. Worst case Ontario, the airport takes them away and I buy them when we land in Bangkok.

>>3124756
There's no reason to shoot film period anon.

Slide film is fantastic though. If it won't break the bank, I'd recommend shooting some. Pick up some Velvia 100 or Provia 100F. Don't shoot the latter in overcast light without a warming filter. Don't bother shooting any slide in shit light, it'll look like shit.

Agfa CT Precisa is rebranded Provia 100F. Same film, buy which ever is cheaper.

Lomography X-Pro looks alright if processed normally (processed in E6 and not x-pro'd). I wouldn't buy it unless it was cheap.

I scan with my Sony A7 camera...hence the EXIF.

I used a tripod for the fireworks. I rested the camera on a railing for the train station photo. ISO is irrelevant when it comes to night photos if you're using a tripod. As long as you get the exposure right you're golden.

>>3124785
eBay is always a good avenue. 35mm E6 is pretty pricey...don't know where to point you to for cheap stuff. I guess you could pick up that Lomo stuff to try E6 out. Just make sure you tell your lab you want them processed in E6 chemicals. I've heard of labs seeing the X-Pro C41 markings and x-proing it.

>>3124789
No, you still need a scanner with a backlight. Use a digital camera if you have a good one or get a film scanner. Slide tends to be a bitch to scan with flatbeds...much easier to pull good detail out using a camera to scan.

Another Lomo X-Pro

What's shit about it? Doesn't seem too bad depending what lens you're using. Don't shoot through that tube though, you're just asking to get weird reflections / colors bouncing off your negs.

Airport security makes a difference between carrying batteries in hand luggage and hold (check in) luggage. Batteries in hold luggage are usually forbidden, as fire in the cargo hold is much more dangerous. IIRC, most small batteries are perfectly fine in hand luggage. Also, you might want to keep your films in hand luggage, as hold luggage is passed through a much more powerful röntgen/xray scanner, which can cause streaks, especially on higer ISO films. If you're lucky, you might even be able to have your filma not scanned at all. I once got an Italian security officer to hand search all my film for druga so they didn't need to be scanned. Poor guy.

This. Be aware that developing that film in C41 will give it a yellow tint, saturated colours and a crazy amount of grain and digital-like noise. Cool if that's what you want (I think it looks cool if you want a gritty or surreal look) but fucking awful otherwise. Pic related.

Enjoy your brand new lomography film.

Ok, now realistically, if it was slow film (200 and lower) it will most likely be perfectly fine. 400 will get streaks if the power used by the machine was too high which isn't common in hand luggage x-ray scanners. 800 and faster will most likely be fogged and/or get streaks. Do NOT store film in checked-in baggage, it will be beamed with the highest possible power several times outside of your reach and film will be most likely FUBAR.

Usually the staff is more cooperative if you make their work easier, not harder. Carry all your cams unloaded so they can go through the scanner and store the film in a separate small pouch you can quickly take out and request to have hand-inspected. Any camera you "cannot open" will be a huge red flag.
>>

>more fun to shoot

So would that new gear you have been itching to buy.

Easily reolaced with the sam eamount of Pro 400h (which would be a lot more flexible) and you'd have a ton left over for whatever new gear you have been eyeing.

No gear I'm lusting after. Bought and sold 25 cameras since Dec. 400H would be dope to have. When I bought all that 400X it was the same price as 400H. Too late to sell the 400X now though. Flight is in 36 hours. I really like the idea of having a fat binder full of slides from the trip too.

Because they're extremely useful on a macro camera like the RB/RZ. Nobody wants to fuck around with bellows factors if they don't have to.
I have the PD finder for RB, I'm not sure if the RZ is any different.
The only display in the viewfinder is 5 LEDs on the left side, they are + < o > - and light up in sequence as you move the knob on the side, and then either A or S illuminated to tell you whether you've selected spot or average metering.
To operate, you set a tab on the bottom of the dial to the max aperture of the lense you've got on, set your ISO on the little wheel, then press the button to start metering, look through the finder and turn the knob until your finder shows correct exposure.
Then you look at the dial, and the range of speeds and apertures that will give correct exposure are lined up together, so you pick one and set it on the lense.
So it's nothing like having an AE prism on your 35mm, it's more like getting a handheld meter to read TTL for you.

Dude, first up, stand dev is a total meme and you should give it up. Rodinal is already cheap as dirt at normal dilutions, there's no need to push it further and risk fucking your films just to save you standing at the sink for 20 minutes.
Secondly, if you did it all in the one batch, I think it's quite unlikely you'd have a strong gradient on one edge of BOTH films. If it was a case of your solution settling and concentrating activity at the bottom of the frame, you'd also expect to see a substantial density difference between the two rolls.
What is instead very likely is that your scanning rig is giving uneven illumination.
I wouldn't bother rescanning these though.
Simply duplicate your layer, set the top one to multiply, then use a gradient mask to flatten it out.

>Dynamic range/highlight retention/rolloff

Good digital cameras can match Portra easily

>muh resolution in any format above 645

Do you really need it though? And to get the most out of it you need some serious scanning equipment.

>archival stability

Definitely not. You'll forever be stuck with the one original. With digital you can back up the original file as many times as you want.

>artistic credibility

I'd say that's disappeared at this point.

>practically limitless selection of fun gear to use/try

Truth. Goes back to 'fun' being one of the few actual perks.

>satisfaction of meeting the higher technical challenge

Wat. I suppose if you get into camera movements, etc. But digital brings its own set of technical challenges.

>financially enforced shot discipline

Truth.

>options to shoot light outside of the visible spectrum

You can convert digital cameras to do the same.

>excuse not to show people your pictures

Truth.

>>3125498
As I mentioned above, do you really need that resolution though? If you shoot large format for muh resolution...I really hope you print big. If not, claiming resolution is a good reason is moot.

It depends on how/what you scan with. Very debatable.

Depends how often you shoot and/or your gear, you could find local deals for film cameras with multiple lens for far less than even a Canon SL1 body.

I'd say that zone metering an unmetered camera, accounting for bellows factor and reciprocity, as well as your stock's spectral sensitivity and age, that weighs 5kg that you had to carry to the waterfall, composing and focusing on a matt screen, as opposed to punching in on live view and firing off 12 shots before you have one with a histogram that doesn't clip, and development, by hand, controlling times and temps and technique, as well as then making a perfect scan, as well as then editing that, or even then making a perfect optical print, constitutes a technical challenge that would overwhelm most digital babbies.

This is more like it. An increase in development at the outside edges of dark objects, and conversely a darker halo on brighter objects. Pic related was with 1:50 rodinal and normal agitation, however.
>>3125725
>this is probably because of bromide drag
Absolutely not. It's called bromide drag, because you see streaks along the film. None here, just a slight change in density from one side to the other, which I'm pretty sure probaby isn't even on the negative.
>>3125723
>>just fix your film shots in potatochop
When the only thing wrong with the film shot is your scan illumination, then yeah, probably fix it in photoshop, you fucking moron.

Sell me it.

It's decent. Super pocketable. Lens is pretty good considering. Depend if you like zone focusing.

Just got the GA645 a couple weeks ago. Shot two rolls.

So far the AF is pretty reliable. Only missed 2 shots on 32 frames. The VF tells you the focal distance, so just get used to double checking it. Not sure if there's a different between the fixed and zoom versions in terms of AF ability. But if you're not looking at shooting fast subjects I think you'll be alright.

I've shot with most of the "premium" point and shoots and the shooting experience is really similar. If you like P&S cameras then you'll definitely enjoy the GA. It's small enough considering its medium format. I'll still bring a MJU with me if it's a decent day just for snapshits.

When scanning color negative film with a camera while using lightroom to edit is there a mostly universal system that is able to correct the cast you get after inverting the photo? I've tried every tutorial I can find on YouTube and have had with no luck with any of them.

So I'm going to a concert tomorrow night and I'll be taking photos obviously, will I be fine with a point & shoot (Ricoh RT-550) and Superia 400? Or should I go out and get some 800/1600 film?
pic related of what the venue will be like
>>
>>3126183
Going by experience, 400 and 800 film in a night club will result in the flash firing itself every single shot no matter how much apparent light there is. I don't think 1600 can make a difference either.

I'd go with a manual SLR + wide angle lens and try to handhold 1/15 or 1/30 shots on 1600 film, or 800 pushed to 1600.
>>

Yes, the angle that the light comes in is more interesting.

Only film over 800 ISO will get some fogging from going through x-ray machines, and I don't think it's to drastic. I've shot 1600ISO I bought online from the USA and shipped to Canadaland without any ill effects. So unless you're buying something fast you should be alright.

So you really don't, huh. Either putting the magnifying glass up to your eye to see the matte patch in focus or folding it down to look at the patch from a distance would help, for starters. As would googling "focusing lubitel camera", I imagine.

Jesus, for that price just buy a Plustek. You'll get a dedicated 14ish megapixel scanner for the cost of ten rolls of scanning from your lab.

That's not bad. For 9€ I get C41 developing + 1800x1200 scans. I've found cheaper places but their lab people don't give a flying fuck about trying to recover underexposed shots at all and just send back the film uncut and stuffed into a film canister so I'd rather pay those 9€ for a better quality service and sleeved film so it's not a nightmare to archive in my negatives folder.

Then it gets a little suspect. It's hard to know how many different customs it will pass through. It's probably worth a try, maybe test it and order a bit less just to test it.

Overall Ive never heard of anyone saying don't ship from country X to country Y because of x-ray issues, so you should be alright.

Was going through some boxes of my dads things, he recently died, and found this picture. I'm surprised it still looks so good after close to 50 years. Probably taken on some average camera by one of his friends. I just like the image. Older film cameras just have a certain look that it's hard to reproduce on modern digital, or even film cameras. Don't know if it's in the development processes, or just less sophisticated cameras and film...

I've dealt with all sorts of xrays and procedures. England is the worst. Period. Fuck them. Zero discussion. Xray or Trash, no matter the ISO.

Europe is hit or miss, although they have lower caps on their Xray machines, so the chance of a single pass damaging it is way lower.

The main issue I face is the cumulative effect of xray machines. I've had Portra 400 pass through US and Euro machines six times without streaking, highlight overexposure, or washouts. That being said, four passes through the hand baggage machine can damage it, less if they nuke it. I usually place it in a separate bin, and also fight for hand checks at any chance.

Take your cameras empty and explain the cumulative issue with Xray machines. "I work here, these machines won't damage your film" is the usual response. "This is my career. You understand protocol, and I understand that this does not cover multiple passes."

I'm in the process of making an emoji based laminated card that explains how multiple passes hurt the film, so I can use it worldwide. I'll post it tomorrow.

In the meantime, heres the first scan from my new V850 using SilverFast.

In Verdun, France there exist nine villages that "died for France" during World War I. The government decided after the war not to rebuild certain towns, due to the destruction wrought to the area, the high arsenic levels in the water table, the constant threat of unexploded ordnance (UXOs) and war remnants, and the amount of skeletal remains that were pushed up through the ground due to weather and ground movement. To this day, UXOs and other remnants of war are found, mainly during the yearly tilling of farmland, known locally as the "Iron Harvest". Fresh paint marks a bomb disposal site just outside the gate to a private road.

I've put about 20 or so rolls through my MJUii and in the last maybe 4 or 5 rolls I've noticed that it's not pulling focus like it should. I'm willing to accept that it maybe user error, but I know the camera inside out and it's produced nothing but sharp snapshits and now it's all soft.

Primarily, I've been using c200 and Gold 200/Colorplus, all with flash. It's gone from ultrasharp to rather soft.

I haven't changed the battery but it's still reporting as 'full' and it glides through the rolls like butter, the focus light is solid before I shoot and I remain steady, is this just an issue with an aging camera? Anyone else had any experience with this? People in forums seem to blame the user lol

I've never read of him doing stand, but I've read of some Japanese photographers who have a similar style developing in very high temps, around 40C.

Also he did a LOT of burning and dodging in the darkroom, so much of the haloing you're seeing is probably just that.

I've got a Pentax MV but I'm looking to uograde, if not the body then maybe the lens ( I've got this 28 mm thing which I don't think is the kit lens). While staying under $100, what is the best camera I could get that has:
-All metal
-Rangefinder
-Relatively few electronics

I'm hoping this doesn't spark some gearfag flame war.

from what i've heard the spots don't really affect the image
>>3126772
you really can't get a good rangefinder at that price
maybe try out a k1000 and use the lenses you still have

Even so, I'd prefer a clean one.

Although I'm not an expert on rangefinders I think that you should look towards the Yashica Minister and Lynx RFs, maybe even the Olympus Trip or the 35 RC if you can find them without stretching your budget. I've been looking for ages for a cheap rangefinder and the Minister III has been in my sights but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Do keep in mind that a lot of the fixed lens RFs come with coupled meters which don't give much control and more often than not the meters are dead or off. I think the reason I wanted this one is because it has an uncoupled meter.

Where do you order your film from in the UK?
Are any of the sub-£150 home film scanners any good / any recommendations?

I get mine from ebay, usually in big batches to get it cheaper. I haven't found any other online shop that has better prices yet. But a word of caution, if the price seems too good then it's probably a scam. You will get someone selling 5 rolls of Portra 400 for 15 pounds once in a while, scam accounts that get shut down within a few days. Always check seller stats and reviews.

Most people would tell you to go for a flatbed Epson v500/550/600. A lot of the people in here hate on flatbeds but a friend's v550 gives great results so I'd say go for one. I will be buying one myself in the next couple of months. Also keep in mind that if you hate the software you can use VueScan, it has quite a lot of neat little settings you can play with.

Heres another I toyed with at work this morning.

After Verdun, I went to Brittany to photograph both the Carnac stones and the remains of the Atlantic Wall.

From a remnant of the Vichy/Nazi Atlantic Wall; coastal defenses erected along much of the north Atlantic from France to Norway. This portion has been repurposed as an art installation, after the costs and associated difficulties, including the amount of explosives needed to reduce the bunkers to rubble, was deemed too high. This pillbox originally defended the mouth of the Laîta river, north of Lorient in Brittany, France.

heavy cameras are actually somewhat easier to keep steady (if they have good grips, and aren't /too/ heavy). something like an RB67 sucks to hand hold, if you're worried about ergonomics, don't get one of the cube-y SLRs.

I just bought a Yashica FX-7 I'm new to film (as in- 100% completely new)

What kind of film do I get?? How do I even open this thing to put the film in?

And is it any good, the camera? Just found it in a thrift store, paid what is roughly 32 USD. Seemed cheap but the grip leather or whatever to call it it is chipping off like crazy.
>>
>>3126972
Just buy a small piece of leather, take off the chipping leatherette (methylated spirits are your friend). Cut leather to shape with a small x-acto/stanley knife and glue it on with some simple yet strong glue like Bison Contact or whatever. If you're meticulous, it'll look better than new.

>>3126944
Just a run of the mill 50mm f/1.8 3rd party lens. Nothing special, but it might be decent
>>
>>3126972
>What kind of film do I get??
Cheap stuff like Kodak Colorplus 200 or Fujicolor C200 is good enough for your first roll.

>How do I even open this thing to put the film in?
If it's like every other manual SLR, the roll on the left has a tab going through it that you can lift so it turns into a crank to rewind film back into the canister. Pull it vertically and the door should open. In any case, look for a manual for that thing and/or search for a youtube video about loading film in mechanical SLRs: most of them work almost exactly the same.

>And is it any good, the camera?
Looks like every other mechanical/manual SLR. As long as it works you'll get a good mileage out of it.

I'm not much of a fixer but I suppose I'll give it a go. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Do you have any suggestions for a good "starter guide" on film or will I get the hang of it quick enough given that I own a DSLR? (just can't see my photos before they get produced obviously)

They have supplies and a list of developers around the country.

If you already know your way around a DSLR manual mode and understand the exposure triange you're good to go. I really don't like to spoonfeed people but this was just a google search away ->

Have fun!

Your best shot is just making a matrix from paper, trace the outline of the previously leatherette-covered area with pencil and cut the shape out of the paper, trace the paper shape onto the leather and then cut it
>>
>>3126998

It wasn't like I wanted to be "spoonfed" of course I was going to google it, I already had. It's just, sometimes people have a video or a website that they think is super good and perhaps that website isn't that known so I asked if you had some "hidden gems"

But thanks!

>>3126999

Do I also remove the soft fabric-like layer of the leather? so it's straight on the metal of the camera?
And do I glue it on? What kind of glue if so?

The fact that you didn't even know how to open it was telling me otherwise, anyway, here you have the next batch of advice before you load any film:

- Load it with batteries to test the light meter
- Download a photography light metering app on your smartphone and compare the readings it gives you with the ones the camera gives you for a reference ISO (for example 100 or 400 which are the most common) with the viewfinder LED.
- If that works and is more or less consistent, now turn it on with the lid open, check all the shutter speeds work and note down it any of them gets stuck to avoid it (if it happens, it's usually the slowest ones so it's not like you're going to be using them all the time). Remember to action the winding lever after each shot even if there's no film in it.

(of couse you can skip all that and go straight to the next point)

- Now it's time to test a roll so you can see if there are light leaks. Buy the cheapest colour one you can find, take some snapshits with a variety of aperture and shutter speeds and develop it.

If everything goes OK, now I personally always advice newbies to stick to one type of colour film and one type of b&w film. That way you'll learn how to get consistent results and when you're conforable with those then you can go try all the film you want. Check what's the cheapest stuff you can find locally and go with that, depending on what part of the globe you are your options might be different. Common cheapo recommendations for 400 speed (the most versatile one) would be:

- Colour: Fuji Superia 400, Lomography colour negative 400, Agfa Vista 400
- B&W: Fomapan 400, Ilford HP5 400 (both are cheaper in Europe), Kodak T-Max 400 (cheaper in the US AFAIK)

>>3127051
Yes, I'd remove it all with spirits and glue it on with any kind of normal contact glue. I wouldn't recommend second/instant glue in case you need to adjust

Np, always glad to see someone getting into film. I learned a lot from /fgt/, there are always people here who will help you, as long as you follow etiquette and don't ask for spoonfeeding. Of course there will always be those who will despise you for being new, but you can ignore them. Just remember, internet is your friend, there are dozens of written tutorials and Youtube has a lot too. Just plain typing your question into Google will give an answer almost always, especially at the beginner level. If not, you might consider the option that you're asking something whichbis impossible or incredibly obscure and steer away from that for the time being. I went from literally only knowing how to load a canister and press the shutter release, to having my own b/w and colour darkroom for large prints in two years with just internet tutorials and the odd question in the /fgt/. Just take it one step at a time, not in the least from a financial perspective. I.e. you don't want to spend $1000 on stuff, just to find out film isn't for you. Glhf

Quick question by the newest fag when it comes to film photography(and photography in general).

I have 200 ISO film and I'm wondering what the effect would be If I used a different ISO setting on the camera than what the film is.

Under exposure and over exposure. Iwouldn't recommend doing it for anything bar traditional black and white (pushing HP5 to 3200 etc)

I mostly do fashion/art photography, primarily using 35mm slide film. Thinking of adding a camera to my setup - should I jump into 6x7 MF? If so, why?

Mostly just rules of thumb and judgement. Look up the "ultimate exposure computer", which contains a table of lighting conditions and another table explaining the EV scale in terms of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.

Is the Holga with the built-in flash suitable for fill flash? As in, setting aperture to f/11 when a meter would indicate f/8 at 1/100, and the subject is like 1-2m (3-6 ft) away.
