Film General Thread - Super cheap film from Ebay edition
Post your beautiful grainy snapshits here, or discuss why Fujifags and Kodakucks can't be friends.

Speaking of bulk film.
This is pretty much Superia X-tra right? Or is it a different film?
http://amzn.asia/8fPq4YV
>>3138622
I believe it is different. Some say it can only be bought from Japan unless you get it online and shipped.
>>3138624
Is it any good? I am in Japan, and I wouldn't mind buying a bunch of everyday use 400 film.
>>3138627
Try them I haven't tried them yet though.

>>3138629
Fuck it, I will buy a 10 pack.
Reviews say they are decent, but don't match Pro 400. No surprise there, neither does X-tra.
>>3138636
Get ready to be scammed hard. I once bought Tri-X for cheap and until now I'm waiting for it to arrive.

I ordered 20 rolls of fresh expired LuckyColor200 for €2 from Corea maybe 3 years ago.
Didn't think they'd come. But they did.
What would be the best cheap 100 and 400 B&W films? Is Lucky SHD 100 any good?

I think I need to calibrate my monitors.
Anyone have a recomendation on how to do it?
I have been eyeing the ColorMunki Smile.
>https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00C2GSFO8/
>>3139183
It might be the colorspace between the two devices. Some devices use one (AdobeRBG or srbg) and not the other, so when they attempt to open a file with a colorspace they don't support it'll convert it to the colorspace it supports which messes with the colors
>>3139185
That may be it, but colors differ between the two monitors themselves. Pretty sure they are quite far off.

Absolute film newfag here. Is it possible to shot two films at the same time?
When I got my Nikon F80 I put a ColorPlus 200 in it and took some snapshits. Now I want to try out the Superia X-tra 400 but it would be a shame to waste that roll on snapshits.
Do you have to stick to a roll once you load it? Can you somehow rewind the good one, load the cheap one and then advance it without fucking up the previous exposures?
>>3139378
You can but it's an absolute pain in the ass and its honestly worth finishing the roll then going on to a different film
I have this unopened color 600 film, expired April 1986. Is it even worth trying it out or should I just leave it in the box and sell it cib

probably should have just posted in this thread but I made my own like a retard.
Basically I'm going on a 5,000 mile road trip to a racing event called HotRod Drag Week, and I'm looking for advice as to what film shit I should bring. Got a whole list of shit in the thread.
But I also have a whole bunch of Kodak Ultramax 400, Fuji Superia X-TRA 400, and Fujicolor 200 plus some Holga (Foma) 400 B&W, and trying to figure out what I should run/bring.

You can do it but it's a bitch, so just buy another camera, load each with a roll and then use the appropriate film for the appropriate shop. if you don't want to carry around 2 i guess you could just deal with only getting some of the shots or getting the shots at less-than-satisfactory exposure
Just bought some impossible project BW 400 film for the first time since i recently came into possession of a SX-70
how shitty is this film and did i get ripped off
just adjusted the rangefinder on my 'new' moskva 5, feels good. having it working, that is, not the camera itself, which feels bad in almost every way.
>>3139467

I like kentmere in 35mm, they're fairly cheap in the US. arista edu ultra seems a little cheaper, am going to test out a roll this week.
>>3139505
5000 miles is as many as 8000 kilometers. That's a lot of shooting, unless you'll mostly be on the road.
I'd worry more about quantity of film than what particular film it is; and for quantity, C200 (same as Fujicolor 200), Superia 400, and Ultramax 400 all fill the ticket. I'd not bother with Foma films for a once-in-a-lifetime thing; get yourself two bricks of tri-x (and maybe a yellow filter) instead, that'll generally give like 90% of the B&W experience right there.
Bring spare batteries. Bring a spare body; travel means dust means malfunctions especially on a 100% mechanical number like the OM-1. Bring a waterproof case for exposed film, and another for fresh film.
Seriously, your handful of film won't cut it. Get more, shoot it liberally. Documentary / event photography eats up frames in proportion to your imagination since everything happens around you all the time.
Try to score an automatic thyristor flash unit for your OM-1; they're really common, system independent auto flash basically (if not TTL). The way these things work is, there's a meter on the flash unit itself, so all you do is set it on auto, set sync speed on body, set aperture on lens, and Bob's your uncle -- the flash gives an appropriate amount of flash depending on what comes back. This is much more convenient than dicking around with a manual flash.
And godspeed, takes balls to use film on a medium-term endeavour.

This will be over a span of 10 days, with 4 of them being 12+ hours driving non-stop. So I'm really only going to have 6 days of photos to take; but I still see the issue. I'm going to try to grab another 8-12 rolls before I go.
As for the flash, I simply don't have one and don't want to drop $80+ for one, although I really should.
Any suggestions as to what unit I should get? Links would be helpful.
>>3139657
An old school non-TTL auto flash won't run you over $20; might wanna bring two. Olympus T20, T32, and Quick Auto are ones that I know work beautifully with OM-series cameras. All of them eat Eneloops gracefully, but the T32 will spit a metal thingamabob out when you remove the batteries -- it's a tight fit. Still, any flash beats no flash, if your local camera shop only has a $15 vivitar manual flash at GN22 (feet), then that's what you'll use. Manual flash computations are easy though. Virtually any old-school camera manufacturer also had their series of flash, but very few did TTL flash metering, so most of 'em will either be manual or non-TTL auto.

>>3139691
my copy is probably worse than average: focus is stiff at a few points, rangefinder is alternately loose and tight, the front door doesn't open/close smoothly, film advance is really heavy, shutter ring is stiff, front standard is a little loose, etc. also various usability complaints, like the tiny and separate viewfinder and rangefinder, but that's just 1950s design for you.
>>3139649
The rolls were 2 instead of 3 for the 36.
Dev costs are cheaper here for 24 too.

I just found an old 110 camera. It probably wont take amazing shots but it might be fun and I want to try it. I saw lomography is selling some cheap shit film for it but if I buy it, where can I get it developed? I usually bring my film to the walmart equivalent but wuold the be set up to process it?
>>3140189
I recently picked up this one for €1. Sadly, Lomography is the only seller of fresh 110 film so I have to swallow my pride and put money in their pocked if I'm ever to use it.
As for developing, I think I'll just do it myself, because I highly doubt that many labs still do 110 as it has been fully phased out for years (except for the Lomo reboot). The advantage of home developing is that you can possibly reuse the cassette to put in new film, slit from a larger format like 135 or 120

>>3140210
The problem is, the spools you use to wind the film is adjustable in width, but 35mm is often the smallest it can handle. So I'll have to think of some way to get it evenly developed in the developing tank
A quick google search did result in this: https://www.lomography.com/magazine/241548-how-to-make-a-fully-functional-110-film-developing-reel Maybe you can use this, I'll at least try it myself but maybe there are better ways.

XA2 is dope, but the scale focus makes it useless for shooting portraits / anything closer than 2-3 meters. For street / landscapes it's great, for portraits I'd pass.

Any trips or tricks for color correcting film after using this method? For the most part it works for outdoor shots without much to do contrast/highlights/shadows wise but going indoors the incandescent lighting is a greenish color that is harder to correct from what this video shows. Also the white balance is hard to correct to a true white which in turn leads to a flat photo.

>>3140430
Your scanner's focus is off, or you have ICE on, or your film wasn't flat.
Grain should be sharp and defined. Your's is blotchy and blurry...which means the film itself isn't in focus during scanning.
>>3140440
Hmm, I'll try fucking around with the holders. Maybe add a business card under it and try without. I have a piece of glass, but it's not anti-newton.
>>3140444
I also got a Minolta Dual Scan III. It worked but the seller wanted to test it again and it suddenly stopped turning on. I hope it's the cable, but I think it's fried. Got it for free.
But now I found a Dual Scan IV, hope it works. Seems to stutter, but it happens a lot apparently and it some times stops stuttering. Fingers crossed, as those are dedicated scanners. The 9950f is good for MF/LF.
So I recently got a Kiev 6C, anyone on /fgt/ invested in the P6 mount and care to recommend what lenses to be on the lookout for? I'm looking for a decent wide mostly, but maybe a normal too if the Jena Zeiss stuff is much better than the Vega 90mm I got with the camera.
I've been looking into MF lately, and have decided to get a 645 SLR.
The cameras I've been looking at the most are the Mamiya 645 Super and the Bronica ETRS. Anyone here have one of these? Are there any other cameras I should look at?
>>3140538
I have the ETRSi and I'm in love with it. Gonna be buying the other two lenses in the selection plus a second back to hot-swap between color and b&w film.
That said I think it might be worth looking into the SQ-Ai as a very similar (in functions) 6x6 MF camera. Moreover the Mamiya RB/RZ 67 could be worth a look due to their rotating backs. This raises their price but gives you the option of shooting in portrait orientation without having to juggle the camera sideways. I thing the downsides of those two Mamiya cameras for me were that they ue bellows for focusing and that they are quite large and heavy.
>>3140510
pentacon six connosieur here.
out of the zeiss jena lenses, the 180mm is pretty decent and gives that oleg oprisco dreamy bokeh. the 80mm is kinda meh, bokeh is so-so, bland lens, youll get more character out of your Vega. 120mm jena is good too. if you want wides, get the MIR MIR 45mm 3,5, that lens is amazing, distortion is minimal for what it is. or maybe you could get the flektogon, which is coated, and has better sharpness, but i personally prefer the 45mm.
pic related is the 120mm iirc.

I'm quite skeptical to the 6x6 format as it feels like primarily a portrait format, and 6x7 is way too square without being square, if you get what I mean.
>>3140567
I get you, though the primary argument is the size of the negative that you produce with every shot. Meaning that 645 is the most conservative one with 15 shots per roll. You could always crop larger negatives but so far 645 feels just right to me.
I was also trying to choose between the Mamiya 645 Super and the Bronica ETRSi. I think the reason I ultimately went for the Bronica was because I read a lot of reviews about Mamiya backs failing and also the fact that the ETRSi is a bit more recent. Either way my advice would be to be patient for that one great deal. I think I bought my Bronica for £250 with one back, the 50mm equiv. lens, waist level finder and like 6 rolls of film.
>>3140567
>6x7 is way too square without being square
thats what it makes it a GODLY format.
>>3140585
Indeed, it's GOAT but it's a shame that most cameras that use it are fairly pricy.
>>3140587
the pentax 67 is a god tier system that hilariously affordable. dont be super poor and youll get one in two months of savings.
>>3140589
>you're poor
Nope, I just can't justify dropping another 600 eurobucks minimum after I just bought an ETRSi for a third of that price a couple of months ago. Priorities my friend.
>>3140566
pretty
>>3140574
Thanks, I think I'll keep looking at both and seeing what the best deal I can find is. I'll read some reviews too.
By the way, are there any good lens adapter brands? I did a quick check and there seems to be converters from both Mamiya and Bronica to Nikon F, but I have no idea what brands to stay away from, if there are any.
I got my parents old olympus xa2 and its working nicely expect for the aperture lever that is stuck in the "middle" position so it only focuses on to like 2 meters. Would really like to get it working so you guys have any idea what could be done?
Posting a few snaps I liked. Olympus 35RC with Ektar 100. C&C if you want.

They probably are used. You could try to double-expose them, if you want to get experimental, but it probably wouldn't be worth the effort of getting the film out without exposing it. Get it developed, and worst/best case scenario you'll get some stranger's nudes.

Alright /fgt/s, I can buy an entire Mamiya RZ67 set for €950. It includes 2 bodies, Sekor 50mm, 90mm and 250mm, 1 prism viewfinder, 3x top viewfinder, 7 film cassettes and some miscellaneous stuff like a large camera system bag, sun hoods and lens caps.
I was thinking to sell one body with one lens, a top viewfinder and 2 or 3 cassettes, which should catch some 500-600 dollars on eBay. I also have 2 Bronica ETRS bodies with some accessories, so I should be able to sell off one complete Bronica and retain one complete Bronica for myself, hopefully earning another ca 500 dollars, making the entire affair cost neutral.
Do you think this is feasible? Am I making a grave mistake or did I luck out? Hoping for some good advice
If I get a high quality scan of a frame is it ok to have a print made from the digital file or is it always better to have a print made from the negative?
>>3140753
>500-600 dollars on eBay.
more like 250-300 tops.
>>3140757
I'm seeing loose bodies go for around 350. I'm not that experienced with eBay, is there something I'm missing? Sorry for asking to spoonfeed but €950 is quite a lot of money for me
>>3140753
950 euro does seem like a lot for that, however buying full outfits is definitely the way to go. I paid $850 australian for my rb kit, but it has a lot more lenses, and better ones.
I'd say if you can inspect the kit first, and it's literally pristine, AND you really want to shoot with an RZ a lot, then whatever, it's just money.
However, don't sell the prism finder, especially if it's a light-meter model. TTL metering is absolutely invaluable with a bellows-focusing, half-stop max aperture abortion like the RB/RZ series. Also being able to see the viewfinder in sunlight, or if you want to shoot at eye-level is pretty useful.
If selling off the other body, I'd recommend picking up a 127mm and 140mm, shooting with both, and selling the body with whichever one you like less.
Regarding backs; motorised backs a best, keep them. 220 backs are good, but you will only ever need one in 2017, as the odds of you having 220 stock of more than one type at a time are pretty slim. 645, 6x6 and 6x8 backs are collectible, keep them. If you can fling a basic 120 and 220 back and still have plenty for yourself, you're golden.
Also, shoot with the 250 and determine if you really need it, and maybe add that to the sell-off kit. It's a bit of a boat anchor, and the choice between taking it or another 2L of water on your next hike becomes a lot easier if you've just sold the fucking thing.

Thanks, that's advice I can work with. As to the price, it was the result of some bidding, I definitely went higher than I wanted at first (not on eBay, on my local Craigslist equivalent, so no obligation to buy, the other bidder will be happy to take it if I choose not to), but looking around on eBay certainly looks a lot more expensive, as there are mostly offers of a single body+lens, with lenses going for €300+ a piece (depending on which lens ofc), hence me thinking to have spotted a bargain. Also, I could sell off all my Bronica shit as the Mamiya includes a 645 back, making keeping any ETRS a bit silly (but I like it since it's the camera from the original intro of The Bold, which I watched a lot as a kid, but I digress). I think I'm just going to do it. I did fail to mention that one of the Bronica bodies I have is a complete boxed-with-all-caps and original everything, so that might add to the value. The rest of the accessories I can maybe sell off on eBay by themselves, as this seems to be the most worthwhile method. Not trying to haggle peole out of a lot of money here, just trying not to make my hobby too expensive iykwim
>>3140811
MF stuff like Bronica and 500cm have been rising in price lately.
Really wanna grab one before it gors up too much, but I can't justify spending $1k on something I'd use a handful of times a year.
>>3140811
>t. never seen a memeya in the real
Dude, the mamiya is not an etrs replacement. With a lense and prism attached it might weigh double? maybe just a bit less. And it's substantially larger. As shown in my photo above it's more than a foot long.
Taking an RB out to shoot 645 would be like taking a .50 cal out to shoot rabbits. Your arms get real tired and what could have been dinner with a .22 is now a cloud of blood and fur.
Just got my first film camera
after I develop my films, what is the optimal method of getting them into digital format? Recommend home scanners?
>>3140819
It is a lot larger, so actually I really do want to keep the ETRS. With the speedgrip and AE prism it handles like a rather bulky 35mm, except of course with larger negatives, so I use it without a tripod quite often. I'm still a bit on the fence as you might have noticed, but of course I don't want to hog the thread with rambling and doubting. I think I can manage to hold on to both one RZ67 and one ETRS without breaking the bank, and just sell off what I don't need piecemeal to cover the costs. Would you reckon I could ask €450 for a complete RZ67 and €350 for a complete ETRS?
>>3140820
if you get them developed at an actual photo lab, just ask for development & scanning
>>3140538
Honestly don't get a 645 slr.
You'll just develop a taste for larger negatives and end up buying a blad or a 6x7 camera anyway.
Take it from me, I bought an etrs and now a mamiya 7.
>>3140845
memiya 7 is the endgame of all endgames, isnt it?
>>3140845
>You'll just develop a taste for larger negatives and end up buying a blad or a 6x7 camera anyway.
I don't understand these comments. Ive gone down to 645 from bigger formats and fucking love it. All those frames per roll, the nice aspect ratio, and still a neg that can easily print 20x24.
>>3140890
>the nice aspect ratio
This. 3:2 a shit.
>>3140890
you found your shit. most dont. most just keep guessing if its greener in the other side, feeling that they arent experiencing that medium format feel(tm) yet. and they are right.
>>3140845
Are you me? Literally contemplating the same. 645 is 'just' twice as large as 35mm. 6x7 is where it's at. I'll have to upgrade my darkroom again but whatever, can't wait to shoot some glorious 6x7.
>>3140849
Well, you could always go large format if you really hate money. Even then there's 4x5 inch and 8x10 inch with a world of difference. And then there's ultra large format but there's like 100 people in the world who do that, it's insanely expensive. Mind you, the whole infrastructure has to be upgraded when you go a size up, with exponentially growing rarity end expense.
But indeed, when talking MF, the RZ67 is one of the best, that much is true. Hasselblad and the Pentax 67 are also often mentioned. The nice thing about the Pentax is that it's basically a 35mm camera in shape, except you can club an elephant to death with it in a pinch

It's 2.7x as large
All this talk of bigger negs...do you fgts even print? Everytime I make a printing thread it 404s in no time. Where you homos at then?
>>3140917
Behind my Durst, probably. Bigger negatives are essential to printing if you use larger formats of paper, especially if you're cropping. Cropping 35mm looks like a cart of gravel even at somewhat smaller prints.
>>3140917
Btw, do you also do RA4? I tried and somewhat succeeded, but it's very hard to get the temperature right. Working in complete darkness is also not as fun as I thought
>>3140918
>>3140919
I hear you on cropping 35mm. I'm one of those fgts thst tries to keep cropping to a minimum though. Rarely am I ever cropping out massive chunks (I never make 8x10s by cropping 35mm for example).
Never done RA4. I have a great lab that does RA4 prints for a price that's hard to beat. Would love to give it a try though.
>>3140917
I was gonna get a 500cm for delicious 6x6.
But then I realized I never print larger than 4x6 (and maybe an a4 once a year) so it would just be a waste of money.
Shit, I am more likely to digitize my stuff and print that than get actual prints made.
>>3140926
Here printing is either 13x18cm max at the standard lab, or it's prohibitively expensive at a professional lab. Now I'm doing 30x40cm and it's absolutely stunning (well I might be a bit biased but wth). Pic related is my first attempt, printed from a 645 negative with a 75mm Phago lens on 30x40cm Kodak Endura matte.
I enjoy B/W a lot more though. So much more options in the darkroom. RA4 is pretty right or wrong, whereas B/W can yield many different prints from the same negative.

I mean...there is the argument that you'll always have the quality in the negs should you choose to print big. It's a good argument.

>>3140929
Oh man, I can get 30x45cm RA4 prints done for $15/ea.
>>3140932
15 dollars?! I make them for 10x cheaper. 50 sheets of 30x40 is €80, plus some chemicals and one or two test strips of course. The rest is all 'buy once, use forever'. I guess if you don't make a lot of large colour prints, it's cheaper, but you can't beat diy in the long run. Plus it's fun once you get the hang of it.
>>3140934
Oh yeah, I know doing it myself would be cheaper. But like you said, RA4 is pretty much a right or wrong thing. Not much personal touch like bw can have. How long does it take you to dial in an RA4 print? I figure that $15 is saving me multiple hours of my time. Time is money after all, right?
Spending hours in a darkroom dodging/burning some bw prints is my jam though.
>>3140937
It's actually a lot quicker than B/W. 45s dev, 45s blix, done. So, you do a test strip to determine colour cast and exposure, set the colour balance, do another test strip to be sure (changing colour levels also has influence on the exposure time). I have only ever needed 2 test strips to get it right, but I haven't done it a lot so I might have been a bit lucky. But, if you do it like this, you can have a full print in a quarter of an hour. I can spend hours on a single b/w print, and that is excluding rinsing, hypoclearing, rinsing, toning and rinsing again. Fuck I hate rinsing

im planning to load my dads old nikon fg with some film and have some fun. i wont develope myself (at first). is there some sort of canonical list of films to try out, a database to compare appearance or something similar?
theres a zenit half frame slr right now on ebay, about to go in 2 hours. was planning to buy it, but the fact that its just some other proper slr model but with a narrower window makes me think the mirror slap will fuck all 1/30 shots and below. also no lenses, so will have to use some 50 1.4, which will be just a super luminous 100mm tele. wew.
>>3141198
It's gonna be around 75mm. You can use a 35mm or so to get a 50mm equivalent. But really owning a (normal) Zenit I'd rather get something else unless it's very cheap.
>>3140845
>>3140895
Again with the film size meme. I'm shooting a Pen FV a lot of the time and also Pentax 6x7 and some 6x6 stuff. The difference in the size of the neg is ridiculous but I don't mind. A lot of the time you don't actually need all the resolution. 645 is cool for a lot of stuff and I personally can't wait to pick up a GA645. I've shot a bunch of 645 on an old folder and it's really comfy to frame and print, might be that 4:3 ratio.
>>3141228
Darkroom printing is like 1/2 of the photography hobby for me. I like to make larger prints and that is barely possible with half frame negatives. 35mm is ok tier but also not spectacular. I'm not shitting on people who like other things but I need MF to get the results that I like
>>3141250
It fades, but pops up every now and then when you capture something good. You'll be grateful tat you captured it on something larger than 35mm.

I fucked up big time. Because of the stress I had keeping everything at the right temperature, I accidentally poured in the developer whilst the water (for warming the tank) was still in, severely diluting the developer, like the retard I am. Somehow, the negatives came out looking alright, at least, by just looking at them. I'm right snoggered now, because apparently C41 developer isn't really sold separately. My first thought was to leave the overdiluted developer to somewhat vapourise the water by pouring it in a large developing tray and leaving it for a while. Thoughts?

Surprise surprise, there's a lot of oomph in C-41 developer. I mean, it's reusable to something like 10 rolls per litre, or 20 if you believe the Interwebs. Makes sense it'd also work while diluted to a sportsmanlike degree.
Anyway, inspect the solid black leader part of the negative once it dries. You should be able to see like a covered 20W fluoro tube through it easy, and everything else basically not at all; if it's thinner than that, it'll be underdeveloped. Colours might also be messed up, but w/e. FWIW, at least Maco sells rollei colour dev separately, but since it's the most consumable part of the kit anyway, you might as well buy another litre's worth. (or not, because colour dev is a fucking hassle.)

>>3141866
I can look through it, but not really that much, so my guess is that it's only slightly underdeveloped. Colours look fine from the scans, maybe a little bit washed out but not too much. I'll keep looking for loose developer, I do want to do it again but I want to know for sure it will turn out well before I put any premium MF film in it (this was just a Superia roll of which I knew the photos on it weren't breathtaking so I took the chance). I do want to keep doing C41 because I'm a major autist and my lab keeps cutting my negatives into strips of 4 instead of 6, ruining my archive system
>>3141930
Well, yes, that was sort of the purpose.
>>3141928
scene went through all the gamut. it was strong orange, then heavy purple, then super blue, and before all that it was heavy pink. that happened right after it was heavy overcast so there was like a color explosion, it was brief though. location is salar de atacama, chile.
>>3141783
Leaving your developer out is the worst possible choice; it will oxidise and become useless.
Just keep it in a light and airproof container and continue to use the dilute solution, with slightly longer times.
It's designed to work in water, obviously. Also, C41 dev is pretty malleable, to be honest. It's pretty hard to overdevelop to an unusable negative, in fact it's more likely that it will improve your negs if you've been shooting consumer films at box speed. Don't sperg out too much about temps either; it really only becomes mission critical for slides.

>>3142144
I'd say if you plan to shoot more than 10 rolls in the next year, you'd be better off buying something like a dedicated 35mm scanner or v550/v600 if you shoot 35mm and 120.
If you own a good digital camera, the best option would be to get a macro lens and scan using a backlight and camera. Lots of information out there by quickly googling "DSLR film scanning". Bear in mind some of the guides make it an incredibly overcomplicated and painful process. All you need is a backlight (smartphone works), some thin opaque white material (any thin textureless plastic works), a tripod, macro lens, and camera.

Avoid their color negative in 120 format though, it's chink shit and shorter than the standard. B/W in 120 is fine but too expensive (rebranded fomapan). Their 35mm film is fine as well, mostly rebranded Kodak. Not the best but serviceable if there's nothing else around, and they have pretty much the only cheap 800 speed film.

>don't suck a bag of dicks at colour editing
That is the part that has me stumped.
Just color corrected my monitors though and that was a huge help. They were set to extremely cool colors and it was throwing me way off.
And instead of a remote release, I just used the cameras timer set to 2 seconds. Was taking them through PC tethering, but that was just a pain in the ass to get set up.
Just got my hands on my first film camera, pic related. It feels nice mechanically and the lens seems clean enough after getting the dust off the front. The only thing that feels a bit quirky is the light meter, which seems to slowly jerk towards where it's supposed to go if you pump the shutter button. Does anyone have experience with this model?
It was kind of funny, when I walked into a camera shop to get film and a fresh battery for it, there was this ancient fat man who couldn't stop talking about dynamic range and how film will always be better because there are "only 365 hues of color in digital". He then insisted I get 200 iso film instead of 400 for my first roll because "you young'uns always think higher is better".
>>3142892
If the light meter isn't properly responding to light (i.e shine your phone flashing at the meter and watch for it to jump up) then it might not be working. These cameras are aperture priority, meaning that you set the aperture and it sets the shutter speed - if the camera can't measure light properly then it cannot set the shutter speed correctly.
The camera shop bloke sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing
>>3142892
The way a lot of these old auto cameras work is that the meter swings a little ratcheted arm, and pushing the shutter all the way down catches it and uses its physical location to set the appropriate exposure, so it's not like a more modern camera where a half press turns on a computerised meter and the camera's brain times the shutter from there. So the jerkiness is probably normal. Put the roll through it and see how it turns out.
>>3140205
New to film, why are they bad? I was thinking of picking up some 110 for these cool hanimex's a friend gave me for my birthday.
>>3142902
the film is really small so the quality is atrocious + difficult to find fresh film + difficult to find a lab that develops 110 + these cameras had shit lenses and are all automatic, meaning you can guarantee that they'll fuck up the exposure
>>3142895
I think it's shutter priority, where you set the shutter speed and the light meter decides what the aperture will be. The A is on the aperture ring, anyway. The light meter does jump up when I shine a flashlight into it, but not all the way, and it doesn't go down without pumping the button.
>>3142897
That's good to know, thanks. I can't wait to get my shitty out of focus and terribly exposed snapshits back.
>>3142907
Sounds like the meter might be a bit wonky - all selenium cell lightmeters tend to go bad eventually. No harm in putting a roll through it

This might be complicated but... any recommendation for a cheapo automatic compact that can read DX codes up to 1600 or even higher?
>>3143021
Ok, I guess I should give a little bit more information and be more specific. Currently I have an olympus am-100 that was gifted to me years ago and I really love it, but sometimes I find myself too limited with it because
>The DX code reader cannot be overriden
>Only goes up to 1000 ISO
>Flash is 100% automatic, cannot be manually disabled, and fires itself at moments where I feel I could have handheld 1/30 perfectly fine.
I'm looking for something small and inexpensive that I can use at those moments where the am-100 might not be enough but I don't want to bring the bag with the SLR, extra lens and hotshoe flash. Any idea or recommendation? Btw, I don't mind autofocus or zone focus.
>>3142872
That sounds great, I'm currently looking for a macro lens with a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio for this. Got any suggestions? I don't mind buying vintage, it's going on my sony a6000.
for all the cucks wanting to get that nguan tonality, heres this comparative chart for 400H. from +5ev and upwards white turns into pink and all tonality gets super pastely. granted, he "uses portra", but still, heres actual proof (he could be bluffing too about portra, hes a trickster dont forget).
>>3142872

Anyone here know how far the Nikon FM2 and Nikon FM are compatible in terms of spare parts?
I have a Nikon FM2 with a missing film pressure plate and there's this cheap Nikon FM for parts available locally. Would the door from that one fit in my FM2?
>>3143217
Quick google search suggests they ARE compatible. I.e., people selling the part on eBay are listing it as a spare part that fits the FM and FM2 (and a few others as well).
>>3143021
I'd say the Olympus XA3, the one caveat being it uses zone focussing. No auto focus.
>>3143217
FM2 is my go to film slr, hope you get it working.
>>3143226
Thanks, I considered it but it's too damn expensive for what I want and maybe a little bit clunky with the flash add-on. I finally snatched a mju-1 prime film tested and fitted with fresh batteries for 32 eurobux
>>3143219
Right. So that's definitely an option then.
>>3143235
Yeah, it's really nice. It's such a shame that I tripped and dropped mine on some rocks. Seemed fine but now 3 films in I noticed that pictures were out of focus. I'm sure that pressure plate still lies somewhere between the rocks on the shoreline.
Still, the backdoor should be easy to replace and it almost seems like a miracle there's nothing else broken.
>>3143150
Should be excellent, the 2.8 is quite well corrected, with floating elements and whatnot.
If it's not going to be too much price difference though, the 100mm will make your life a lot easier re: backlighting and also be an excellent portrait lense.
>>3142874
A remote release is like 99 cents on ebay, just get one.
>>3143129
I use the canon FD 50/3.5, no complaints, perfect IQ. I had to make a rectangular lense hood to mitigate flare from my backlight though.

Now that the Contax T2 has been hyped to hell and is getting ridiculously expensive, what's the sort of premium compact to look out for that isn't so damn expensive? Something that can be banged up without it falling apart instantly. Still kind of hoping I'd find a T2 for the normal ~250 price it was a few years back, it ticks all boxes for me.

Not that anon but sometimes you don't want to lug your SLR around all day every fucking day. If I'm going for a drink at night, skating or to the swimming pool you can be sure I'm not going to bring a manual focus behemoth and would rather take something light and easily replaceable in case of disaster that I can slip in a pocket or a small bag.
There are point and shoot compacts from the early 2000's on eBay that obviously cannot be tagged as "antique" or "vintage" (some fuckers still try to see if they can trick some retard though) for a couple bucks + shipping that read DX codes from 100 to 400 and are perfect to do that job.

I hope it's good. I bought some while visiting germany, it costs just 6 euro for a roll there.
>>3143698
Aw man I jelly. Sunny 16 works quite well, although I recommend at least getting a simple selenium lightmeter for not so sunny days.
>>3143698
Learn the EV scale (google "ultimate exposure computer", it's got tables) so you can work it out in your head. Memorize the various lighting conditions. Bracket. Bracket some more. Use a tripod. Bracket just a little further to be sure. Break down and get a lightmeter app for your android smærtfœn.
The Jupiter 8 isn't a bad lens, but for that body you'll eventually want a non-Soviet non-Sonnar standard lens. Start saving up.
Early autumn in Europe is generally EV9 when it's overcast and pissing rain during the daylight hours. Look at the clouds: can you see the sun? If so, actually EV12. And so forth.
>>3143712
It depends on what speed you're using.
For example at 400 ASA when sunny it will be 17 EV and lightly cloudy 15 EV
At 100 ASA you'll have to subtract 2 EV so sunny = 15 EV and cloudy 13 EV.
EV scale is why I love C Hasselblad lenses.
>>3143698
If I don't have a meter, I take a picture with my phone and then go to the information, and it gives the shutter, aperature, and iso. You can then look at the photo and judge if the settings are okay and use exposure triangle.
Slow, but better than nothing?
>>3143720
By convention, these days we discuss the EV scale at ISO 100. Everyone knows how to adjust for film speed and filter factor.
The point is valid however; for 'blad and some TLRs (Flexarets come to mind), there'll be a plain EV scale up there for what the camera's gonna do. That'll need a constant adjustment for the factors mentioned.
But yeah, using a light meter to get a a confirmation that you're not completely fucking up, or for metering for e.g. street photography, that's actually a good idea. Guesstimations only go so far.

It's Provia that didn't pass Fuji QA unless they've changed it again. I've shot a few rolls, it's nice (I mean, it's rebranded Provia). Very blue, kind of a magenta tint occasionally, so not the greatest on bright days.

I have a Canon P. You'll love it, they're great to use. Pretty much the only 35mm camera I use anymore
Anyway just get a lightmeter app on your phone, much easier than guessing. Lux for iPhone does the job very well, I've even used it for slide film and had good results.

you know there are decent meter apps? free ones?

Here is another one.
Honestly it is noisier than I expected for iso 100. It is okay, but nothing special. Glad it is dirt cheap at least.
If the iso 400 is similar I will be happy.
I have actually never shot iso 100 negative film before (always used positives) but this seems pretty similar to Superia. I assume that is what it is.

what are you scanning with, out of interest?
>>3143823
Plustek 8200.
First one is untouched except for a drop in exposure. Second one I messed with some stuff.
>>3143827
oh neat, I literally sold my plustek a day ago cause I started shooting medium format. They're pretty sweet for the money
this heatwave is so insane, im developing color film at room temperature

+6 stops over and it still looks fine
How can digicucks even compete

Yea I like it. Nice and easy to use.
Been considering MF myself, but unsure how I would scan things.
>>3143907
DoF is too shallow

Nice shot mate. Sometimes I wish I had a pet to have at least something to shoot, been in a slump for the past few months despite getting new gear. But I know I wouldn't have the energy to take care of it, being a wagecuck is leaving me with nothing but money and increasing misanthropy.
I want to get into developing, but I don't have very much space. Those lab-box things on kickstarter look pretty good, but they're pretty expensive
Do you guys think they're worth it?
>>3143949
why do you say that? I'm interested to hear - the whole head is in focus, would you have gone for getting the entire dog in focus?
>>3143965
Having a dog is the best, they make you feel good. Only friend that's happy to see you no matter what
>>3143967
Just grab a Paterson tank and you're good to go. The lab-box is only good if you're too scared of loading film in the dark, otherwise it's objectively worse in most other ways than a normal paterson tank
>>3143969
Looking at some Paterson tank starter kits right now, they're way cheaper, which I like a lot. I've seen some stores carrying darkroom lamps, do they work? I remember reading something somewhere about modern b/w film being too sensitive to red light for them to be safe.
Also, how do you get the film out of the canister? Do you need a special opener or does a bottle opener work just as well?
>>3143974
Safe lights are only for printing, they will for your film. You have to do the loading in complete darkness but it's far easier than you probably think. Bottle opener works fine. Just take care to avoid the film touching any surfaces like the floor, I have the opened tank handy and drop the film there, then pick up the leader and start spooling it on the spiral.
>>3143974
B&W is sensitive to all visible spectrums of light so you'll need to do it in the dark (either in a dark bag, or a dark room (I use my bathroom at night)). It obviously has to be 100% pitch black. Stand in the room you're thinking of using for 10 minutes and if you begin to be able to see things it's probably not dark enough.
You can use a can opener or bottle opener to open it. After that you'll need to trim off the leader and add a rounded edge to the film, cut it off the little plastic spool in the cannister and then spool it onto the developing reel. There's heaps of videos on youtube on how to do this
I'd recommend once you get the tank to sacrifice a roll of film to practise spooling onto the reel. You should be able to easily do it with your eyes closed before you attempt to do it for real.
So, I have a Canoscan 9950f and Minolta Dual Scan IV now. The DS is a dedicated 35mm scanner and it's definitely sharper. Will use the Canoscan for MF or larger.
Tried scanning slides with the DS and Vuescan. But they are very red. I save them as RAW files. Anyone have some tips for color correcting them? I tried curves and color balance but I'm still off...
Also, I selected the highest DPI possible but at the bottom of the window it says the scan is only ~800 DPI, it's something like 791, can't recall. The file is around 4500 pixels wide. Seems right?
This is a sample, don't mind the lame pic. It's old, it's actually from my first roll of film ever.

This is the output of the scanner btw, the RAW file.
Anyone ever use one of these on a film body?
I want a compact m-mount 28mm. Mine has major spotting and haze, and I am trying to decide if it is worth getting my junk 28mm fixed, or if I should just buy a new lens.

Holy shit, Denny itself. My girlfriend's senpai comes from there

Just the basics: a black and white like Delta 400 should be easy to learn on as a daylight film, a colour like Superia or Portra once you've got more of a feel, and then try some slide film once you know you can meter properly, because otherwise slide film will fuck you in the ass with your own stupidity

I want to get into medium format without spending a lot of money. Any recomendations?
I like 6x7 the most, but 6x6 is ok as well, I guess.
>>3144254
what sort of camera do you want? rangefinder, modular slr, tlr, ???
>>3144254
If you want to give it a try for cheap, get a folder camera like pic related. Just watch out for ones with a sticky shutter and leaking bellows, but there are plenty around in great condition due to having been made in large numbers. They often have only a few shutter speeds available, so get ISO 400 film, set the shutter to 1/250 and use the aperture to control the exposure. Stopped down to f/8 they produce quite sharp photos, although expect vignetting. Cheap way to check out if MF is to your taste and far better photos than with a toy camera.

A TLR would suit. A Yashica-Mat or Minolta Autocord can be had cheap
