I shoot on a Nikon FM3a and a Yashica T5 most of the time. A Ektar H35n in my bag if i'm just out and about. (trusty nikon EM on standby)
I would just like to say that I love Portra 800. I love high ISO film. I love being able to shoot almost anywhere at almost any time. I know its grainy at 35mm. I know its expensive. I know I can just use Ektar or Fuji 200, and a tripod. I still love its pastel colors.
Photography gets me out of the house, and helps me record things in a way thats fun. Film photography keeps me off my phone and the computer. and I get to chit chat with the nice people at the lab in town.
I've developed my own with a darkbag, and all that jazz. Its not hard, but its kindof a pain to do without a real darkroom. I'll get back into it when i get an old Coolscan.
right now, getting my film developed, scanned, and printed in a nice bundle is good enough. The scans could be a bit better, but i can always scan again later since i have the negatives.
I've also shot Super8 a bit, I still have a few cartridges waiting development, but haven't done it yet. Wanted to do 16mm with a Krasnagorsk 16, but decided i was starting to gearfag too much.
>>4482901I second anon on the H35. Half frame shooting saves a lot of cash. and if they're just snapshots of good times or pretty scenery, they'll come out fine. Pop in some ultramax 400 or something and wrap the lanyard loop on you. Its great. Its like a better disposable that you can reload. Note: The H35n is a slight upgrade, with things like a shutter cable release, a glass lens, and a built in lens filter + flash. Consider it if you care about things like that. I toss mine in my satchel daily, and use it for months before I actually use up all 72 frames. It takes a good amount of abuse, and is very cheap, easy to power (1 AAA battery for flash), and ok to look at.
Why do you guys use film?
