>>4202079>What filmstock would you resurrect if you were given the ability?You just posted it, Astia's "subdued, pastel palette" was always giving me a raging art boner for taking pics of autumn foliage, but I never got to shoot any because I was too poor back then and my camera was too shit (no meter, I was basically sunny-16-ing everything) to handle slides.
>Hardmode, no kodachromeI got 4 rolls of Kodachrome for free in some turn of events I don't recall now. I shot 2 of them, both turned out 99% underexposed shite (pic related) because of the above, but at least I can say I shot some Kodachrome in my life eh? I had them processed in the last month before Dwayne's shut down, too, maybe they sat next to some of McCurry's in the tank kek
The other two are still sitting in my fridge, waiting for better times.
>what should my first film camera be?Something with a functioning TTL meter, viewfinder with >95% coverage, PSAM modes, and manual ASA setting and/or override. Everything else is secondary.
>why is film so expensive, it wasn't like this 5 years ago!Try 20 years ago when everyone was offloading their "old" stock for literal pennies, if not straight up binning it. I must stop myself from looking it up now because it makes my blood boil seeing scalper scum pushing shit expired by decades at same prices as fresh stock. (I also want to curbstomp the smoothbrain lomo hipsters who keep paying those prices and keeping the demand up).
>is medium format worth getting into?Oh fuck yes.
