This is the Film General Thread, aka FGT.
It's a place for you to post your film snapshits without flushing them down the Recent Photo Toilet.
>just posting in the FGT doesn't make you gay, unless your camera requires proprietary NiCad batteries
It is OK to ask about gear in this thread.

I've got an old Voigtländer 6*9 Bessa which has an option to shoot 4,5*6 but I don't have the insert to do so.
Apparently it's just kind of a stencil that one puts inside the camera. Has anyone got an idea on how I could make one myself?

it's a good camera, if the one in your pic is the one you're getting expect it to smell like mold

consider paying a little more for a cleaner example, the shutter dial and lever are going to feel much better

dont fuck with those shit russian lenses, pick up an old canon 1.8

It's a very heavy camera. It also doesn't like to get knocked around, the RF needs recalibration for every time you give it a simple knock.

Ae-1 is such a meme camera. What about it is interesting to you? Imo invest into glass for the Olympus or get your hands on a nikon SLR.
Or invest into point n shoots or a rangefinder type camera.

Well seems to have been rising in popularity on insta and in general in the film community. However it probably has always been popular. I shoot a lot on multiple a1's and altough it being a decent camera I found very little special about them. I can assure you the canon glass is good and the s.s.c. glass is worth the extra buck however I found that nikon made certain focal lengths I was interested in that canon didn't i.e. a pancake lens. Also focal length might be cheaper for nikon or canon. So it really depends on what you what kind of a system you won't to build up. Generally I think Nikon made more bodies to upgrade to. Especially the fm2 or n8000 were bodies I always found amazing but never went for because I was invested in the FD glass.

Anyway if you say you found a well priced ae-1 then you might as well go for it. But I don't think the shooting experience will be much different to the OM.

My om1 and om10 died and my favorite om2 is lonely. dont give a fuck about the 10 but RIP om1. but ya i just looked up nikons on ebay and couldnt find anything as cheap as the deal i found. The ae-1 is in decent condition and goes for 20 usd with two lenses oyvey

Nice. sounds like a good deal. I just found the fd-system to not be fitting my needs and when buying a new system camera I think one should always look at the system at a whole before buying. Just my 2cents. If you have questions about the system though feel free to ask.

Sorry to hear that. I was there too only for a month but I know in bogota was a really nice camera shop with good prices and really cheap film. I'd assume they still do their own developing. The shop was close to the university in the city center. Idk the name. but same goes for Medellin there also was a really nice film store right next to the university.

Imo the 50 1.4 really is worth the money its like 50 -70 bucks I believe. I was also using a macro focussing vivitar teleconverter. The Teleconverter basically gives you a 100mm 2.8 which is great for portraits and obviously even better for macro shots. I found it not taking away much of the sharp 50mm.

My girl has been wanting one for a while and I've convinced her she wants a film camera. I'm thinking about getting her a Nikon slr. probably something small like an EM. I'm thinking maybe a point and shoot though. If I speak for me and my friends, we are all videographers and filmmakers so we are constantly looking at displays and pressing buttons and going through menus; it gets cynical pretty quickly. Film just makes me so much more in the moment. I spend most of my time outside of the camera, where with a digital I'm going through menus and chimping.

Hey I'm new to (film) photography and I'm having some problem with understanding automatic exposure in aperture priority mode.
If I have an ISO 400 film in my camera but I set it to 800, the picture will be underexposed because of shorter exposure time, right?
And if I set ISO to 100 I guess it would be overexposed?
Then how do I make really long exposures (i.e. traffic light trails) without totally overexposing my picture? Even if I set aperture to 22 it's not long enough

You can't do it unless you get ND filters...and depending on how your camera meters itself those might not work.

Shoot when it's darker out or use slower film like (50 or 100).

First time messing with it, got a good deal on a decent camera for the format.
>Revere Eye-Matic EE 127
>4 element lens
>f/2.8 to f/22
>only one shutter speed (1/100th)
>tripod mount
>hot shoe
>rangefinder
>quite rare
>only for 30 bucks

Are there any do's n don't when it comes to 127 or is it pretty much the same as 120 just smaller.

It is SUPER popular with the Tumblr and Reddit crowd. If they shoot 35mm it's likely on an AE-1, thus this place hates it. It's honestly a solid camera and FD glass is great. Check out Minolta though as most lenses and cameras seem to be cheaper than their canon and nikon counterparts.

This might be a long shot asking /p/ a questions like this but I figured it's worth a shot, I've always gotten pleasant surprises from this board.

Does anyone here have any personal experience with drum scanners? I'm looking at a reasonably priced Tango that comes with everything including the mounting station, the old Mac computer to run it, the software and two drums. It's been a good year and I need a tax write-off, but I know these will certainly change my workflow and there may be more to the cost that I don't see.

My understanding is that these are fairly reliable machines, but of course service is only provided by one guy in the US. I also fully expect to spend a full day mounting, scanning, and cleaning just a drum full of film. But the results will be stellar. I've been getting more and more customers wanting prints over 72" and my flatbed scans from 4x5 aren't going to cut it, and labs charge upwards of $250 for a single scan. I can't throw money like that away, but I would be happy to invest in the machine myself so I can scan what I want when I want. I already am self sufficient with E6 developing and all and want to take it further.

I understand that quality fluid for mounting is about $80 for 160 4x5's, and I know I'll need to clear out a ton of space in my small condo, but are there more maintenance issues I need to be aware of?

Both of those blacks and whites are fine, but consider t-max 400 as well for long exposures and what-not (unless zouthern or something). The cheapest 400 speed colour negative film is portra 400, funnily enough, because many say it's the best stuff around. Fuji charges out the bumhole for pro 400h, but if you're fine paying like 4/5 more for slightly fuller colours, go ahead.

Well the scanner itself is only $5k, so at $250 per scan the payoff is only in 20 sheets, of course not including the labor time to perform the scanning but I've already considered that to be a net benefit in my book.

I shoot a couple hundred 4x5's a year and would like to achieve the best possible scans out at least a dozen or more per year, plus I have the old backlog of at least a hundred images that sell on a regular basis and people have been asking for larger sizes on many of them.

Then the question is, would you have paid to scan those 20 sheets? If so, you'll be saving money -- of course in proportion to how valuable you'd say your time spent is, unless it's hobby time of course. But like, if you're selling prints of those scans at a rate where doing it yourself is a money-making measure and not "saving money at hobby", heck go for it. The least you'll do is report back to /p/, right?

Also, living space: presumably these things are bigger than a b&w darkroom setup in a laundry room. "Computer workstation to drive it" sounds a bit like "four square feet just for that", which is a fraction of rent and other costs. But perhaps you'll be moving into a bigger apartment soon, hm?

I haven't but I've seen some stuff passively over time. I'd take the learning curve with a pinch of salt. If you're not thick as a brick you'll probably be fine. The physical scanning process isn't that hard.
If you're the type of person who struggles to use computers or old antiquated software you may have some issues, but I'm sure there's gotta be some good resources out there on the web for you.

Sorry I can't help you more with the drum scanning part particularly but you mentioned dust (which is my enemy)
Using a dedicated scanner like this, you've already said you're going to build a dust cover for it. My Pakon had issues a tonne with dust even when I was using a cover. I found a nice solution was to use cheap PVC tape on any opening before sealing then wiping down with a damp towel before scanning. Obviously in a clean room that's been hoovered/dusted etc.

So far I have yet to pay for a drum scan. A guy from Flickr offered to do a few for me at no charge several years ago and the results blew my mind. I also had him do a 645 frame and the detail was damn near what I get from 4x5 on my flatbed except the shadows were cleaner. Still, for all practical reasons I decided to ignore the idea of a drum scanner. However, in the last few years I've gotten the balls and finances to print BIG (48x60") and they sell, but I only have a handful of scans that I feel comfortable printing at that size. Ones with deep shadows or things the Epson couldn't deal with area a challenge and I would like to be able to print everything in my catalog at that size if requested. So, would I pay for 20 scans at $250? Shit no, but I would certainly do them if I had the tool. Unfortunately I won't be moving into a bigger space anytime soon as I own the place and enjoy it. It's not a small space but it's a two bedroom condo with no huge darkroom area. My current darkroom is in a walk-in closet attached to a bathroom and the Jobo processor lives in the spare bathroom, the spare bedroom is the "office" with framing table and print supplies which is where this thing would live. Somehow my lady doesn't complain about that arrangement.

>>2983046
That's what I figured. Years ago I had some shitty 35mm canonscan that needed SCSI and it was dumb but I could figure it out. I can imagine the Linocolor software that comes with the Tango drum scanner won't be awesome by today's standards but I can imagine that I'd be able to drive it with some practice.

So I bought a Yashica T3 off eBay which came with a roll of Fujicolor 200. I've got it developed and did some quick scans myself and it looks pretty grainy and awful. It's got loads of weird white marks and hairline streaks. Is it a badly expired film?

I scanned in some recent Portra 400 and it looks perfectly fine. Could there be anything wrong with the camera perhaps or is it just a dodgy roll of film?

Not sure what the white spots/lines are as there's no dust or dirt on the negatives.

Film base breaks down after it expires which is why you're seeing white spots and hairlines all over your image. It can start to fuck with the colours and will ramp up the grain as well.

M8, the white specks are absolutely dust on the film.
The line is a scratch, either from your camera, or the processor, or a speck of dust being trapped in the felt light seal of the canister and scratching the film.
More importantly, none of these things are a big deal, 30 seconds with the healing brush.
>>2983158
>Yeah but none of my other scans have those faint lines/specks
I guarantee they do, honey.
You probably just shot them in better light, or their non-expiredness gave a better response to their relative exposures.
A denser negative will show less grain and less dust than a thin one like these.
The moral of the story is to scan your film as soon as practicable after processing, and work in a clean environment.

I've dealt with plenty of Photo 1 students. You'd be surprised how many are thick as a brick, even when they should know better. A point and shoot is going to be fine if you want to have them understand composition. Manual Cameras will only be plenty useful when in the hands of someone with more synapses firing than a baked potato. If they aren't yet interested in what aperture and shutter speed do for photos, then it'll only result in confusing them. Granted I'm talking about non-photo/art majors. It's like teaching kids to write in pencil before pens.

the xa2 differs in a number of ways
no apature priority mode, range focus rather than rangefinder, slightly slower lens
however they go for a lot cheaper. the lens and camera is still pretty damm good and having range focus makes it incredibly easy to shoot quickly. i think both cameras have a inflated price

I don't think there's any torrent/crack. Everything I've tried to download was just an .exe file which is obviously a virus.

If you know what you're doing you can make adjustments layers and create an action for each film base you're using.

This is what I do. Takes some time to get it dialed, but once you do you never have to do it again for that particular film.

Nice lens, but a little slow. Scale focus works fine. Light meter is okay but kind of sucks in low light. Very compact and nice to carry around. Will be broken if you carry it around in your coat pocket for year and go climbing with it a lot.

It's a meme camera, prone to electrical problems and fuckhuge for a rangefinder. No manual control whatsoever. I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it. Get a Minolta or something if you want a decent rangefinder without paying yourself sick.

This is what shatbedders actually believe, children.

The reality is that every single roll of film you develop will have a different colour balance, as will most every frame, presuming one shot per motive.
You should be adjusting every frame individually.
Just like instagram filters are basic-bitch catch-alls, so are colour correction presets.

I got a cheapo TLR (rolleicord) for fun but I got impatient and rushed the first roll, Superia 400 (expired, but only last year).

Noob mistake, the one I was confident had a nice composition and exposure got fucked because I wasn't thinking and made extra exposures on it (I forgot it doesn't crank advance when you set the shutter like an slr).

Labscan because I don't think it's worth to dslr scan this roll.

And I know that photo was shitty but as a general rule i upload everything at a reasonable resolution and quality so if someone did want a photo they could actually use it.

It's been a while since we've done some film vs. digital shitposting. By accident I shot 2 very similar snapshits with both film and digital, so I thought I'd share.

Digital: a6000, ISO100, Lens Turbo 2, Minolta MD 50/1.4 @ f5.6, Capture One 10.

Film: Minolta XD-11, Minolta MD 50/1.4@ f5.6, Kodak Ultramax 400, self developed in Kodak Flexicolor chems, scanned with a6000 and Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5 @ f8, hand inverted in Capture One 10.

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to make any claims as to which is superior. I shoot both film and digital and will continue to do so.

My takeaway: At web sized resolutions, the differences in detail are negligible. Ultramax 400 did better than I would have expected vs a6000 at ISO 100. When printing large or cropping heavily, the a6000 pulls ahead by a substantial margin. The film handles the specular highlights much more gracefully. The digital workflow is far easier. But I enjoy playing with chemicals and inverting/processing.

Questions?

100% crop to follow.

I tried to leave things neutral for the sake of comparison. What you see is pretty much how Capture One rendered the digital shot, white balance set in camera to daylight. I processed the film shot to somewhat match. If it was to my taste the blacks would have been crushed.

They all send it out now. Honestly do it yourself. If you are doing color 135 or 120 film just get a Paterson and a c-41 press kit to start off. If you are doing black and white photographers formulary has really great chemicals to get you started although the process is a little less straightforward.

If you're only using the one back and not removing it, this shouldn't really be happening. Especially if you're not fucking around with the MLU/Double exposure.

yeah sorry i just don't know anyone that actually bought the 645 instead of just using the 6x4.5 backs on the 67 cameras... but anyway if he is using aperture priority mode and a metered viewfinder the shutter may not actually fire if the light is too high. or it could just be a shutter problem if hes using a waist level finder.

A lab did it, I don't know the exact model of the scanner they use, I just know that it's fuji and it's huge. I will investigate.

>fingers and scratches
I don't think fingers were the main problem with this roll, the film literally got stuck into the developing tank and I scratched and bent it while trying to fix it. I'll try not to fuck up next time. I'll try dish soap too, thank you for the advice.

I have only one film back. basically the shutter mechanism or whatever else blocks after six exposures but only if there's film inside the back. I have to open the film back to 'reset' it

Delta 3200 at EI3200 in HC-110. Dil. A or B? A takes less than 10 minutes, B more; also eats up twice as much syrup. Seems like a no-brainer, right... But what's the effect on contrast, grain, speed, etc.?

Oh finally, an anon that cares kek
though no else would reply
Well Darkroom is the only place that can develop it
I already have many prepaid mailing slips from them
So getting the photos is super easy from them.
just gotta wait.
On Ebay there's a group called ezoxcrop that strictly makes 127 film. Both in color and monochrome
They sell for a reasonable price.
Aside that, the eye matic is of course not the golden arch of 127
However, its more of a bronze.
Think about.
There are 100s of 127 camera with one len, fixed shutter, and only one poor aperture.
The only best ones are the Baby and the Yashica 44
But then I saw this, rare, unique piece
yea it doesnt have many shutter speeds but hey
huge ass aperture setting
rangefinder, one a 127film camera, never seen that
and flash sync, only 30 bucks
fuck that, im taking it, thats a steal kek.

Ironically it usually is the best indication.
They usually straight up dump unedited lab scans (because what is post, what is editing, this is feelm xD after all!) whereas flickr samples although greatly tagged and high quality/resolution are way more often cropped/heavily edited in post. It makes for good photography but bad film characteristic sampling.

Rating it at 640 is probabky a good idea, as all c41 gets grainer when underexposed. Grab some Natura 1600 once you're here to get a bit more speed. 3 packs are ~¥2400

Agreed, it's a lovely film. A bit expensive for most people though, B&H has it for $10.49 for a 35mm roll, vs $6.49 for a roll of Portra 400.

I hardly ever fuck with 'professional' emulsions since I feel like my photos don't really ever qualify for such a thing, but it'll be nice to shoot some better quality stuff after Japan

Yeah, that's about expected from TX in r09. Looks fine to me. If the grain bothers you that much, shoot 100 speed, use T-grain film, or get you a modern developer like HC-110 or knock-off equivalent.

Don't mind the individual grains, by the way. They're still communicating detail, texture, and tonality.

This probably is. You should be processing around 20/21c, which is room temperature. I'm not sure how good your finger is at measuring 20c, but I'm willing to bet that leaving a bottle of water out at room temperature for a few hours before hand will work a lot better for you.

Your tank will have nothing to do with it, and more agitation will give you more grain. It could just be a mix of the subject and it being a little underexposed? It looks exactly like what I'd expect for RPX in R09.

Colours are way off, probably a lightleak or you're shooting hella expired film.
The first just seems to be out of focus. Third shot has motion blur by the looks of it, google recriprocal shutter speed rule or use a tripod.
If the camera has a light leak, it's fairly easy to replace the seals.

V850 desu, but it really depends entirely on what you're scanning. Post what it is that you'll be scanning before asking a question like this and you'll get better replies.

120: DSLR scan/Epson
4x5+ Epson unless you love stitching.

I fucking hate DSLR scanning, I hate the time it takes to setup, I hate the fucking arrogance surrounding it's users but considering that scanning tech died with drum scans and lab scanners, it's the best way. It only requires you to be proficient enough to focus and exposure a frame, two things you should already be good at before scanning.

People give "budget" film a bad rep and people hype up even agfa vista but forget that back in the film days most goyim were shooting P&S or disposable cameras. Put a nice emulsion in a nice body with a nice lens and you'll get great results. The only thing AGFA/Superia/Gold 200 have going against them is that one stop, but they're really good emulsions in practice.
I shoot AGFA/Superia 200 over Portra 160 often.

Until the film gets a pink/purplish color cast. When it does, fix the film a bit longer, then make fresh fixer.

Buy a dedicated scanner (pakon, noritsu, frontier etc) or buy a shatbed then.

DSLR scanning will do, and it's kinda the best option you have anyway for xpan outside of the above.

Is mr. complains about tri-x grain and clarity re-using his fixer? Maybe more than 10 times without increasing fixing time from 3m30s? Underfixing tends to cause fog and exaggerated grain.

Yep, either too vigorous or not enough agitation.
Constant inversions for 30 seconds after pouring your dev in, and two inversions at one minute intervals for the rest of the dev time.
You should be counting one mississippi two mississippi to complete a full inversion.
You want to get a gentle flow of fresh mixture over the surface of your film, not creating any turbulence or aeration in the mixture.

Pretty terrible. Apart from literally everything else wrong with it, I think you should also have tried to get the shoes in focus. At least enough to let the viewer see what they are. You're shooting with a flash anyway so you can use small apertures.

The exposure of the film was adequate in these shots. The levels/curves of the finished product is what is making the photos so dark. What software are you scanning/processing with?

They don't seem so bad to me but maybe it's the monitor. I scan with Silverfast and edit with GIMP, I adjust the histogram somewhat in Silverfast and normally only do cleanup in GIMP. I hate computer work so I try to keep it to a minimum. It's also why my digishots look really bland.

Rollei's digibase kit is a good four-bath setup. Problem is, dev/bleach/fix/stab don't get spent at an equal rate, so you'll have to work it out to get best bang for buck.

Also it's not available in the US because of shipping regulations.

It's a great camera, easy to use and affordable lenses. My only gripe with it was that it hogs batteries, be sure to carry an extra set anywhere you go (the carrying strap has a battery holder). I recommend 2.8/28 and 2/45 for short lenses. Avoid 2.8/35, at least the newer version has pretty bad sharpness.

For film brands you don't have much choice, since you're just beginning I recommend you shoot with whatever's cheapest in your area. You can get a shitload of Fomapan for real cheap if you order in bulk of 10 or 20 rolls and it's good enough until you know what you're doing. I hear Kentmere is the best of the cheapo brands, but I have no personal experience on it since it's not sold around here.

Sorry, but I have to correct the record here concerning Minolta lenses. The MD 2.8/35 (newer version) has excellent sharpness for it's price class. It has better sharpness and far less aberrations than the 2.8/28. The 2/45 was the cheapest and worst kit lens Minolta ever put on the front of a camera. The ONLY positive thing about this lens is that it is tiny, practically a pancake. For some unknown reason, the shit-tier 45 has hipster cred. The 1.7/50 in any MC/MD/Minolta version will destroy the 45 and should be a Minolta owners first lens.

>My only gripe with it was that it hogs batteries
Unless you are shooting 30 rolls a day 7 days a week, this statement is utterly false. If you shoot 5-10 rolls per month, the batteries should be good for at least a YEAR. I agree it's a good idea to have a fresh set in the camera bag, but calling an X-series Minolta a battery hog is retarded.
