I gotta say, as much as I like how the nice 100 speed films look, sometimes I really hate being stuck with 100 speed film as soon as any light levels fall, or you're in the shade. Fug.

I like Provia and Ektar a lot, but I'm going to just shoot 400H and Portra for the rest of my life at this rate.

Bleh. I've tried B&W, but it's not my thing. I shoot what I see, and what I see is in colour, so a lot of my B&W ends up not making any sense.

Also, red filter + 400 speed isn't really all that much different from 100 speed film.

Fujica ST605 for 12 bucks

Or Minolta X-370 for 20 with two cheap lenses?

I have both minolta and m42 lenses already, but no working film SLR.

What one would you guys get?

The minolta dude says barely used, the photos even has a booklet and and a flash, the Fujica also appears to be in good shape but the sellers reason is he is too old and has too many cameras.

Are cd scans that I can get when I get my film developed worth it?

Seems somewhat low-rez (I think it said like 2 mp?), but i figure they can be a rough guide for when I do my manual scans. Though it does take a day instead of an hour.

If they cost you anything, not really. I sometimes get them for free because my friend works at a lab, and although the quality isn't great they're useful as a sort of contact sheet. You can instantly see which shots are worth scanning.

>>3057714
Don't stick the film in your butthole, it might get stains. Do open the back of your camera sometimes when shooting, you'll get awesome blacks in your shots.

Looking through the viewfinder with the lens stopped down to f16 makes it super dark and very hard to focus.

Open aperture metering means the lens stays wide open even when set to f16 or whatever, and will meter for that aperture, but will only stop down the lens when you actually take the photo.

They're not bad, but they were made to a price point. They were cheap cameras in the day, so why buy one now?

Film cameras as a whole are extremely cheap, so you might as well get something decent.

Well like most cameras, the light meter starts with the half press of the shutter button.
Normally, the camera can see how much light is coming though the lense, and can use that information to decide what your shutter speed should be set to to make a correct exposure with that amount of light.
If you want to stop your lense down at all though, the camera needs to know what you've set it to, and also what the aperture number is wide open, so it can take the light it has, and work out what number to divide it by, before it can tell what shutter speed will be appropriate when the aperture closes to take the shot.
Most M42 mount cameras have no way of reading that information from the lense, so in order to meter correctly for anything other than wide open, they need to physically close the aperture first. So there's a little stop down button next to the lense that does that. But of course that makes your viewfinder go dark, and is just one more step.
The other camera in my photo is a 705, it has a little feeler tab on it that reads where your aperture dial is set, on matching Fujinon M42 lenses. This gives it open-aperture metering capability, but only with matching lenses. It's practically the same camera besides that.

If you're penny pinching, anything by Pentax will be good as well as cheap. You mentioned you had m42 lenses, so there are a number of Pentax bodies that will suit your needs.

If you want to start a new system and want something good, the Nikon F series are widely considered the best film SLRs ever. These were made for the professional market back in the day, and are amazing to use. I owned a Nikon F3 a couple years back and strongly regret selling it.

If you want to go for a rangefinder but don't want to spend Leica money, buy a Canon. These went toe-to-toe with Leica in features and build quality for a shitload less cash. They have metal shutter curtains instead of fabric, so they won't burn or break like the Leicas. The rangefinder mechanism is a lot more reliable, and requires calibration a whole lot less often. They also use the same lens mount as the leica (L39 / leica thread mount). I'm currently using a Canon P from the late 1950s and it is a joy to use, and cost me ~$150 usd with a 50mm lens

Get both, they are dirt cheap.

The X-370 is a made in China, stripped down X series camera.

You'd be better off getting an X-500 or SLT Minolta camera.

Have you shot Leica? Closest to recommend would be the Bessa R series, but Canon is a little different. I'd say it's hard to get the rangefinder misaligned if you care a little for your camera, but if it gets a bump that's hard enough to misalign the rangefinder, it won't matter if it's a Leica, Canon or Bessa.
I'd recommend getting a Bessa R2 for the very good built in meter and great viewfinder. Bessa R2, not R for m-mount, which also allows you to use ltm lenses, wheras at Canon you're stuck with ltm lenses.

Yeah I owned a Leica M2 for a good period of time before selling it due to necessity. I ended up picking the Canon P since it exists in the same sort of era as the M2. I would say that the Canon is 90% as good as the M2 overall, much better in a lot of ways (film loading and exposure counter) and worse in a lot of ways too (viewfinder and rangefinder are less good).

I could never get into the Voigtlanders for some reason. To me they don't offer a lot over the Canon rangefinders and they're a good deal more expensive.

I'm quite happy with the ltm system, lenses are generally cheaper than M-Mount.

Shot a Bessa R for some time and actually, the viewfinder is as bright as the one on my Leica. Shooting M4 now and the quickloading is pretty simple. True, ltm are probably enough, but I like to have the option of shooting e.g. Summicron 4.
Anyway, I guess you're right and for a beginner a Canon P, Canon 7, or Bessa R + 35 or 50mm is enough. The only problem is that these usually don't hold value that well and if you want to upgrade, you're paying twice.
If you haven't tried/gotten it already, I strongly recommend the CV 21mm.

I bought a Voigtländer Vitomatic IIa as my first rangefinder, after using various slr systems for a longer time. It was very cheap (€40) so I just picked it up because for that money you can't really go wrong.

Would you think they are inferior cameras or just overpriced?

I have a Vitomatic with the Color-Skopar lens. The light meter isn't reliable at all, you don't want to rely on it. Either shoot sunny 16 or carry something else to meter with. The aperture-shutter-setting ring is a bit weird to use at first but handy once you get used to it. The lens is nothing to write home about, pretty soft even when stopped down to f/8. It was an affordable compact of its era, after all. Lastly, the camera is small but surprisingly heavy and built like a tank. If you can deal with having no reliable light meter, it's an affordable and mechanically reliable beginner's camera.

Question about doing double exposures manually on slrs (minolta srt 101 in my case):
I know that you have to advance the lever while holding the film with the rewind knob and pressing the rewind button to be able to take a second exposure, however doesn't the act of tightening the film with the rewind knob slightly displace the frame position so that the second exposure doesn't exactly line up?

Also do I need to give each exposure only half the amount of light I normally would?

Ideally it shouldn't move, as the rewind release should disconnect the rewind level totally. But if it moves slightly, well no biggie, part of the deal. If it needs to be exact, shoot each one individually and merge in post, or shoot digital and merge in post.
You can expose each one as usual.

When it's sunny I love my FP4 125, but the real problem here is how changeable the weather is. You can easily get soaked and sunburnt in the same day then back again. A 100 speed roll of film would be fine while the suns out but when the clouds come you'd want something faster. I'd say go with 400 and you can rate it at whatever you feel, just shoot with it however and compensate in development cos it'll do nice light and shite light equally. Plus if you're in London you'll be in and out of the tube so go faster, but pick a versatile stock with good latitude.

I have money for a travel project and am estimating to shoot 80-120 rolls of C41 120 in 6x6. The best deal I've found is also conveniently near where I will return home, it is $8.75/roll for processing + 1000x1000 pixel scans. Is it worth jumping up to $24/roll for 4800x4800 tif scans? Should I just be processing and scanning on my own with this many rolls?

Doing something similar. Fuck no it isn't worth jumping up to the higher res scans. You'll be lucky to get a 30% keeper rate on Your rolls. You'll be paying for high res scans on shit photos. Do the cheapest option and then pay for individual scans after going through your shots and selecting keepers.

So I got my first test roll back for my X-500. Just snapshits around the block really.

First roll of film I have shot since I was like 12 in the 90s.

I haven't done proper fullframe scans yet, but I have the low rez image cd thing. I will post three of the less bad ones.

They all do need some cropping and pp though.

I blew out the sky on every picture (especially this one). Not sure if it was because I metered at the wrong spot (most likely), or thanks to the ugly overcast solid white sky that day.

Hoping I can do something with them with a proper scan, but a glance at the negative makes me doubt it.

Pushed because I wanted access to higher shutter speeds and higher f-stops to do street photography, as well as shot a lot of shots indoors with not as much light. My decision to push was not for artistic value.
Shooting on the move -->Higher shutter speed to prevent blur
Not much time to focus on instant moments --> Higher F stop to have a higher chance of producing a usable image that has the subject mostly in focus.

Any film can be pushed and pulled because it happens in the development process.

Quoted By:

>>3058627
When you push a roll of film, it applies to the entire roll. Most developers should have the capability to push. When you drop off or send film to them you simply tell them which roll was pushed. 400-->800 is +1 400--->1600 is + 2. Pull is 400-->200 or 100. I recently went to a developer that did not have pushing capabilities, so they had to refer me to a lab that did.

Be careful, because pushing also changes the characteristics of the film. Just refer to google for references to different film stocks pushed and pulled.

Hey Guys, I just started using film and i picked a cheap kodak colorplus 200 and loaded it in a pentax mx with a 50mm 1.7 lens. I know its not the most premium film but believe for someone starting like me its going to be fine since i only want to be a photographer as a hobby .
-From a hobbyists perspective that likes the art and the work behind a photograph is film a better choice?
-Does anyone else has any experience with that film?
-There are seminars here that teach Photography and how to use the dark room! Do you think its wise to participate? i would really like to develop but also sometime in the future print my own B&W or color prints.
- What are some things that i should do to be more efficient with film? Is it bad to just burn through the whole roll while out practicing? And i dont mean in a dslr way of snapping everything 10 times .

Thanks, especially for the light meter tip, I'd probably have wasted a roll if I wouldn't have known. It seems to be a problem with a lot of older selenium based honeycomb light meters, but less so on those kept shielded from light most of the time, so I'm hoping that's the case. I have a first-generation Trip-35 that is spot on, but a lot of others are all over the place. I'm hoping to get into rangefinders because taking an slr isn't always an option. Now I just use an OM-1 with a 50mm lens for those situations which is almost as small, but well, I just want to use a rangefinder.

Thanks again and may I ask which film you used in your pic?

Thanks. As most color negative films it handles overexposure well, but when underexposed it becomes grainy and to me it also looks like it gets a greenish tint.

lol, mainly Ilford HP5+, which is like 4.50/roll; the chems to develop I got through Adorama which were fairly inexpensive. The first few rolls were completely shit, because I just kind of shot and point at everything. Now, only MOST of the roll is shit.

>>3058969

I realized that the cost of buying good film and getting it developed would be totally unaffordable if I stuck with color, so I have mostly worked in black-and-white. I decided to use the money I could spare to buy better glass, and eventually get a DSLR.

Was tempted by the D7500 that just released but honestly, 4k video is the only big improvement and I don't see a need for that.

something high speed

Tri-X or HP5 pushed to 800 or 1600 with a flash would work well for night shooting. Otherwise if it's during the day anything 400 speed and up would work fine.

Bring a reasonably wide angle lens and a flash

It works pretty well. Fumbles a little in low light, but overall pretty nice. It is certainly no a99ii, but I hear it is similar in AF speed to the a77. I have never used a Sony SLT, so I really couldn't tell you.

I used the tumor adapter and the Secret Handshake for travel for about a year until I got a native zoom. No complaints at all with speed.

I have been using the Techart Pro adapter with MD lenses most recently actually.

The LA-EA3 already supports ospdaf on newer bodies.

Unfortunately it only works with newer SSM and SAM lenses, it has no motor to control screw driven Minolta lenses.

First off what do the buttons at the bottom of the film do? (pic related)

and second off, I put the batteries in and while the camera is off, it is still showing the "E" symbol for no film (its empty). Will this drain the batter and is it supposed to be off when the camera is off?

Thanks

The buttons are for rewinding the film. I would guess 1 unlocks the rollers and 2 makes the motor rewind. The E simply means there's no film inserted. The tiny liquid crystal display doesn't consume power worth the tiniest crap.

Vivitar is a known third party maker of lenses and cameras, mostly manufactured by someone else and then rebranded by Vivitar. Yours is another one of the cheap point and shoots they had on the market, probably from some Japanese manufacturer like Cosina. Don't expect stellar quality from it, but it should make a fun point and shitter.

I've got like a zillion cameras, shop extensively for them, always searching secondhandies, and I've inspected dozens of these.
I've only found 1 (one) that wasn't fucked, and that's only because it is a dead simple one, no rangefinder, 3 shutter speeds, manual cocking, knob wind, and it had been kept in its box for the last 70 years, by the look of it. Even then, the lense is garbage, and the focus calibrations on the front standard are miles off. It's an Ensign 6x9 with a Rapid Rectimat (I think) f/8. I paid $120 for it, I get better negs out of box brownies.

The Zeisses are always broken. Also, the lenses are made of cheese grade glass, so if it's been used, it's rubbed to shit, and also the bellows will be shagged.

If you can find one that's in LNIB condidtion, and film tested, then by all means I'm sure it will be a lovely camera, but there are just way too many ways for them to fuck up from me to gamble on an ebay one.

Fuck, that's cool.
Unfortunately your only options are to
>find old 16mm stock on ebay, and 16mm cartridges on ebay, and load the cartridges yourself
>buy new 16mm stock from Kodak, for eyewatering prices, and ebay old cartridges, and load them yourself
>pay eyewatering prices for vintage 16mm cartridges preloaded with cut down modern film stock from Blue Moon
I would go with option 3 unless you're a very capable darkroom operator already.

Don't push c41 films. You can give a bit of overexposure (⅓-½ stop) and just have the lab dev normally. Or just shoot at box speed but me, I always give my negs a bit of extra light.

Where the hell do you develop your film? Here in the Netherlands, developing will cost you at least €5 with no prints of any kind (€3 if you want your negs all scratched up by HEMA), and another €5 if you also want to get your roll scanned. But it only gets better... The place I mentioned, that will develop and scratch up your negatives for less, won't even scan your shit unless you pay them at least €20 for some tiny prints!

They should be the same amount of orange on pretty much every film.
His ones are quite blue, indicating that the colour hasn't been corrected.

I've been shooting on a DSLR for a while and would like to try out film.

Are there any precautions I should take when using a film SLR that has not been used for the past 20 years? This is the Minolta XG-M.

For example, I've heard some cameras have destroyed rubber seals that will stick onto the mirror during exposure and become a pain to clean off.

I realize I need to replace the batteries. Do the electronics degrade? For example, do the capacitors pop or break somehow? Do the CdS light meters lose accuracy over time?

In addition, is there a Pentax film SLR that allows for aperture control using the camera body in manual exposure mode on DA lenses (no aperture ring)? I have the DA 35 and DA 50 which should both be fine on 35mm film. I'd prefer an SLR that also meters in manual exposure mode.

The precaution you should take is get a different SLR from your Melena. Preferably one that takes your existing glass, whichever system it's from.

Repairing a plastic camera that's got plastic gearing and all that plastic mid-to-late 80s garbage in it will cost more than a decent SLR plus a 50mm f/1.8 kit lens. Or you can pretend to inspect it and then throw a roll of film away, and then throw the camera away.

Well the thing about the based God Ken is that once you're actually a photographer, not a spec-wanking sonyshooter, and you understand that any modern, "enthusiast" camera can probably take any kind of photo you want, you appreciate that the things he focuses on in his reviews are the things which actually affect the user experience.
So for example if your Sigma lense has half a pixel less CA and is just barely sharper in the corners than the Nikon equivalent, dxomark will praise it to high heaven, whereas Kenneth will recall that he has had compatibility issues with Sigma lenses and new bodies, the focus ring turns the other way to all real Nikon lenses, the camera doesn't have distortion profiles for it, and it takes some fucking imaginary filter size, that again doesn't match your other lenses.
So which one of these is the more worthwhile review for the real photographer?
>>3059208
>he almost only praise the gear he "reviews"
Comparison is the thief of joy, brother. If Ken says it is good enough, it probably is. That is not to say that you can't find "better". But at the end of the day, switching to 67 from 35mm is meaningful; switching from an f/1.8 to f/1.4 is a distraction, and Kenneth will say as much.

I've been shooting black and white film for years and I do my own developing and scanning and wet printing, but I've still never seriously tried color. Where do you guys get your 120 color film developed? There's lots of places I can mail it off to and there's also one photo lab in my city that does dip and dunk developing for all film sizes and processes, but it's expensive. How do I know what lab is good? Or should I just stick to C41 and do it myself?

Yodobashi Camera.

648円(~$6) to develop 24 exposures (I think 36 is the same, will find out in a week or two) and 540円($~5) to get scans (full sized example attached).

The scans feel washed out, but I am not sure if that is due to a bad scan or fucked exposure. This is my first time using film.

The usual default lab scanner settings, which is typically maximum sharpening and either flat or super-saturated colors. That's not too bad still, here in Yuropoor lab scans cost twice as much and are usually far worse quality.

I do it in my kitchen, using a bucket of warm water and the 4-bath Rollei Digibase kit. Comes out to like 60 eurocents per roll, if all possible capacity is utilized in the developer lifetime.

But it's a fucking hassle. And it made my previously pristine teflon-coated plastic reels look filthy, even though they're as smooth now as they were years ago. I guess this is why many pros go with rotary processing.

I recently developed 3 different flims (portra 160, gold, superia 400) at the same place. When looking at the scans I received back, I really coudn't tell any difference between the films in terms of colours. I shot all 3 films in the same conditions (sunny). So does this mean that the lab colour corrected the scans to look neutral or is "film having unique colours" a meme?

pic related is portra 160, which I expected to look more "creamy"

Hay fags, guy having trouble with AQS a couple of days ago. Just put the film through the scanner and, well, looks like AQS just looks thin on the strip; the clear polyester base makes up for it.

Looks like it's retro 400s after all, or very close.

Pic related.

>So does this mean that the lab colour corrected the scans to look neutral or is "film having unique colours" a meme?
Both.
Labs have film scanners that run a preset inversion and color correction, it'll balance all pictures to look basically the same depending on how it inverts and balances. Say, it may invert the image, auto exposure it, auto white balance, auto color (to get rid of green/blue/red tints), even noise reduction and sharpening...
On the other hand, film does have characteristics, based on their physical/chemical composition, some colours will saturate before or later, have different ranges, etc.
This is not an argument towards "digital cannot replace film", it's just how film is, and different films have different characteristics. Otherwise we would get C41 (colour negative) in only one flavour, without speed, reciprocity factors, etc.

You should use ideally a DSLR, or at least some kind of scanner which allows you to have a raw negative, which then you'll post process doing the whole darkroom process in digital.

That said, if you only shoot film for it's "colours" then just shoot digital and apply film like presets on them, like VSCO or whatever. It's easier than doing the whole film process only for that.

I believe the cosina built rangefinders, and also the M42 bessa, are actually pretty closely related to an old menelta design that they bought the tooling for.
So your stupid wish for a new Menelta may even be slightly acheivable.

/fgt/ where are you active online? I came back to photography last year and finally starting to be more active now.
Before I never looked anywhere else other than here, flickr, tumblr, reddit, for communities.
That said, reddit is way worse than I remember it being back 8 years ago.
their /fgt/ equivalent, /r/analog, is mostly shit.
I never liked tumblr.
Flickr is dead as usual and it's the same "your pic has been selected for *ROBERT AMAZING LNSCAPES* TOP 1000" shit community.
