This is the thread for posting your film images without flushing them down the Recent Photo Toilet.
It is OK to talk about gear in this thread.

I have a decent collection of cheapish film cameras i've built over the last 2 or 3 years and I've decided I want to buy my first higher end 35mm film slr. I really like the nikon f2. what do you niggs think about the f2, or are there other cameras i should consider in the ~200 price range (for a nice one)?

Yo dude, depends where you're living. I'm not too well-versed it short term plans as I lived there for years and had ab2 year contract. There are definitely monthly plans you can sign up for. Be prepared to show your visa as places are quite hesitant signing over plans without proof of you being in the country for the duration of the plan. Also be aware that unless you sign up on the first of the month, you may get suckered into an extra month. I was with DoCoMo, but don't think they do monthly plans. Definitely make sure your phone is unlocked prior to coming.

Getting a high end 35mm slr is silly.

It's a light tight box. It doesn't matter. Get a nice medium format system, or get a rangefinder where the lenses you'll be buying into are actually markedly improved over SLR lenses.

The difference between high end SLR lenses and low end slr lenses is LESS then the jump in quality you'll get from high end SLR to a RF or any medium format camera.

Dude Hakuba is sick! I didn't explore the towns much, but if there's a kitamura camera in town they would send out for you...and potentially do 35mm c41 in house.

Otherwise people advertise their services on yahoo auctions as a Buy It Now price. If you go that route, once you have the contact info of a particular place you won't need to go through yahoo auctions again. I never went this route, but prices can be pretty damn cheap. ¥200 + shipping for dev + 16base scan.

CLE owner here. Shits cash, especially with m-rokkor lenses (I think voigtlqnder makes new m lenses that are roughly equivalents too). Framelines are a little weird (28/40/90) and don't always activate properly, so it can be odd with some of the more common m-mount lenses.

It is actually leather, but stinks of dust and age. Would using something like this on the outside work?

What about the inside? It is the fuzzy stuff. It is pretty disgusting with what I hope is chocolate on it. A wet rag and some elbow grease?

If it's really disgusting on the outside, you could wipe it off with acetone and get some shoe cream in roughly the same colour (or even rub all the colour off and make it another one if you'd like). Do be sure to apply the cream relatively quickly after the acetone or the leather will dry out. I'd do the inside with a damp cloth with some green soap or other mild detergent. If you're really into it, you could even stitch in a new inside but idk how good you are with needle and thread

Thanks, will give the outside a good polishing tonight.

At the very least it should cover some of the old dusty musk smell.

Still not sure how to handle the inside. Gave it a good scrubing but the choclate/mud/shit/whatever-the-fuck-it-is did not come off at all.

I would just buy a replacement, but the only e-bay listing is $60 with $25 domestic shipping.

>>3131343

It is black and i like it black, so I am just gonna go over it with some polish. Seems to be in good enough condition for a 30 year old case.

As for resowing insides....that'd be a great idea, but i can't even sew a button on, so I will just try to give it a cleaning.

the el dorado is such a wild building inside, one floor apparently has gold carpeting in the hallways and you have to take your shoes off, no matter whose apartment your going to.

Pic is Portra 400, all I shoot for 6x6. New scanner and using Silverfast now, 100 times happier than EpsonScan.

Over one million French workers were drafted into construction corps to build the French segments of the Atlantic Wall. The wall was frequently mentioned in Nazi propaganda as impenetrable and often greatly exaggerated in size and scope. Although some strongholds and port fortresses held out until Germany's final, unconditional surrender, most of the emplacements were stormed within hours of first contact with Allied forces.

Yes, but it's a pain in the ass. 620 is 120 in a thinner spool (kind of a proprietary format by Kodak to drive the sale of their own cams). You'll have to re-spool 120 film in 620 spools and then pray your lab won't throw them away even if you ask them not to.

Not that hard, it's really easy to be true.
I rarely use a 1934 Kodak Vollenda 620, great folding camera that, as suggested, requires 620 film. You'll just need to trim the exceeding edges of 120 film until their level reaches film level, that's it. I use a nail cutter, matter of 1 minute.

No it won't. You know nothing about optics if you think that. The front elements purpose is primarily protective. You can smash a lens with a hammer and still take a passable photo with it.

is there a point in getting a camcorder?

ive wanted one since I was a kid and ever since forgot about that desire, I saw one in pc world again and was reminded of how much I thought I could make really cool movies, anyway to the point:

is it worth it or is a smartphone with a good camera just as efficient?

That article is the worst case scenario with an entirely smashed front element.
You're not an experienced photographer if you've never used a camera with a single deep scratch and realized it doesn't affect the image quality save for occasionally a small loss of contrast.

A spiderweb fracture is exponentially more surface area for light scattering than a single scratch.

Why doesn't this camera get more love? Very solid build, huge viewfinder, fast AF, plays well with manual lenses, decent featureset, takes AA batteries, and best of all it's cheap. Ridiculously cheap. I paid 700 yen for this one in pristine condition, and it came with an old-style metal hardware Nikon strap probably worth that alone. Definitely recommendable!

smaller than a paterson tank

uses less chemicals since it's constant rotation/agitation (similar to a jobo)

plus it lowers the barrier to entry for home film developing. loading the film in the dark is the 'scary' part that turns a lot of people off. if this thing gets a whole heap of people into developing film then it's cool with me

Eighties plastic horror from the time before AF had become good. But obviously a damn good cop if otherwise no camera, or no backup camera for F-mount stuff.

>>3132260
It's supposedly handier than a 2x135 Paterson for developing 2x120 in sequence, if there's two reels available. Temperature measuring on the tank seems useful since there's no obvious way to stick a separate meter's head in there. There may be convenience advantage for developing one-offs as well.

Please do. I'm on the verge of ordering a Patterson tank and a changing bag but those make little sense as I still don't have a scanner, so I'm thinking I'd rather wait and get one of those instead when they're made available to the public.

I mean, who wouldn't want a box as easy to load as a mechanical SLR where you only have to pour the 500ml Rodinal dilution, then the fixer and call it a day?

What would be the best scanner now-a-days anyway? I shoot enough that a dedicated scanner would be worth it over a dslr setup.

I hear the Plustek 8200 can't be beat, but that is 135 only. The new revisions of the epson flatbed is supposed to be pretty nice, but I hear tons of negative things about the lower end models.

No idea. I have exactly the same dilema. I've almost ordered the Plustek 8100 several times already but then I remember I also shoot 120 from time to time and I'd rather not pay an arm and a leg to get it scanned in a lab, neither do I have an SLR: just a mirrorless Fuji that I doubt would be good enough for this task. I guess I'll eventually just get a flatbed, but the bulkiness is really off-putting.

If it's a yellowish grey, then it sounds like part of the film drooped into contact with itself, therefore avoiding (most likely) both development and fixing. You may be able to clean it up a bit by re-fixing the affected bit. 120, right?

Post a quick cellphone snap to be sure.

135 and what I doubt in that theory is that the streak is so long that the film should have been touching itself for most of the spiral. If every layer is supposedly bulging and touching the next layer, no part of the film can be in contact with itself.

Can't snap a photo but you seem to know exactly what I'm talking about.

I believe that the Hawkeyes are actually some of the sharpest Brownies you can get, but don't quote me.
Even so, simple single element meniscus box brownies will take very sharp photos if you use correct technique. Pic related.
620 film is just 120 on a slightly smaller spool. You will need to use a correct metal spool as your takeup, so the winding knob engages properly, however you can simply use a file or a bench sander or something to take some width off the plastic 120 spool at either end, and take the excess diameter off as well so it's almost level with the paper. Once it fits in the camera, you're good to go.
Use the red window on the back to wind to each frame, but keep it out of direct sun and then tape it over between shots.

Yeah, for 135 I got no idea. A duff fixer bath would underfix all over, bad agitation would make overall thin negs or streaks down the sprocket holes... could be something like a manufacturing defect, some crud along the film as a streak keeping the fixer out, if it's down the whole length incl. the fully black bit at the start. But I wouldn't expect this of Ilford based on their previous defect response; they were very thorough, clearly a reputation to maintain there.

If the streaks are vertical in landscape orientation, it could be a loading error, like even minutely moist reels or something, causing the film to actually bunch up a little bit here and there. That can also happen because of the film sweats, being summer and so forth. Or condensation if you kept the film in the fridge waiting to process, and didn't let it warm up for a couple of hours in between.

bois I'm looking into films and I can't seem to get the fidelity/smooth contrast that other b&w photographers get - when shooting stuff with a lot of sky, how do I get that sweet dynamic range where the sky isnt completely blown out compared to the subject?

using an om-40 btw

I have to keep investigating. It is horizontal. It's in the middle frames and runs through about a dozen. Both ends are clear. I've had this problem once with 120 in the past. The reel was dry but I'll see, if it's a loading error.

Ah, you're using a consumer body.
You need to upgrade to a prosumer or pro-tier body to get that increased dynamic range. Something like an OM4-Ti would work, however Olympus is really a low-grade brand.
Nikon or Leica will give you the best dynamic range.
I took this photo with my hasselblad, it's an "upper-pro tier" camera, check my range.

I am looking for an m-mount 28mm lens.

Can't decide between m-rokkor 28mm and Ms Optics 28mm.

The m-rokkor is a better lens, especially wide open, but it is really hard to find a copy with clean glass since they had a manufacturing defect that causes spotting on the front element. Most aren't bad enough affect image quality, but it is unsightly and can get worse.

The Ms Optics isn't all that great wide open, but stepped down past f/4 looks fine. Plus it is small enough to make it pocketable.

I am going purely on reviews for this, does anyone have any first hand experience with either?

I actually have an F-501 and AF 28mm f/2.8. Nice little combo actually, I just love my m-mount body a lot more and want a similar lens for it.

Yea I considered the Voigtlander. Using their 40mm now and love it. Others I saw are too pricey or too big.

>People have been making 28's in Leica mounts since the dawn of time

I was leaning towards the native Minolta because I have read that the Clear is weird and lenses from different manufacturers can set off the 40 and 90 framelines. Not too much of an issue, but kind of annoying.

>>SHIT NIQQA YOU CAN EVEN GET A GSW690 FOR LESS THAN THESE MEMES IF YOU LOVE RANGEFINDERS AND SYMMETRICAL LENSE DESIGNS AND THE 28MM FOV SO MUCH

I actually prefer SLRs. I just love my rangefinder because it is so tiny.

I considered the GS690 but if I am going medium format I am gonna get a 500cm.

Killing yourself would possibly be a bit extreme. It's a good subject and suits being backlit like that, but by you've trivialised it and removed any potential mystery by having those trees in the background. Keep the same focal length, go in closer and lower so having it take up more of the frame, back it against the sky so it's completely isolated and have the comparative height feel much more imposing. Then you've got a good snapshit.

You start out with a real pretty sky. Then add a colour contrast filter (orange is typical for shots that've got a lot of sky) and/or polarizing filter (adjust until the sky gains hella contrast). Because the sky will still be many stops above things lit by it (and direct sunlight), you'll still want to overexpose your film and underdevelop it.

You can also do what Alex etc. do and put a graduated ND filter on top of the sky part, bringing it down from blown-white range without fucking the shadows.

Basically, landscapes are hard.

Overcast sky is tough to fix with anything other than a graduated ND.

If you do lots of landscape stuff, a graduated ND filter is a must have. 2 stop soft is the most versatile, look into Formatt-Hitech resin filters for best bang for your buck.

I have a few questions about the ae-1 since I've recently come to own one through a relative. I got it with two lenses both 50mm 1.8, but one FD and the other FL.

Question #1: Is the only difference that the FD can take advantage of the auto aperture feature and the FL cannot?

Question #2: Do you guys have any recommended lenses for regular street photos, other than the kit 50mm 1.8?

Question #2: I was comparing the light meter of the camera to an app on my phone and it seems that the camera's meter works fine, it's just inaccurate. Is there a fix to this or am I stuck using my phone for reference?

Not really.

It mostly depends on the lenses available for the camera.

After that look at features, such as meter, battery free operation, priority modes, etc.

As far as film cameras go, the X-700 is a pretty solid choice. If I were tou I'd be looking at new MD lenses, not another body.

I recommend the free-est one you can find.
You will print 4 photos and never touch it again.
Seriously do not worry about the lense either. They will all produce very acceptable prints from f/8 onwards, presuming they aren't destroyed by filth or fungus.
If you have the option or the insatiable urge to spend money, however, 6-element f/2.8 lenses are the way to go.
For heads, colour diffusion models are the easiest to use. Condenser models are sharper and brighter, but require scrupulous dusting of all condenser elements, and the filters and the negs to produce perfect dust free prints. If you're not autistic about dust, or alternatively you are massively autistic about it and print in a climate controlled, HEPA filtered clean room (yes really people build these for printing) they they are the way to go.
Older Durst and Leica models seem to need a whole heap of expensive and hard to find parts to change lenses or masks or filters, etc, so I'd avoid them.

It began with japenese perverts looking for peeping tom cameras with a focus on video that would be maneuverable in a cramped japanese supercity setting and spread among anime fans that had a fantasy/fetish for their girlfriends/wives having sex with other men, often black men.

today, m43 is almost the exclusive source of original content uploaded to reddit and the majority of its sales are for members of the various cuckolding/pseudocuckolding(e.g. hotwifing) communities.

I would reccomend against it. It's a bit of a fad format among a group of really esoteric sexual deviants and social outcasts, not the kind of platform you want to invest in. You wouldn't buy a car just because it was popular with anime fans, would you?

The Canon won't make the slavic shithole you live in any less dark, however it will give you better exposures for the most part, and much better film handling.
You can even adapt your Zenit lense and shoot it in aperture priority if you don't want to lose the speed of the prime. Even without a microprism the superior viewfinder will probably make it easier to focus.
Really, swapping a Zenit for literally any other working camera is a no-brainer.

I loaded a roll into my rangefinder and it has been in there for weeks and I am only up to 12 of 36 shots. It is taking forever to finish.

I keep finding myself going to take pictures of something neat only to realize it will look boring without color.

Am I doing it wrong?

Just do it, the process alone is almost magical, seeing your image slowly appear on the paper. The possibilities are endless, you only truly see how the negative is just the intermediate phase of the photo, you can do so much with printing. Dodging/burning, split grade, cropping, toning etc. and that is just black and white. Of course having actually good photos to print is a benefit.

I also have a fuckload of negatives from my (great)grandfather in the Dutch East Indies, most of them don't have existing prints so there's even more meaning added to the darkroom process. Maybe your family has that as well

Yes. Take photos of things you want in colour with colour film and things you want in b/w in b/w. If you notice you don't take a lot of photos in b/w, stop using it. I do roughly 70/30 (colour/bw) and if I really want to switch during a roll I just wind it back and write the number of exposures on the canister so I can load it again afterwards

if the goal is to get good shadows, and using a tripod is not a problem, you should shoot it at 400, calculate for reciprocity failure, and dev it at 200

shooting at 800 and devving at 1600 will give you very high contrast images, with bright highlights and almost no shadow details. that might be desirable, but from what you write it seems like its not what youre going for.

exposing at 800 (or even 640), then pushing development to 1600 will give better detailed mid tones, but denser highlights. Shooting and dev'ing at 1600 will give higher contrast, less detail in potential mid tones, and literally no shadows.

In an ideal world if you're shooting at night, metering for 640/400 then pushing 2 stops would be great, then you'd get the best details in mid tones and shadows and a little less recoverable highlights, but hp5 or tri x takes overdevelopment of 2 stops pretty badly.

I grey balance off the orange mask to neutralize it first. Then invert, then work on the colors.

>>3134596
If you want color, Tri-X for speed and Acros for sexy sharpness and smoothness. Composing with square takes some time, as does using a WLF. Br patient.

Hope you didn't fuck some other photog over by advertising the film as okay. If so, I wish you insane xray damage on all of your film the next time you travel...or a skateboard shot straight into your face.

(i guess grey balance and color balance are the same thing?)

the scans from the shop have a teal tint and are a bit faded.

on my scan i do:
-color balance for the orange mask in LR
-invert in PS
-compress r/g/b separately with Levels
-grey balance

the result is a perfectly white balanced image with no fade.
i mean, what characteristic of the film is then left untouched?

i'm stumped because i kind of expected VSCO-like results from film, and i'm now learning that the attractive "film" characteristics are simply derived from scans with improper black/white points and color balancing.

if this is wrong i would love to be corrected.

You're right, film looks nothing like VSCO. If all you want is the VSCO aesthetic, shoot digital and lift the blacks / fuck with tones in post.

Even some of the least contrasty / saturated colors film looks nothing like VSCO stuff (pic related).

The Ricoh KR-5 Super II is pretty alright, anything that takes K mount will be fine.

If you're having to tighten the film winder on your camera it sounds like it's on it's way out as it is

if that was a lightleak you'd see the light bleeding onto the sprocket hole area. The entire area of the film is light sensitive, so if you had light leaking in somewhere you'd likely see it across the entirety of the film area or at the very least not stopping at frame lines.

It looks like the camera didn't advance properly and you made an exposure 'in between' frames. So yeah winders probably fucked my man

people get really defensive about the developer and technique the use, most of it is garbage/magic thinking and the differences are small imo

I use hc110 only because I got a bottle of it with some other stuff and it lasts forever. I'm too lazy for a two part developer or anything that needs to be mixed from powder.

So I had this issue with 1 roll of film on my new XA2.

The whole roll had these lines on them, top an bottom of the photos. Of course I thought it was light leaks but the foam seals are in great shape.

My 2nd roll of film has none of these lines on the entire roll.
So any ideas wtf happened to that first roll? I am hoping it was a fluke with development, sent it to a lab, not the camera itself. Or perhaps it was my mistake and the film was not flush in the camera and got crinkled up.

Film type was Fuji 200 Superia. Pic related.

It's Rollei CR200 repackaged. Saying it's flexible from 100 ISO to 400 ISO is just a marketing tactic of saying its usable +/- 1 stop...which is a given for most slide films.

Wait for nice light and shoot whatever. Arashiyama is touristy as fuck, but if you're dead set on going the piss yellow cast of Rollei CR200 would look nice there.
