Just picked up a Canoscan FS4000US to replace my dying Nikon LS2000. Got it off craigslist for $150 new in box.

Resolution is pretty good compared to the LS2000 or my v550. Pretty happy with it.

My story was about how I faced multiple fast-breaking soviet cameras, bought Contax and was happy. I think you might have an inner market in Brazil, we have a huge one in Russia, so you will not need to pay twice the price for shipping. Try it out if it is so, that is how I started. If you will go with the ebay route then I am afraid it could be nothing but an acceptable soviet camera. You may go with almost any Zenit but my personal recommendation will be Kiev-19. I am not a pro so its just an opinion but try to avoid soviets, really.

It's Fujicolor 100. It's alright and I would buy it while living in Japan as it was pretty easy to score rolls for <$3. I would not pay a cent more than that though. Seeing people sell it for $10+ a roll in the US is hilarious. It's just some cheap 100iso film that has the graininess of 400 speed stuff. I wouldn't go out of your way to buy some.

>not researching prices of film or developing before going out to buy a roll

If that's what slide costs for you, fuck slide. If you really want to shoot slide, at least develop it yourself.

just got a bunch of expired kodak gold 200 from 2011 for $1.37 a piece. supposedly cold stored.
should I expose it at box speed or at something slower? thinking maybe at like 125, just to be on the safe side. I've never shot expired film that old.

I read that for expired film, you have to shoot it at half the speed for every decade.
I highly doubt there is an exact relationship for film, but quickly applying the rule I came up with the following mathematical expression if you really wish to be exquisite:
current ISO= box speed*(0.5)^(number expired years/10).
For your expired film we have:
box speed= 200
number expired years= 8
So plugging in the data int my equation:
current ISO= 200*(0.5)^(8/10)= 114.86
Approximate to the nearest ISO setting your camera has, which is indeed 125.
But if the result was 111, I would approximate to 100 for example.

yea, I heard about the "half speed for every decade" thing but I wasn't quite sure if it applied to color negative film, knowing how forgiving it is within a stop of underexposure, unlike BW and slide film.
that's a neat math expression. I'm saving it just because it seems like the kind of thing that would keep my anxiety at ease a bit when I have to make a decision like this lol

A tangent but I noticed when shooting some Ektachrome 160T which I got cross processed (got a few rolls for free, expired and room temp stored, basically just lomo material now) that it seemed to look better at 100 rather than 160 - I shot a test roll switching between the two speeds. So when cross processing expired slide maybe some slight overexposure might help. You might blow out the highlights somewhat, but the blacks/shadows could look so grainy and bad that I’d rather lose some highlights as a tradeoff.

Note, I did this with one roll only really, and my test was not at all technical.

Expired slide in E6 though, just shoot at box speed. Might be color shifted to hell though even if properly freezer stored, I had some Velvia 50 that was completely pink and awful, while other film I got in the same batch were all fine.

I also just bought all the stuff to start doing b&w 35mm at home, a few questions: 1) How do I make sure my chems are at 20c for the whole process time? 2) Should I make my dilutions with distilled water, or is tap okay?

>How do I make sure my chems are at 20c for the whole process time?
Measure temperature before pouring, mix at 19°C. This way when temperature rises during processing, it'll be 19½°C .. 20½°C, which is good enough for most any combination of film and developer. One or two degrees don't make any real difference at development times longer than (say) four minutes. Rodinal in particular is less sensitive to temperature with increasing dilutions, esp. the 1+100 stand dev recipe ignores temperature entirely.
>2) Should I make my dilutions with distilled water, or is tap okay?
Distilled is necessary only if your tap water is particularly ratty. You'd know if it were. There may be issues with hard water (i.e. where it's got calcium in it therefore a slightly sub-7 pH value) but I don't know of that since mine isn't.

>1) How do I make sure my chems are at 20c for the whole process time?
The temperature doesn't change enough to matter during the process. You only care to bring it to the specified temperature, and then you're good. Also, you only care about developer temperature, wash/stop/fixer are not temperature sensitive. Keep in mind not too have extreme changes though (>10 degrees ºC) because you'll fuck up the emulsion with reticulation (the emulsion layer becomes like a dried raisin from sudden expansion/contraction from the abrupt temp change).

>2) Should I make my dilutions with distilled water, or is tap okay?
Tap water absolutely fine. I mean you'll be washing with tap water anyway, what's the point of using distilled water for the diluted working solution? I use tap water even for the stock solutions, and even for ""picky"" developers like Xtol.

Lastly, a quick tip to regulate temperature, is if you're using 1:1 solutions. Instead of heating/cooling anything, I just measure the temperature of the stock developer solution. If, say, it's 17 °C and I need it at 20, I stat the tap slowly increasing the hot water tap until the water flowing is 23°C.
Then when I mix it with the stock solution half and half, the working solution temperature will be 20 °C.

That way I don't have to wait until the chemicals are heated up.

It's quite easy when you get a hang of it, I have it in muscle memory so I'm not sure I can explain but I'll try. First, you spin until you hear the click, then you push the retrieving tongue in. Then spin the film again a bit, this time "against" the tongue, if you did it correctly you should hear a noise and feel the sprocket holes going over the teeth in the retriever. Then you just use the sliding thing on the retriever to pull the leader out.

>>3490582
Just check that it's at 20c when you start, no need to worry after that. Only the temperature of the developer really matters to be honest, as long as it's in the ballpark (to avoid reticulation for example). I guess water depends on where you live and what the water's like, I've always just used tap water for everything with no issues.

Well there's JapanPhoto and Elitefoto. Elitefoto is the cheapest option to develop C41 if you scan yourself (69kr), but their scans are garbage. JapanPhoto is better, but you have to get prints for C41, so it's always 179Kr.

Kentmere with replenished D76 works quite strangely. Give a good exposure or even a + 2 over and be image is fine (like this >>3490831), but slightly underexpose even half a stop and the gobs of grain show up. Kentmere is a classic emulsion style film, pronounced grain even when pulled 2 stops. I’ll scan the print soon hopefully, the diffuser I have on my enlarger really hides the grain.

In fact, shooting 100 rolls of bulk-loaded RPX 400 (or something of equal price) per year and developing in HC-110(b) comes out to less than 400€/year with fixer and storage sheets etc. but some upfront cost for cartridges and a bulk loader, dev gear, scanner, and so forth which pays for itself with use.

decent cameras, but on standard nikon fashion, they got crippled for being lower end, bottom-line models. on the f60 you can't use non-DX coded film, as it has no way of manually setting the ISO. f50 lets you set the ISO, but it's an older model and the control interface is kinda funky as everything is done with a series of pushbuttons.
kit lenses are pretty decent tho, the 28-80 in both D and G works well as an all around kit lens for cheap.
I'm a nikonfag but for cheaper '90s AF cameras I prefer canon eos cameras.

>For around 100$ I could get three cameras and 3-4 lenses.
better get one higher-end camera, like an F80, N8008 or F90/F90x, instead of 3 low-end cameras.

CLE is great, but no one will touch the thing because it is kinda rare and parts are in short supply.

I hear it shares a lot in common with the Minolta XD, and the only truely irreplacable part is the circuit board.

I have a CLE w/ grip, tripod, flash, 28mm, 40mm, 90mm, and shoulder bag and love the little thing.

Money is getting tight and I might have to sell it though. Probably gonna be the last body I let go of.

The 90mm F4 is ok, it's the same lens as the Leica Elmar-C 90mm F4. You might want to consider getting a Leica 90mm F2.8 though, they are still quite compact and affordable. The Tele-elmarit 90mm f2.8 is a really good match.
Can't beat 90mm minolta prices though, I see them go for as low as 200 euro regularly.
If you want the flash start looking for it right away, it took me months to find one for sale.

The 90mm is nice, I have gotten some great shots with it. But it is also quite hard to use with the rangefinder, especially since I wear glasses.

As for the flash, it can be tough to find. Took me awhile to get my hands on one and the finish on it is messed up. The flash port is the same as Minolta’s other SLRs, so it can use the X-700 flashes too. I think the largest one may block the shutter button however. Avoid third party ones too, they can fry the guts.

And did you get a clean version of the 28mm? Took me forever to find one.

Probably 90% of the time I've used JapanPhoto (CEWE in Germany) for E-6, there has been some sort of fault or damage to the film. Had them dev my 4x5 Provia from Machu Picchu, and it was full of black spots in one corner of the sheet.

Using CEWE is a gamble. Antonio Stasi in Bergen does it, but is stupid expensive. 140kr per 120 roll and 70kr per 4x5 sheet (minimum 6 sheets).

Will have to do it myself, but the Tetenal E-6 kit from fotoimport.no is 1095kr + 125kr shipping. Fotoimpex.de and Macodirect.de is like 900kr including shipping and customs, but they are no longer allowed to ship chemicals by air.

Just got a roll back that was completely black, no edge markings on the sprockets at all, would that mean the camera body had a light leak and ruined the film? I don't think it was a development issue, I got another roll back from the same studio shot through a different camera that turned out fine.
The camera was an olympus XA i got for cheap in rough condition, the shutter works fine and the metering is correct, but I did have to DIY some light seals since the originals were completely gone. Did I just do a shit job or what

Film is as expensive as you make it. You can spend less than 100 per year on it including all your kit, stock and dev. Or you can spend 10,000.

The biggest thing you can do to save money is shoot conservatively. Of course if you snap away like you've got a DSLR you're going to run up your bills. But if you work off the idea that you're lucky to get 20 really good photos per year, and you should only trip that shutter when you think you've got a winner, you'll see your costs plummet even if you're shooting the most expensive format possible.

I genuinely think I spend less on 4x5 than most people here do on 35mm.

That was my thought too, I don't think even a bad leak would completely black the entire roll. I've shot a lot of different film through different cameras recently, it's possible that this one was pretty old. Although I've shot film many years expired with no major issue, maybe I forgot to set this one to overexpose when I loaded it. I'll give the camera another try with something I know is brand new. Thanks for the tips. It's a really fun camera to use and even in the condition I found it in I got it for a steal so I'm really hoping I can get it back to good working order

It wouldn't have anything to do with underexposure. But if it was a random old roll you had lying around, then yeah I'm not too surprised it cam back blank. Expired film is a crapshoot at the best of times, and if you don't know how old the roll is, what it's been used for or how it's been stored, then don't count on getting anything out of it.

Black or blank (i.e. just the translucent film base)?
Completely black, with no markings, means it was exposed to light outside the camera. As of someone pulled the film out of the canister before developing.
Completely blank, with no markings, means someone fucked up development massively, like using fixer before developer. Or far too hot temperature and then squeegeed the whole emulsion off the base.

In either case, it has nothing to do with the camera.

Nah it's not the roll either, it's the handling of the roll.
Maybe someone opened the back while rewinding, or pulled it out of the canister in broad light and then wound it back in.
No expired film, no matter how fuckold, and no amount of wrong development can result in a totally black roll with no markings.

Well in theory there are chemical foggers used for reversal processing that if used before the first developer, can do the same. But that's highly unlikely. It's far more likely someone messed with the roll, like pulling it out of the canister.

It's also possible that his lightsealing job was sub-par. Generally sealing foam goes in the crack where the back's lips fit into, and not on the back itself, so it's plausible the excess foam would've permitted the mother of all light leaks to fog the film as it was carried through the camera.

But yeah, fuckery is what it sounds like. Hafta do a pretty bad job at lightsealing to cause an entirely black roll.

This didn't happen. I'd hate to find out they fucked up the processing, it's a local place I've developed at many times before with no issue, I didn't even open the envelope to check before I left.

>>3491369
>Generally sealing foam goes in the crack where the back's lips fit into, and not on the back itself
I've seen plenty of cameras with seals just on the back door that fit into the cracks on the body. It's definitely possible I didn't do a good enough job, I'll probably bite the bullet and shoot a fresh roll and maybe develop it myself to be sure.

If a leak in the body was to blame, I would assume some small bit of the end of the roll would still be okay, since it doesn't get pulled completely out of the canister until it's developed.

I was under the impression that it's the same lens but the Minolta version is multi coated and the Elmar is single coated. But yeah I have been considering the Tele-Elmarits 2.8 but I've heard focusing at wider apertures is harder because of the smaller rangefinder base-length

I mean Fujifilm bringing back a film is always a good sign but it's not as if we're starved for great ISO100 B&W films. T-Grain films maybe a bit less so, but there's still strong offerings from Kodak and Ilford.

I guess the old Acros 100 was famous for its super low reciprocity failure, but I guess time will tell if Acros 100 II will have that as well.

Anyone have any experience flying with high ISO film? (Specifically T-Max P3200 or Delta 3200)

What are the odds that you can get airport security to hand-check your film? I never had issues with fogging with ISO 800 film, but putting ISO 3200 film through an x-ray machine seems like a bad idea.
I know they always say it's safe for up to ISO 1600, so maybe you can point out the high ISO on the film? Not sure if the average airport security clerk will give a fuck.

I guess there's always the option to buy and dev on location, but finding P3200 as well as a lab that devs b&w on quick notice in Taiwan seems like a challenge.

That's what I heard from insiders back when the Ektachrome was being hyped up. Not sure if they completely lost the formulas but I remember hearing they had to borrow color negative technology and reverse engineer it for Ektachrome or some shit like that. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012, the same year they killed off all slide film production put two and two together

>he new Ektachrome is based off colour negative technology
What you're saying doesn't make sense.
All colour film "technology" is related, because in the end you have multiple layers of B&W emulsions with incorporated dye couplers.

But slides and negatives use very different routes in terms of colour correction and unwanted dye absorption. Negatives have the masking couplers (that produce the orange mask) as the major way that filters out unwanted dye absorption (i.e. colour impurities).

Slides can't use that. So they can only exploit vertical inhibition, i.e. development of a colour in one layer inhibits development of another colour in the adjacent layer.
They have to use solely DIRs and similar interlayer and interimage effects to colour correct. Negatives use those too for enhanced sharpness or saturation, but slides *have* to use them extensively to get even close to accurate colour.

Do you have any sources that "the new Ektachrome is based off colour negative technology then reversed engineered as slide film"?
The only example I know of where a negative was very closely related to a slide, was an old agfa maskless negative film (now rollei digibase something). For this film, they used *only* vertical inhibition to colour correct without using an orange mask, i.e. as you'd do with a slide film.

How could an Ektachrome slide be based off colour negative technology? In what way specifically?

The only thing different about the new ektachrome is the substitution of some materials with more environmentally friendly ones, and of course recalibrating the chemistry to produce correct colours with those new materials.

Not really, I've had 4 passes with 3200 film (2 passes unexposed, 2 passes exposed). It was absolutely fine.

They won't. If you insist, the bored clerk will call the even more bored shift manager who will take a glance and say "it has to go through the machine, the machine is rated safe for all films".

Maybe in US you'll have better luck but in Europe I haven't see a single country/airport that would even entertain the idea.

I've never been to the US, but all my european flight experiences have been pretty lax. Would be surprised if they wouldn't just comply.
I remember once flying out of Greece, the metal detectors beeped as I walked through. The guard, sitting on a chair, pointed at me and asked "Belt?". I lifted up my shirt, and that was that. No further checks. He never even stood up.

Have done it. Usually I find if I have an old camera around my neck they will be a little more inclined to do it. I don't trust airport scanners at all with anything above 800 ISO. Most of the time they just wave it by but sometimes they actually perform a hand check.

I did have one hilarious incident years ago where TSA was being a bunch of jerks to me and other passengers for whatever reason so I called a supervisor out to hand-check 100 rolls of film because I felt like being an asshole back to them. I made up some elaborate bullshit story about how it was a special type of film that cannot be ran through a scanner and I had pictures of my late grandmother on them. They did it and opened every single canister of film and checked them. They even opened sealed in-box unexposed film and looked at it. It was all <400 ISO film lol

I’ve never managed to get my film hand checked in Europe (tried a couple of times), but always got a hand check just by asking politely when leaving Japan. I just put the film in a minigrip bag for easy checking.

Stored in a moisture proof area, no problems with aperture blades.Small dust (like the stuff every lens has, nothing noteworthy). Minor clouding on whole lens.

Then they go on to say please be aware that it is a rather old lens so deterioration is to be expected...blah blah.

Sounds okay depending upon the clouding. Either way it is worth a shot. The terrible spotted ones sell for about as much.

And no don’t leave it overnight in the fucking solvents! Depending on concentration, they might strip the coatings off!
This advice is for older uncoated lenses.

Did you disassemble it fully? You sure it’s not behind the element you’re trying to clean?
The worst case scenario is that it might be damage to the coatings, or (much more unlikely) the cement between cemented elements.
I haven’t disassembled a Bronica lens yet, but those have electronic connections for the shutter and aperture, there might be some cables inside, be careful not to fuck those up.

Also, try a shot or two with that lens and see how the film turns out. If it doesn’t show up, don’t sweat it.

holding the blemished glass piece against light I could see the fogging on its surface, kind of like a dirty finger has made a thin smudge

thing is I noticed the fogging some months back but didn't care much
but last week when switching from a 80 to 50 I saw the view in the finder bloom like crazy (scene was side lit low angle sun)
seems to be common with the 50 too (at least with ebay sellers from japan), half of their listings I have seen mention "cloud in rear"

They're great.
Mind you, the 670 and 690 have the exact same size, weight and lens. The only difference is the 670 has a a different mask and gearing in the film transport, in order to shoot 6x7 instead of 6x9 frames.

Personally I'd get the 6x9, since it gives a bigger negative using the same camera. But if you're certain you prefer the 4:5 ratio of 6x7 frames, the 670 will give you 2 extra frames.

Trying to shoot more 100 speed, I bulkrolled some APX 100 (expired in '14, kept in fridge since '15) and found that Rodinal 1+24 doesn't develop it to full weight. Guess I'll try HC-110(B) next, but I'm running out of that golden stuff already again.

Heh.
Kentmere here (Netherlands) is available only under the Agfa APX brand and idiots pay 10€/roll for it. It's the most expensive B&W film you can buy in the big stores (like camerexpress), tying with Delta 3200.
And actually more expensive that TriX/HP5+ (8€), TMax/Delta (9€) or FP4+ (7€).

Ever worry what brexit would do to availability of Ilford's stuff, and Harman-produced things in general, in the rest of Yurp? I'd be mightily pissed if Delta 400 cost 9€ apiece with a 3€ tariff, or the same for Ilford's papers, Multigrade dev, or rapid fix. I mean there's Foma and Rollei and Tetenal and Adox and whom-not, but that's not the same is it.

Just came back from a ratty camera shop, and the japanese owner doesn't seem to be aware of the hipster factor surrounding film right now. I'm still learning, so he gave me a roll of expired 35mm film for free and pointed to a full bag of what I believe to be medium format films, also expired, saying something like "wasted money... they are 6 by 6, I used to shoot marriages with those".
Considering his attitude towards expired films, would it be worth it to buy a medium format camera and try to use the expired bag for cheap?

Man that would sting. Ilford easily has the greatest selection of papers (rc+fibre, different finishes, special shit like warmtone, direct positive, etc.). And actually their B&W film selection is the biggest of any company, still the only ones doing traditional grain ISO50 (PanF+) and ISO125 (FP4+).
Lastly, they make one of my favourite developers, Perceptol, for which again there's not a single alternative since Kodak dropped Microdol X. Simple as fuck developer, only metol based, but everyone keeps rehashing 10 versions of the same old phenidone/hydroquinone/ascorboc acid stuff, which look very similar compared to something like Perceptol.

In the UK Ilford prices were pretty good, you could get HP5+ for a fiver, and same more or less (±1£) for everything except Delta3200 and SFX.

Yeah. The rest of the photochemical goods industry in Europe seems to exist as a complement to Ilford's offerings. Fucking single market and becoming mutually dependent over the decades. Guess we'd find out right quick which films are made in the UK tariff area though, finally putting to bed speculations about whether RPX 400 is one of Harman's or not.

I used to shoot it a bit, not really a fan to be honest. Only an option for me if i have to use lab processing. It is not the same as traditional B&W at all while you can look up the sensitivity curves and density curves printing it is not the same though way easier if you are looking to print on B&W paper later as it doesn't have the orange mask of CN400 <discontinued>.

As to colour filters it still has an effect but you will have to experiment a bit but the simple process of using red filters to help your sky still works.

Thinking of selling off a few compacts I don’t really use anymore, and maybe replacing them with something a bit more premium. What are the best ones to look out for other than the Contax T2/T3, which are in insane price ranges already. Nikon Ti’s, Yashica T4/T5, Fuji Klasse? I’m fine with either 28mm or 35mm. Would like some amount of manual functionality like at least infinity focus, some amount of exposure comp and preferably something known to be reliable/repairable (which mostly counts out the film GR).

Can anyone please help me to find a compact camera that I will be happy with? I am wasting far too much of my time googling around and looking up reviews when I should be working.

I'd like a 90's/2000's film compact which costs about 100-150 euro, I am in the process of selling my Contax RTS system because I feel like it kind of got me sidetracked from my original desire when shooting film (to have something much smaller than my 5DII to take around with me and have fun with, but which can still take a good picture in most circumstances, including dim light)

The Contax TVS is basically almost exactly what I want but every single example is living on borrowed time due to the lens cable problem they have, and they're a tad outside my price range. A nice 28mm / 3.5 wide angle to take shots while walking around in low light in the evening, but also 56mm / 6.5 to take moderately good portraits or photograph scenes from a distance in ok light. My MJU II 115 strugles on the other side of 50mm unless it is a completely clear day, and the 38mm wide angle is hardly a wide angle at all.

Oh, and the ability to double expose would be nice. Generally important is not terrible viewfinder, not terrible shutter lag .etc. I'm going to be putting Gold 200 through the camera most of the time, since it's very cheap where I live, but I also want it to be sharp enough that it's worth putting Pan F or Ektar through for special occasions.

I would get a dual focal length camera, but almost all advice online seems to say it's a bad idea because the quality is invariably crap.

Is there anything I'm missing /fgt/? Anything you particularly recommend as being markedly better than the alternatives and within my price range? Anything I should absolutely avoid from my shortlist? Should I just suck it up and get a QL17?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Espio 24EW is like the 120SW, but has an EC function and the zoom goes down to 24mm which should be quite nice. I've got a 120SW and it's definitely a premium compact, but don't pay over 30€ for it. Eats a CR2 cell per 4 rolls though, so that's like an euro per roll for batteries unless you get them in bulk.

My other compact love affair is to an Agfa 1035 which has a terrific lens, a seemingly perpetual battery life, and enough german steel to survive falling out of a pocket onto asphalt while bicycling. Don't pay more than 30€ for this one either, zone focus is for hipsters. 49mm filter thread, takes a china hood like a charm.

All of these are prone to getting meme prices at some point. Look at local for-sale ads and pick out one that looks nice and has good reviews, and doesn't cost over 30€.

Yeah I always wanted the Agfa 1535. I missed it multiple times on ebay, then I realised it was fully automatic, and the size of it is kind of unwieldy. I already checked out the Espio 24EW but it's preetttyy dim and I have serious doubts about a 5x lens with only 7 elements.

As I stated the only film I can get cheaply is 200 iso so I can't live the tiny point & shoot + high iso dream.

I kind of think I know which one I want but first I have to sell my RTS, and thereafter I have to convince the guy listing it to lower his price a bit. I finally found flickr samples of the tiara zoom and its sharpness is stunning, it seemingly has very little distortion too.

Yeah, 5.6-12.8 is quite slow indeed. Adequate at the wide end, gets to around f/8 at 50mm, and from then on it's flash or sunny days only. Those cameras are really for the wide-angle stuff and then zooming in a pinch.

I also thought the 1035 was a bit boxy and a bit large, until I shot two funerals with it in March this year. HP5+ at 400 ISO. Missed focus a couple of times shooting up close without a flash, which is uncanny for a zone-focusing camera. Ordinarily I'd shoot funerals with a Leica, but the difference here was that I was carrying the casket and couldn't have a kilogram of kraut on my shoulder while also getting great "somber-looking people as though someone had died" shots of opportunity.

My tip is, if you're willing to go full auto (except focus), go for the 535. It has the same great lens, same form-factor, same german magic innards, but top speed is just 1/500. 1535 is for people who don't trust guestimation, or "composition focus", but the camera doesn't really ask for any of that. But don't pay more than 30€ for a compact unless it's bathed in unicorn wee at the factory or something.

This.

If the compact is any good, it isn’t repairable. They all have unique electronics that aren’t source-able.

Smallest camera that I can thing of that is easily repairable is the Leica/Minolta CL. Not really pocketable (unless you go with one of those M.S. Optic’s pancake primes), and it lacks a lot of stuff that makes compacts nice (motor drive, autoexposure, autofocus, etc.)

If you really want something premium (i.e. you want to spend a bit of cash) but reliable go for the Minolta CLE. It's as small as your typical compact if you put a pancake lens on it, it has aperture priority and all the manual settings you want, and you can even interchange the lenses / share them with a digital system.

Less premium? There are 28 and 35mm compacts with infinity focus and exposure comp/manual iso, but they often have a minimum aperture of 3.5. The Nikon l35AF springs to mind as a not too expensive, very high performance 35mm f/2.8 camera.

Techpan was an excellent astrophotography film during its time so maybe you should shoot some star trails with it. Though you'd have to go really far to avoid light pollution fogging and probably would have to compensate a lot more for reciprocity failure because it is not gas-hypered.

I developed and scanned these photos in a few days ago and just noticed these ugly shadow blocks in the trees in the mid-ground. Do you think this is a developing error or a scanning error? I was using a red filter if that makes any difference.

This is often due to the scanning software's dust removal (ICE). It doesn't work so well on black and white.

Digital ICE artifacts. You cannot use that mode with silver-containing emulsions, that is all black and white films besides XP2 (which is actually a neutered C-41 color negative film).

The reason for this is because ICE works by scanning through the film with an infrared lamp. Because dust reflects IR, this allows the scanner to figure out the precise location of dust particles and apply dust removal at those exact spots. However, this ONLY works with C-41 color negative and E-6 reversal films because they do not contain any silver particles as their images are formed entirely by color dyes which IR can pass through. In black and white film, the image is formed by metallic silver particles, which also reflect IR light. So the ICE goes haywire because in the IR scan the film shows up as nothing but dust particles.

As I said, I’ve shot some Zeniths, they were all ass. Heavy, bad finder coverage, film advance that would tear the film etc. The RF’s and fixed lens cameras I’ve tried were much better.

I own a Kiev 6C which is an slr that I also like, but it’s MF. Can’t remember if they did any 35mm slrs.

Zorki (the first, without a number), Fed 2, and any rangefinder without a slow-speed mechanism. It's not that these work particularly well, but that ones with the latter are guaranteed to have extremely fiddly shutter speed selectors with a lot of play. When you do find one that works, it'll generally be either a Zorki or a Fed 2.

Soviet 35mm SLRs are uniformly dogshit. The best mass-produced east-bloc SLRs were Prakticas, from East Germany. Never touch a Horizont, or a Leningrad, or a Kiev 80 or 88. Some say the Voskhod is worth looking up if you can stomach guess focusing a 45mm triplet (i.e. Smena, but bigger) lens.

What're your thoughts on replenishing developers, /fgt/? In particular, how do replenishment regimes even work? How much virgin Xtol am I supposed to add to my bottle of reused stock-strength working developer per roll?

I'm considering trying to cheap out on developer this summer & spend the difference on Delta 100 while staying in budget, and 5 one-liter packs of Excel would go almost as far as HC-110(B) if adding e.g. 100ml fresh per roll (discarding old developer to fit) to the first litre were feasible. That'd be 40 rolls in Excel in ten-roll increments from powder no less.

70ml/roll, per Kodak’s recommendations.
Kodak has extremely detailed spec sheets for their developers, so it’s worth downloading XTol’s one and taking a look.

Savings are not big unless you’re using huge tanks or going through insane volumes.
At 1+1, you need 150ml of xtol per roll. At 1+2 you need just 100ml. So yeah you save 30ml of xtol per roll. At 150 films you will have saved almost 5L, i.e. ~12$ that a packet of XTol costs.

Compared to 300ml/roll at stock, which is the recipe for replenished xtol, I'd be saving 230ml/roll which is over triple your figure. Yours is of course true if I only develop at 1+2, and uses fresh developer always, but I'm gonna shoot more than just Delta 100.

Yeah but who does stock xtol one shot?
Plus replenished works more like diluted in terms of speed/shadow detail and grain, rather than stock.

Anyway, I don't use replenished developers cause I prefer the reliability and certainty of one-shot when it comes to times and contrast.
Most of my stuff I do at 1+1 because it's a good compromise of speed, grain and dev times, and I'd go through 33rolls, approximately 200€ in film, before I finish a 14€ pack of Xtol.

I spend 5 euro per roll for Gold 200 + Dev, (14 cents per frame) and do B&W with 1+50 or 1+100 rodinal while reusing fixer. A moderately good negative scanner from 2004 cost me 100 euro. (Sensible) film cameras can range from 5-500 euro, if you want something expensive that's your fault. It's perfectly possible to shoot film without breaking the bank - it just won't necessarily be that you're holding a T4 in your hand with Ektachrome in it. At a roll and a half a week, shooting film costs me less than a haircut.

how do i know when a roll is done? the counter doesnt seem accurate.

the wind mechanism seemed to get quite strong/ratchety when i thought it was done so assumed it was, but it still let me crank it and take more photos.

If I continue to do this would it be taking photos on top of previously shot film, or am I just shooting blanks?

Congrats, you've pulled the film out of the cartridge through strength of obstinacy. Now you should bring your camera to the lab where they'll charge you a bit extra to unload your snapshits in a darkbag; the extra cost is about the same as a roll of film, so might as well flush your first turds. Doesn't hurt to try to rewind; chances are it won't.

My counter said 24 photos, but it let me keep winding and taking pictures, though the wind was stiffer and a bit cranky.

I assumed it was done at that point and rewound it all fine. When you finish a roll will it let you continue doing that forever, and are you just exposing the last frame over and over?

No, it shouldn't. I shot Pentax ME Super cameras. When you reach the end of the roll, the advance lever would just not move forward anymore. it will stop at whichever point the film no longer can be pulled out of the cartridge.
that is unless you release the film spool with the button underneath the camera, in which case you would be able to cock the shutter and shoot a single time (most likely overlapping the last frame). but after that the advance would be locked again as it'd be trying to pull film again, and the only way to cock it again is to release the spool once again with the button on the base.
you sure your roll was 24 exposures and not 36 exp? because if you didn't rip the film off, then there's something wrong with the camera itself. the pentax ME Super has issues with a particular bushing in the mirror assemgly failing and causing winding issues. one of my ME Supers failed and let me keep winding the film without having to trigger the shutter, or would just advance the film but not cock the shutter. a service and a new bushing sorted it out.

Pushing slide film one stop is fine.

But I would start at box speed on my first attempt.

i think there's this notion among most newbies that if you follow some elusive recipes, like overexposing, pushing, using specific film stock, using grossly expired film, your photos will come out all wow and shit
i was guilty of it too, buying and pushing cinestill

It’s pretty wild how completely 2+ stops overexposed Portra 400 and Cinestill have taken over much of the film shooting content out there

Honestly I wanted to push just because I wanted to do some night shots without a tripod, since Provia's box speed is pretty low. Still, thank you for the input, will shoot at box speed definitely

Why do I feel like the grain with Hp5 gets all mushy when developing with Xtol (1:1)? I like how I get more detail in the shadows especially when pushing, but the ”bland” look is a turnoff, so I’m still sticking to Hc110 and buying 1L bags of Excel when I need it for T-grain films. But it would be so easy to go one developer only...
