For a Nikon F2 should I go for nikkor sc 50mm f1.4 or nikkor hc f2 50mm? Bit non-so as I understand.

I’m new to film, I like low light photography so 1.4 seems obvious but I’ve heard that the 2 has a better image?

And the 1.4 is more expensive obviously.

Anyone experience small blotches in negs when using Foma Excel at 1:1 dilution? I just got them in some Foma 200 I developed, seems they’re concentrated in the last frames mostly and they kind of look like sensor dust, and are most clear in the sky. Don’t have an example to post since I’m on my phone. The developer was expired by about a month, but freshly mixed, and the negs seem fine otherwise. I’ve never had this happen with XTOL.

Thinking it could be air bubbles? I only used the agitation stick to agitate, but I do that always anyway (since Paterson lids tend to leak) and never have issues. What?

Usually, every additional stop in regards to speed goes along with flaws in regards to other lens qualities. Either, lens design is adjusted and flaws are corrected (as good as possible), or the flaws are visible in the photos. The latter is clearly the cheaper way.
My advice is to look for photos shot with these lenses wide open and see which results you prefer. Then decide if you really need the additional stop.

Well with my DSLR I have the standard 1.8G 50mm

I like taking photos during the evening, indoors as well. Generally low-light.

On my Yashica FX-7 I have, what I assume is the stock lens. an ML 50mm 1:2 which can go to f2 and I often feel like I'd like to be able to get more light in.

Do you know of a site that has comparison photos between the 2 lenses I'm looking at? I tried googling but can't find anything. I'd liek to see how much worse the photo is and how different the bokeh is (that's what I've heard is the difference)

Recently put my first roll through a Minolta x-370 had pictures of my now deceased dog on it but the film came out like what is seen in the picture. Will post scans later but I’m not sure what the problem is. Was it me as I’m kinda new to film, my camera, or the place I got my scans done at. Sorry for the photo quality just took it in the car and am kinda pissed that I just payed 15 dollars to get nothing back

that seems like shutter issues, like the curtain is getting stuck halfway. open the camera back (with no film) and do test shots on all speeds, especially the slow ones and B, to check how the shutter is behaving.
I have a minolta XG-M in which the 2nd curtain would open just half way. had to send it to service to get both curtains reset to the proper positions.
look for the minolta x-300 x-370 service manual pdf on google. the procedure is on pages 33-34.

Bye bye shutter, search for the service manual anon mentioned and give a try at fixing it, otherwise look for another camera.
I bet you can get another x-370 with a different lens than the one you already have for cheap, then you'd have two lenses.

no problem m8. yep, shutter position is completely off. at higher speeds (past the red 60, which is x-sync speed) the shutter actually only opens a slit, decreasing in size the faster speed. if the curtains are off the slit won't be synchronized, resulting in no exposure at all.
it might be caused by faulty curtain tension springs, bent shutter tracks or, in my case, sand in the tracks dragging the curtains. resetting them is a bit complicated, you have to tear the camera down quite deep to reach the mirror box/shutter assembly and do the adjustment.
being real, the minolta x-300/370 is an awesome camera (it was my first ever camera 20 years ago and I love it) but it also goes for real cheap nowadays so it might not be worth it sending it to service if for the same money or less you can get another fully functioning one.

I recommend you to check all shutter speeds and shutter behavior everytime you get a new camera before loading a roll on it.

depends on the finder. the nikon F2 is pre-Ai so standard finders are not Ai compatible. Only the A and AS finders are compatible with the Ai lens ridge. otherwise you need the bunny ears prong to be able to use it with pre-Ai finders, and the series E nikon lenses don't have it.
I mean, the series E lens will mount and will be usable, but it won't be coupled to the finder exposure meter.
if you get an F2AS then yea, the series E 50mm will fully work, including exposure meter.

I've never shot the 100 speed, but from what I've seen they're pretty similar. The 100 wins on technical specs, but they have different color. For me, the slower speed is worth it.

Velvia 50 adds warmth to the colors, yellows shift towards orange, orange towards amber, etc., while Velvia 100 has more accurate color. 50 can make sunsets and golden hour look much better. The added red also makes 50 worse for people photos, everyone looks sort of sunburnt. You can get a slight magenta tint on blue skies, I really like this but you might not.

50 also has much worse reciprocity for long exposures. Longer than only a couple of seconds you'll need to adjust your exposure time, and you'll also get a green color shift. Night shots usually have artificial light with wacky colors so I don't mind.

X-370/300 are japan made. maybe there were some made by seagull at the tail end of production but I've never seen one.
the latter X-300s/X-370n can be japan (rare), malaysia or china made.
X-7a is an X-300/370 in all black always, whereas the latter is rare in all black.
regardless of where they were made, all are pretty decent cameras. I actually like the X-300s better as it has the tiny aperture window in the viewfinder.

>>3501185
oh man, I know! I once tore down an X-300s with dirty magnets and it was a pain all the way throught. flex boards are brittle as fuck and has like a thousand wires all over.
right now I have an X-370 on the workbench with a short in the aperture magnet. have to check it out but I just keep putting it off forever

it's actually a rebadge of the minolta X-370s, which is seagull made. The X-300/370 from the mid '80s is the base from which all these cameras came from, but it is always Japan made. If it's branded minolta and has an 'n' or 's' suffix, then it's seagull made, though the very early ones are Japan made. all of them have the same exact features and controls.

For the first image examples I think the no filter looks the most natural and is overall more appealing too look at. (You could argue that the tiffen 812 filters gives off a more subtle late afternoon feel)
I don't like any of the examples of the second picture, I think Velvia 50 isn't a good film to use in already saturated scenes. It strive in making flatter scene look more punchy.
All and all warming filters aren't a good idea with Velvia would be interesting with a cooling filter

Thanks anon, that’s really useful.
Having side by sides of identical frames is worth much more than just words and descriptions of what filters do.

I think when there are neutral tones in shade, they turn blueish so a light warming filter works great to neutralise that. Like the asphalt in your picture, if you compare no filter and the Hoya.

Any recommendations on an SLR that is/has:

Mechanical shutter
Full manual mode
LED light meter (that uses common batteries)
Reliable
Black
Compact (at least not fuckhuge)
Not too expensive or hard to find

Basically I want my Bessa R2, but in SLR format... does she even exist?

Slides generally have a pretty low latitude, so its not a good idea to shoot it at times where a high dynamic range is needed, like your shot here. I usually will only shoot slides on cloudy days with lots of overcast personally. Pic related.

Go with a Minolta a7. A little pricey, but it was a professional film camera made by the same camera division that made the a7. Controls and general feel of the camera are very similar.

Oh, and if you have any a-mount lenses, even modern ones, they will work great with the a7.

I would agree that no filter looks the best and it's what I normally use, but I made this for comparison. Using a filter might make things look better in bad lighting, but that's not what I normally shoot. Both of these >>3500906 >>3501155 were no filter.
I've only used a cooling filter once, to try and trim out some slightly warm artificial lighting. It worked, but left an ugly green cast. In the future I would use no filter and correct it in editing.

>>3501304
I was tired of seeing a bunch of text but nobody actually doing side-by-side comparisons, so I just went out and spent a roll on this. In any case you shouldn't just take my word for it, experiment yourself and see what you like best on the light table.

Got a nice darkroom set up in a storage room in my apartment block that is tied to the lease of my apartment. This is a photo when I just set it up, but since then I've put two desks in to seperate the wet and dry areas. Also spent a good bit of time completely sealing all the cracks around the door, window and wall to ensure it is 100% light tight, meaning I no longer need to use a darkbag to develop film (even during the day). Makes dev a lot easier and a lot quicker

Have been taking friends through and showing them how to print and develop, it's a lot of fun seeing how excited people get by it all.

On a side note, that safelight is very close to your work area, is it safe? I've always kept mine at least 3-4 feet away from the enlarger and work area

I was being reductive for the sake of getting the point across. I usually wash prints for like 15 seconds after the stop bath and then 3-5 minutes after fixer. I always learned with running water, though my mentor used FB paper and I only use RC so I'm not sure how important the running water is in my case. That said, my final tray after the wash is water with fotoflo in it, makes it dry quicker

I was reading the ilford article about it and was just watching the linked video and the guy is just using 3 trays, and then right after it ends I read your comment about 3 trays. it got me wondering if it can be done that way as the few times I've printed at my college's darkroom it had a 5 tray setup.

The only real reason to use more than 3 trays is for chemical conservation and to ensure each chemical step happens effectively. Obviously cross contamination is an issue, so you can prevent it by first washing off the previous chemical. No point to do it before the stop bath, as the chemical is designed to kill the developer.

For a home darkroom though, three trays is fine. Chemicals are dirt cheap, and the chemical life indicated on the bottle accounts for a little bit of cross contamination anyway.

Re. the fotoflo, definitely use it! That's literally what it's meant for, and is really useful if your water is hard as it'll effectively prevent waterspots

Split grade printing is a great technique and hard to master, but it's a great trick to have up your sleeve. I tend to make a straight print at a suitable contrast grade, and then do a split grade and decide which I like better.

Darkroom work is fun. I much prefer it to scanning, you can spend 3-4 printing and you barely realise it, while 1:30 hours scanning feels like ages.
Plus, working alone in the dark with a deep red light, maybe some music on, is soothing.

Now that I moved I don’t have a darkroom and I miss it.

Thanks, there are some clouds, but on that particular print I didn't burn in the sky enough.

Black borders were done with a mask and a 60s exposure of white light from the enlarger. The enlarger takes longer but casts a sharp shadow. I've tried turning on the room light which works well, but the light bends around the mask and creates softer edges.

>>3501549
>>3501552
I used a combination of split grade and an grade 2 for the base exposure. Some areas needed more density with less exposure so burned in with grade 1. Some areas needed more contrast but without added density so I did some dodging on the base exposure and then burned in with grade 5.

I’m considering getting back into large format. But I’m torn between going for a 4x5 or an 8x10. Lens selection for 4x5 is much bigger with cheaper optics, but 8x10 is vastly superior in terms of resolution. I will only be shooting landscapes. I have decided to go for an intrepid, as I don’t want to use too much money. It will be reserved for “special” occasions. I will shoot slides and colour negs. My main camera will still be my D850. I will digitise with the d850 or get a flatbed.

Cool man, it will cool to see some pics of the current setup.

As for the safelight, that's only there to fill the main room. Papersafe is at the other end of the room and main work area is in the adjacent bathroom which uses a 902 bounced off the wall. I do safelight checks and have been satisfied, considering there is a lot of ambient light making it's way though my curtains. Though I only print at night so it all works out.

Sell it on ebay for like $15 a roll. It can't be properly developed anymore as it needs special chemistry and special equipment, all of which have been discontinued and decommissioned for almost a decade now.
Hipsters like to fuck around with processing it as black and white and crossprocessing it in homemade chemicals, but if you want b&w just shoot a b&w film, and it you want fucked up "artistic" colors and random casts you can just shoot some e100 and process it in c41 chemistry, or buy expired film and shoot it with a fungus'd helios on a camera with damaged light seals.

I do B&W myself, C-41 and E-6 are too much a hassle so I have a lab deal with them. I scan everything myself, 35mm with a Plustek and 120 with Epson V550. I'm rather fed up with the latter so I'm thinking of investing in a Reflecta 120 scanner soon.

How expensive is it really to shoot on film? Is it really such a large running cost to develop, scan, and print as some people say?

shooting film is expensive if you go the DIY route.
my short term goal was to be able to shoot, develop and scan B&W and color negative 35mm film at home. net cost has been roughly the same I paid for a brand new nikon d3400 dslr (when it was first released) with 2 kit lenses plus a 35mm prime. it'll keep going up with film and chemicals costs.
don't see myself going to 120 film anytime soon. that'd get quite expensive.

1-time developing supply purchases (so excluding chemicals) are ~$100 for bw with another $50 added for a sous vide if you want to dev color.

For quality scans you're looking at spending at least $300 for a dedicated film scanner or a macro lens + film holder for dslr scanning. don't even bother with flatbeds

Nah it’s quite reasonable. You can get dev + good scans for like 15, 20$ at most. And another 7$ for the film. Say 25$ total.
So 50-75$ per month with no hassle at all, and good quality scans. That’s a very reasonable price for a hobby. People pay more than that to do a sport, or a gym subscription etc etc.

The “good” (or bad) thing with film is, costs depend on use. You don’t use it for sometime, there’s no cost or depreciation of your gear.
You decide to shoot just a little bit? You shoot a roll.
The objectively good thing is the very low barrier to entry. With 50$ for an SLR and 20$ for film + dev + scans, you can go from zero to having 36 “full frame” photos and the ability to experiment with any photographic effects (bokeh, motion blur, long exposures, etc etc.).
Also lenses are much cheaper for manual focus ones, so you get to try different focal lengths.

If you shoot a lot, you’re looking realistically at 250-300$ for a dedicated scanner, around 50$ for dev tank + changing bags + thermometer + a beaker or two, say another 20-25$ for chemicals that will last you for more than 40 rolls, and you’re set.
Then your costs are just the actual rolls of film, anythiung between 3-8$, usually closer to 5-6$ for most films from the main brands.

Used over a year old tetenal E6 kit. I made a solution from it two months ago and today I saw the blix was ruined. Made new blix from what I had leftover in the kit and it worked fine. Roll developed just fine.
Amazing how strong most of this stuff is, the first dev and colour dev both look really nice still.

Now it's time to sell my RZ67 since I need the money sadly.

I'm looking into buying a mint body for $25 because the seller says the self timer is bad as it "works as bulb". I'm thinking maybe it's like the Nikon FE, that flips the mirror up before the exposure to avoid mirror shake and he's mistaking it as a malfunction.

the minolta XG-M is small and light and the MD28/2.8 is fantastic for wide outdoor shots. however, I'd keep it away from sandy environments. Mine had a shutter jam, due to sandy dust somehow getting on the shutter tracks and everywhere else, after taking it to a desert trip. had it around my neck the whole time though. I'd take the sturdier Canon EOS for such environments.

sounds like it's gonna be one hell of a road trip. have fun anon.

Too many different types of film and 1 too many 35mm SLRS. Just take the T4 and 7 for yourself and have yer lady take whatever SLR for herself.

Just stick to 1 BW film...doesn't matter what.

Pick between Portra 160 and 400. Taking both will probably result in you feeling like you always have the wrong one loaded. Id probably take P160 in 135 and P400 in 120 since the 7's lenses are slow.

Take more slide film.

Ok, so been shooting 35mm Foma 200 now for a bit to test if it’d work as my choice for cheap bw stock, with Hp5 getting too expensive for mindless daily snapshitting. So far, I like it but I’m not sure if it suits my style. It’s very different than the usual 400 speed stuff contrastwise (lots of range in the grays, not very punchy), but the shadows/blacks just suddenly drop out which is kinda disappointing.

Seems to be nice developed in Excel/Xtol 1:1, but nothing special and slightly grainier in HC110. Need to try pushing it to 400 and 800 to see if the contrast would be more to my liking.

Also one other minus is that the emulsion seems to get scrathes and other damage really easily. Dries totally flat though.

Don’t think so mate.
The upper frame has lots of shadows. Shadows go blue in general (they *are* blueish anyway due to how light scattering works) and much more so with slides. The tint of the road is where it’s most visible.

The only time I think of warming filters is with slides when I have lots of shadows in the frame; which if unfiltered gives an almost splitoned look.

And then here's the picture with the 81B filter. I'm still not exactly sure which one I like more. The warming filter clearly has an effect on the water and the rocks, but might have warmed up the greens too much. As a result there's a bit less contrast between the stream and the forest. A warming filter probably wasn't too necessary to begin with, especially since this is already a color negative film, but I thought it'd be cool to see what effect it has.

the Pentax MX is an awesome camera, really compact, all mechanical, all manual. I don't think I'd pay $150 for one, but if you want the peace of mind of having a guaranteed working camera recently out of service then it seems ok-ish of a deal. just hope it comes with at least the SMC-M 50mm f1.7 lens and not the more common f2 lens.

Film EOS are real great cameras, from the bottom budget ones all the way to the top. best thing is that hipsters don't care about them and prices are always good.

>>3502251
around $100 will get you one nowadays but with the standard 1.8 lens. the FD 50/1.4 lens is fukkin' awesome. it goes for like $45 to 50 on it's own. IMHO it's a must have if you own an FD canon.

>>3502254
canon A series are more unrealiable than the T70 nowadays, with them having the infamous squeal and the mirror falling off it not taken care of.
T70 has a motor film advance. with 20+ years the motor might fail and leave it unusable, but in reality I've never seen it happen. I've got an T50 and a T70 for free as junk, both with awful bad battery leakage and no battery cover. directly wired in a power source and they came back to life perfectly, with working motors and everything.

I would totally agree that this was the wrong time to shoot these. I would have normally shot these with no filter. But it's pointless to go out and shoot photos in bad lighting, so you have photos in good lighting with unnecessary filters. I haven't got my digitizing process quite dialed in yet, so these also have a bit of a magenta cast even though I calibrated the WB to my light pad (anyone else had this problem?).
Plenty of folks online have posted what they think about these filters, but I haven't seen any side-by-side shots of the same subject. It's more about the difference between the shots than the actual picture itself.

>>3502239
I think I like the one without the filter the best, the warming filter seems to suck color out of the shadows. How are you controlling the negative inversion process, home scanning? Otherwise the scanning would probably negate the effects of the filter.

Motor drive failure is commonly due to nylon gears. Those have a tendency to become brittle and then break at some relatively consistent number of years since manufacture. This especially typical of 70s-80s motor drives, which tend to be overpowered for their application and therefore prone to breaking gears as soon as they get a little bit fucky.

Also seen on plastic Minoltas without motor drives, and the Nikon F2's motor drive (which is the classic example).

So the meter actually works? Never even bothered to try it on my FT, I just meter with my phone.

I shoot half frame quite a lot, my main hf cameras being a Pen FV (broken at the moment) and a Pen FT with the 38mm f1.8 and 20mm f3.5. I also have a bunch of others like a Konica AA35 and a Yashica Samurai. I like the 4:3 aspect ratio and the increased depth of field. Occasionally it's annoying to load something like a slower slide film, since due to the amount of exposures you'll be locked in for a long time, and probably won't be able to shoot with the camera at all while the weather conditions aren't suitable. I've also shot a few rolls of expired slide which had gone bad, and the results were unusable due to color shift. It's annoying when you get ~36 exposures like that, but ~80 ruined exposures is a bit more disappointing.

Scanning can be a bit of an issue, I only have a V600 which isn't great for 35mm, so it's even worse for half frame. Printing in the darkroom I get far better and sharper results. I should probably invest in a ~35mm enlarger lens for half frame whenever I get my home darkroom up and running.

Oh yeah, one more thing - these cameras can apparently be quite frail, and they're not easy to get fixed as they are quite complex. My FV for example just broke during normal usage while I was traveling, the film advance just stopped working halfway through a roll.

i bought myself a scanner because i was dissapointed with the digitized versions of my film - both labs gave me images with a resolution of ~1400*1200 AND a filesize of >1MB

So far i love doing this myself - as i have total control except for the developing!

Here is a Gold 200 sample at 3200 DPI. I shoot almost entirely with Gold 200 because it is by far the cheapest film you can get where I live.

Positives:
• pleasant colour rendition
• cheap
• contrast is just about right
• no strong colour cast
Negatives:
• soft
• noisy
• scanning beyond 1600 DPI doesn't really win much extra detail

It's a film that's generally most appropriate for users of SLRs with a fast 50mm prime in order to feed it with lots of light. It's only good in compacts with slow (or zoom) lenses in strong daylight. It trounces C200 and Colorplus by being significantly better on all fronts (colour cast, contrast, and resolution) but is not as good as Superia.

If you have the choice (which I do not), you should generally buy something better unless Gold 200 is really cheap in comparison, or you like the aesthetic.

I'm really familiar with these ones.
x370 is lighter, srt101 more reliable but heavy as a tank
x370 has aperture priority and manual, srt101 is fully manual
x370 has LED light meter, srt101 has match-needle meter
x370 uses regular batteries and meter is spot on, srt101 uses a 1.35v mercury battery no longer manufactured, alternative is a zinc-air 1.4v cell and the meter is off by a little (you get used to it after a few rolls)
x370 has electronic shutter, so it's quite precise, srt101 is all mechanical so it might need maintenance to get it back in proper timings after all these years
x370 has split prism+microprisms band for focusing, srt101 only microprisms band, although I find it easier and quicker to focus with it as the center split-prism can get a bit distracting. for shooting wide open/narrow DoF the split-prism is safer to nail proper focus.
both can mount the same exact lenses.

I love both cameras and use them frequently. they have their own charm. only reason I lean more towards the x370 is because it's lighter and more comfortable to carry and shoot.

there are actually two versions of the srt201. the 2nd version does have a better focusing screen with split-image prism center, but has an, arguably "downgraded", single cell metering system, rather than the multi-cell averaging meter of the earlier ones. it's easily identifiable because it lacks the CLC badge on the front, over the lens, and has a black plastic meter coupling ring around the mount instead of shiny metal. nevertheless it's still a pretty good camera. some people like the meter best on these later SRT cameras because it feels more like center-weighted like on other camera brands.

while you're there you can also carefully clean the prism and focus screen off all the gunk from the old foam around.

Even consistently shooting 3 35mm rolls/week all year round, it takes 5-6 years to hit 30,000.
Most non pro film cameras don’t have such shutter counts even after 30-40 years of service.

I shot a few more pictures today on velvia 50 to compare warming filter effects, on a more overcast day. Hopefully I can share them soon if I can get it to a lab soon.

If you mean the Smena, go ahead but don't pay more than $10 for one. Also only in the case you enjoy having a horrible time loading film. That said it is probably the most reliable Soviet camera ever made and about the only one of them a newbie should even consider. Never consider Zorki/Fed/Zenit until you know what you're doing.

Grab some cheap decent amateur SLR like Minolta XG-1 (or XG-9 if you're willing to spend a bit more) that lacks the hipster cred. You can also get Ricoh and Konica SLRs for dirt cheap.

Right, even somewhat casual hobby use for 5-6 years lets you hit 30k.

In fact you only shooting 3 rolls a week is probably mostly a financial or time issue if you actually go out with your camera and shoot. If this constraint wasn't there, you'd shoot more even as a hobbyist.

Depends on the person anon. I mean, I have my phone on me. And also an x100 on a loan from a friend. I don’t shoot appreciably more with either. Maybe I’ll bracket some shots cause why not while on film I’d me more careful and take a single exposure, but that’s about it.
Maybe depends what you started on and formed your habits.

For instance, sometimes after shooting medium format for a couple days, a 35mm roll feels too long.

Anyway, the cost of film is not the main issue. A good film is 7-8$, and if it takes you just 1 hour to scan it, even at minimum wage, you “exceeded” the cost of film. But it’s a hobby so you I don’t count my time as an expense.
Aso paper. Even if you print a quarter of your shots, you paper costs will probably surpass your film costs.

So when you say 30,000 shots, my mind goes to the fucklot of time it would take me to develop, scan and print those. That’s why I find it unrealistic. And printing digitally on good paper and inks isn’t any cheaper.

I don’t think I’m alone on that. Even pro film cameras didn’t get these many clicks in their whole lives, let alone a hobbyist doing it in 5-6 years.

Hello my dudes,

I recently broke my Olympus Mju ii and I can't bring myself to pay the prices they are going for now.

Can someone recommend any alternatives that won't break the bank?

Not on topic at all, but what is the appeal to point and shoots? Theres clearly a demand for them, but i dont understand why when SLR's are generally both better and cheaper. No hate or anything, do what makes you happy and inspires your creativity.

I agree with the other anon, you don't need to worry so much. And the only way to learn to expose it properly is to shoot it at all. Try to pick lower contrast scenes if you want to be sure. Overcast and such.

The prices of everything have increased ridiculously to the point that lesser known "almost as good as the big name models but without the premium" choices like the Pentax Espio Mini, Konica Big Mini or Nikon L35AF and so on are now in the ~100+ euro price bracket, so if you want something as cheap as you got your Mju II before they got expensive, you'll have to look in less conventional places.

My recommendation is the Nikon AF600 if you'd like to change things up a bit and go for a wider angle, or perhaps the Canon MC which has a 35mm f/2.8 lens like your Mju II, but is a bit less foolproof in terms of autofocus.

I'd say none of the 60's to early 70's all-electric rangefinders are good beginner cameras and certainly not worth $100. Just grab a cheap SLR to have a go at it, fixed lens cameras are something you pick when you already have a clear idea of what kind of photography you're going for.

3200 speed film doesn't age well. Rest of that stuff should be fine, you'll get some colour cast with the Provia.

I shot some freezer stored Velvia that was five years expired and no colour cast on propery exposed photos. I had to bracket though, and looking at my notes from those rolls the best slides weren't necessarily shot at settings what my incident meter was telling me.

I’d recommend you look into the 35-75 mm f/ 3.5 Macro for your Minolta too. It is one of the few film era zoom lenses that are still good by today’s standards. It was actually produced in a partnership with Leica and was released for their R-mount too.

That is kind-of my point. You already aren't doing just film and you'd naturally switch further towards digital if you shot more.

> Anyway, the cost of film is not the main issue.
And of a good scanner. You forgot that one. This is also the reason why you'd spend 1h scanning a roll of film and even time-wise not feel like doing it for 3 rolls+ each weekend.

But back when grandma didn't have a choice, she definitely easily shot that much film, mostly on trips and events. And then she made albums (also for a while, she put ~35 rolls of 35mm negatives into index albums for cut strips).

About professionals: I recall war and travel photographers mentioning they pack at least 150-200 rolls of film for 1-2 months of shooting - more if possible. Wouldn't you shoot 200 or so shots a day to try and make it worth your time? But that was in the film age, too. Now you obviously probably wouldn't bother.

Yes. It's not that expensive and the software is effective - lots of good settings that can be used to save time.

Plus unlike the anyhow very expensive Silverfast it's not tied to one damn scanner or a limited upgrade license. And it even supports Linux.

Basically it's cheap nice software, test it - you'll probably want to buy it.

Zorkis, Feds and Zenits all use the same copied Leica shutter mechanism which is delicate and does not age well when combined with Soviet sub-par materials and the quality of their lubricants, so they are very prone of shutter failures which usually happen without warning. The way to prevent this is competent CLA, but most of the Zorkis etc. on the market are not CLA'd (don't believe every seller claiming they have). Only way to make sure is to do it yourself, if you can.

I guess that's subjective to having to pay 300-500Eur to get full Silverfast (more with the extras) and then about half as much with every major release vs a not device locked lifetime license of vuescan.

Probably not among the big expenses if you maintain a full set of software. The software with frequently recurring costs or subscriptions is.

but it's not a fair comparison. I mean, most silverfast Ai studio extra features can't even be used by the 8100, let alone the older 7200. I think a more fair comparison would be with silverfast SE plus, which is around $110 and the one shipped with the plusteks.
the thing is, with the price of a brand new plustek 8100, with silverfast se plus included, being anywhere from $200 to $250 on sale (I paid $196 on amazon for mine), buying an old used 7200 for around $120 (according to ebay) and then having to pay $90 for vuescan kinda defeats the whole purpose.
granted, if you get the old plustek for around 50 bucks then it makes full sense to get vuescan rather than silverfast because fuck silverfast (although it's pretty good to quickly pump out mid-res JPEG scans with it's NegaFix and WB features).

anyway, I was looking for a software to quickly dump RAWs off the plustek 8100 to process on photoshop CC, as silverfast is a pain to use, and at seemingly $40 vuescan felt like a good option, but now seeing I have to drop an extra $50 for the pro version just to have the film support makes me think it twice. silverfast shit awful workflow doesn't look that bad now if I'm keeping $90 in my pocket.

Film EOS cameras are quite practical, but there are very few good old lenses, apart from the older L lenses which are still very expensive. The models aren't very diverse either. There's no small model with quality construction, and it took them until the end of the 90's to work out that making their lens mounts out of plastic for everything short of the advanced models was a bit too shitty. The counterpoint is that it's the only system where you can really use fun modern stuff like image stabilized high-end zooms on film, which makes it pretty cool if you're the type who really likes to invest money and plan out a shot with heavy equipment, but I'm more of a believe that film in the 21st century is for snapshitting mostly.

that's exactly why they're so great. you can pick one up with lens for $15 and go anywhere snapshitting without giving a shit about the camera getting damaged or stolen.

Both Minolta (i.e. - Sony) and Nikon have bodies that support modern lenses.

as far as I know, all canon lens technologies are independent of the body. that is, you can use IS on ancient 650 bodies.
with minolta and nikon only the very last generation bodies are fully compatible with the new techs.

I wasn’t helping my mom clean some stuff out and found 12 rolls of undeveloped film. Hype to see more family photos.

For B&W that's more than sufficient, temperature becomes quite a bit more important with C41/E6 as I'm sure you're aware. Jobo / Rotary systems are ideal for those formats

I've used the same format for colour too with great results. My thermometer is accurate to .2C, and I just have hot water to hand to maintain temp. Jobo processors are ideal, but they are not mandatory for home processing. With basic tools and good technique you can go a long way before having to buy more equipment.

It's not that hard to find. There's always some on eBay. It may not be as cheap as some other cameras, but the ability to switch between full and half frame any time and access to a very wide assortment of lenses maker it worth a few measly c-notes. My broke ass was able to afford one, so anyone could.

Pentax mx ticks all the boxes, loads of lenses to choose from, slapped a 40mm pancake on mine.
