Very cool shot. Would look really awesome printed very big. You should do it.

Darkroom is essential for my photography. I need it to make prints and change/load film.

I load my sheet film in my darkroom. I have never used a cuck bag. It's the primary use of it, but I also do enlargements occasionally. I'd rate it as medium-high importance

What meter should I get to strap to my Mamiya RB67? I've read mixed things about the one from TTartisan, but it looks neat.

Any tips as to how I can stop having so many blurry photos? Here's my usual gear and approach:
>Half Frame Kodak
>Usually shoot Kodak ISO 400 or Fuji 200
>Walk around the street and try to capture spur of the moment shots
Do I just have a shaky hand? I really don't want to give up the half-frame because film is so expensive and getting ~80 shots is better than 36.

hello fellow hollywood bro, I respect you doing street on film but yeah a half frame camera that's locked at a low-ish shutter speed probably will always have some shake if you don't stop. you have the confidence to shoot folks already so a nicer camera will definitely assist in capturing those moments.

Thoughts on this excerpt? Is it just gay and/or retarded?

>Henri Fantin-Latour also believed that his still lifes should not be a mere slavish pictorial copy of objects. There should be an element of human artifice to elevate these ordinary objects from nature to art. Fantin-Latour masterfully arranged his still lifes to play between geometric shapes and organic lines. Fantin-Latour infused his Still Life with three compositional triangles. Two of the triangles are equilateral and the third is right-angled. They add dynamic movement and prevent the composition of Still Life from falling into the stagnant inactivity of so many inferior still lifes.

repost because I forgot to mention, figured out my film holder flatness issue
guess the guy who makes these doesn't shoot a lot of 35mm, because the track was designed for the exact width of the film
the 120 holder on the other hand is about 1mm over-sized on the width
this means the little errors in 3D printing the 35 holder pinches the film and causes it to buckle
I just took an xacto chisel blade and shaved the bumps off, then finished with high-grit sandpaper, no more issues

I think I may have made the wrong choice picking a 35mm focal length.
I've shot 50mm, 45mm, and even 28mm and loved them all. So I figured 35mm must be fine right?
So I put all my money into an expensive 35mm to be my end-game lens.
Turns out I don't like the way the photos look.
I can't put my finger on it, but it just doesn't feel right.
Any tips?

I replaced the "pad of death" in my dad's old Yashica Electro 35 and shot a few rolls of ultramax 400 on a recent trip to the PNW. I basically shot a whole roll of just blurry shapes beforehand to make sure it works (didn't focus any of the shots as I'm retarded).

I think I'm getting the hang of it and I'm starting to understand the limitations of an older film camera. First time shooting film outside of disposables and a little old point and shoot camera I had when I was a kid.

First sheet of 8x10 e100vs has been exposed. I made a little still life with the peels of mango, watermelon, and oranges. It is a test shot, but I did put effort into making it a nice test shot. No eggs, but I have an idea for another egg pic that should be awesome. I may have a series going.
It was the first color film I have ever shot in 8x10 and I cannot wait to see how it looks!

Fun little challenge to keep the entire scene within 5 stops of contrast.

>>4461357
Try changing your perspective a little more, and getting closer. Standing up with camera to face can work sometimes, but a more unique perspective will usually be better. Do you have a shot with a 50 or 28 that you think has what's missing from your 35 shots, maybe?

Oh lol for whatever reason I was thinking contrast in color or something, like the wavelengths of visible color. I wasn’t thinking about just dynamic range/stops of light lmao that makes way more sense. It’s just metering light to make sure you have 5 EVs worth of light range.

I am somewhat new to film, and recently came into a Minolta XG-M and some Kodak Max 400 film that expired in 2006. I shot a roll of it and it came out decent (very grainy, but not destroyed), and am going to shoot the other 2 rolls I have. I read that overexposing expired film can compensate for some of its chemical deterioration.

My question is if I should push the film by turning the exposure adjustment on the camera to +1 or +2, or by setting the film speed control on the camera to 200 or 100?

these are my first shots on that Canon AE1, the camera is from my parents who bought it way back in the '80s. I'm shooting Fomapan 200 and I had the roll developed and scanned.

Those horizontal and vertical lines you see everywhere (most clearly on the top left corner), can anybody tell me what those are? Is there a way to fix that? Is it the shutter leaking? Is it the scanning process they did? Is my lens dirty? The lens is the regular Canon 50mm that came with the camera.

It would mean the film isn't lying flat and was bulging somewhere in front of the shutter. Either loaded incorrectly or something up with the film pressure plate (which could also potentially scratch film)

yeah, I think I'm loading it incorrectly, but if the film is a bit loose and bulging in front of the shutter, wouldn't that be fixed after the first shot, when I wind up the film for the next shot?

This is reasonably sharp, nothing wrong with it. It's film, not digital. What camera/lens/film stock were you using? What settings, if you recall?

Leica M3, 35mm summicron f2 v1, fujifilm 200, 1/250, f16 for the dock photo. Portra 400, 1/250, f8 for the flower.

I'll probably pick up a modern 50mm to try out and compare. Might just be that I don't like old glass as much as I was expecting.

Kodak Ektar h35, brand new it's about $50. I like that it's new, I've had bad luck and 'gremlins' with my previous Olympus film camera and decided that i'd rather have something new even if it's not top quality. I also like that I get about ~75 exposures from a roll of 36, and that it's nearly small enough to fit in my palm.
For better or worse, it's just a point and shoot so I don't waste time considering settings or modes. I just think about the sunlight and shadows and focus on capturing good moments as I see them.

There's definitely some NR from the scanner so it could be a little sharper but if you wanted sharp you should've used 6x9 at f/22 or skip right to large format. Also that lens is 50 years old it's not gonna be tack sharp especially if you're gonna bokeh the fuck out of everything.

hello local anon(s)

for metering in older cameras like that both controls essentially do the same thing, so it's a matter of how convenient each control is for adjustment based on how the designers envisioned it to be used
film speed is typically intentionally more difficult to adjust because you're supposed to set it once for a roll, whereas exposure adjustment is meant to be done on an up to per-shot basis

thanks for the help. I have a new roll of film just in (before realising I might be loading it wrong) so later I'll rewind it, pop it out and try putting it back in. But yeah, I remember putting it in and the film not being super tight in between the two sprockets, so I'll try to get it tighter in next time.

really the only one that matters is the one closer to the shutter, the friction of the light seal on the canister will take up the slack across the film plane
as long as you insert the leader into the takeup spindle reasonably far, then align the holes with the sprockets on the other spindle, you should be good for winding

Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 Version II with the lens hood, got a good deal on marketplace.
I'd like to get the summilux, but that will be later down the line.
I don't really shoot 1.4 often, but I guess its nice to have.

irohas photo in the city have done my last few they seem okay, big scans but the quality can be a little off here and there.
ikigai film lab is a little more expensive but I think they do a better job, downside is I don't think you can pickup your scans, they must be posted. (he is a bit of a shitposter on IG stories, I think he has beef with other labs)
vanbar is okay, haven't been since they moved.

The V2 seems pretty good. I had borrowed the V1 off a friend and found edge sharpness to be quite bad as well as the lens being very soft at wide open so I ended up going with the Ultron but seems like the Nokton V2 would've been a safe choice.

Ah, explains the misframing on that first shot then lol.

I don't really know the difference desu, I just picked this lens because of the speed and size, I also have a 0.95 mft that works alright.
might just be famed that way for the first shot, but you can also see top right they are not scanned straight
ive also had a roll scanned with a red line though the whole lot, still need to check if its the film, doesn't bother me too much

>nutter
facts, but I feel like if i ever shoot weddings I would get him to scan them, sorta thinking about doing it, but for me its all just a hobby, but if I can make some cash on the side and shot my m6 + f5, might be a bit of fun hey.

This shot might of been shot wide open, it would of been better if I got the focus but I was trying to get the shot before she noticed.

Thanks for voting even if you placed me in second to last in front of a mistake picture. This is okay. I like them all too, and think we are all winners because we had fun taking egg pics!
We definitely need more still life shooters on /p/. It is really a lot of fun, harder than it looks to get just right and a great excuse to get a view camera and some lights. I posted a few other egg still lifes in the previous fgt if you wanted to see them. I think they're a lot more interesting than my submission to the contest.

Im working on another one with the cooke portrait lens I just got today. It's going to be a bit psychotic and include soft focus, but no eggs! Should have a scan tonight or tommorow morning. :D

I could write a LOT about still lifes, but I'll try to keep it somewhat short and to the point.

Study still life paintings and photographs

Spend all the time you need fiddling with composition and lighting. You have all the time in the world to get what you want.

Focus on negative space as much as the objects in your still life.

Putting stuff on the corner/edge of table creates tension.

Balance is really important and very challenging.

Do not over clutter your composition unless you specifically intend to create a chaotic scene. Often times less is more with still lifes.

Smaller formats of film will have better DoF, so it will be easier to capture a full scene, BUT in my opinion bigger film looks a lot better for still lifes.

I like using continuous lighting for my still lifes because it is basically wysiwyg

Have fun! Hah

I think this pic really sucks, but at least I got a test shot with the new cooke IV portrait lens. I screwed up focus, but the in focus parts are really quite sharp.
There is no glowy softness, which means you need large aperture + softness dial turned up to get soft effect. Makes sense considering that the softness comes from spherical aberration, I think. It will be very challenging to balance DoF with soft effect for still lifes.

Tommorow I try again with a larger aperture, and different subject. Either way these old ass lenses are really quite impressive.

Which Cooke lens? I’ve been trying to get a hold of a P945 for the longest time. You should do a test shot outside or with more light. I’d like to see the detail and fall off.

Remember it’s the lens and film that decides the look. The body is just a body. I’ve had an M4 for a few years now and I had a CLA on it about two years ago and after almost daily use it’s about time for another CLA. Just take care of your tools, they all have a lifecycle and they all need maintenance after a certain amount of actuations. You can stick to the R2 and R2M, just give it regular maintenance but don’t homebrew fixes.

Oh I’m not telling you not to. Get a brass body though, don’t go zinc. And don’t baby it!

Have you considered the original line of M4s? Mine is from 1967 and it’s so fucking cool to hold something designed decades ago but still influencing modern cameras. Especially external look.

Yeah the m4s look really great, but I'm hesitant to not have a built in light meter, and would be annoyed with attaching a third party extension on the hotshoe.

I'm still pissed that I missed a good condition M7 0.58 (I'm a glasses wearer) for 3500 on keh but I've heard bad things about them recently so maybe I dodged a bullet.

Plan is to sell my Nikon fm2n and Bessa and it'll make the investment into an M body not feel so bad

That’s a good plan, sell the equipment you won’t use for the new body you’ll be using instead. No need to hoard. If you’re looking for M mount lenses, Voigtlander beats out all the classic Leica glass in performance for a fraction of the price. It’s only the newer Leica lenses that sometimes edge out, ever so slightly, in performance.

I wouldn’t go with an M7, I have a few friends that aren’t afraid of the circuitry potentially dying but they can easily afford another body if it dies. I’m not as cool as them so I have an M4, I usually meter on my phone every few shots because my phone camera sensor is more accurate than anything inside a film Leica. I haven’t metered wrong since, sometimes I only meter once a roll— sometimes I meter every shot. It mainly depends on if the light changes.

Amsterdam Camera Repair recently came out with new circuit boards for the original generation of M6 but I don’t think they have a replacement for the TTL circuitry yet and certainly not for the M7.

Good luck finding that ps945 lens. Rarer than hens teeth is my guess lol. Probably like 5k+ also. Get a series IIb while you wait.

>>4462802
You can just scan them and then use a printer! Seeing prints off the screen and holding them is what really counts. Still lifes can be kinda boring, but look really nice as prints on a wall. It's a strange phenomenon.

>color vs. B&W enlarger
Yes. A color enlarger can do b&w, but a b&w enlarger can't just do color.

Couple more pics with the cooke. This one is at f8 and I fucked it up. All these goats were released into the field I was working in so I was a bit rushed.

Don't really know what happened with the tree on the left, but it is weirdly harsh. This would have looked a lot better if I was able to use f5.6 and there was no wind.

2/2 This was shot at f5.6 with full softness setting, a bit underexposed. You can see the pleasing softness/glow on the blackberries.

This lens is really interesting and has a ton of character, but that means it is going to take some shooting to understand what works and what doesn't. It is a lot more subtle than the imagon. Ill be taking some portraits with it soon. I think it's going to be quite nice.

Thoughts?

Maybe I will post a very small crop of one to show off how it makes skin look.

I was doing some more reading about these lenses and apparently the soft effect dial influences the image differently at each aperture AND the focal distance also influences the effect. On top of all of that the picture on the GG is not entirely representative of the final image youll get.
A lot to learn about this lens. FUN.
