film

An interesting article over at Wired about how the team at VSCO go about creating their film filters for their apps. https://www.wired.com/story/vsco-film-photo-filters/ It's a short article but something that I had not really thought about before and, after reading that, I'm not sure if I...

Hey folks, I have been hankering after a rangefinder for a long time. I have a couple of functioning film SLRs, since that type of camera seems to be overwhelmingly predominant in all thrift stores, antique shops and even on the auction sites, but I don't like the relative clunkiness and...

Just did a Wawa coffee run and stopped by the local thrift store on the way home to see if they had any shiny stuff for the collection. No shiny things but I came across something that I suspect the don't know what to do with.... a Beseler Printmaker 67 enlarger. The have it priced at $130 but...

Hey, I have zero experience developing film, but it has gotten to the point where no one remotely close to my rural area develops on site, and sending film off to higher quality development houses is cost prohibitive. I would still like to shoot some film, though, and I'm thinking about trying...

April 12th is here :) What do you currently have loaded? What are you shooting this weekend? N90 - Ektar 100 Minolta A5 - HP5 400 F3/T - Fuji Superia 400 I hope to have some time to snap a few frames this weekend!

Lets go! Put your Velvia film simulation images here with any custom settings you may be using! I just started experimenting with it a little bit this week. Film Simulation = Velvia Sharpness = +2 Shadows = 0 Highlights = -1 Grain = Weak Noise Reduction = -2 Dynamic Range = DR200 Color = +2...

These are with a Fomapan 400 & a mix of lenses including the 45mm pancake

Like the others in this series, any images taken with the Fuji cameras film simulation set to ProNeg STD. Please share any custom settings. I pulled this one, again from FujiXWeekly website. I did tweak a little, as you cannot bake in a custom color shift to the white balance in a custom...

Not really a beer drinker or a film guy anymore, but kind of cool. https://www.dpreview.com/news/0772516271/craft-brewery-partners-with-kodak-to-create-a-beer-that-doubles-as-film-developer

Pretty sure I've posted this elsewhere before but a few more videos are out from the Fix Old Cameras channel - I'm a little surprised by the plastic Minolta gears in the middle video - you could totally imagine stripping those but maybe they're sturdier than they look... More over here Fix...

Camera X100S, ISO 200, f4, various shutter speeds, Color 0, Highlight -1, Shadow +1, NR -2, Sharp -2

Following Andrew's Acros example, I thought I'd go ahead and start a CC thread. I took the image I posted in Andrew's Acros thread, and used the in-camera raw software to convert it to CC, bumping up the shadows to +2. Maybe not the best film simulation to try on a gloomy day. What do you think?

I didn't see this specifically, but thought it might be a good idea for us to share. Since having the MONO dial on the Olympus PEN-F, I've been getting more and more into SOOC JPG processing. My usual workflow is to shoot RAW+F JPG with the "film simulation" of choice. The PEN-F gives you a...

What a neat idea. https://www.dpreview.com/news/9008988907/camera-rescue-aims-to-save-100-000-analog-cameras-for-future-generations

Here are a few shots with Ilford Delta 100 taken in Sofia, Bulgaria with my Minolta XD. Starting with a couple of shots of the Museum of Sofia, formerly the city's public bathouse. Just across the street is the spot where the hot spring water that used to feed the bathhouse is still being...

https://petapixel.com/2019/02/08/cinestill-launches-powdered-just-add-water-film-developers/ Basically a powder that you can get shipepd to you, add water and you are ready to develop your film. Color and B&W options available, and cost is roughly $1 per roll.

I see a thread for this film in the Colour Film Showcase but I assume that now there is a section specifically for B&W Film I should post this here. Here are a few scenes from Sofia, Bulgaria a couple of weeks ago when the snow was falling. Shot on Delta 400 with a Minolta CD and Rokkor MD...

After seeing Jeff Bridges shooting his Widelux I started poking around on evilbay and saw the 2 common variants of panoramic 'moving lens' cameras - the Widelux (vintage Japanese) & Noblex (German). And I also stumbled across the Russian Horizon cameras yesterday too - these often appear to be...

I am being given two Minolta medium format cameras by my aging brother in law. I know very little to nothing about Minolta medium format. Don't even know the models. Haven't seen him in years but he follows my photography. They didn't make many did they?

I think Kevin has set up this new section, so apologies if there is already a thread for Acros 100. I took my old Agfa Isolette II for a stroll around the garden, trying Acros 100 out in 120 for the first time. Developed by AG Photo Lab, scanned on a CanoScan 8800F using Vuescan, minor tweaks...

Well, to say that this camera is interesting is an understatement. It's a modern take on a classic folder, and it shoots modern instant film (Fujifilm's Instax Wide films, to be exact). It sports full manual control as well as aperture priority with (moderate) exposure correction. It's a true...

To get into gear with instant again before the MiNT InstantKon RF70 arrives, I took out the OneStep2 (and the Lomo'Instant Automat Glass, but that's a different thread) to try my hand on evening colours. I had been in two minds about the Polaroid Originals latest colour film, but quite fond of...

A bit of an oddity, this one. It’s a tungsten balanced film so it has a blueish cool look when shot outside. Actually I find it rather appealing. It’s rubbish for cloudy conditions though, the shots come out muddy and flat. Give it some sunshine and it’s nice. All shot with an Olympus XA2...

Some of the best BBQ in Florida and a very tough Mountain Bike track across the street with a boat ramp into the Intercoastal waterway on the east coast out back, near St. Augustine. Fun place to hang out. F100 28-70 3.5-4.5 HP5.

I shot these with the Fuji GW690. I am on the fence about this film, I am not in love with it.

A few lucky photographers got to beta test the new Ektachrome film, and have started to post their results on Instagram. WOW, it looks really good, the skin tones are just amazing!!!! I can't wait for the new film. and another by the same photographer...

I learnt something new today, quite exciting actually, and then I tried it this evening. I am sure many people know about this, but the new Polaroid film (or the old impossible) can also be peeled apart, not quite like real peel apart film, but it will peel apart to a positive emulsion layer...

I had a roll of Kentmere 100 in a camera with a few shots, I then naively rewound the roll and put into the Olympus MjuII, thought I had wound on there to the first available frame. Well, it obviously didn't work! The lab processed it but wrote a note that all of the frames were overlapped. I...

Kanton DX35 is a Concept Machine for Easy At-Home Film Processing

I've been buying and trying compact 35mm cameras for about a year now. Never found one I really liked. They over-hyped models I found to be bulky and loud. I never dove down the Olympus Muju route due to prices, and never scored one while thrifting. About two months ago, I realized I still...

New film for me, unfortunately recently discontinued :boohoo: Three sticks ... Fuji GA645Zi, Fuji Hunt Xpress

I got the negs back from Mamiya 6 Automat II folder, I used Delta 100 as the test roll. I am very pleased with the results, no light leaks, lens appears to be very sharp, the sunny16 worked fine (like a bit of highlight/shadow edit in LR). The lab however has left some horrible lines on the...

I couldn't find a thread for 100 Lomo negative. Apologies if I've overlooked it. Lincoln Memorial, Washington DC. Minolta XD, Rokkor 50/1.7, Lomo Colour 100

This is a 40/1.9 lens point and shoot camera from the 80's. Here is one of the shots from the first roll I have shot with it. Film is Kodak TMax 100 and a yellow filter. Not bad I'd say for a loud 80's camera :).

Finally finished a roll of Superia in the F100 this morning. I have the OM2n with me now to try and finish a roll of AGFA Vista200 that's half finished. I really have to thin out my projects. I still have to finish a roll of HP5 in the Minolta that's on frame 12. Good problem to have I guess...

This is a lens which I haven't used in many years. In the past I used it almost exclusively with Kodachrome and Agfachrome, both in ASA 64, both sadly long gone. I got an urge to get it out and try it with some fast film, and chose Tmax 400. The faster film makes it a lot easier! this lens...

Just thought I would start a conversation on this topic, I would love to know what everyone is shooting today (or these days). I loaded up two cameras last night, the Nikon F80 with FP4 and the Canon ML35 or Super Sure Shot, I believe this was what it was called in NA, with some Kodak TMax 100...

Here's something you don't see very often. I had a 5cm Nikkor f2 Lens for the Hansa Canon for years, a lucky flea market find. A few weeks ago I got a Seiki-Canon 1938 Model S in beautiful cosmetic condition. I had been looking for a body for years, finally found one that wasn't insanely...

I have spent two days with this scanner, here are some early thoughts. I used both Vuescan and Silverfast with it, and I think Silverfast offers better scans, just to note I am creating linear scans, no edits made by the scanner, except extraction of the "pure" data from the neg. Linear scans...

Does anybody make such a thing? I have found lens attachment rings with tripod connectors but I loose auto focus and metering. I have a couple older lens that need one. My Tamron 60-300 is a log. I can't imaging hanging that thing off the front of a camera without support. It's a fun older...

What would be a good choice for a overall filter that I could use for BW photography in say a very sunny place? I like my BW pictures that I took in Tula, but felt I could have done with something to lessen the bright light a bit. It was a very sunny and open space with only wispy clouds in...

A shot from my TMax 100 roll. Mexico.

Quite enjoyed this - two high-speed B&W films compared. I've never had much luck with high-speed film but I'm tempted to give it another crack in the right circumstances. It looks like the Kodak is definitely grittier and the Ilford has a smoother look to it. The presenter did well in some of...

I recently went on a short trip to Mexico, to a town I have visited a number of times, and this is the first time I took pictures. I never did before because I hate using a phone to take pictures and I had no camera in the past. Anyhow, I took my Minolta Dynax 5 with a 50mm lens and whole lot...

Anything special to know about how to unfreeze film, specially 120? Only done this with 135 in the past. And can it be frozen again? Thanks for any tips!
