film

Interesting if a little flawed (other still companies do make mechanical cameras so that annoyed me) but its an ad/promo so I'll let them off... what was most fascinating was that they grabbed a couple of ex old Olympus engineers to help... Still fairly limited for what it is... 'bright lens'...

During my multi-year scanning project I've run across images I hoped I would find a second, better image. Or might find the original negative later down the road. This is a great example (for me anyways) as to why. First shot is a flatbed scan from an 8x10-ish print, second shot from a...

(Mods - if this is the wrong place, move it if you need to or lock it and please point me where to repost.) As I continue the scanning project, I've run across a couple of images pointing me in the general direction of what my Dad has as a camera in the '50s and '60s. Looks like it was a...

So, I just cleared security. With newly nuked film. Because even when I politely asked if they could check it manually I had two options, either send it thru x-ray or open the film and expose it to light because «we can’t see what’s inside». This is the first time I have met this attiude on a...

I’ve been working on the meter on my early 70’s black paint Nikkormat FTn. After the latest round of work I took it out with a roll of Ilford XP2 Super loaded to test it. Still needs a little more work but it’s getting there. I used my 50/1.4 & 105/2.5.

Just sharing this video by PentaxTips. It is a small trade show but the content is more about a summary of some things Pentax-related. They talked about monochrome, some lenses, the KF, the film project, etc.

I'm wondering what they have cooking in that kitchen. And how long it's going to take to finish. :coffee-79:

After over thirty years away from film I have returned to my Nikon F4 and loaded a roll of Fomapan. It felt so good tor return to get back to the old ways of film. Bacon Butties and strong Italian coffee! Fomapan 200

I have a Pacific Image 3540 u scanner which works well but is very slow in scanning, I also have a Nikon LS-2000 scanner that is great but I am unable to use it since it is SCSI and none of my computers take a SCSI card, and even with VueScan, it will not operate the scanner with several...

Sorry for the long disquisition here, TL/DR: share your experience to help me choose a medium format folding camera. A random encounter in a camera shop recently with a Voigtländer Perkeo II, a 6x6 format, fixed lens, all manual, collapsing camera that takes 120 film, has sparked a minor...

I'm sure I'm only the latest of many who have picked up this legendary little compact, zone-focus camera. But we don't seem to have an image thread, so here goes! Please add your own thoughts and/or images, if you like. Film notes: HP5+ developed in the Ars Imago Lab-Box in Rodinal 1:25 for 6...

The felt shreds and appears in all of your photos. This was a test roll really, through the Lomo LC-A which I just bought. On top of this very visible problem, most of the roll was no good as it rolled on top of itself in the Lab-Box. Foma 200 has a particularly stiff polyester base, and it...

First three test shots out of the pack. First one was taken in room temp, developed fine. The other two were taken in 0C / 32F but I had the camera inside my jacket and also placed the ejected film right into a inside pocket. The third one obviously, taken right after the second one, hasn't...

https://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/japan/products/gr-3/special/diary/index.html (Google/Bing etc. translate the page well) There's a little more info now on the China-special limited edition (which sounds like it will make its way to other markets). Personally I think it's a very handsome camera...

Found these shots from a John Doe (of X) solo show back in the early '00's in Madison Wi: Pretty sure it was a Voigtlander Bessa R1 & a Canon 50/1.8. Fuji Superia "Supermarket" 400 film.

I am looking to get a Polaroid camera and film as a late Christmas gift for my brother. Polaroid Now can use i-Type batteryless film which a tiny bit cheaper. But the cameras cost more, being newer and having slightly more electronics in them. Polaroid 600-series plastic nonfoldables (just...

No thread for this one, so why not.

I made a filter holder out of a Plastic Case for a CF memory Card. I used the Polaroid Orange filter made for the folding pack cameras. This filter turns the 600 B&W into a high-contrast response. Too high for shooting people. Some interesting effects. I am going back to the color correction...

I almost always use an Orange or Red filter with my M Monochrom. I like Polaroid 600 film, and buy about 1 B&W for every 2 Color. Original SX-70 cameras will overexpose 600 film by 2 Stops. And Orange filter requires 2 Stops of compensation, a Red filter requires 3 Stops. Brain-Fart. The...

Leica announced it will bring back the film camera or more specific the Leica M6. According to the news, which cites Leicas press release, the new M6 will mostly stay true to the original one, however some improvements were made to the viewfinder, the rangefinder mechanism, the light meter as...

This SX-70 Sonar was modified to use 600 film some 20 years ago, easy job- remove the rim over the Electric Eye and take out the ND filter. Use 1-notch towards darken. The SX-70 Sonar can use the 119a Telephoto Lens for a 1.5x magnification. The SLR680 and SLR690 CANNOT use it. Putting the...

Hi there I hope this message finds you well and that it will trigger your curiosity:) My dad spent over 50 years collecting and fixing old cameras. He passed away in 2020 so I inherited over 2000 vintage cameras. I have decided to make a digital collection of the 99 I like the most. Not the...

FujiXWeekly Recipe Agfacolor Fade - supposed to resemble a faded color look from, the 1930's. I think I may be able to tweak this a little and get something close to a Kodachrome 25 film simulation. Not sure that I would use this simulation a lot for general shooting. Picture Control...

Many of you know that I enjoy the film simulations for Fuji X-Trans cameras and created a few myself. Well, the FujiXWeekly website has been branching out and working on creating film simulations for Nikon Picture Controls as well. I used this on my Z fc. Called Aged Analog Picture...

There wasn't a thread for this film stock yet. I just developed a roll yesterday using the Cinestill C41 2-bath kit, here are the selects, scanned using the Pro Image 100 profile in Silverfast on the Pacific Image XAs. I like these results, it is not the most color neutral/realistic, at least...

One of the downsides of having recently downgraded my Fujifilm stable, from the significantly larger (but still quite wonderful) X-Pro3 (with its X-Trans IV sensor) to the physically smaller X-T3 (with its slightly older X-Trans III sensor) - is that I no longer have access to what used to be my...

So, I am in the drawn-out process of moving back to Eau Claire for a new job at a different hotel. I just discovered there is still a real photo lab in Eau Claire that develops film in house! I’d stopped doing any film because mail order labs are prohibitively expensive. While not as cheap as...

Good Afternoon, One of my sons picked up these glass plate negatives for me as part of an estate auction last year. I did some research and the location points (most likely) to the whaling port of New Bedford, Massachusetts. I am going to take these to the N.B. Whaling Museum to get a true...

I have a Minolta maxxum A7. I ordered a few lens and they came with a flash . The model of the flash is Maxxum 2800 AF. It works by itself because I tested it. Put batteries in and hit the test button. And it fired. The manual for the camera said that this flash needs an hot shoe adapter...

Okay, I'll start this one up, for the Kodachrome 25 fans...:). Regards, Edd

Got out and had a chance to use the Duochrome Yellow today. Before that, I needed to unload the B&W film pack in the SX-70. Eastlawn Cemetery and WatLao Buddhist Temple Columbus, OH Scans are not as sharp as the actual prints. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

I have a nice Canon EOS650 fitted with a 35 -80mm zoom. It takes really nice images. I do the processing myself and then scan them at 4800dpi using my Canon 3000f flatbed scanner. I have just processed two rolls of film and are very disappointed. This one of my previous images take a few weeks...

If anyone has a customer base who buy a new $20,000 film camera in this day and age. It’s definitely Leica. And oh man, this is one beautiful camera. https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/24/leica-more-like-lolca/amp/

Some of you may have seen the snow photos I posted recently. Those photos were taken with a digital camera. That day, I also took a roll of film with my Xpan. A couple of months ago, I also took some photos with my Xpan, colour C41 roll, at a park. I decided to send those two rolls of Xpan...

I've seen a lot of photos and comments on Ultrafine Extreme, but almost nothing on the Finesse. It seems mostly well received. Has anyone used it? Love it? Hate it? I'm looking for something less expensive to bulk load, develop learn with. TIA!

Looks like Cinestills plans to crowd-fund a new colour film - the 400D are exceeding expectations. https://cinestillfilm.com/products/making-a-new-color-film-400dynamic It'll be interesting to see some more sample images. Anyone know if this is a from scratch formulation or is it just...

So, I finally took the roll of film from a few years ago to get developed from my test run of a Kodak Signet 35. I remember not enjoying the experience as much as I thought I would because of the very small viewfinder. I was mainly checking to see if it was serviceable in any way with accurate...

Back in the 70s and 80s, I had a great setup for processing black and white and color film and enlargements. I had two enlargers, a Philips 130/150 Dichroic color enlarger with Philips color analyzer for the color prints, A Beseler 23 also with a dichroic head but used for larger frame black...

Hi, my top latch on the film door aka backdoor I guess is broken. I've disabled a custom menu regarding film advance when the door is closed. My question now is " How will I get to the first exposure with the broken door?" Do I have to fire off a shot to advance the film...

Hi I just got my negatives back from the store and somethings are baffling me. Why aren't the images fitting properly in the border's? Nikon F80 and Tamron 17-50mm F 2.8 @67 A16. I also used a Hoya 67mm cpl. Is it because it's a full frame lens? Did the cpl leave artifacts? Is something...

Hi i just took out an load of monochrome film out of my N80 because of US of F80 internationally. I can't close the door back? Why? Do I need another roll in there? I checked the PDF manual and it doesn't mention closing the door. I'm new. I did load the film myself and auto rewind. I...

I have been taking photos long before there were digital cameras. As a consequence, I’ve got half a closet full of slides and negatives that I’m trying to turn into more portable and malleable digital images. I used to own a Nikon LS9000 ED scanner. It was crazy expensive, but it was said to be...

https://www.lomography.com/magazine/347678-how-to-find-your-developing-time-for-any-black-and-white-film Has anyone done something like this? It could be a really interesting way of testing out unconventional developer concentrations if it works.

Does anyone know how to change the display setting/language on the above camera? I've checked the batteries and they are fine. I want to change the default language to english and set the date time. I've gone through the online manual. Maybe I contact Minolta Japan to see what they say...
