Photography Post Vol. 2

Fuego,

 

There isn't really a significant difference between 35mm and MF as far as technique and know-how go.

If you're competent in how to use a camera it's more a choice between the look of the different film types and your willingness to spend more of less money.

 

You can get into 35mm on the cheap and still end up with a really nice setup. You could get a Canon AE-1 for under $100 or step up to something like a Canon F-1 or Nikon F3 for $3-400.

 

MF is categorically more expensive. Cheapest viable route in my eye in a Yashica Mat 124G which you can get for sub-$300. It'll get you quality results, but it's pretty limiting as you can't swap lenses or anything. If you're really planning on investing in film and MF, you really should just go all the way with either a Hasselblad 500 series, Mamiya 7 II (their slr's are good too, just massive), or maybe even a Bronica SQ-A or something. All-in-all you're looking at spending $1000+.

 

Some MF shots from late 2013 with my 500C/M:

Nice , I've got the mini 8 it's pretty cool i just wish the flash wouldn't fire all the time. Yours has the option which is nice

[shoreman1782]

^re the permaflash--can you just tape over it or is it the battery drain that's bad?

[TheCreativeD00m]

Yes I tape over it or hold something to deflect it, kinda annoying but it was a gift so I can't complain really or let's say I shouldn't complain haha

Not really satisfied with my film (photography) work yet. Finally have access to a darkroom though, so I'm going to try to shoot a lot more B&W film (can't do color processing cause psu sucks in that sense). If anyone also has any advice on how my tones are please feel free to give me any sort of advice as I'm still learning how to scan and process properly.

Awesome shots with the XE-1, I thought they were all film before I read your comment (although I'm not a connoisseur).

[laxlife1234]

Shot with a friend today, really impressed with the results I got. Used my 85 and elan 7e + tmax 400.

Thanks.

One of the most fun cameras I have owned. Perfect for everyday carry and travel without loosing on features and quality.

Will put some more shots up tonight.

Need some help here. 

 

So im going to be shooting an "our process" sort of video for a rolex repairer and need a bit help choosing a lens. Im pretty sure well be shooting in a tight place and ill either be directly over or behind him 75% of the time. 

Can anyone recommend me a pretty good canon lens for this. I sort of want to find something with a bit of versatility as well since i will most likely be renting and will want to play around with it a bit before and after the shoot. 

 

 

Thanks!
