film cameras (medium format, large format, 35mm, whatever)

[robgotsastaplerr]

just picked up a yashica tl electro (the spotmatic knockoff) and have been having a blast with it so far. off to develop my first few rolls and will probably scan them in too. does anyone have a particular b/w film to recommend btw? i've been using the kodak professional 400TX and i'm curious to see the results!

[mago_san_2d_god]

tri-x is pretty standard. has a lot of shade variation but comes with some grain.

People should hold film shots at the same standards they hold digital to. Myself included.

Was curious if any of you had any experience with the mg-1. From what I've read it seems to be a solid starter camera and a good value for what they typically go for.

crosspost from photography thread

for reference: it's Canon A-1/ FL 58mm f1.2/ HP5+ (developed in HC-110) for the black and white... 50mm f1.4 FD for the color pics with kodak gold/400H.

also... some of my better 6x6's as of recently. I didn't find any reason to spend an additional 1K plus on a hassey so I'm using a bronica SQ-A/ zenzanon-ps 80mm f2.8 and am happy with the quality.

if anyone is selling a rolleiflex hit me up

[pepper davies]

Picked up this little guy today for a GREAT price.

[tu_madre51]

Can someone help me with how to start developing/printing your own film and shit? I heard it wasn't that expensive for black and white and that it was easy. Thanks in advance

[Krackrox]

Anyone want an RZ67? Id like a T3, or other luxury point and shoot.

This is what they teach in photography school?

I've been dicking around with an AE-1.

a few scans from a shoot.. mamiya 645 w kodak 160NC (first two converted to b&w)

Been using a T2 ever since I left my Yashica T4 in a cab (whoops) and I am in love. Thinking about getting another camera to complement it. Either a Ricoh GR1S or V, a Konica Hexar AF or saving up for an interchangeable lens rangefinder system (leica m or contax g2). Thoughts?

the quirkiness of that design is amazing.

Was just able to purchase my first film camera, a Minolta x 700 w/ pristine Ozunon MC push/pull tele zoom 75-200mm f4.5 and MC 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 push/pull zoom. Quite excited to say the least

how are you guys getting your film developed? the only place that did it near me just closed, from looking at some stuff it seems that developing at home is best for black and white? I'm new to this game

[cheapmuthafukr]

would anyone be interested in buying a nikonos V?

ive been wanting to get an olympus stylus epic for a while now but wasnt feeling like paying $100 for one on ebay. yesterday i found an olympus stylus epic dlx at a thrift store for $6. also found 5 rolls for kodak gold 100 for $1. stoked to put them to use this week!

[1M]

any spots to order film in bulk for cheaper?

^^ if you dont mind expired film, ebay always has good deals. i got 4 free rolls of kodak 400 today from walgreens because the clerk screwed up and voided them for some reason.

[kelleydenham]

I do a little photography (I use a Minolta Freedom Zoom 70EX). I actually have a few copies of a zine I did recently left over if anybody wants one.

Developing at home is pretty great but also somewhat risky. It'll cost you about $80 for the chemicals and the chemicals are temperature sensitive and such. It's real tricky to learn but it's great and time/money saving when you master it.

Just found this thread--lot of good shit. The medium format shooters make me jealous.

Stuff from this summer, all on a Nikon FE with 50mm lens, mix of films--tri-x, portra, superia. Next buy is a wider lens--maybe 28 f2.8, or maybe a film point and shoot.
