Analog film photography and cameras

Anyone got a budget-ish rangefinder in good nick to sell? Summat compact. Family member seems to have got the film big...but not 100% sure. Hit me.

Hexar x Fuji Natura 1600

cross processed e100vs shot with a konica big mini I got for 250 yen (like £1.50) on yahoo auctions

Really dig these. My kinda contrast.

Hexar x Cinestill 800

Have you got a tumblr or flickr or anything?

I have a Flickr but I don't update it all that often. I should really setup something proper at some point

Followed :)

Cheers :-)

Couple of rolls of 120 back from the lab. Deleted and replaced down thread, minus the big dust spots.

Me too, like your stuff

Thanks chaps :~)

A couple on Fuji Pro 400H from the Rollei.

Still struggling to get good consistently technically correct photos from it, i.e. in focus and exposed correctly.

A few of friend Ben, great young photographer who's wanting to get into film too.

Constantly changing light at 'windy castle' made getting the correct exposure dialled in.

If I'm struggling with manual exposure on color negs I just aim for like 2 stops over what I estimate and it'll probably be fine.

(With monochrome I just use the aperture/shutter speed I want for the shot unless it's obviously far too dark. I expose slides carefully, usually.)

I usually try and over expose by around 1 stop, not sure if it was just the changing light but these ones with my family and the castle were just all over the place.

That last one is really nice..

I'd probably have metered from the shaded wall of the castle minus a stop and not changed it for cloud cover.

It's interesting to hear how others would go about it.

I was actually metering with my digital camera, but the light was just so variable I guess.

Been trawling the back catalog and found this from the XA on poundland Vista.

This is a lovely shot. Not easy to get either.

Regarding metering ... did you meter a spot or the scene? Spot ftw. Any metering that takes in the sky there is going to be under (I'd have thought).

What I'm doing is actually a bit different. Say I'm shooting 400 film, I'll set the digital camera to ISO320 so as to bias the exposure on film a bit on the high side and take a couple of test shots to work out shutter speed / aperture depending on which I want to control.

I then transfer these settings to the Rolleicord / Ihagee Exa / Pen D3, all meterless or broken meters. It just doesn't seem to work so well on the Rolleicord, but I don't know why.

Isn't exposures different on the rolleicord different because it's medium format? For example a f2.8 is brighter on medium format then it is on a smaller sensor camera?

I may be completely wrong, feel free to correct me anyone
