Analog film photography and cameras

Newbie question on film photography, whats the best way to go from film photos to photos you can use online? Does it work or do you lose a lot of quality? The photos above look quality.

Medium is around 17mb.

Just use a decent scanner and scan at a good size and resolution. I usually scan the negatives.

Probably from sharpening.

Check lightroom sharpens to the minimum. Batch scanned stuff from minilabs is already sharpened ... files look like shit if you sharpen a sharpened thing.

Spam-alert. Pretty sure I'm ready to let go of my Minolta Rokkor MD 50mm f/1.2 if anyone's interested before eVilbay.

Thanks. Pictured it's a weighty setup what with all the glass and loaded motor drive but worth it for the swag factor.

What's the price?

That would help... £250

2nd shot is stunning

I got one of those things for flying:

I've had portra 400/800 with me on several flights through handluggage and a few x-ray machines. It's rather heavy so i guess there's metal under the plastic surface. It also just appears as a solid block on the x-ray machines but none of the security staff asked me to open and check inside.
No issues whatsoever.

Was thinking perhaps I'd buy myself a Mju II to tide me over while my Olympus trip was in for a service... log on to the bay and... HOLY FUCK!! YOU WANT HOW MUCH?!

Ended up getting an Olympus AF-1 for 19 quid.

AF-1 minis are really good - same lens/gubbins as original mju-1 and in a waterproof/shockproof case....
I rather like mine

It's got that sharp/saturated thing going on, just like a mju.
I think mine was 99p + Postage on the ebay

200 ISO film in the Hexar I think, god knows how I held it still...

Oh nice - I bought an original AF-1, the only thing that worries me is the undefeatable auto flash, but I beleive it's got the same f2.8 lens as the mju II.

Anyone in need of a photo enlarger and developing/printing kit? I’ve got a working Meopta Axomat 4a listed on eBay - not listed the rest yet - but would happily cut a deal for anyone here who’s looking to take the next step up.

Used it myself for caffenol projects but moved house and don’t have a dark-room any more. PM me!
