Analog film photography and cameras

Top tube bag/stem cell?

Custom stem cell would be lovely... make it one-camera-sized, waterproof but easy access. Someone whip one up, I'll buy it if it's cheap!

Only problem with stem cells is knees. My knees already almost hit my bars at certain times. Also My camera is v heavy and I fear it’d swing around too much or even worse, dent my top tube.

I carry my beater mju2 in one of these when i’m not in roadie douchbag mode. The fella made me one in green to match my other bags. The cam has grip tape, because it gets slippery af when sweaty-handed.

Probably the easiest to carry (and allround awesome) 35mm cam i’ve used is the Ultrawideslim. They’re kinda a tiny, 35mm, wideangle Holga.

Oh yeah, that camera looks like great fun. Not a single one for sale on the internet though, it would seem.

Type ‘superheadz’ into eBay. They’re branded as that these days.

Thanks man.

Think I may also buy a shit load of C200 and just shoot loads of it instead of Portra seeing as it's a third of the price

Both Fuji and Kodak's consumer films are both fine, they just have more grain than Portra/Ektar/Pro 400h. It's something you won't notice too much if just 'gramming or printing up to A4. Besides, I like grain, one of the reasons I shoot film.

I am carrying my 35ti in apidura framebag in the Alps atm.

Ricoh would be better but I fear it's a bit fragile for this kind of usage and 28mm was too wide for this trip.

Nice!
Curious to see some pics!

Nice!

How do you scan these / have them scanned?

What you recommend any light meters or just buy an app for the iPhone?

I'm going to look at a Bronica local thats got a bunch of stuff and try negotiate a better price than the seller wants....

If you shoot landscapes on colour negative film an app will do just fine.
Use common sense, like point it to relevant areas in your image.
I have a free one for iOS, think it's called just "Light Meter", it does the job well.
If you shoot with slide film and the light is "complicated" / difficult to meter a proper spot meter would become useful.

Good luck with the Bronica!

They also did a nice 6x45 rangefinder - go check if your guy has one of those!

Very nice.

Think I went to primary school with someone called Bronica.

cool story bronica

fucking cyclists

Great shot.

Nice!

Cheers ! Get the lab to do it, it's usually a Noritsu or a Frontier. These were Filmdev's Noritsu- Im starting to suspect they over sharpen compared to other labs

Concur with an app for a Lightmeter, I meter my Mamiya C330 and Zeiss folder with them for B&W and C41 and had no issues. Most also have a form of spot meter, touch the screen where you want to meter
