Analog film photography and cameras

1st is really nice (I don't really like your mag cast). 3rd too. Which lens did u use ?

Yeah, I haven't used it since CS4. Very different indeed.

Also amazed by the Automate > Photomerge. Literally took 20 seconds on my ancient MacBook Air to combine two photos. I mean, it doesn't look particularly good but I appreciate the technology!

These are splendid

Delta 100 landscapes are spot on and the horse shot is ace too....
Inspired.
I'll be taking some B&W on my next mountain trip!

Thanks! I am going to the Picos de Europa in September to go walking. Cannot wait to take more B&W with me.

Love number 3.

Thanks folks

@mrboulard Either the 35mm f2.8 AI (most likely) or the 50mm f1.8 AI

Shameless plug. Not sure what I'm trying to achieve by sharing this but just dumped a load more of my favourite photos on here: http://jakeb.im

I used my EOS 300 with 50mm STM for a week. Whilst autofocus was great for on-bike photography, it sure did take the fun out of taking photos. Not quite the ease and convenience of point and shoot and not quite as therapeutic as a fully manual SLR. With that said, hoping for good things when I get my photos back. Speaking of which, I sent them off to Steve at Palm Labs and whilst I don't have the negatives back yet, customer service has been second to none so far.

May very well get rid of the 50mm lens as well as the EOS 300 if anyone is interested in either.

I was on the verge of selling my EOS 300x, but took it out for a spin and forgotten how much I like it once you get past trying to force it to be something it isn't.
Normally shoot it in 'P' for Professional and let the matrix metering thing do it's thing unless it's high contrast when the AE lock button turns it into spot metering. Even started to use the pop up flash to fill in when shooting E6, be interested to see how they turn out.

..for a second there I thought I was on kenrockwell.com

😂

Love that border.

How do you support your growing family?

Currently learning how to develop and scan 35mm B&W film, lot of fun so far. Some Kodak tri-X and HP5+ :

I like the idea that everyone has their own process.

Really nice ! The first one need more density on the left side, but very nice serie.

Thanks @mrboulard! Yes right, it's a bit overexposed..

It was a lovely sunset :)

The Delta 100 shots are all really nice. I think I may have said previously don’t take 100ISO film - ignore that ;)

They’re great, especially like 3 and 6

Got to say, the standard of photography and discourse on here is very high lately. Much better than some of the more specialist photography forums

Wow! These are superb

You most certainly did. Glad I chose to ignore you ;-) will be giving your suggested 400 a go in the winter, don’t you worry. Though, with an impending move to New York in the Autumn, I’ll be taking a lot of Ektar to get the colour of Autumn leaves.

Really love the pointing girl. Adorable.

only just seen this! Thank for sharing, great photos ...and for taking the camera up mountains and occasionally leaping into fields to get a better viewpoint.

Question re: Zeiss Ikon Nettar.
I've been using mine these last couple of days and keep making the same cock-up.
I cock the shutter, frame the shot and then realise I've not wound the film on.
I wind on the frame and mid wind, I think the shutter fires.....
I've done this twice, presumably I'm going to end up with over-exposed shots.....
Am I understanding this correctly? can the cocking arm be released without exposing the film?
I think I need to get into the habit of winding on after each shot...

Do you have the double exposure prevention mechanism in yours ? Does a red piece of plastic slide into the viewfinder after you've taken a shot, preventing you firing the shutter again ?

If so it's probably just that mechanism clearing when you're winding the film on. Mine makes a mechanical clunk when it's re-set that mechanism, it's a louder sound than the whisper quiet leaf shutter.
