Analog film photography and cameras

Yesterday was a good day !
I collect an old darkroom meant to be throw in a bin. 6 enlargers, a very big light table, a Jobo ATL for color development and a lot of accessories, all in boxes and barely used. With the equipment I already have, I could open two or three labs, now :DD Oh yeah, I forgot about the parisian rents...

Filmdev.... Think they should be renamed Graindev.

Or Filmdevbutcrapscans

Just brilliant

This is excellent, looks like a great place to ride too. Slightly reminiscent of where I used to skate.

That looks class!

When I read your comment I thought "how the hell is that like a skate spot?!" but then seeing the pic I see what you mean! That looks like a fun set up, I miss riding wood a bit.

Nice thing to have hidden in the back of a drawer

Now he should put the Hasselblad there so in a few years time when 35mm gets boring
heyyyy look what we have here!

You joke but this does happen. Although after years of selling things on I'm left with the Hasselblad, a few 35mm Minoltas & Canon 5D Mk1. Between them they pretty much scratch every itch.

Well for now have fun with the Minolta!

I bet that Rokkor lens is amazing!

Yeah it's good, & reassuringly weighty. Both the Rokkor 58mm f1.2 & 55mm f1.2 are great and largely under the radar what with Nikon & Canon as being the go-to brands. I sold it on recently as it's wasted on me, blame the Bechers and the Dusseldorf School of Photography but I shoot almost exclusively on f22/16.

1st shot is spectacular

Blimey. Was that box speed HP5 ?
I've just had some dev/scan back from Palm of Tri-X pushed to 1600 that had less grain than that

Yep. I think so anyway. It was very bright in Spain when I was there so can’t imagine I’d have pushed it...

Really enjoying my EOS 300 and pancake for walking around New York. I can walk to work in about forty minutes and go through Central Park, and you can just hold it in your hand, much like a point and shoot, but because of the hand grip, I find it much comfier to carry than a point and shoot. Not a great fan of the button interface though.

..happy to hear!

Oh and that one I've been taking at least 3 photos of (it's parked at the same spot for years), but this is the first one i really like..

Editing these I realize I really miss my XA.

And now for something completely different:

This is what a Ricoh R1 shoots like

And this is what a Ricoh R1 shoots like in (24mm) "WIDE" mode (standard is 30mm)
