Analog film photography and cameras

This is Fuji Superia 400 shot on 200 by the way and the cars are Fuji Industrial 100 shot at 100.

The cars are spot on.

I've been practicing

Finally got all of my film developed, a years worth of photos in one go was pretty nice

Yea, whenever I see these I think of

Seeing that makes me a bit sad... My youngest daughter's the same age as I was at the Wende. I remember how happy my dad was that the world was coming closer & so we wouldn't inherit the shitty paranoia of his upbringing... Wish I could feel the same now

Saw a video of this in use with CineStill Df96 developer yesterday. Made at home dev look insanely easy.

Just cause I’d like to try one, does anyone have a recommendation for a relatively cheap rangefinder that’s still decent? QL17 still a good choice?

interesting!

yep,
Canon QL28 is also good, as are yashica electro, ricoh 500g, konica C35, Vivitar 35ES, minolta hi-matic.

Some of the old yashicas (minister, lynx, etc) are also excellent and dirt cheap if you're any good at sunny-16-guesswork or happy to use your phone to meter

So so good.

Makes me wonder what's going on there.

"You don't have the balls"
"I will jump, just give me a second"
"Admit it, you're scared"

Nice photo by the way!

Like this!

I've been interested in Lab Box since day one. I didn't back it because I got a bit burnt by kickstarter around that time. Super interested. I want home C41 and E6.

The QL17 (and a most of the Japanese 70s rangefinders like the Oly SP) go bad eventually with heavy use. They were build a bit light compared to Pro SLRs. Something like a Canon P is better imho. They have nice large viewfinders which you can calibrate, the 50 1.8 is sharp in a classic kinda way, there are quite a few around, and they're really well made. No meter and the patch isn't the best but it's fine.

Like a lot of old gear these things are going up in value so you can't go wrong... unless it goes wrong (or becomes somehow unserviceable, sat-on, dropped off a bike or boat, left on a car roof in a service station before rejoining a motorway etc*). So... TL:DR: go mechanical, something that functions without electronics. Go 1960s.
