Analog film photography and cameras

New to the club this week with a om30 picked up for £50 with afew lens and a flash.
Film en route and surprisingly expensive batteries installed 👍🏻

Welcome to the club!
That's a nice camera, enjoy!

Nice pics @YeahNerdz - think both those films suit the "fresh" light really well.

Cheers, lots to figure out! Hopefully I can get some good shots. Most likely shoot in semi auto mode at first so I only have to think of the aperture and not my shutter speed.

Anyone know anywhere that does biiiig prints for cheap? Doesnt have to be super high quality, A1 size

They did an a0 print for me that was £18 (collected).

I’ve been meaning to get more massive prints done ever since but never got round to it.

A few festive ones from the M6. I am enjoying this camera!

A few Ektachrome shots I’ve only just had developed. You really do have to nail the exposure with slide film!

Beautiful set

Wow! Absolutely love these.

1 and 4 and spot on!

really nice

Thanks :) I’m waiting on another 6 rolls or so (not Ekta), will see if there’s any more worth sharing!

fuji pro 400h is kill

that little niche of wedding photographers who love its overexposed look are going to be unhappy

Aw fs I’m gonna need to stock up, another film Fuji has killed. Gonna be left shooting portrait at this rate with another film I shoot done

I previously sold all my lenses (and Pentax K5) and now only use an FA 43mm F1.9 ltd and an FA 77mm F1.8 ltd on my Pentax KX. I usually carry one in my bag and keep the other on the camera. I've always wanted to try the pancake lens but might get one for my girlfriend's MX, as the 50mm makes it a bit chunky.

I never understood that film, just too cold/blue for me. Weird tones.

Jesus fucking Christ loading 120 onto the developing spool is fucking shit.
Took me literally over an hour.
The film is no doubt fucked. Reckon it was moisture left on the spool from last time paired with sweating hands made the film sticky enough for the advancing mechanism to work.

Are stainless steel spools any better? Are they compatible with Paterson tanks?

Are stainless steel spools any better?

no way

Are they compatible with Paterson tanks?

yes but no pls

Spools must be dry, get the AP type with the big guide flaps.

If you fail to get 120 on first time,stop.

Give it 10 minutes.

Cut the leader again.

Try again.

Good luck :)

Also, developing the first roll from this beauty tonight.

Still find it hard to load film into this camera, any tips?
