Analog film photography and cameras

Prices are a little higher out here, and multiplied by the amount shots I would like to take, well...

fuuu, was out last night and must have got some condensation on the rear element.

Too much info.

[QUOTE=ltc;3371888]I just found this which I took last year on a 35mm Olympus Pen, split frame jobby.

+1=1/2+1/2, double good.
what's the film, what's the spots?

cheap Konica Big Mini here

Latest tumblrrrrrr.

Right, same photo - two different scans (from the same place?).

This is why finding the right lab/tech is so important.

I am confused!

Sometimes it's just a matter of giving them a once over on a computer and making a few adjustments rather than the Noritsu we use. Sometimes things look fine on the Noritsu and then shit when you open them on the computer.

Also in other news, I just got myself this Toyo 45a
and now have a Graflex Speed Graphic with a 135mm Lens that I have no use for if anyone is interested in it before it heads to ebay?

Ballpark figure for the speed graphic?

Will be interested in what you sell for it, sounds the same as my camera.

Ballpark figure for the speed graphic?

Somewhere around the £100 mark.

Cheers! Here's some more, hope you like them.

Last two are top notch.

the football field is perfect for me.
though i never play football.

Last four are cracking.

Got a couple of back yesterday:

I've got one of these i would like to sell, i've seen them sell on ebay for £140-180

Shutter fires accurately, aperture and shutter adjustments all good, focusing is smooth, minimal dust within the lens etc

£80 posted?

Edit: offers are welcome, otherwise i'll be putting this on ebay next week

~~More RB67 problems.

Now when I set the flash terminal to x (for electronic flashes) rather than M (for Magnesium flashes) the flash doesn't fire at all.

Any ideas? We checked the flash (Vivitar 285) with a DSLR and it fired fine.~~

Fixed it, at the expense of 4 frames. FFS.

Rtfm?

Tracking back a bit but amey Id recommend getting a film loading bag so you can load film on to the reel wherever you are.

Just keep practising with cheap c41 rolls.

Not too bad this time of year - in warmer weather I have trouble with hot hands leading to perspiration & damp where things need to be absolutely dry.

Also leads to difficulties with hoefla's suggestion of starting the wind at head height.

Ideal world would have you with a dark room and a changing bag. Mostly I carry a changing bag against the occasions when a 'classic' (irony?) suffers mechanical issues, allowing the back to be opened away from home without spoiling a part exposed film.

Havind said that, a bag is smaller and cheaper than a room, and avoids the need to shout at people because they don't understand that light is faster than them opening and shutting a door with a sign on the handle.

Keep practising...

just noticed there's an M6 body for sells over in Classifieds, if anyone's looking...

^ I don't have nearly as much experience with film dev as a lot of people on this thread, and none teaching others. YMMV etc.

That doesn't make your opinion of any less value - if there was one 'right' answer we'd all be doing the same!

I've had students argue in favour of pulling holding the entire film out and holding everything up. I don't doubt it works, but I've also had to intervene when one elbows another in the head - accidentally, of course. Different circumstances to working on your own.

Then there's always the possibility that I'm talking rubbish, was never any good as a teacher, and the best approach is to try different things, absorb the cost, and find what works for you...
