hello! i am new to this thread.
anyone who do street photography? also anyone shooting with leica?
i have leica m3, hasselblad 503cxi, ricoh gr1v, polaroid 360 -
Hasselblad 503CXi
Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f2.8
Kodak Portra 400 -
^^deserted classrooms, my favourite. lovely colours and I do like those shadows on the floor. I can't decide about the shallow DoF, one minute I love it, the next I'm thinking it would have been better with more in focus.
I have an M3 but I can't say I do it justice. I'm lucky to be able to use it, that's all.

I found this interesting and worth a watch if you havent seen it already.

if anyone interested, I was digging through some old Practical Photography mags and found some film reviews both colour slide/print and B&W. I can scan them and put them up?
-
...can anybody tell me where these wiggly stripes come from?
like below the bulb.
on others, there's a lot of specks too, like on the bottom right on this one, but all over.
it's not dust, it's like mini spots of dried fixer or something...(crop of scan of portra 400 developed at 'pro' lab. negs have been strongly warped this time, too)
-
Water streaks. I used to get them after washing the negs and dumping them in the dryer. Too hot a temperature dries the water as opposed to evaporate it. Same when I ran them through a machine. If they're trying to save time by speeding up the process. I guarantee they're upping the temp.
It's what I used to do anyway.Great pic btw. Digging those colours. Tasty bokeh too.
-
Thanks for the info.
Yea I guess they were speeding up, girl said they had a lot to run through that day.Love the way coulours turned out this time too; it's just scanned with the 'old' (Portra NC) profile of Silverfast with no adjustements at all -
first time I got to shoot a Pentax-M 135mm 3.5 on the MX... looking foreward to do more with that lens.
Also shot some with the 28mm 3.5 of the same series; very much contrast and punchy as well! -
Went shopping for an ME Super or a Minolta SRT 101 yesterday. Came back with a Minolta X300 for half the price of the ME super. My only regret is not buying the full set of lenses to go with it. Loving it so far, will post pics when I have them. Wanted it as a car/posing camera.
Had enough of compacts. Will be putting all mine on ebay soon.

Minor tinkering - painted over 1 mark in red, copied and pasted, moved to 'underline' a different mark, repeat until enough to spot a pattern.
It looks to me as though many of the white lines are repeated, i.e. same shape and size, allowing a bit for the lo-res version lifted from the page. Would force drying marks duplicate in this way? I used to have difficulties with water marks after rinsing and drying when living in a hard water area, but never in a repeated pattern.
Can you inspect the emulsion surface of the negative for physical damage? Placing it on an abrasive surface and moving it slightly might produce a pattern of similar shaped scratches at all the points of contact? If so, it could be carelessness at the processing lab...

I worked in a high street lab for a long time, and this looks distinctly like roller damage to me – the rollers in a lot of industrial C41 machines get progressively harder as the film moves through the machine, with the last being a rock hard rubber squeegey (sp?) before the film goes through the drying chamber. These squeegeys (sp?) are usually rinsed daily, but are often not. When not, they accumulate chemical build ups that cause the the wrinkle and perish, often leaving uniform areas of wetness or chemically smearing on films...
In short, change labs!
-
Thank you too for the feedback!
I understood in that particular ('pro') lab, they still do a sort of developing (don't know the english word, sorry),
where the film is not transported through a machine via rollers / does not have contact with parts of the machine;
it hangs freely in the chemicals etc. (german word for all this is "Hängeentwicklung").
No idea how the drying process takes place in this method - if there are squeegies of some sort at all.And yea I'd maybe change labs, but there are not that much left that have like a 2 hour turnaround...

hmm how curious. I know the process you mean, hangers on racks whereby films are striped of their canisters in zero light conditions. Also curious that it's not on the whole roll. Were the damaged frame at the leader end or the tail end of the roll?
Maybe in-camera?
