Analog film photography and cameras

Thankfully inside and reasonably dark, shut fairly rapidly, so fingers crossed most will come out. Thanks

Another from Stockholm.

that last one is great
will develop some delta3200 tomorrow, lets see how it comes out

Delta 3200 is amazing stuff. Just shot it for the first time recently.

Also visited this place, Fotografiska and it was fantastic.

Have to admit my experience with Delta 3200 is limited (just a few rolls, years ago).
I guess the point is to somewhat deliver a result with not a lot of grain at an ISO that high.
My shots usually looked a lot like your christmas shots in the shadows (first and second one you posted, especially the second, when you look at the clouds) - somewhat wishy-washy, neither here nor there. It actually does look a bit like bad high-ISO noise reduction in digital cameras. Do not want.
The "Fotografiska" ones look much better in that regard I think, they have character.
Still I'd like to see this shot just with HP5 pushed two stops (I heard Delta 3200 is really just 1600 anyway), just for comparison.

Somebody on here said that winter is bleak and that I should "tell the story", so here you go.
Parts of mattresses (just when I though I was out they pull me back in), and a camouflage Audi for good measure.
Oh by the way this is Foto Impex' own "CHM 400" shot at 800 and developed in Diafine.

This is the CHM 400 as well.
I guess I'll shoot it one more time when there's a lot of light.
It looks like the new APX 400 does.
It certainly isn't bad film, especially for the price, but I'm not falling in love yet.

Do/will filmdev push film? I've got some 400 film that I'd like to shoot 800 over the dark Christmas days.
Edit: just emailed. Will post for reference.

Can do it

Ah, bit of confusion here, all my shots on this page are HP5 pushed to 1600 and developed in DDX.

...ah!
Thank you for clarifying - this explains why they look better than the Delta 3200 ones from last page!

Loving @mi7rennie gig and Fotografiska shots

MJUii owners, what speed film are you using? Mine is missing focus a lot, which I know is it probably shooting wide open most of the time. I'm about to run a roll of 400 in it to see if that sharpens things up a bit

There was a link to an article posted in here a while back which explained how the Mju-II auto exposure system actually choses apertures.
Long story short: it's hardly ever f2.8.

CHM 400. This Kentmere 400.

I like it. I usually process pushed a stop and shoot it at anything from 100 to 800. It gets more contrast, less detail and looks sort of retro (lofi). Sort of silvery blacks where tmax would be black. Everything bw on my insta uses this.

The Audi shot. Subtle weirdness (odd shapes and perspective). Like!

The mju 2 shoots at f2.8 unless it absolutely has to stop down. I guess 400 iso in daylight would get it to stop down (depends what it’s max shutter speed is - I can’t remember).

They focus using 3 area ‘boxes’ horizontally. According to Olympus you can prefocus (focus on something equal distance away, like you would use the spot meter) but I call bullshit because i’ve shot maybe a hundred of these ... and i’m pretty sure they don’t. They’re great, but not good for fast/street shooting.

it's hardly ever f2.8.

:-0

I thought the exact opposite

A gif says a thousand words innit

That gif makes it very clear indeed!

Weird, I was sure I read about the issue and it boiled down to the consensus that it doesn't make sense it's equipped with a 2.8 lens albeit hardly ever opening up to it (to keep things sharper)..

I stand corrected!
Thanks for posting this!

I’ve read of a large aperture-lens compact that does that ... not sure which.

Mju2s are wicked little cameras for portraits (f2.8, spot meter, fill flash). Not amazing for street (tiny viewfinder, auto everything). I’m finding the L35AF is rad for gigs and street, and that was on your recommendation @ooooooohhhhhhh so cheers for that.

Everything bw on my insta uses this.

What is your instagram handle?

Nothing new there for a long while ... but have been shooting again recently and will get processing in January.
