Analog film photography and cameras

You need to take account for recipricosity failure, some films suffer much more than others over long exposure times.

My thinking on film long exposures is that you can safely double your calculated exposure time .i.e. 1 stop over and get good results.

Single-digits (OM-1/2/3/4) OM cameras are a system. You can change the screens. These were the smallest slrs at one point, all the Pentax mx, lx, super-a etc were small too.

I think the Pentax 50mm lenses were probably a bit sharper then the OM coated lenses.

Just back from my holiday/project I was away shooting.

Only shot film and done 38 rolls in just over 3 weeks, super excited to get my stuff back and crack on with planning what im doing with it.

Dreading paying for it tho.

38 rolls

wow

Damn. Make sure to send it somewhere that does bulk processing discount. The danger of a point and shoot ey.

Took 80 rolls of Portra 400 for it expected to shoot about 50 ish. Mixture between 120 and 35.

My 24mm and 135mm lenses turned up. Having only ever used a 50mm lens on an SLR... damn. I’ve been missing out!

Mixture between my M6, T2(which has now developed a odd fault) and my Bronica SQA 6x6, got a reasonable discount with processing.

F me that’s a lot of film. RIP Contax. Nice paperweight :-(

I know, its a weird fault as it still works but doesn't return the lense to the body all the time and the film counter is showing half the digits. Fuckin annoying tbh but expected with these now and running a risk with these expensive but excellent hipster P&S.

Just got a load of films back that I had been hanging around half finished in a few different cameras.

You're single-handedly saving film photography!

Would rep.

I wish I could save my bank account, its having a fuckin heart attack at my rate of speculating to never accumulate. :(
