Hello dear fgts! Does anyone print photos with enlarger there? Tell a bit about setup you have, favorite paper type, which easel do you use etc?

Going to print first time, just waiting a couple of things to be delivered. Planning to start with old 18x24 paper produced in 1991

How are they to clean? I almost got one back in the day but went with CanoScan flatbed. Yes it meant cleaning for every use, but at least I could clean it quickly.

Is it worth to reveal (develop) the film at home or should I just send to some company?

>>4245200
depends on how much your time and effort is worth it to you to do it at home vs sending it to someone else, for b&w I'd say it is

Get the 100mm f2.8 too, it's a great fun lens (and cheap)
it's the cheaper version of the 100m f2, heavier and bigger but a high quality lens

Another follow up question. If i do not own a digital camers is it better to just get something like the epson v600 or plustek 8200i? I only shoot 35mm black and white and my wife shoots instax. She has been wanting a way to digitize her instax to post on her computer.
I have absolutely zero interest in a digital camers and if i got one i would not use it for anything besides scanning.

epson v600 is ass for 35mm (in general all flatbed scanners are ASS for 35mm) but they are from ok to nice for medium and large format so the instax would do fine. The plustek is also a good option for 35mm

Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 or f1.4? Leica M mount.

>>4245248
I've got 2 30m waiting to be bulk rolled. Do it
>>4245396
40mm f1.2 AND f1.4. Be a man. But seriously if weight isn't an issue for how long you are carrying your camera, get the 1.2. I got the 40 1.2 and bought the 1.4 because I'm a skeleton manlet and would rather carry around the 1.4 for street

>>4245415
Do you like the 40 over the 35?
Weight isnt a problem, sometimes I carry my RZ if im feeling brave.

>>4245416
I love 40. Never used a 35 or 50 though. I love being different but it's seriously a fucking beautiful lens and focal length. I go out and shoot for hours with only a wrist strap. I once shot a 6 hour event with just my Leica and no straps at all, and the 40 1.2 lol. But yeah I just find 40mm is super natural to me

just some snapshits to check my rangefinder calibration (result: it focuses behind where it should)
>>4245346
do you have a phone with a camera? instax scans tend to be disappointing (they are always soft even with good lenses) anyway so maybe phone pictures is good enough. 35mm scans on flatbed are not great so if you want to scan instax+35mm you'd need to get both for good results

For b+w absolutely, with rodinal it's so easy and you can get your pictures in hours instead of weeks. If you don't have a tank already there is some expense I suppose.
The problem with color (and even worse for slide) is the chemicals go bad so quickly and are expensive so you don't want to mix up a fresh batch just for a roll or two. So you end up saving rolls up and not getting your pictures any sooner. But it does give you some more options, like remjet films.

I rate them brazil/10.
Only the colours in the landscape photos appeal to me.
Only the 6x6s are of acceptable technical quality.
I don't even know what you're doing in camera to get such poor results on 35mm, but you are then compounding that with your terrible scans, and making it even worse by leaving the frame borders on.

Canon FD lenses are sometimes better than EF ones but they're peeping level differences mostly. The EOS is the superior machine but I'd recommend the newest you can find instead of the 650. You can get an Elan II for like 30.

On an unrelated topic, do any of you have experience with handheld light meters? Specifically with soviet ones like a Sverdlovsk-4, I want one for times where I am shooting with my medium format camera, I don't trust the one of my phone the camera its too shit to take an accurate reading. My main concern is that seems they are only on GOST but for what I get its not that hard to convert to ASA/ISO (Like GOST 90 = ASA 100) just wondering if they are any good.

I have an Omega B8 enlarger with a 50mm lens for 35mm and it works well. I just started printing too so I've only used glossy foma RC paper and ilford's PQ universal developer so far. I don't have an easel yet or a grain focuser or filters or anything fancy but it's pretty straightforward to just line it up and eyeball the focusing. it's not like I'm selling prints so they don't need to be perfect while I'm learning. I use a piece of glass from a picture frame to hold everything down. very basic setup so far but want to get more into it as time goes on.

Home brewers, do you use a sous vide? I've seen some say you can use it in a bucket or something, and keep the chemical containers in it to have them at the specific temperatures. I've avoided developing because mixing cold and warm water to hit specific temperatures and keep it at it seems like a royal pain in the ass, but this might be a decent way of doing it

Aperture controls how much flash goes onto the film, shutter speed won't do shit.
A slower shutter will only let in more ambient light into the shot, the flash is so fast even 1/500 is too slow to affect flash light. Make sure you are shooting within the sync speed of the camera, there is usually a little flash icon on the shutter dial or something.

Easy mode, get a TTL flash if your camera supports it ($$$$)

Easier mode is getting something like a Metz, set the ISO + aperture on the flash and shooting, the flash has a sensor on it and cuts the flash early depending on distance. Works with literally any camera with a sync port.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY60Ifpvxrw

Hard mode is getting a light meter with a manual flash and fucking around that way, I guess you can use a digital camera do a test but thats fucking slow.

I have a F4S and a Nikon Sb-800 so I should be able to do ttl sync stuff. I'd just like to use it so I'm not stuck with using 200-800 speed film indoors and turning on every fucking light for 100 speed and less.
I'd also like to give shooting slide film w/flash a try

Have you had any issues drying RC papers? I just tried to printing on old FB paper. It is "waving" a bit when drying but to be honest this is not the biggest problem of that paper lol
I don't have any fancy stuff either, but damn, I think a darkroom timer is a must have after my first attempt at printing last night.

Going to try Foma RC this weekend but timer first

does anyone have vintage Nikkor recommendations here?

Do you suppose 400ISO is fast enough for an awards ceremony?

>>4246148
An indoor one, I want to take photos of someone on stage while I'm in the audience

>>4246148
No it is not enough. How much light on the stage? What is the fastest tele-lens you have?

>>4246010
Mechanical, full manual.

>>4246150
I don't even know yet how the lighting will be. I would probably be bringing a f/3.5-f/4.5 28-85mm lens. I don't think it's a very large ceremony.

If it's too dim I'll probably just get a photo of this person before/after the awards in sunlight.

>>4246157
I guess it will be better to push cinestil/portra800/lomo800 to 1600 or 3200 if you are going to color. Will have contrasty look but valid anyway

>>4246158
I only have 400 speed film in color and B&W so since this is tomorrow I'm just gonna have to make do, I guess.

>>4246139
you can shoot any iso with flash, but you will blind everyone you take photos of, try and do 1/30 indoor to get more ambient if you are feeling brave

>>4246159
i would do the b&w at 3200. f4.5 3200iso and 1/50th is exposing for EV5. if its very bright you can go higher shutter speed. i can shoot 400 color indoors but thats cause i use a f1.2 or f1.4.

Anyone willing to participate?

I'm kinda liking these catlabs aerocolor colors
Not so much the nasty bloom effect. I guess my lens must be dirty though it doesn't look bad. I've found that pec pads do a terrible job of cleaning, they just smear the grease and dirt around rather than remove it.

>>4246180
Mechanical = you wind the film and cock the shutter, not a motor.
Full manual means you can take full control over the settings.

Get whatever you like, dont let elitists steer your decision.
Plastic bodied cameras are nice because they're light and they don't cost very much.

Metal bodied cameras are nice because they feel good in the hand and (generally) will take a harder bump than plastic cameras.

pic rel was the best choice for traveling (as tourist) I have ever made. Small, weights nothing, smart and fast, 1/4000. At the same time traveling with manual focus camera was more complicated in all aspects.

You can cross-thread while loostening something if it had a dented or dirty thread when you tightened it. It depends which side of the flank is damaged and how... you can go right past it no problem when tightening, then get stuck when loosening. Especially if you're wrenching on it hard trying to take it off. Going back and forth will straighten the crest of the thread.

>>4246600
Well yeah, but a lens is a lot more delicate. Threads work the same way in either direction... a left-hand thread is just a right-hand thread being used from the other end. There's really no difference between tightening and loosening until the very end when you torque, and most cross-threading doesn't even happen during torquing. It happens during normal tightening/loosening where you're just moving thread and the loads are identical. It's just that people expect increasing resistance while tightening so don't realize and stop in time. People stop immediately when meeting resistance during loosening though, because it's obvious that something is wrong. And what do they do? Tighten again to look and see the problem. Also threads are generally protected by the fastener so it's less common to run into when removing, but it can still happen. I've had to fix machine heads plenty of times due to this, and it's usually caused by grit or corrosion because people think Loctite is more important than anti-seize.

Even if it isn't cross-threaded and is just corroded, the same applies. Always try tightening a bit if loosening doesn't work. I'd try heating it with a hairdryer as well for expansion. Don't break lenses with brute force if you can help it. Also you're more fun when you aren't drunk.

ive got some cinema film from reflex lab with remjet,
anyone tried removing the remjet, drying the film then shooting it?
not really sure how im going to do it yet, i guess load the film in the dev tank, remove remjet with soda and somehow attempt to tape the film back together in the canister.

>>4246713
I've done some thinking on this matter, though my intent would be to de-remjet from bulk rolls and respool into 100' cans for future use. Removing the remjet is not that hard, it just takes soaking in washing soda water and rubbing. The hard part is drying it afterwards so it doesn't stick together or mold. If you have a bona-fide darkroom maybe this is less of a problem since you can just hang it up for a day or two. You may also have trouble telling if you've got it clean or not in the dark.
At the end of the day your goal is probably to convince a lab to dev your film, and I don't know what the bar is for that. If you just pull the film out, scrub it and wind it back in, there will be some remjet remaining at the very end of the roll. And even if you remove it from the roll entirely is the lab going to believe you? At the end of the day I think home dev or whole spools at a time is the only good solution.
>load the film in the dev tank, remove remjet with soda
I haven't had any luck with it just coming off due to chemicals. I have to rub it underwater after finishing dev even with soda prebath and significant agitation. I assume in ECN2 there is some sort of scrubber roller that takes it off.

>>4246719
I feel like if you're gonna put that much effort into removing remjet why not just develop yourself

>>4246730
yeah or just buy film that doesn't have remjet on it
You can get movie film cheap and in bulk sometimes which could justify it. But I imagine the labs would throw your reusable canisters away so you'd have to buy new ones every time. My goal with the respooling idea would be to sell most of a full roll de-remjetted so I could pretend that buying a shitload of film is a good investment. And the only non-remjet bulk color film I know of is nc400 and it kinda sucks at least based off the sample images. But I'm not gonna do it, just daydream about it. Probably get fucked by cinestill if I tried anyway.

this is more of a theoretical question. lets say i have a film that has a very large latitude, say HP5, where the density curve is very straight for a wide exposure. if what i capture only exists in the linear part of the curve, does it matter *where* on the curve that is? see pic attached, if i have a frame taken where EV sits in the red zone, another in the blue zone
i understand a denser negative is better etc but in this case no shadows or highlights are blocked. if i was scanning these two on a home setup, will i end up with the exact same photo after adjusting for it being denser? or will the denser one have more detail somewhere?

>>4246745
The main thing for me is that scanners have more difficulty with unusually thin or dense negatives so as you get further from the density the scanner was designed for you may get more digital noise or banding.
I'm sure there are differences in the shape and size of the film grain too but I don't know much specific.

I bought a Mamiya 645. What am I in for?

NTA but it's not that hard
Whether or not it's worth it depends on how much you shoot or if you have other uses for the chemicals, because normally you buy much more of them than you'd need for a single batch.
OTOH for color stuff it's worth it especially at low shooting volumes, since the pure, dry color dev keeps much better than the kits you can buy

Did anyone here have good experiences with drug store film development?
Pretty much everyone I've asked told me that the results were terrible

very very dumb question: if i took a photo with no lens on while there was film inside, will the light have fucked up the frames i already took since the light would have bounced around on the inside (rather than it being projected in a single direction from a lens). i did this while inside my room with the light on, not outside

>>4247113
>rather than it being projected in a single direction from a lens
lens projection is round and goes way around the rectangle frame, as long as you didn't expose for minutes long you shouldn't have anything

How come my 120 fomapan rolls sometimes have this circle on the last frame?

Can I do something to avoid it, or is it just a part of the foma experience?

>instamatic
Ultra cheap, piss easy, easily manufacturable. Then the japanese p&s flooded the market

>>4247318
is it there when you use different cameras ?
Might be a slight light leak

>>4247318
That looks like the perfect size for a frame counter witness hole.

Do you leave your film on the last frame for a long time before winding it fully onto the takeup spool?

>>4247324
Doesn't seem to be camera related, and none of my cameras have that circular red window frame counter hole (or whatever it's called) on the back.

Would be a strange light leak too, and it only appears on foma rolls

>>4247325
I usually wind it instantly onto the takeup spool

it's easy to use so according to this general this camera is absolutely shit and useless
this general will tell you to buy a camera from 1965

Anon, Luigi Colani is German and that's not even his real name

Got the filter off, but it turns out the lens needs repairs as well. Fuck my life.

any camera made after 1960 is shit, yes.

>>4247255
Its a cheap, stupidly easy to use (cart loading) camera back in the day. Trips & EE's were a bit more premium.
I had a instamatic 33 (126 film) as a kid back in the 80's. Used to shoot school trips,holidays etc

The F4's a hidden gem. The Manual Focus fetishists won't touch it because autofocus, and the Gear Queers usually go for the 5 and 6. I should get one some time as my first autofocus.

>>4247470
Yeah I got it just because I acquired a large amount of Nikon AF lenses practically for free, even the body I got for a steal. Might try an F5 in the future to go with VR lenses.

>>4246512
>ried using a dedicated filter wrench, but damn near disassembled the lens in the process.
damn, that sucks. Maybe a solvent or penetrating oil would help.

>>4247083
lol

>>4247088
Drug stores don't have minilabs anymore. They just send it out to a shitty service. If it were still 1995 it'd be fine for casual photos and snapshots but sadly it is not.

>>4247324
how could a light leak make a black mark on the photo though?

Can anyone tell me how much film and processing costs in Japan? I might go on a trip there and I just want to have a rough idea. Is film pretty easily available? Will the security workers at their airports oblige a request for a hand check of film when coming in and flying out? What types of film are available? And do they have 1 hour photo type places?

Any info would be appreciated anons

reposting a pic I saved from a thread here some time ago

how do you manage to get chromabs on black and white film?
very implessive

Velvia 50 or 100; who's the boss?

>>4247577
dunno, might have been the lens I scanned with.

Velvia 100 is quite bad. It blocks up much faster in the shadows and leans more green than velvia 50's more appealing magenta.
Velvia 50 > Velvia 100F > Velvia 100

The extra latitude of 100 is always welcome, and I honestly think it's sharp enough.
I pretty much get whole rolls of 100 back with usable images.
Velvia 50 is nowhere near as forgiving, honestly if you're shooting in light that's too harsh you should simply put the camera away. BUT... it is next level when it works.
Pic related, Velvia 100 (no idea if "f" or not) in harsh light. *camera may have used fill flash, idk

vs what you should expect from Velvia 50.
You'll note the sky is blown out and a shadow cast under open sky is un-recoverable in the one frame.
I metered off the lit area of the hedge, for new players this is a cheat hack for metering in challenging scenes; take a reading off green grass in the same light as your subject and you'll have essentially your incident reading/middle grey reflected.
As you can see, RVP50 will still fuck you.

These are bad, plantation pine is ugly.
Are we to assume that you used a Wista 45 and FP4 for these?
Congratulations on getting any contrast at all out of FP4, honestly the only photos I've ever had from it that I liked were portraits and/or underexposed.
The mossy knob is sharp though.

What are some resources on developing black and white film at home. I am confused on how yo maintain temperature and how to get the chemicals to the proper temp.

>>4248025
1. put water in the fridge
2. dilute the developer
3. develop
4. ???
5. profit

you don't need a chemistry degree to do this

I like my camera but the fact that it has a center weighted whole frame averaging meter and no spot meter causes me pain.

>>4248025
For B&W negative only developer should be as close as possible to right temperature. And its not as critical as with color. Put the bottles in a tub of water in right temperature for a while before starting.
Other chemicals and washing water should not be in hugely different temperature because sudden temperature change will cause reticulation.

>>4247577
shitty nikon AF-d glass. canon FD hell even FL MOGS the shit out of that trash

>>4248025
b+w is usually done at 20deg C,
put all your chems in bottles / mixing tubes in a pot and add warm water from a kettle, eventually they will all balance out the same temp, if its too hot just wait it out.

this is really helpful for knowing the temp/time/dilution to use with your film and developer https://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.php

>>4248025
Just buy a thermometer and measure the developer stock temperature, then add necessary amount of correct temperature water relative to the stock temperature and wanted dilution.

E.g. if you develop in 20 celsius, and your stock is your room temperature (like 22 celsius), and you're making 1:1 dilution, you would add 18 celsius water to it that you measure from the tap.

Maintaining isn't necessary imo unless you're developing for an hour in a sauna or freezer, but if you'd want to be careful maybe have a big pot of water in dev temp and put the tank there in between rotations

>>4245134
Only losers sneed at Foma, everyone knows all panchromatic B&W stocks are the same fucking silver crystals in an emulsion. What changes is the base. Kodak, Ilford, Fuji and Kentmere are literally Foma on different bases.

>>4248117
by that logic everyone should be shooting Shanghai GP3 only.

t. I do

>>4248120
Pssst... Shangai is Foma too
