The camera and lens I had with me when I got dragged to the other dimension. It would probably be my M4, APO 35 and whatever film I had loaded.

>>4328973
Damn, you would really bring the inferior format to an alternate dimension?

How does over or underexposing film work? If I underexpose one shot will it just look dark compared to the rest of the roll that's properly exposed? If I scan it can I bring it back up like an underexposed digital? Could similar be done when enlarging? How do I think about this practically speaking, should I just always aim for perfect exposures or don't press the shutter if it's impossible?

Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights.

-2 EI is generally how you would spot meter for shadows when shooting film if you still want to retain detail.

With 35mm you kind of have to deal with averages because you have 36 individual exposures instead of 1 sheet of 4x5+, so it can be tough. Generally speaking you would pull your film if you want to reduce contrast and try to preserve some highlights. Thankfully good quality b&w film is great at retaining highlight detail even if the negative is super dense. You just have to burn in the highlights like crazy.

Here is a somewhat extreme example of what b&w film can do.

Recipe: Contrast filter 0, 1:15 seconds, dodge bottom half for 45 seconds, 10 seconds at +4 contrast filter.

any conceptual critiques? I took some photos during the cherry bloom, an encampment showed up protesting I/P conflict and I took photos relatively in the same spot a few months later. I then returned a final time to document the aftermath. About 4 months time span. There's some inconsistency in quality because of lens/film choice.

NEW DISCOVERY. This one is obvious if you think about it, but not so obvious with our conventional thinking of ground glass.

The clear glass does not work like a ground glass! All it does is provide a precise plane(film plane) for the loupe to sit on and complete the correct light path into your eye!! The ideal precision focusing ground glass is actually just a high mag loupe that sits exactly on the film plane!!!! No need for additional glass to get in the way.

You can look through the loupe and "focus" your image by moving closer or further away from the lens plane and aligning the loupe with the lens in the front.

This could prove very useful for figuring out where your rear standard needs to go to get your image into rough focus! Nice!!

Not sure what stock do you used but it reminds me of overcooked GP3.

And well, I get your idea and angle but the photo itself doesn't transmit in any way or shape that it was a protest , its just a bunch of people standing there looking at their phone, you could have done something with composition or even look for something relatively interesting happening (People with Palestinan flags or whatever)
>>4329314
I like this one just in particular because of the glow and emptiness, but again by itself it doesn't speak about a protest. If you are going to show them all together well it will be different but by themselves they dont say anything.

>>4329318
yea the idea was to show them sequentially from top to bottom to show a passage of time so to speak. I have more from dif. spots.

>>4329313

>>4329314
this was the aftermath. the tents you see in pic 2 killed the grass.

>>4329315
does the loupe actually include ground glass?
if not, then this setup is not working how you think — the light wavefronts are still curved, and changes of focus in your eye are still changing your perceived focus
the loupe is just part of a large optical formula in that case, one long lens
the point of ground glass is to basically launder the curved wavefronts coming through the lens (finalizing the optical formual), so that no matter how your eyes focus, the image you're looking at does not change focus
you can see this with split prisms, if you're careful you can actually focus to different depths with your eye without changing the lens focus
it works as a focus aid because the prism section is so small compared to the focus screen, you don't really notice the difference
if your whole screen is clear glass it doesn't work any more
now clearly there's a reason clear glass is used in LF, but it's not because it's some kind of

Yeah I'm excited, tomorrow morning I'm expecting some scans back and it's very important film. I'm a little anxious because the quick socket release on my Linhof lens board broke on one of the shutter fires. Apparently it's a common failure-- it cracked along the seam made by the injection mold. Shame, but I bought replacement parts until I machine my own socket out of stainless. Anyway, it broke on the hike and I'm a little worried but I checked and there was no light leak but you never know until you develop (or in this case get the lab scans back first).

>>4329330
No. No ground glass at all just no glass or clear glass. I think that the eye relief of the loupe is so small it forces consistency when viewing the projected image through it, maybe.

I see what you're saying, but the thing is is that it has provided me very consistent and precise focusing that I wasn't able to achieve before. I have not tested focusing without any sort of glass to take a picture. I only noticed that the image was unchanfed when I went from looking through clear glass to no glass.

I noticed that when I put my fresnel over clear glass it gives the image a 3D effect and everything comes into focus. It looks really cool, but is only useful for rough framing.

If its Ultramax 400 then the grain is pretty much on point, but yeah the scan looks weird and contrasty as fuck.
Could also be the cameras auto mode seeing that 90% of the image are highlights and deciding that its now middle-gray, underexposing the image which could explain the zero shadow detail and blue cast.

Post the negative under a backlight/diffuse lamp/a clear sky, I wanna see the density.

>>4329322
>this was the aftermath. the tents you see in pic 2 killed the grass.
I see what you were going for, but only after this explanation.
This is something I struggle with personally. Ideally, I would like a conceptual image to speak for itself. But what how do you do that when the context is so important?
Perhaps I just wasn't looking hard enough, but now that you mentioned it I do like the before and after.
I think you did a good job

I think it is just that, other photos came out quite normal (e.g. this one with the same lake in the background just a few minutes later) so I guess in the future I'll adjust the exposure if there's a lot of bright bits it might pick up on (the sky and it reflecting in the water in the centre?)

Color balance is affected a lot by the scan, and in negative film there is no correct setting so it's "artistic choice" on the part of the intern working at the lab that day. Looks like there is some NR in the scan too so I dunno if they're the best quality.
But there are limits to what can be accomplished, which depend on the film, developing and exposure. I would check the negatives to see if they're particularly dense or thin since the colors do seem a bit off there.

Imagine pouring dye into water, a thin negative is little dye, a dense negative is a lot of dye.

When you underexpose film you get a thin negative which leads to poor shadow detail.
When you overexpose you get a dense negative which is generally preferrable, but too dense will mean you're losing highlight detail.

A perfect exposure will give you a medium dense negative with both shadow and highlight detail.

Yes there is. Color neg consists of actual dyes, each of them has their absorption spectrum, as well as both masks. So it is possible to scan a film properly, recording all the dyes and subtracting the masks.

Newbie here. I am finally getting around to replacing the foam light seals on my father's old Canon F1. I'm thinking about taking it on a trip to Hanoi, but am dreading it due to the weight of the camera.

Been looking at getting an Olympus OM-1N that has been 'restored' from Kamerastore (Eurofag). What are your experiences with it? How resistant is the OM-1N to wear and tear?

Tested the clear glass plate with a 720mm lens. Game changer for large format. Even more general work will benefit from the precise focusing. You can actually see how diffusion reduces sharpness with smaller apertures, and at longer distances you can see heat distortion.

This bottle was over 50 feet away, and to get it in perfect focus took millimeters of precision. It looks perfectly sharp in person. My phone picture makes it a bit blurry.

I'm going to use my 1060mm lens to look at the moon tonight! Should be really awesome.

Sorry if this is boring for you. I'm working on a new 8x10 wetplate, so I'll have an actual picture to share soon enough. Maybe today or tommorow.

For what it's worth I don't like the greens even after correction, they're kind of washed out and lack hue detail. That's the sort of thing you can't easily correct for and why I suspect exposure or dev problems.
>>4329522
You can scan properly to capture maximum detail sure, but then you'll have a digital negative. Converting that to a usable (positive) image is not a right or wrong process. The "correct" way is through RA-4 prints which includes color adjustments that are up to the discretion of the tech doing the printing.

bring a flash with a light diffuser or a rebate (if your flash flips up, it can be homemade with a cut out TetraPak and rubber bands)
Theres always lots of light in those events, but that also means lots of overlapped shadows

>>4329702
>Converting that to a usable (positive) image is not a right or wrong process
Yes it is. Again, each dye has it's color that can be measured and described digitally, and there's a finite range of densities that can be recorded using a scanner as well. In fact, the only way to get the true to negative colors is to scan the negative.
Printing is not the "correct" way even tho it is the one that films like colorplus, c200, portra 800 and other older stocks were designed for. When you have a pair "paper-negative", for example, it is possible for the manufacturer to choose spectral sensitivity and dyes for the paper, so that the print is very close to the image on film, but even then it's not perfect. Close enough tho, it's very easy to determine what films were intended to be printed on what paper. For example, 2015 Fuji Superia 200 has the same shitty red as CAII paper.
Today, with Fuji being the only paper manufacturer, but having almost 0 negative stocks it's almost impossible to print a photo onto the paper it should have been printed to. It's Aerochrome type of deal, paper transposes the colors in the same way. For example, it may be sensitised in such a manner that it sees every color up to 550nm as Red, and then it's cyan dye is not exactly cyan, but more on the greenish side->colors will be shifted

>>4329751
A con on film is not going to look good. I would pick different subject/setting

ok, but who gives a shit? You're not printing negatives. You're not posting negatives to instagram. You're converting them to positive images. There's no rule that the primaries and density curves on the positive have to match the negative. The rule is it has to look good, and looking good is subjective.

My friend's father is a photographer and is selling his cameras, they're all working, he's been using them until now and is selling them to buy a mirrorless. I'm thinking of buying his Nikon FM2 along with 4 lenses:
>Nikkor 24/2.8
>Nikkor 50/1.4
>Micro-Nikkor 55/2.8
>Nikkor 105/2.5
I also have two good F-mount lenses (28-200/3.8, and 70-300/4.5) that I also don't get to use because my only Nikon camera is a F50 and it's fucking huge and electronic, which I don't like (I love mechanical cameras tho)
I don't even know yet how much he's asking, but it'll probably be a reasonable price
My SLRs are a Pentax K1000 with a 50/2, and a Canon FT QL with a 50/1.4 and a 50/1.8
So it would be good to actually have a system with different focal distances
And I know FM2 are reliable and good as fuck
Should I get it?
I'm mostly shooting medium format nowadays, but it would be handy to buy a complete system and I have a bunch of 35mm film

I doubt it's supposed to look THAT brownish, and even ignoring that, the sky and clouds are slightly off. I guess you can flame me for my color correction work but here's a quick thing I did, I did a white balance off of the boat assuming it should be white then I pulled the shadows away from the greenish tint they had and I tried to pull the highlights away from the yellow/reddish tint. I wouldn't call it perfect but I think it is a bit better.

>>4330034

Om1N is definitely lighter/more compact. If you're after a more tight package then go for it. Lenses are comparatively the same or cheaper on the used market. You'll have the same issue with metering (using 1.5v cells in a 1.3v system, adjust -2 stops on your meter) but they're nice cameras. If your hands are on the smaller side it's probably perfect. I liked mine but my hands are big and I like chunkier stuff so I sold it to a friend. Absolutely a solid system though. Bumped it off tables/ledges a few times with no big issues.

There's a sort of visceral sense that comes from engaging with physical objects instead of digital abstractions. Exposing silver, pouring chemicals on it, and then having a negative you can hold in your hands and scan or print concretizes the process in a way digital doesn't. Plus that physical record can be stored such that it will last for literal generations, long after the last backed up digital copy is accidentally deleted- that tangible object just... exists. It's good for your brain to have something to do and interact with in meatspace if you're online enough to post on 4chan.

it was in mine as well, definitely a common issue. It didn't really affect shooting but if you like a clear finder it could be a sticking point. It's kind of a bitch to get it pulled apart so I never bothered cleaning it. Check with whoever you buy it from to be sure. It didn't get worse in the 8ish months I owned mine, and I shot it very often, but mileage may vary

Yeah that thing is pointless

I've never used a FED or a Zorki, but I'd imagine this is much better. I've always heard the tips that if you change shutter speed before winding the Soviet clones then they will get fucked up, but this doesn't have that issue. Its probably not good to make a habit of it but if you forget it doesn't seem to be detrimental.
Other than that its nice, clean, and it runs smooth.
It's my first rangefinder though so Im still learning. Im much more comfortable with an SLR.

Here is my latest 8x10 wetplate. I may still attempt a couple more to improve the lighting. It is tricky with only one strobe.

In person the stick has more detail, but it is quite dark, and the highlights are blown out in some of the white feathers. I was struggling with weird artifacts that were ruining my plates prior to this and a higher exposure + shorter dev time seemed to remedy them, which is partly why the lighting has been so challenging.

What's the fundamental difference between wetplate vs diy emulsion?

>>4330681
Depends what sort of diy emulsion you're talking about.

With wetplate the colloidion has the iodide and bromide, and the silver nitrate bath sensitizes the plate. It must remain wet through exposure and development or the plate will fail.

A gelatine based dry plate emulsion has all the stuff mixed together.
