Kodak Moment EditionPlease post film photos, talk about film photography, film gear like cameras, film stocks, news, and tips/tricks in this thread.Also talk about darkroom practices, enlargers, photo paper, techniques like dodging/burning, tools, and equipment related to enlarging, developing, and printing.Thread Question: What is the oldest camera or lens that you shot with? Would you use it on a daily basis?Previous thread: >>4497863
>>4502204I was in a similar situation where I tried learning photography with a camera that's fully manual, so I can "learn it properly from the ground up". And guess what happened? I was immediately overwhelmed and didn't enjoy the process at all. A few years later I tried it again with a slightly more modern camera that at least offered auto exposure and some more small qol features, and then I actually regularly went out and took some pictures and gradually made progress while reading some books on the side and doing things more and more manually as time went on and my experience increased.tldr: use the Minolta and learn to have fun before trying to do things the hard way, but don't get stuck in your comfort zone eitherWhich specific models are you using?
Picked up a crusty Kodak Six-20 Target Hawk-Eye (quite a mouthful for such a basic camera lmao) it was 4 eurobucks and thought it would be a fun fix up project, it's a cardboard housing camera, the lenses are seriously foggy, the mirrors in the viewfinder flop around in the housing but it appears to be all complete and in one piece, shutter works but I want to see if I can find a way to clean and speed it up a little.Should be a fun learning project.

>>4501524Buy EPSON and leave it on 24/7. That will keep the heads from clogging. But don't let it sit too long.
>>45022557.8 too much green
>>4502220Those have movie mode on the main mode dial though.I like the solution of a separate stills/movie switch so you can stay in the exposure mode you are in and just switch between stills and video.This configuration seems to be more and more common on new cameras, so maybe I'll just wait for newer OM's.
>>4502318I might be retarded because I never shoot video but can't you just tap the record button and it'll start doing video with the settings of the mode you're currently in?
>>4502343On my 2014 Panasonic the record button reverts to a basic P mode regardless of the exposure mode it's in, but I guess other brands, or even newer Lumix, could do it so it respects the mode dial.
What would be a good DSLR camera to start learning with? I'd preferably like to get something that I can use for anything and have for years as I don't want to put a TON of money into.Preferably under $2,000High quality build, no janky bullshit that's going to randomly stop working for no reasonHigh MP full frame, preferably over 30, ideally closer to 60 so I have more flexibility with the end resultSomething with add-on options like larger batteries and flashers, etcI'm open to any recs, feel free to share photos you've taken along with the camera you suggest, I'd like to get a feel for what it can do.
>>4502295He's saying you need better glass with a 5DIV because it's higher resolution and since the D800 is lower resolution, you won't run into that "problem"Which is retarded
>>4502303>>4502300>>4502295Oh fuck I thought it was the 5D SR. I'm sorry it was late and I was super tired.Still I would pick the D800 because that sensor is something magical and I have very good experience with it. Canon makes good sensors but that 36MP sensor simply tops everything else, colors are super rich, noise performance is very good and at ISO 400 it becomes invariant.
>>4501611Don't get a DSLR. It's basically obsolete tech and every manufacturer is moving away from it. Get a mirrorless Sony/Nikon instead. Fuji is fun too, but they charge too much for their film simulations and you said you didn't want to waste money.
>>4501654Because beginners don't know about MILCs.
>>4502345mirrorless nikon system isn't mature yet, sony ui needs work and battery life isn't that great. the next round of nikon should be significantly better though
I am going to buy one as soon as they hit the market in early Novemeber. I hope I get the 1987 edition. It's fire. Which one are you hoping to score?You are going to be getting one right /p/?You aren't gonna be a contrarian try hard no Charmera /p/haggot are you /p/? ISHYDDT
Things have changed very little...
>>4470128if this or the g6 had RAW support i'd grab one in a heartbeat. why do so many cheapshits refuse to let you shoot RAW?
>>4502260RAW support (among other features) is usually dependent on the sensor module and chipset type. In other words, most of the time it isn't a 'locked away' feature, just the module itself needs to have the firmware and be sophisticated enough to support it.If Sony, Omnivision or one of the other big sensor makers makes a cheap RAW-capable module these cheap Chinese cams start using, I think this will be a real market disruptor.
I'm guessing these things turned out to be really shit and just glorified webcams, as I'm seeing piles of these things in stores now and on sale (still not cheap enough though imo).
>>4502306didn't know that, i thought the raw sensor data could be written to a file no matter what, and it was intentionally being blocked. i agree, those piece of shit aliexpress cameras might be worth anything if i could get RAW out of them.

Have any of you guys tried this?https://ebird.org/home
>>4502311Been using it for a few months. While it's good for birding, it's only 'ok' for bird photography. eBird is more for scientific observation, tracking and species identification. While you can put 'pretty' bird pictures on there, you can't get too artsy with it; like silhouettes or images where you can't fully identify the bird over a pretty scene. The admins are real sticks-in-the-mud. I often get emails asking for more data points. Very annoying.

Figure this might be the best thread to ask in. How feasible is it to buy a cheap-ish telescope, 3d print an adapter and hook up my camera?
>>4501787New iteration. Better?
>>4502234Feasible, but innane. T-mount adapters are like $20; you're more likely to spend more in pbt than that and it'll be plastic instead of metal.The cheapish telescope part is fine. I used a $70 travel 400mm f/5.6 for a while until I bought my dob. Don't expect very sharp objects though.
5.4 is out, what do we think bros?
Although I have encountered some superficial bugs, I am a huge fan of the workspaces. I can have one for my product photography and one for hobbyist photography. The biggest annoyance I've run into is that since the workspace is a new .darktablerc file, all my UI settings I've done over the years are reset to default. I think I'm going to just leave it as is, save for some panel resizing.
>>4501909Also resets custom shortcuts and things. A little annoying, but a good feature overall.
>>4501909You could try to symlink one file to another, but it could also cause bugs.
>>4500394Not that you're completely wrong, but good luck expecting "service" after paying $200 for software.
I have to be honest, AgX is a little difficult to understand. I don't feel like I have a grasp over what I'm doing relative to Filmic RGB. Skipped Sigmoid.
/p/, I long for the 2000s. I miss the hangouts where someone always had a digital camera and was snapping away. I miss that sweet overexposed, sharpened, sometimes saturated look that naturally came from a digicam. Please post candid photos from the 2000s like picrel. The more unique the better.If you need help, go to Google Images and search (month) (year) and the word "flickr"ex - June 2005 flickr
>>4501799Jump on pbase and go to the pages for any digishit camera. Usually you can find galleries of pics like this.Search the camera on google followed by “pbase.” Much easier than using Pbase’s search system.
>>4501940>secondhand nostalgiaI think the zoomzooms feel like they don't have anything of their own, that there is nothing distinct about this era which is why they latch on to times past when trying to find an identity.
How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?
>>4502185>Bump up the shadows in post. Tone adjustment in the curve profileThat's the same thing, senpai
>>4502283>>4502185isn't that whitewashing though? how do I photograph them without erasing their culture?
>>4502169You don't. There's no camera in this world that's designed and made for them by any techno congrlomerate because there's no black worth taking photos of
>>4502277Maybe I'm too contrarian but it's not even edgy anymore. All these Johnny-come-latelys weren't racist 10 years ago when it was actually subversive and are riding on the coattails of better men.

>ctrl f: sqt>noneI'm going to start this one off with a stupider question than usual. Say you were asked to shoot a few wedding shots at the last minute and all you've shot before was rocks, leaves, birds and the odd landscape or building corner... what do? Asking for a friend of course but pls reply quick.
I'm new to film and have an Nikon f3. I know I can find tutorials but I have a basic question. I use a phone app for metering. To take a single pic out can take me two mins to configure the settings. Do film photographers know which settings to dial into, are you just quicker, do you stay on the same settings, or a mix of the lot?
>>4502061>I find that I need more reach or more width most of the time I am using one.Well, if you've only got one lens with you it splits the difference. Most of the time you can get a little further away or a little closer. It's "good enough" for a lot of stuff and decent lenses of that length or pretty cheap. But if you find a 35mm works better for you then use that, there's no rule saying you have to use a 50.
>>4502063The amount of exposure accuracy you need is mostly dependent on the type of film you're using. Color neg and b&w are very straightforward. Spot meter the darkest shadows you want to retain information in and set exposure two stops faster than that. Both film types have insanely high latitude, so overexposure is not an issue in most cases with most films.Slide film is a different story and needs to be exposed to protect highlights because it has low DR, usually.
>>4502063As you shoot more, you'll get a good idea for ballparking the settings. You really only need to meter when changing lightning environments (or using strobes).I just meter off my hand in whatever lighting I wanted to take pics in, this ensured any photos with a person would have them exposed well.On sunny days outside, I'd meter once in sun and once in shade and then just switch as needed. For overcast and cloudy, just meter once. Then shoot for hours without needing to meter again.
What's your thought on these 70s-90s vintage store-brand 135mm f2.8 primes /p/I like how this one has a auto aperture setting so its tempting, its made in Korea by likely Samyang
