Best one I've ever used so far was Kodak Gold 200 due to the vintage look and warm colors and Ilford HP5 for contrasty street photography.
Worst was Fuji 100. While the vibrance is okay, it's way too blue and green.

I stare at the sun to hyper sensitize my films, then I do a fast exposure of my films and transcribe what particle movement and/or impression I see from the photos I take in my films. Fake cameras are completely unessesary to develop your film, but sometimes if you want to take a picture of something going really fast or dangerous such as a nuclear particle a shutter may be helpful.

If your not a self hating sensor size queen doesn't this seem like the perfect everyday carry? Nothing can replace film but at least for digital shooting this looks perfect for most use cases not covered by the OM-2 Mark ii.

they are better presets with more powerful controls.
olympus color science is bad, olympus sooc jpegs are bad and oversharpened/phone like, and their presets are even less worth using and so limited even snoy picture profiles can be better

There is this thing that happens in photography, (particularly in porn) where the magic veil of the medium is pierced and I realize that what I'm actually looking at is; a man paid a sex workers to take photos of her in a cheap hotel.

Why though? Why does the illusion hold sometimes but not others? I have the vague sense that it has something to do with the depth of field, but that's not all of it. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly causes it, but I've definitely experienced it quite a few times looking at photos. Any thoughts?

I really want to know because it is currently the major fear holding me back from doing shoots with women. I don't want this weird uncanny effect showing up

>Naptha or lighter fluid, UV filter, kimwipes are shit use >>4405843
Thanks, will pick some of that up. I just had the lid off my A1 getting the fungus off the eyepiece lens only to find that all of the fungus is in fact between the prism and focusing screen objective lens. Cunts like half a days work to pull all the bullshit electronics out of the way to get it so I gave up and put it back together for now.
>>
>>4406039

For fungus, simple alcohol will work just fine or lens cleaner, basically any liquid cleaner that will not damage coatings or glue. Naptha and lighter fluid is for removing grease and oil specifically from focus helicoids.

The prism has a coating on it of silver which is why it's reflective. Isopropyl 91% alcohol should be okay to clean it.

Not sure where to ask, so I figured /p/ could help. It's about microphotpgraphy and microscopy, so I'm hoping it's on topic enough.

Any opinions on the Swift SW380B? I plan to get one with a 5 megapixel camera that goes in the eyepiece slot, and using it connected to my laptop or phone. I've used college lab microscopes for a couple years when I got my associate's degree, and I just want something for hobbyist use at home. I have no idea what brands I used in college, but I know this one has an abbe condenser. A camera that hooks to the phone/computer would make it cool too, never had that before.

Of course I'll be getting emission oil, dyes, and some accessories separately. I thought about getting the tripod version as well so a camera can hook in without interfering with the binoculars, but it's like an extra 100 bucks that doesn't seem like a huge change in convenience.
>>
>>4406014
kek back in the day we used to take a smartphone (it's barely a smaprtphone as I used samsung wave m) pic directly from the eyepiece as the microscope with actual imaging equipment were time hoarded by postgrad students
>>
>>4406014
All the modern chinese brands are the same, some models good and some bad. Look for reviews or forum posts. However I'd look for a trinocular model so you can have a camera set up while you observe. Doing this: >>4406022
will be more convenient and give the same results as those cheapo cameras. The only solutions I've seen are real cameras, but luckily as long as you have an actual full frame camera the results are good so going with a used camera is fine. I'd look into getting one that tethers well to a computer and can do video in case you wanna check out some water bears.
The big disadvantage of the new cheap models is they generally can't be serviced very well and upgrading them is harder. You can always go the route of buying an old BH-2s off ebay and upgrading. If you want to get into any stuff like dark field or phase contrast I'd recommend that. Oly BH-2s are super common and easy to get serviced, replacement parts are plentiful and cheap etc. But for a cheap used model it's a gamble how bad of shape it's in.

Missed that part of your post, but trust me you want a trinocular if you plan on doing photomicroscopy as a hobby and not microscopy with a pic here and there.

>dark field
Dark field is free or at worst cheap as fuck with a $0.99 filter. True phase contrast means an abbe condenser attachment (available to fit all or most Chinese models) and phase contrast lenses, which I concede is easier depending on the model.

Got this for a gift. What should I know before I start shooting

You can thank EU for this, the new usb c law requires that cameras with in body charging must have USB-C port.

You have a lot of fucking balls to sneak into an airport to take a picture of an airplane. I'm surprised you didn't get mauled by a German Shepherd.

shopping for rare pentax goods on buyee and found this shirt on the official store (i need a new neck strap for my KF cuz i never got one and its $16 + my gf buys there all the time)

actually had to do research on this shit because at first when i saw the hoodie design i thought it was some weird pol shit design but its actually referring to their special edition custom cameras which is cute. even has a laminated hand carved wooden grip, didn't know these existed and its proof pentax has the most sovl of the camera brands like a leica for retards stuck in the dslr era

How did photographers for nat geo shoot slide film? did they carry external light meters? Did they bracket everything? did everyone use to bracket everything during the AE-1 and k1000 and kodachrome days? the only time I ever shot slide film I had some images exposed fine, but a decent number under exposed by less than a stop. something that isn't an issue on that camera with negative film and an issue I've only had with negative film when using disposable cameras or shooting in a dark concert with a point and shoot (and even then most of them that were in focus were fine). the thing annoying about that specific SLR is the meter displays in full stops and the shutter is in full stops, so to bracket I'd need to shoot manual so I can change the apertures by half a stop while maintaining shutter speed. And if I bracket I get 5 shots instead of 15. That is the one thing good about shooting digishit instead, I can just hold down the shutter and not care

It IS color film. The secret sauce of any color film is spectral sensibilization of its layers. It's just a bit different from chromogenic monopack we all know and love, but that's it. And the process isn't that complicated, it can be done at home

lmao ok

mostly that they practiced a shit ton. if it was your actual job to shoot slide film, you'd get pretty good at it after the first 1000 rolls or you'd get fired and nobody would remember you/your pictures
