So i got a beat up point and shoot. And shot my first roll. Super nice. But thwn I opened the back, because I didn't know how to wind the film. I did this multiple times. Eventually I found out, but now I am scared of getting it "out" because it cost alot of money

WHY IS PHOTOGRAPHY SO EXPENSIVE I LIKE IT BUT TOO MUCH MONEY

Yeah thats what i thought too. I used to have a digicam, it looked good, but not in a warm way. Its ez to shoot on digital tho. But I'll stick to film as i am trying to get into scrapbooking.

Film just looks so cinematic, in a way that digi doesnt. Yes digi looks good, especialy the ones with like 4 megapixels. I like the way white is blown out. But it looks cold. Film looks warmer. Im using kodak gold so I think it will be fire

Plz mods keep this one alive so that I can post results

>DISTANCE to subject influences distortion, and FOCAL LENGTH influences background compression.

Not really. And that's what i'm talking about how people became so ignorant.

Distance tricks perspective. Focal length tricks mere field of view.

Take picture with 28mm, crop the center in 50mm or 100mm or 1000mm and compare with actual 50 or 100 or 1000 lens's picture.
The only difference will be the field of view, how wide or narrow the picture.

In other words, in wide picture there is narrow focal length's 'compression' always. You just have to crop it to make it prominent to notice.

It's like people saying people using umbrellas causes rain.

Same in muh Portrait Lenses.

I have one, they are quite ok but they are almost a decade old now. It is one of the few actioncams that has optical stability instead of digital which means that in lower light there isn't that weird jitter effect you have with digital stabilization. This type of model with a 1-inch sensor would have been a great successor.

It has really nice character for one of these ancient digital cameras and works surprisingly well in low light. My only wish is that it had a bit of zoom on it. It's also tiny, and looks enough not like a camera that no one really pays attention to you.

Second place goes to my converted CCTV camera. It's very unwieldy to carry around, but there are a lot of fun c-mount lenses around for cheap. I use it as a webcam and soldering microscope occasionally.

so pretty much what >>4468222 said

Given that it's not made anymore, just use whatever fresh slide film you can get, and consider a polarizing filter as well.

And since E100 is basically all you can get now you might also want a warming filter for that.

I've heard even Gold 200 with a polarizer can give similar results so that might also be worth a try.

You don't need an external lightmeter all the time if you learn sunny 16., plus I mentioned other issues with the M6 such as the corroding zinc top plate.
It's not a bad camera at all, and yes all of the potential issues can be mitigated and/or ignored, but I think it's still one of the worst value M cameras.
A great condition M4 costs maybe 1500$-1800$, meanwhile an equivalent M6 can be up to and above 3k. That's potentially another grand or more for a light meter.
>>4475768
I think if you're going to spend upwards of 5k on a camera body it should last a lifetime. My problem isn't with digital Leicas failing, it's that they are priced as if they are still these flawlessly engineered mechanical devices which are built to last.
Leica lives on the laurels of its analog years, not on the merit of their current digital cameras.

I think the picture is quite interesting. How old is that woman? She could be 23 or 53. And why is everyone dressed like it's 1970 when the photo was clearly taken in the present day?

Just because you've never been outside doesn't make this an interesting photo. By your logic every single snapshit that has a random person in it would be deem interesting.
The clothing attire is explained by old people.
The smartphone and notebook is not noteworthy in the slightest.

I like using my Olympus XA rangefinder, mainly because it's tiny and I can carry around in a pant pocket for random family photos whenever we go out.
I have no interest in lugging around my SLR when we go to a diner or concert.
>>4467778
There's a weird amount of people that consider the "feel" and "sound" of the shutter and film advance to be a significant factor in how much they like a camera.
IMO the only things that matter are ergonomics, features, and image quality.
>>
>>4451975
DESU I'd recommend you do try a Leica. Just go to your local Leica store with your credit card and a roll of film. ask them to look at some of the cameras. Eventually ask to look at one of their film bodies. After you chat with the salesperson for a half hour or so, ask them if it would be possible to do a walk around with the camera. You will need collateral, a card that can cover the camera if you lose/steal it, or gear insurance for rentals that would cover it in case of loss.

I regularly walk around with their bodies and it's always an enjoyable experience, just remember that it's polite to buy something every once in a while. I usually pick up the latest issue of the LFI magazine while I'm there.

While I do like their film bodies, I also tried a digital rangefinder that had no screen. It's quite literally the closest you can get to shooting film without having to actually shoot film, although I really enjoyed my experience with the MP. Nothing beats the feel and ritual of shooting film.

Hey guys! I've been shooting a DIY documentary in the observatory mode for over a year now about a local band. Throughout the year, I've shot the band throughout their everyday life and interviewed the members one-on-one in talking head segments. I plan to intercut the "fly-on-the-wall" moments with the talking heads. However, I can't think of any other documentaries that have done this off the top of my head (with the exception of Tiger King). I'd like to watch a few films in this style so I can get a better idea on pacing/editing. Do you guys have any documentary recommendations in the observatory mode with talking-head interviews? Especially if it's a music doc? Thanks!!!

Watched the video. Basically it's street, but you're more likely to get shot, shelled and kidnapped. Also your camera suffers more wear.
