Here is my attempt at something a little different. Like it in some ways, and would change others. I screwed up the background as you can see, but left it so you can see the intended framing.

I also attempted to apply some pull processing to lower the contrast and avoid blocked highlights. My spot metering was showing a contrast of 6, which is too high for printing. The negative appears to be quite low contrast, so maybe it worked...

Does this 600dpi scan look better than if I were to downscale it in post?

Follow the instructions exactly and you'll do fine. :)

I'm not concerned about the development, but how I took them and how I stored them

I just found out about photo gravure and I am upset that I may never be able to do it now.

Ok, I got the dog hair, am I a real large format photographer now?

>>4358768
You have to have atleast one image ruined because a doghair lands on your sheet film while you're loading it.

Is that a curly dog hair? Doesn't look quite right...

>>4358763
I didn't know about it, but it seems like it's very feasible if you're autistic enough and have a shitload of spare money
I found this site with a shitload of info
https://photogravure.com/process/
And if you just wanna have the thing itself you can look up these old men's names and ask them for a price
I found this Greg Brody guy who apparently does it as well

>>4358776
Sorry, Brophy*

>>4358776
Yeah, it's just a lot of space and dedicated equipment. I know I'm autistix enough for it.

I think I will try platinum palladium prints as my first dabbling into "fine art" printing. Much less expensive equipment.

Was able to find an MX at a thrift store. What lens should I get for it?

So I found a cheap Leica M6 in the local paper, basically going for half what everyone else is asking for them, and apparently in "perfect working condition"
Worst case scenario, how much does it generally cost to CLA/repair these things?

>>4358786
the m lenses are neat

>what's an interesting theme for future threads?
should dog hair anon use a trip so I filter him and his stupid 8x10 "pictures"? (yes)

>>4358864
Just sent an m3 I bought cheap as “as is” in for a cla, shutter curtain not closing completely at slow speeds and shutter knob pretty loose but otherwise functional. Quoted 200cad for it, which I didn’t think was too bad since even with that cost i still got it for much cheaper than a working cleaned model sells for. Can’t imagine the process for a claw on an m6 is much different or has a much different price.

>>4358996
why all the "durrr 35mm film only captures 8mp worth of information." is retardation. This slide contains more image information that is being obscured by the limits of Sony's 60mp sensor, and the pixels it did come up with to represent the colors in those locations are fucking shitty algorithmic approximations that only calculate out to appear the right color from a distance anyway. Fuck Sony.

>>4358999
Is flatbed really better for film scanning?

>>4359000
both suck
a nikon coolscan is the bare minimum if you want your scans to look acceptable

>>4359000
Dunno, I'm going to try a plustek next and if that sucks I'll try a late model Nikon negative scanner. People apparently still fucking love those things.

>>4359004
>plustek
they are dusty as hell
look at any review on youtube, there is always a ton of dust on the scans
I saw some comparisons and no matter what they were compared to, the same scan will always have a ton of extra dust and even scratches on the plustek
and that automatic dust removal sucks and leaves weird artifacts
and it only works for color film
plustek?
more like minustek!

Do you like only getting 36mp of usable detail out of 6x9 film?

>>4358999
The sony should be competent. These patterns are caused by micro-vibrations when using pixel shift. The camera only has to move two micron. If your dog walks across the room it's joever.

Have fun building your vibration isolation table

>Doghair aka huskyfag (i scrolled down /an/ a few days ago and saw the truth) spends $over $6k on scanning gear, then another $6k on operator training and help with assembly, repair, and recalibration, to wet mount his sheets, and still end up with dog hairs on his scans of out of focus dead bugs
heidelberg tango, good enough for alex good enough for you

>>4359017
LOL. Is it fun being so gullible?

>>4359007
my local lab uses the howtek.
they only give us fucking jpegs though, just like darkroom.com. no matter how you ask they won't save the bitch as a .tiff for you. Gee thanks guys. The Berg is generally considered the finest drum scanner anyone has made.

But my friends printing company had a couple Heidelberg presses, and those things are industrial equipment, but also need service that comes with an industrial price tag. When the press would have a problem or need something, it'd just shut itself down and wait til an authorized service tech could show up and enter his access code to bring it back to life and work on it. You don't even think about the fact that getting him to show up is a $1200 minimum, or you bought the wrong machine. I dunno how that drum scanner is, but could be a similar situation.

https://www.yyecamera.com/m-bodies

>>4359023
bro I ALWAYS blast it with a rocket blower before sticking it in. when I learned what a blow job really was I was disappointed. stupid microwind fetish curse.

Posted a few threads ago about getting a Nikon Coolscan 5000. Got delivered today. The guy put no padding in the box, lmfao, and all of the CD jewelcases got crushed.

But it works. Cool.

Leagues better than the direct lab scans I can compare them to. Apparently the lab was cranking the contrast up super high to blow out highlights and make super dark shadows, didn't focus well enough to see film grain on half the images. Playing with the color balance so that it looked nothing like the film stock.

I'm impressed. Gonna have to start developing at home too, just cut out the lab. Except for prints I don’t have the space do a darkroom even though printing is the most fun part.

>>4359107
Well... Post a scan so the losers can jealously tell you that you wasted your money and that the scan sucks.

I can’t because I’m on a 3-day for telling some troll on /tg/ to kys so can only phonepost. Mods there are fags.

One annoying thing is that Digital ICE is very good. But in order for batch scanning to work, you need to first preview scan the strip, basically doubling you scan time.

>>4359116
newfags were a mistake

>>4359120
Another annoying thing is that my 4000dpi 18-bit scans make 2 rolls like 12gb. Rofl.

I've seen a few come and go. I usually recognize them by their photos but I haven't seen most of them post recently.

4x5 anon that gets bullied about dog hair or some bullshit has some nice shots. He's one of the ones I recognize as being good, he constantly experiments and pushes himself.

There's a couple others and then like 40 other dudes that are just bitter posting nothing but garbage.

Hey faggots, I'm going to Singapore in a few months and thinking of hating myself enough to haul the 4x5 setup along. Does anyone know if there are any labs in SG that do 4x5 E-6 developing? I found one on Google but their website is ancient and their last FB posts are from 2015. I want to avoid bringing exposed shits through the hand luggage because sheets cannot exactly be hand checked and I don't know how stubborn the staff at Changi airport are about this stuff in general. After my last eurotrip I was forced to allow my 120 E100 rolls through the scanner (the staff adamantly insisted it was safe) and most of them got fogged pretty badly, so not even low ISO shit seems to be safe these days.

I've taken sheets through hands check, US airports are fine but it's a shit show outside the US because they're more lax on their duties and if they don't want to hand check they'll just demand you put it through the scanner. Bring a lead lined bag with you. That always works.

He constantly tries and fails to focus a bigger camera because its safer than trying and failing to take a compelling photo on a smaller one

>>4359331
>>4359332
It must be so tiresome living in a place where everything is dirty, fucked and old.
The lada isn't overexposed, it's correct.
The captured image only goes to no detail in the shadows underneath it, which is exactly as you'd want. The sky being blown out isn't a problem (and you could keep the detail with more effort in editing than the photo warrants), the fact that you chose to include it in the frame is.

>>4359371
You probably don't own a camera and have never posted a photo here.

>>4359398

>The food critic doesn't know how to boil water, but he really knows what he likes!

His opinion surely matters!

Thanks for letting me know that you truly have no clue what you're talking about. I knew that already, but I appreciate the confirmation. :) I'll continue to post my work knowing how upset it makes you.

>>4359402
NTA but
I agree with the whole chef analogy, I don't think it's necessary for a critic to actually know how to do something to evaluate it
because it's not a matter of making a photo or a plate, it's a whole other competence in and of itself which is judging a specific piece
The thing is: you're so ignorant about the process your criticism is shallow and unbased
You don't have the knowledge you believe to have, and that ends up being arrogant
I'm not defending LF anon, I myself think their photos seem like studies
They're just now starting to do something less boring
But you can't criticize the guy on not being able to focus
The wings of the butterfly are beautifully focused, and you don't have the slightest idea of how it's impossible for the whole image to be in focus because the focus plane is truly razor thin
Not like "oh my Leica™ lens' DoF is razor thin"
We're talking about macrophotography on large format
A good food critic doesn't need to know how to make the perfect dish, but they do need to know how things work and how they're combined, how they interact and so on
You're just an arrogant nophoto, boy
Go take a macro of your micropenis, I bet it's possible to get its entirety in focus

>ad hominem
ok but what about the photos?
the first part of your comment has nothing to do with the photos themselves, so it's completely irrelevant
dirty and old shit is just what tends to catch my attention, I live in a beautiful country, thank you very much
>The lada isn't overexposed, it's correct
bruh...
the film is iso 200
I shot this specific photo as 100, developped at box speed
it *is* overexposed, that's a fact, not an opinion
>The sky being blown out isn't a problem (and you could keep the detail with more effort in editing than the photo warrants), the fact that you chose to include it in the frame is
There's no detail to save, I have the .tiff file, it's pretty much all white
I deliberately framed the sky, and I quite like the photo, I just think it would be better, in my opinion, if it was a pale blue
Which wasn't possible to have
>because it's overexposed

Did you spot meter (with a calibrated meter) off the car with a 18% grey card, or with an incidence meter?
I'm guessing you didn't.

This is what happens when a food critic attempts to tell a chef how to cook. They look incredibly retarded on many levels.

Atleast you didn't tell me to focus stack my film picture this time.

>>4359428
I used a Gossen Lunasix 3 to meter all shots in this roll
And for this one I overexposed by 1 stop
Try not being pedantic
It is overexposed, I'm not even sure why you're trying to argue that

>>4359431
>focus stack my film picture this time

must be possibru if you digitize all your pics to stack, but that is 10x moar work or money, that or close a lot the aperture and suffer diffraction

>>4359428
Your post is insanely retarded.

>>4359451
He is insane and retarded

>>4359450
No. I will cut out all the in focus bits by hand and glue them together. If I was doing it digitally I could just stitch together a whole 35mm roll and benefit from the added dof.

I'm sure this is incredibly obvious to you, but the whole point is to contact print these, and that the 2% of the head and leg that's out of focus or slightly soft makes almost no difference to the final print.
I'm resolving details that are like .01mm or less in size on these damn bugs. You can't see it with the naked eye on an 8x10 print.

I still need to get around printing but one of these days

These are some shoots of the LuckyPan SHD 400 film that I posted last thread, I really expected to be fomapan repacked but doesn't seem to be the case, the base its to clear and doens't look like fomapan. Might really just be some chinese aerial film.

Shooting it at 400 its not great desu, probably would work better at 200.

They all sort of seem a bit soft for 6x6, but maybe that's just from the scan, or high speed film?

Overall fairly good. :D

>>4359413
>+1 from box speed on rotten expired neg film in an overcast scene with a bright background

You fucking retard, look at the image.
Is the car overexposed on the film? Is it a blocked up purple brick when you look at the negative? Or does it show continuous tone, colour and detail, which extinguishes in the darkest shadowed areas? It's the result that decides whether or not your image is over or under, not your almost certainly flawed interpretation of a meter reading.

search for all galleries in your local area, find some open group shows, enter and go from there. the hardest part about doing something like that, is actually producing work. getting some film scans back from a lab and uploading to instagram is a million times easier than creating a final artwork ready to hang. you need to worry about paper types, tapes, frames, editing and doing proof/test prints, labelling, inventory management, pricing, storage, getting the fucking thing to the gallery, etc. its extremely worth it when you have it all finished though. there will be smaller/indie kind of galleries that are more 'simpler' in that you can just get a print and use that (they will then pin it to the wall or something). literally just having one good photo printed to be able to show off puts you miles ahead of 99% of photographers

>Gossen Lunasix 3
how do you like it?
I actually bought one, didn't receive it yet
I know about the mercury batteries issue, will probably use hearing aid batteries and later mod it with a diode

>>4359717
it's absurdly precise
fucking spot on every single time I used it
I use two hearing aid batteries (675) and the difference in voltage is so minuscule it doesn't make a difference
The indicated batteries are two PX625 (which are 1.35V each), and 675 hearing aid batteries are 1.45V. That's a 0.2V difference (2.9V) in a 2.7V system that very probably uses series of diodes and some kind of rectifying so that the output is not fucked
you can slide a tab in the back for a battery check, you'll see that with the two hearing aid batteries it still stays in the red area indicating it's good (albeit tending to be in the right end because of the slightly higher voltage), but it's still in between the limits
read the manual, it has its own way to deal with and shit, but it becomes kind of second nature once you get it
literally the best lightmeter I've ever seen
and yes, it works in ridiculous light conditions
never got an exposure wrong with it
p.s.: and still the other guy insists my shot is not overexposed lfmao

Shot my first Kodak 5222/Double-X/BwXX whatever last weekend, and there is something I really dislike about the tonality. It must be those muddy mids that take endless fiddling with to not look like shit, and even then they still do.
Maybe part of it is due to short dev time (HC-110 B for 5 minutes), but I only had one roll I got in a trade with a buddy and I won't be buying another to experiment. Oh well.

I got the Plustek 8200i, it's good if you know what to use it for (only scanning). Silverfast that comes with it is great for scanning, but not so much for inverting negatives to positives. Way too much saturation IMO, and can't get it right in the editor (though that might be a skill issue). Vuescan on the other hand is another $100 and is at the opposite end of the spectrum, where images look extremely flat. I've seen countless positive videos of people who scan with Vuescan and then convert the negatives with Lightroom and Negative Lab Pro. But since I'm too stubborn to buy LR +NLP I figured I just scan with Silverfast and do the conversion with Darktable. Works like a charm, where pics came out pretty close to how I edited the scans I originally got from my lab. I'd post some comparison pics, but currently on holiday. Will post when I'm back

I really like it with rodinal. I thought I wouldn't because it's a grainy film to start with and rodinal makes it even more grainy, but if you can embrace the grain and contrast it really shines.
By the same logic pushing to insane high ISOs is half the fun. Or pulling to insane low ISOs. It's really a choose your own adventure type of film. Here's one rated at 1600 ISO in broad daylight.

bronica rf anon here again. 4 rolls through now, i believe the burnt edges are a quality of this batch of expired rolls. the first 12 frames of this roll have the leaks but it diminishes progressively and the last 4 frames are almost completely clean. the other 2 rolls are from other batches and do not have any leaks. i conclude that things are all good with the camera!

why would manufacturers make digital lenses out-resolve 35mm when digital sensors can't out-resolve 35mm

>>4360164
Shieeeeeet. Good question. I think manufacturing processes and lens sciences have improved a lot. Maybe I'm talking straight out of my ass, idk.

I know from lots of researching of MF digital backs that film lenses are generally too soft for them even with their large pixel pitch so rodenstock and schneider makes digital specific lenses that have smaller projections, much sharper, and they channel the light in a different way that's more suited for digital sensors.

Tried to ago processor out for the first time today.

What I like:
Easy to use, extremely convenient, consistency, saves chemistry, and spillage/leaking is extremely minimal to non existent.

The temp compensation seemed to work really nicely as well.

Dislikes:
I dont think there is quite as much customization as I may want eventually, but there was enough to do what I wanted for now.

Rotation speed/frequency is a global setting rather than a dev recipe specific parameter, which is annoying.

The motor sounds kinda weak, but I had it on the slowest speed of 40 rpm.

Build quality is quite nice overall, but I wish there was a rubber fitting for the usb-c charging port.

Do you run a small lab or just rich or what? This thing doesn’t make sense for the typical snapshitter, how many rolls a month you go through?

>>4360537
Neat, I'm definitely going to grab one in a month or two, I'd be keen to hear more about what you think as time goes on. I think you're right that the port should come with a cover but you should be able to find a generic one fairly easily at least?

>>4360545
They recommend putting tape on it the manual, lol. I'll be using it a bunch and do an update in a month or two maybe.

>>4360543
If you developed enough film the chemistry savings would eventually pay for the unit.

In terms of film area like 30-40 rolls a month, but 70% of that is just 8x10 sheets. Try tray developing in complete darkness enough and you'll understand how nice it is.

>>4360548
Yes, but no.

With how expensive these things are, seems like you might as well just buy a used JOBO on fleabay. Almost 500 smackeroos for something that doesn't even give you temperature control, just monitoring, doesn't strike me as a very good value.

>>4360610
I'm gonna take mine on work trips when I get it. Can't do that with a Jobo.

>>4360610
The larger Jobo tanks are dummy expensive(400-700!) compared to paterson tanks, and the cpe2 processors are all over 1k. There are chinesium clones for the tanks, but idk if they're good.

If you just want a jobo tank roller that's compatible with jobo tanks those are like 500.

A large pot or tray with a sous vide machine next to your tank is basically good enough because the temp compensation can change the time during development, and very inexpensive.

>>4360610
Wait, the rollers are only like 150ish. Idk why the one I saw was like 500 bucks...

>>4360614
>A large pot or tray with a sous vide machine next to your tank is basically good enough because the temp compensation can change the time during development, and very inexpensive.
Yeah that's what I use myself, a plastic storage bin full of water with a sous vide stick. For color anyway, for B+W I use exclusively XTOL which isn't very temp sensitive in my experience and has always worked fine at room temp.

This was kinda fun. I used 2 pieces of glass and some glass shims to make this section of a feather very flat. That piece of optical glass I used for testing actually came I'm handy for something...

Kinda cool, kinda boring. I think it could be nice as a framed print. There's some interesting detail/texture.

Has anybody tried agitating color film with a twiddle stick? Is it enough agitation or do you really need the inversions? Seems like it would be really easy to stick a motor on one of these and use it with the standard bucket and sous vide rather than this >>4360537 overengineered gizmo that will leak everywhere once the O ring dries out

I recently decided to shoot ECN2/cine film again after not liking it the first time I tried it out a couple years ago.

It fucking sucks. It's simply characterless in every way. Too flat, too fine-grained, and 250d looks like it was washed in piss. And on top of it all, IT'S NOT FUCKING CHEAPER! Yeah, you can get it respooled off ebay for like $7 a roll, but after additional development costs it works out to be about the same as Portra. It drives me up the fucking wall when these retards online are like "with the rising costs of film, Vision3 can be a way to save money!" NO IT'S FUCKING NOT!

Why would I pay the same or more to have photos that look like they had an AI smoothing filter applied to them?. I'm going back to shooting C41, fuck this.

own scans or lab?

>>4360726
Lab. I've got all the parts for a home scanning setup except for a copy stand, though, so I may try that. Is 250D much better with a home scan?

>>4360734
I don't know, but just looking at the images you posted, the 250D looks like it was poorly scanned, like the scanner optics were dirty or OOF
since they use different dev processes it's not inconceivable that they were scanned by two different techs or one even subcontracted out

speaking of scanning
>shopping for another CS9000 because the first one I bought arrived broken
>find what I think is a sweet deal on ebay for one with no film holders ($1800+shipping)
>figure I'll just order some of the better ones Stephan Scharf makes, buy scanner before anyone else can grab it
>email Stephan
>"do not buy from ebay! here join this private fb group instead"
>"oh btw here's one just listed in the group for $1600 serviced with warranty"
I just can't win
here's hoping the one I ordered is either in perfect working condition or arrives visibly broken

>>4360718
dude chill the fuck out
this 250d scans are just obviously absolute garbage, re-scan it
this film is very sharp

>>4360734
>lab
Well that’s the problem, cine film is really only cheaper if you do the whole process yourself from start to finish. Otherwise just stick to c41. Youtuber mongoloids who have all this paid for by sponsored content and viewer donations and shit are never truly honest. The washed out negative is also true, it’s meant to be graded and this captures a flatter image, being cinema film. Think kinda like shooting log on digital, log also looks like flat washed out shit before grading. Something that YouTubers again don’t mention or really gloss over when they talk about it.

>>4360698
If it starts to leak you can just use it upright and shed a single tear that you aren't saving on chemistry anymore.

>>4360416
normal xray machines are fine, the 3d ones allegedly destroy film but I haven't tried those

>>4360698
I don't like the twiddle sticks because I've gotten surge marks and lines on the negatives from them.

Yes I have, but only boring things like "ttl" lighting. I have one of those 50/50 mirrors.

It's extremely tedious to create setups where you project images onto each other. I got a piece of kit that will make it easier. I may try somethings out eventually.

I've got two questions, /p/
First of all, what the fuck is this lever in my Nikon F50?
It doesn't seem to move anything, the lens doesn't even touch it either, and there's no mention of it in the manual
I downloaded the repair manual as well and couldn't find anything about it apart from how to disassemble it

>>4360895
my second question is kinda stupid but seems to make sense
If I use these autofocus G-lenses on my Nikon FM2 it'll only shoot at maximum aperture
But what if I press down the DoF preview lever? Can I use it to stop it down to whatever aperture I want?
It's mostly impractical, sure, but would it work?

I am not a niggor, but does these lenses have manual pins for the camera to "talk" to them? if its all electronic, then no.

>>4360906
G-lenses are completely electronic and it's "possible" to use them with older Nikon models but they'll only shoot wide open since they don't have the electronic contacts to inform the lens of what aperture should be used, and they don't have manual aperture rings
but when you press the camera's DoF preview lever it mechanically closes the lens' blades
My question is if it's possible to press the lever as a form of getting it to the right aperture
I mean, pressing the lever ends up actually closing the blades indeed

>>4360895
I have $50 that says it's related to stop-down functionality for older lenses. Stop-down levers were going the way of the dodo when the F50 came out so I wouldn't be surprised if it was never mentioned.
