What's the point of shooting film? How do you view the photos?

correct! shooting film knowing you are only going to scan and digitally manipulate it is mental illness

>>4395733
there are people out there that send their rolls to a lab to dev and scan

Yeah, well...shooting film, developing and archiving it as a physical format is part of the fun. Digital scanning to share and print is more convenient than using an enlarger. But maybe I've been wrong all these years and it took your thread to make me see it. You've really changed me. It's beautiful. I think we gotta hug.

you don't have to learn grading
you can post poor IQ and no one cares

Higher resolution and broader tonal range

It can’t be explained in words, you just have to try it. It’s an entirely different form of photography which makes you take totally different photos to what you will on digital. It also entirely changes the process of taking photos and what you experience before during and after.
Ultimately, I don’t think the rest of the world benefits but the person taking the photos gets a massively different experience.
>>
>>4395866
Not at all, only people who cant afford film and insist on shitty 70s cameras say this. A digital leica and a film leica are the same. 35mm is dirt fucking cheap and negatives have a ton of latitude just like raws.
>>
>>4395880

Why the fuck would you buy a film camera the same as your digital camera?
>>
>>4395884
Because you want to use the same lenses? Not so crazy. I have a D850 and an F4. I’ve shot a M5 and a M10 together. Why not?
>>

What is the result of your life?
>>
>>4395884
People did that originally, like EOS 1V and then EOS 1D

Because they were into film instead of larping as winogrand

Film is easier to take serviceable photos with and harder to take controlled photos without wasting money with exposure bracketing or proper metering. For many, this makes it “pure” or whatever. Also, a film point and shoot will have better dof than any digital one except the Ricoh GRIII ($1k for a non 1” point and shoot; lmao)

Film is really for digital camera enthusiasts when you think about it. Who else would find enjoyment taking digital photos of photos?
>>
>>4395935
This isnt really true

You can just put digital on auto ISO, daylight or tungsten wb, jpeg, same as accepting color shifts and super grainy shadows with poorly exposed film. Buying presets and shooting raw is the same as buying film and paying the lab.
>>
>>4395941

I assume he means photographing people.
Film retouches skin by itself without you having to do anything.
Digital cameras make people look ugly unless retouched.
>>
>>4395809
No that would be the OP with such an inflammatory question.
>>
>>4395944
Not true either. Modern EF/F lenses from canon/nikon/zeiss went on film SLRs and showed every pore on good slides.

Just stick to 16-20mp cameras, maybe less for that cant expose film right and using fuji 400 look, and use dogshit lenses, there, no more pores.

>Complete faggot, results-driven-only syndrome.
Nig nog, it's the steps and processes of life that add value to the end result; hard work pays off. The result IS the sum of all the processes. That's also completely ignoring the part where you can also just have fun doing the thing, but I guess your zoomer ADHD mind can't comprehend not having instant results NAO
>>
>>4395978
Your life is useless. The process is the only reason why you live
>>
>>4395987
Useless to who, bugman? Can you not comprehend individualism?

>>4395984
This is a disgustingly asian way of looking at things. Anything but individualism will to power. No internally set goals allowed.
>>
>>4396041
>people like the process of shooting film
>YOU'RE SUBMITTING TO POWER
Wow, what a tangent. You're actually retarded
>No internally set goals allowed
Some people want to have fun but you're obviously too autistic to comprehend that

>>4396072
Didnt say submit to power
Did say you lack power and coast on the experience instead of making your dreams real and clearly define how worthwhile and valuable things are in terms of what others think
>>
>>4395731
All the cameras that are actually good run on film. You can get pretty colors and pretty pictures without having to think about battery charging and computers and contract subscription agreements with indian giver tech companies that hate me. Digital cameras mostly sucked but they were worth it because each frame was free and you could use them with computers which were cool. But computers and phones and TV's all turned into unfixable overpriced disposable house arrest ankle monitors, so now there's no reason to use a digital camera anymore.
>>

Literally none of this is true. Stop repeating hyperbole from pedophiles like richard stallman.

>oh no if im tech illiterate microsoft can know how many times i opened notepad computers are unusable!
I removed all telemetry and junk from w10 iot ltsc in 20 minutes and debloating mac os is basically instant if you have the IQ to install arch losernix.

But thats not good enough for a pedophile who fully expects the government to put a 5g radio in his CPU so they can catch him downloading CP in real time i guess, better do all your CSAM on film and home dev
Us non pedophiles and non schizophrenics will be sticking with fuji+mac.

/g/ is literally chock full of pedophiles and even a few actual animal rapists, and their patron saint is a close friend of epstein who vocally defended legalizing bestiality. No one else has any reason to fear individual targeting and basic telemetry.
>>
>>4395731
You open the film door and look at the little pictures, obviously.
>>

>vocally defended legalizing bestiality
You eat pork you freak. You kill the pig because you want ham. Might as well be a rapist then.
>>
>>4395731
Just yank out the tab and your frames will develop in the ambient light in 5-10 minutes. Expensive film takes shorter time to develop but you can "hack" cheap film with fluorescent light and shave off a minute or so.
