>>4402826>Still 20+ from image limit on old thread which is only on page 3Why make a new one already
>>4402840because last thread hit bump limit, and when the /fgt/ thread hits the bump limit people hold their photos to post in the new thread or else they'll be ignored, so the thread either stalls or turns into gearfaggotryhaving a fresh thread is inviting for posting photoswhich is the thread's goal
here's some gearfaggotry for the new thread. i got a fuji gf670w last month and the weather was nice enough to test it out over a long weekend. it is nice having a fuji 6x7 rangefinder again, i used to own a gf670 but the folding mechanism was kind of tiring, and the bellows always worried me since i started taking it backpacking. this one doesn't have any folding mechanism to deal with, just an on/off switch. it's still very compact and weighs about the same as the gf670. i've been enjoying the 28mm focal length lately on my 35mm cameras and the 55mm f4.5 is like a 28mm equivalent with a little extra room on the top and bottom.i tested it out with some slower shutter speeds to see how low i could handhold it, this one was at 1/60 f4.5 and it's nice and sharp.[EXIF data available.

>>4402891i tested out the 6x6 mode, which puts down some blinds and changes the gearing to take 12 photos instead of 10. i am not a square format shooter though and i don't think i'll ever be. feels like a waste to get this camera and shoot 6x6 mainly, at that point just get a mamiya 6 with the 50mm or something.[EXIF data available.

>>4402893i wish it had strap lugs so it hangs horizontal but i'm used to it from the gf670. i'm also used to the advance wheel, i actually think i like it more than a classic wind lever by now. the only real issue is that the grips on the lens barrel to focus it are placed in a terrible position and you can't really grip it from below when rotating it to close focus. it's almost as if they wanted you to focus the lens by gripping it from above.[EXIF data available.

>>4402894Even if a CLA fixes the shutter, P6s are notoriously unreliable. You are giga fucked, it will die on you at the worst possible time and it will ruin your life. There's a reason this is one of the cheapest ways to get into medium format. Always bring a backup camera with you, at least. Also, https://www.pentaconsix.com/ is a good resource.

How do you guys cut your 35mm film for archival?Using scissors feels way too easy to fuck my negatives up.
>>4402896>>4402907thanks anons>>4402909a sharp and heavy pair of scissors, and i haven't really fucked up yet after many many rolls. the key is to hold the strip over a light table and then focus on cutting at the other end of the strip. for some reason it works pretty well for me, if i start inbetween a frame and then keep my eyes focused on the other side, i can get a nice straight cut in one slice. practice on the blank end of a film strip and cut from one sprocket hole to the corresponding hole on the other side.
>>4402901Thanks for the website anon, I hope mine will be built different than yours :D It was like 150$ for the body + 80mm 2.8 Biometar + a 250mm telear with a 2x TC so not much money will be lost, even after the CLA.I shall stop gearfagging from now on, have more noisily scanned early autumn 500T /fgt/[EXIF data available.

>>4402946>>4402947again, great learning experiences. you nailed the contrast/exposure in the books/toothbrush one.i love tilt focusing on random stuff just so i can get the most out of my camera. i mean i bought the camera with the bellows im going to use the whole camera with the bellows!!!!
>>4402945>>4402950thanks, anoni'm happy to read thatnow I just gotta get better at enlarging stuffI've been doing some contact prints in my bathroom with a very improvised setup but what's bothering the most is contrastI've been using a warm light, I don't know if a colder one would help with that>as i no longer has access to a 4x5 enlargerhave you tried using the camera itself to enlarge your negatives?I haven't tried this yet
>>4402955yea definitely the warm light is effecting the print. contact printing 4x5 is hard work thoi have seen the intrepid 4x5 enlarger kit but idk if my beseler 67s can be taken off the post so i can place the kit with my toyo omega view on itand even if i did, the toyo i have kind of sucks. it doesnt tend to stay in one position for too long, but ill look into it.
>>4402957i too use a Toyo Omega View!it's a 45D, I believe, but I can't tell it apart from the 45C or other 45sI was thinking of just sandwiching the negative between 2 photo frame glasses and just placing it on top of the camera (on its back, with it facing down)I can cut a thin sheet of wood for it to stay still and leveled>the toyo i have kind of suckswhich one is it?there are some things that would be nice to have like precision knobs but I love it, it's enough for me to do everything I want to (and i experiment a lot)
>>4402959toyo omega view 45e, no smooth knobs :(and goddamn bro youre going out in the field with a monorail? once i got my tachihara its a dream of putting everything in one bag (camera in a wrap) vs staying near my car all the time.but yeah i do wish my tachihara had a few more extreme movements, however in real world applications i dont use much tilt unless im doing real wacky stuff, in which ill use the toyo. in fact, i need to get a linhof board to toyo converter as i switched all (two) of my lenses to linhof-style boards to fit the tachihara.
>>4402826> who's your biggest influence in your photography? do you have any photos that resemble their body of work?Movies are usually the biggest influence or inspiration; however, I fail miserably to replicate the look I see.

>>44029686x6 pictures
>>4402962You could have pulled the film to reduce contrast, but then all your other pics would be screwed. Depending on the type of film color negative can havd a crap load of latitude so you would expose for the shadows and hope for the best.
You would think there would be established times for pushing kentmere 400 to 3200 with Microphen. 20 minutes just seems like too much based off of Massive's equations.>>4402964>>4402965>>4402966I like it. good job anon
So this started out as designing and testing a 3d printed lens board so I could put the 210mm lens from my Calumet monorail on my Graflex for a trip I have coming up, and then evolved into comparing the Caltar 210 with the Optar 135 in as objective a way as I could manage.Parameters were as follows: Same scene with the tripod fully locked in so nothing charges except obviously the FOV due to the difference in focal length. Same film stock (Ektar 100 for finest possible grain in color to evaluate sharpness). Both images shot at f/22 (which is typically where a large format lens is sharpest) with 1/30 exposure for the Caltar and 1/25 exposure for the Optar - I would have liked to have identical shutter speeds but the shutters don't line up and frankly given the age of the Graphex shutter the margin of error would probably render the difference meaningless anyway. Both sheets were then developed simultaneously in a temp controlled bath, "scanned" in quarters and stitched in photoshop, and converted with identical NLP settings and no tweaking of anything.[EXIF data available.

>>4402982While far from scientific, I think the results are kind of interesting. There's a definite difference in the way each lens renders color. The 210mm is clearly sharper if you pixel peep at 100%, and the colors are more vivid, but I find myself kinda liking the old 135mm more for some reason.[EXIF data available.

>>4402983that one has way nicer colors for sure, other one is way too reddish-brownit's crazy how much difference the lenses make
>>4402990So the Caltar (aka Rodenstock Geronar) actually reproduces the colors more accurately to at least my vision - I'm not a botanist so idk what it's called but that scrub that grows along the banks of the Missouri has a reddish tint to it, which I would expect to be exaggerated a bit by Ektar. But I like the faded blue tinge of the Graflex lens more too.
>>4402998I also often prefer a colder color balance so I guess it's just down to personal preference.
I live in a decent sized city. What are some good subjects or scenes I could take in black and white film that are good for that medium? I've only shot color before.

What typically happens to film if it is kept undeveloped for too long? (about 3 months on room temp)

any tips on turning negative scans into colour? I just developed my film for the first time and i've never used any software other than shit like pixlr.com. tard enthusiast friendly program recommendations appreciated as well as tips that helped you guys at first. pic rel one of my negatives
>>4403431First you need to scan the border for a film base reference and use an appropriate backlighthttps://forums.negativelabpro.com/t/suggested-backlight-sources-for-scanning-film-with-dslr/130/2photoshop/similarhttps://www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2019/10/16/manual-inversion-of-color-negative-filmCapture one w/ raws (works in real time when scanning batches with a tethered camera), color correction principles with photoshop curves above still apply because c1 has all of photoshop’s color correction ability (plus really good auto masking and auto cropping)https://fstoppers.com/education/how-convert-negatives-positives-using-capture-one-137988
>>4403440exactly the type of tutorial i've been looking for this is going to help thank you anon. I was using my scanner but I bought it second hand and they gave me the wrong adapter to scan negatives. so the max dpi I was able to scan with was only 600 as apposed to like 4800
going to a engagement party but its actually a wedding, only going as a guest but I thought I might bring a camera along anywaygot a M6 + 35mm, was thinking of bringing the RZ67 but the GW690 is "smaller" and easier to use. what films should I bring?
>>4403492Well Portra 400/800 (outdoors/indoors) is THE wedding film. But I shot a friend's wedding non-professionally on CS400D and 800T and the halation turned out to fit the mood pretty well on a lot of the shots.
>>4402826Kodak Gold 400
>>4403397I think you should be ok. I literally had an undeveloped roll of Fuji 400 Xtra that I didn't have developed for 6 years after I shot it, and it turned out fine. Didn't even notice any colour shift.
>>4403492my advice would be to only bring the M6you're a guest in a weddingyou were not invited as a photographer, you are not there for this purpose, you're not meant to draw attention to your oversized toy (you're not supposed to draw attention at someone else's wedding at all)being a good friend is more important than taking a huge 6x9 photo with your dog-sized camerahave some common sensethey're also paying photographers to be there and cover each and every momentbring your M6, take some photos, and have funtaking photos is secondary
tried another roll of psych blues #5, this time with a real camera instead of a p&s. I think i'll probably grab some more rolls of it to use going forward, its just too much fun. I might try some of their other offerings, #6 was also fun but I think its relegated to a p&s film due to being even more unpredictable.>>4403535based priorities anon

hey /p/, I just bought a Nikon Nikkor 90mm f/4.5 lens for 4x5 shooting>I'm this anon >>4402931in a rough measurement I see that my belows can get as close as around 95mmI would have to buy a proper lensboard for my camera anyway, so I bought a 40mm recessed lensboard, which is more than enough for the lens to properly focus at infinitybut just for future reference, how should I be measuring this?I measured from where the film plane is up to where the shutter would beis that correct?thanks
>>4403568The nodal point. Usually roughly the center of the lens.
>>4403573great, thanks a lotgood thing I bought the recessed board, theneven if I squished the belows together I'd be at the limit for 90mm, and this also means I'd have no room for camera movementswith extra 40mm infinity focus should be achievable with the belows at around 130mm
Ordered some film from Japan while it's still exist (expired 2018).I just hope that postal packages are not x-ray scanned[EXIF data available. Click here to show/hide.]Camera-Specific Properties:PhotographerSlavisaImage-Specific Properties:
>>4403373same roll but rescanned, maybe a bit cool but much better imo
>>4403535yeah thats fair, ill just take the m6 and some portra, i might also have some pro 400H i can test out
>>4403534Then I shouldn't worry about this.I'm trying to collect more film for development to better use the developer after opening
What do you use to scan/convert negatives? I'm currently using Nikon Scan 4 but the output requires curves+color adjustment 100% of the time, and I think the direct output of something like silverfast just looks better generally. Then again, vuescan+negative lab pro could work just as well.[EXIF data available.

why should i shoot hp5? i like delta and moving away from kentmere (although idk if i can since delta aint cheap)
>>4403791is artistic medium high contrast nice grain

for me it's the hasselblad underwater housing
>>4404065For me, its the Graflex KE-4
>>4404065I wonder if the back glass would allow for a 70mm back. That way you could take over 15 shots before needing to open it up.>>4404068Almost got one of those on ebay. They're a beastly camera. Did you know they have a knife in them that let's you cut your film mid roll?
is instax backs for medium formats a meme? is it worth the cost or are you literally better off just using a classic land camera polaroid
>>4404131It can be worth it, but if you just want an instant picture snapshitter, probably not.
>>4404133its mostly about the process but also the feel of shooting on my hassy with much better controls than a polaroid camera. but if the backs are off focus and light scatters unevenly and shit like that I don't know if it's worth it.
>>4404065For me, it's the Leningrad.If I could find a working one.
>>4404083sad to see that most of those are only for parts, my usual repair guy will probably scream to get the fuck out If I came with one of those lmao.>They have a knife in them to cut film mid rollneat, I think that I have only seen that on Exactas before
