>Still 20+ from image limit on old thread which is only on page 3
Why make a new one already

>>4402840
because 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 gearfaggotry
having a fresh thread is inviting for posting photos
which 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.

i 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.

Seems like a fucked 1/125th is a common issue on these so hopefully no big deal to fix.

Just went through a roll of the new foma ortho 400 so I hope at least some images are usable, if so I'll post em

i 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.

anyways it is a really enjoyable camera to use. feels really great in the hands. the viewfinder is massive and bright and it's very easy to focus. the meter is very accurate and aperture priority is fun. it wasn't cheap but i have big plans for it this year.

Even 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
>>4402907
thanks anons

>>4402909
a 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.

Thanks 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/

A small pair of very sharp sewing scissors that I only use for this purpose. Pro tip: you can get rocket blowers for way cheaper at your local soccer mom cRaFtiNg store - it's the same thing, but packaged for blowing ink around on a page and like a quarter of the price as when sold for photography

I don't think this is a particularly good photo, it's the one I like the least from this bunch
but it's nice how i was able to use a bit of swing and it worked out to use focus to create a path that leads to the cage

again, 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
>>4402950
thanks, anon
i'm happy to read that
now I just gotta get better at enlarging stuff
I've been doing some contact prints in my bathroom with a very improvised setup but what's bothering the most is contrast
I'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 enlarger
have you tried using the camera itself to enlarge your negatives?
I haven't tried this yet

>>4402955
yea definitely the warm light is effecting the print. contact printing 4x5 is hard work tho

i 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 it
and 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.

>>4402957
i too use a Toyo Omega View!
it's a 45D, I believe, but I can't tell it apart from the 45C or other 45s
I 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 sucks
which 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)

>>4402959
toyo 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.

> 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. Wong Kar-wai, Paul Schrader's Mishima biopic, Kubrick.

photo unrelated. I dont know how I would have metered this differently because the left side is blown out but the foreground is underexposed. Maybe take the average of the 2?

you can use split ND filters, or shoot two images and make a composite
don't know if there are any other ways to get everything properly exposed

You 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.

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.

While 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.

that one has way nicer colors for sure, other one is way too reddish-brown
it's crazy how much difference the lenses make

>>4402990
So 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.

>>4402998
I 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.

>>4403113

Any R A R E japan only films I should hunt down in Tokyo? I’ve heard that Showa brand film sucks but are there any fujifilm rolls we don’t usually see in the US? Is Venus 800 still made? I will def bring my 35mm Minolta, not sure if I want to haul my Pentax67 as well

First you need to scan the border for a film base reference and use an appropriate backlight

Capture 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)

going to a engagement party but its actually a wedding, only going as a guest but I thought I might bring a camera along anyway
got a M6 + 35mm, was thinking of bringing the RZ67 but the GW690 is "smaller" and easier to use.
what films should I bring?

>>4403492
Well 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.

I 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.

>>4403492
my advice would be to only bring the M6
you're a guest in a wedding
you 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 camera
have some common sense
they're also paying photographers to be there and cover each and every moment
bring your M6, take some photos, and have fun
taking 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.

hey /p/, I just bought a Nikon Nikkor 90mm f/4.5 lens for 4x5 shooting
>I'm this anon >>4402931
in a rough measurement I see that my belows can get as close as around 95mm
I 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 infinity
but just for future reference, how should I be measuring this?
I measured from where the film plane is up to where the shutter would be
is that correct?
thanks

>>4403568
The nodal point. Usually roughly the center of the lens.

>>4403573
great, thanks a lot
good thing I bought the recessed board, then
even 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 movements
with extra 40mm infinity focus should be achievable with the belows at around 130mm

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.
