>Go to Japan>Only shoot Kodak Portra 400
yeah so?portra is a film for the digital age, just make it look how you want in post
>Go to JapanThis is the first mistake
>>4516992Portrait film is real color film. Consumer stuff was terrible. It'd turn brown hair black, pull blues to cyan, reds to magenta, etc... it was designed to look super-saturated. I hated it. I have a pack of Fuji Xtra 400 sitting in the freezer, I'm gonna toss it when I move.
>>4516992I wouldn't do it, but people should shoot whatever they want
>>4516992Only if I can push it to 800
>>4517057nta but what do you think of ektar?I’ve taken a liking to it recently but that’s also partly because the negatives don’t curl and are super easy to handle (do my own dev & scans)
>>4516992>Not picking up a roll of Pro Image 100 from a local mom-and-pop store
>>4517070whities do be looking red with ektar though
if i went to meme slanty eye anime world i'd probably shoot vision3
>>4516992this buy fuji superia premium for those vivid magentas! wow!!
>>4516992>Go to Japan>Everything is MINT
>>4517138Lol i saw this listing. I cant fucking believe how much 1N's have gone up. Some fuckhead 'tuber must have made a video about how they're lowkey slept on & ngl straight fire
>>4517138>>4517139their whole rating system is fucked I don't know why they botherlike>Excellent+++>Pre-owned, minimal signs of use>Appearance is beautiful, tiny scuffs from normal use.>Optics: Very good condition.>There is heavy fog due to balsam separation.>There is no fungus.>There is no scratches.>There is coating deterioration on the rear element.bruh this thing is so fucked I don't know how you can tell whether there is fungus & scratches or nothttps://www.ebay.com/itm/366534378206
>>4517232>their whole rating system is fucked I don't know why they botherYeah I mean its just not a standardised system, its like tuning 'stages' on a car. Every shop has different definitions of what each category means so its pointless. >https://www.ebay.com/itm/366534378206Well thats more haze than lens
>>4517232i actually dont know what the japanese do to abuse their lenses so badlyso many of the cheap lenses there have haze or fungus...is it the tropical weather + improper storage and smoker households?
>>4517301>tropical weather + improper storageit's gotta be thatthe GX680 system has this flocking on the back surface of the lenses, like a velvety foam material99% of the GX680 lenses from japan, the flocking is fucked — shrunken, cracked, and/or somehow shinyit's so bad I've just come to accept it, it's not like it would be super hard to re-flock thembut then on the other hand, >50% of the listings NOT from japan, the flocking is fineremember these lenses were last produced like 20 years ago
sue me then
kodak gold is good too
>>4516992>Only shoot Kodak Portra 400yeah should have shot Ektacolor 400 instead
At least shoot glorious Nippon slide film>poor dynamic rangeskill issue>expensive>can afford to fly and stay at hotels
>>4517315i'll see you in court.
>>4517315>>4517316>>4517317>>4517318>>4517319>>4517320>>4517321we get it, you hate color and properly focused sujects
>>4517411Doesn't look like missed focus to me, just looks like either bad scans or a mid lens on the camera.
>>4517412>>4517411Yeah, looking back on those years I definitely under-scanned the pictures, definitely didn't max out the dpi, and I wasn't careful enough with the consistency of the focusing across each rollsI need to go through the whole lot again sometime, scanning with a camera rather than a flatbed, but it kinda sucksSwitched to digital and a fuji camera sinceI still like le nihon, but not this boardhave a critter
>>4517664I was also kind of afraid of the saturation slider back thenFavorite film was Venus 800, closely followed by Superia PremiumFuck, I miss them
>>4517667If it weren't for that merc turning out of the side street this would be a wallpaper.
>>4517045the land of soups and shrines and barely anything else
did you bring your own or buyed
im going soon, trying to decide if the 120 comes, or if its just going to all be one on 35
It may not be mint but it's EXCELLENT PLUS!
>>4517917Japan is fucked, and I have lost all illusions of japanese superiority.
>>4517946it’s funny because some other japanese hobby markets are the complete opposite>CONDITION: POOR (outer box seals broken)
I'm going to Japan and planning on only shooting HP5
>>4518055It’s just Tri-X with inferior tonality. Don’t bother.
>>4518055Lmao same
