>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.
