A film photography enthusiast, 35mm, medium format, some large format, pinhole photography, a dose of darkroom, and cyanotypes. Goes well with music on vinyl records and typewriters. Also some 3d design and printing. Love good tea.

Do you? I found that at f/1.8 - f/2.8 ISO 800 is more than enough with some artificial illumination present (street lights, etc.)

Was the roll nice and tight or did you end up with a “fat roll” that could invite a leak? Too much out of your control when a lab is involved too.

Absolutely, go with what you like. I’ve shot 100s of rolls of Foma in 135 and 120 and it’s solid (100 and 400; 200 in 120 has a “soft” emulsion that’s susceptible to roller damage on older cameras).

This does not look like a film issue. Too regular of a stripe. With curtain shutters the shutter could be a problem but not with a leaf shutter, thus yes, some type of a leak. If you look at the negative, you can see if it’s there to rule out scanning.

Thanks a bunch! You’ve definitely picked up on my most favorite printing method over the last 3 years or so 💙

Looks similar to the one I got in Ikea a while back. Waiting is more comfy 🙂

Thank you, Andrew! I usually go with wide angle. Trying 50mm or longer makes me think differently, it’s an interesting challenge.

Freedom! 🙂 I’ve been happily using and replenishing D-23 for almost 3 years.

That’s part of my negative view of humanity. Why oh why. Just watched “Rogue Agent” yesterday. That did not improve my view 🫤

Maxxum 5 and N75 are my favorite AF cameras. I love the size, similar to my FE and FE2, and Spotmatic, etc. The big guns are just too big for me.
