I'm using ILFORD HP5 PLUS 400. Can I set to higher and lower ISO? Or, do I need to stay at 400 ISO.

Man... I have been very lucky. Last week I stopped by a garage sale and found Ricoh-KR-5 super for $10. Saturday I found this for $25! It even comes with another lens, 75-150mm f/4 if I am not mistaken. It was meant to be because I didnt even check out that many garage sales.

In the past I have seen some interesting work using B&W film and UV light. Understanding that film was sensitive to UV and digital considerably less so, has anyone given it a try?

Hi TPF I'm super new to all this stuff, I just found an old Canonet QL19 from 1971 I think. It is in good condition and everything. I just wanted to know how to even being using a Rangefinder I tried manuals but is all just to complex for me, so what I'm asking is basically how do I get started on using this, what film do i need, what are the specs and how do I use the dials sorry I'm such a noob I just think its so gorgeous and would love to use a film camera for once instead a digital all the time. Thankyou in advance! :D

Whats the best settings and techniques for doing flash photography in doors? I have a speed lite but I'm struggling with getting good shots. I'm inconsistent. Keep getting grainy stuff lighting looks too dark or off or subject moving gets blurred. Any suggestions ??

This is for the regular 8mm frame on 16mm film, specifically Zapruder film in 1963

My questions are:
- where is the center of the frame as defined by the center of the lens circular exit window?
My belief is that it is the center of the standard frame 3.5mm by 4.8mm

- where is the center of the frame 3.3 by 4.5 mm used to refer to 8mm frame, is it shifted 0.15 mm
towards the center of the film, because the frames 3.3 X 4.5 mm and 3.5 X 4.8 mm do not share the same center?

- what is this 3.3 by 4.5 mm used anyway? Is it the frame size used by projectors for the standard frame
3.5 by 4.8 mm defined for the film itself?

- what is the distance between the center of 3.5 X 4.8 mm frame and the edge of the film.
This link below shows distances but it seems to assume the frame 3.3 X 4.5 mm
Historic sub-35 mm Film Formats & Cameras
look for a grainy gif pic on the right side toward the bottom of page

It shows distance 5.2 mm, but this is for 3.3 by 4.5 mm frame, I believe the frame is shifted 0.15mm as explained above

I want to find the distance for 3.5 X 4.8 frame, and in inches to 1/1000 because I believe the original spec is
in inches to 1/1000 and the conversions to mm lose accuracy

I found an old 8mm camera and I was wondering what is a good way to meter this camera? How can I use my photography light meter (if possible) to meter an 8mm camera?

I have one and would like to get some lenses for it and use it as a backup. Only problem is I don't have any clue what to look for. The lenses from my Nikon Fm SLR sre too small for it, so is there an adapter for lenses so I could use the Nikon lenses? Thanks in advance for any help. I love this forum. Awesome place with nice people. :heart: That seems hard to find nowadays.

Ok, let's start this off right. I've been into photography for about ten years now roughly. Started with a 2 MP digital camera from China. Over the years I've worked my way up with digital cameras, while collecting film cameras for looks. So far, I'm up to a 14.1 MP Kodak camera that takes some amazing shots. I do quite a bit more nature shots than anything. I'm Wiccan, so nature is a second home to me and why I'm so good at nature shots. Anyways though. I decided to get out my Nikon FM SLR and learn with a much better camera and learn film photography. With the camera, I have the general purpose lens, a macro lens (which I can't wait to make use of in Cades Cove), and another lens, I'm not sure about.

So basically, I'm asking does anyone have any tips for a film noobie? I know the very basics of film photography, but that's pretty much it. I'm still trying to figure out all the options on the camera too. Is it possible to find a manual online for it? Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated since this is one of the few hobbies I can do being disabled. Thanks so much! :)

Found this gem at a garage sale for $10. It is in a mint condition. Found out there is a film in there (about 32 shots taken). Took it out and it is a Kodachrome :(. What shall I do? Leave it undeveloped? Spend a lot of money and develop it?

Put a new battery... the metering works.

Only posted the good ones. I developed at Walgreens. Every time almost half the roll doesn't turn out. The colors are always bland too. Is it Walgreens or my camera? Thanks

Hey all, I am not sure where exactly to post this question, but hopefully someone may be of some help.

I have always shot digital, but I've dabbled in film and I want to do a lot more film work so I purchased an Epson V600 to get good quality scans. I need some help though as I have no clue on how to set it up properly. It's when I scan it and use the provided software (will be purchasing VueScan most likely), but I was wondering if there's any way to get the best quality scans?

The settings are a bit confusing for me so any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am playing with an Olympus OM10 and the ASA dial is stuck. I am trying to use Kodak 400 film but the dial is set at 100.

Is there some sort of unlocking button?

Thanks

I'm doing a project for Chemistry on photography. I understand that silver halide crystals in the emulsion layer of the film are sensitive to light, but I don't understand what happens after that? What happens to the grains after the photons hit it? Also, what does this formula mean:

Ag⁺Br^- (crystal) + hv (radiation) --> Ag⁺ + Br+ e^-

THANKS!

What nikon f mount bodies would let me take multiple exposures without advancing the film?
