film

I'm still experimenting with film and I finally got the film I used last fall developed. I shot using a Yashica FX-2 with the Yashica DSB 50mm f/1.9 and I believe what happened was the trees was frame 35 and that was the last frame do to me not loading it precisely, I lost a little of space on...

Picked up an A1 that was sold as parts. Initially no signs of life. After having a battery in for a while the LEDs are coming on when the buttons are pressed. Pushing the shutter button all the way turns of the LEDs and the mirror or shutter doesn't move. It can be triggered mechanically under...

Just another photograph taken on my Holga 120N using Ilford HP5 400 About the photo, this is one of my favorite spots that I like to walk through. It's just a peaceful area with the view of the mountains, a horse farm and the wildflowers on the side of the road. It's just always makes me...

I'll be honest, I purchased this last August and then got covid and felt terrible for over a month and its been sitting my closet since. I probably should use it. I haven't even opened it yet. I don't know what I'm waiting for, I just haven't felt the courage yet to use the silly thing! I...

Hi! I recently purchased a Pentax Espio 738 point and shoot film camera and I’m having trouble trying to gage what ‘mode’ to use. It has multiple different modes (flash, bulb, daylight etc.) however I am never quite sure which one to use. Is it better to use the default mode (no icon displayed...

Hello, apologies for what must be an irritating question for film photography enthusiasts, but I mean well. Over the past month or two I've been researching and trying to learn about the basics of film photography, as while I have a digital camera that works fantastic (a Sony a3000) and I've...

I processed two rolls of color film (they all color plus 200),one after they other. same chemicals and same temperature, in my Jobo,but the film base color is different. The one on the right looks good, but the one on the left looks off in comparison. Any one has any ideas what cause this to...

I know there will be more grain using a high ISO film, but I was wondering will there be any difference in the colour performance? For example, two properly exposed images with the same colour intensity using ISO 200 and ISO 400 film respectively, will the one using ISO 400 perform better in...

Taken on my new PENTAX spotmatic on Kodak Ektar 100 film.

I just shot a roll of kodak 200 gold film and sent my roll to a film development lab to get it developed and scanned. When I received the digital scans of the roll they ended up with random squiggly lines throughout the scans. What's the cause of this?

Hi Everyone! I am reaching out to anyone who might have information on the Olympus Medical Pen-F and SF33E microscope adapter. I have failed to find a instruction manual for the camera, or know of the kind of microscope this adapter connects to. I do have an Olympus metallurgical microscope...

Hi everyone, I'm a digital camera user for day and astrophotography, but really want to get into using film like I did as a kid with my dad. Not afraid of manual mode as I rarely even use aperture or shutter priority on my digital at the moment All I ask (for convenience) is a reasonable...

There may be an answer to this question somewhere else but I am a little confused. If I shoot Portra 400 35mm at 200 ISO instead of box speed, do I need to let the lab know to develop it differently? If so, what is the difference and why can’t the over exposure be achieved by developing the film...

This is my first camera. I'm decent at framing shots and like to take pictures with my Pixel 3A. My mom recently bought me this Yashica. I know very little about film and want to find a manual for this camera or one similar. All I know at the moment is how to pop it open, how to wind up and...

Hey there. Just found a Rolleiflex 6002 on craigslist that was originally picked up at an estate sale from a deceased photographer. On the front of the camera, under the lens, it says "Service Equipment" and then under that "Property of Rollei". I have never seen anything like this on one of...

This print has a date imprint in the border of Mar 71. That would mean it was taken in December 70 if that is the print date (my birthday is in December). Or it was taken in Dec 71 if imprint is the date the paper was produced. My mother says that this is my 7th birthday suggesting the latter...

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to film photography but here's the problem. Few months ago my camera(praktica plc3) shutter stuck and I wanted to get it fixed but it was too expensive at the time. In the meantime I got a new same camera body, for a cheap price. So, at the time of shutter...

Hello everyone! My name is Charles and I live in Coventry, UK. I've been into photography for a long time, starting off with digital as many my age do (I'm in my mid 20s). I progressed from a cheap Samsung point and shoot to a Canon EOS 1100D, then a 60D and currently a 6D. My big interest at...

The camera is a: Canon Rebel EOS 2000 So, my partner wanted to start doing film photography and got this camera as a hand-me-down. I've had experience with film cameras, but usually they have a manual crank and this one has a little digital screen. I figured it would be easy enough and loaded...

So I've been using this camera for a few weeks now and I use 400 film and my ISO/ASA is at 400 as well. I never change my settings but somehow some of my photos come out under exposed. Do i need to change my settings up to 1000 when shooting outdoors in the day or should i lower it to 200 or...
