Hi there,
I recently got a vintage camera which has 'Matahari 35' in the top right. However I can't find mention of this brand anywhere and I'd really like to know the year/history around it. I've posted some pics below....
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hey all.
Was wondering if others have had focus issues (front) on the Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art and D810 combo. I would greatly appreciate some insight into the issue below with the Sigma 35mm F1.4 and D810.

Hi, I have a few older SLRs and lenses that I would like to find a new home for. Would anyone be willing to help me establish the value of them? Please avise if this is not the right forum to ask this.
Thanks.
Hi all, I am looking for a cheap (under 150) wide prime lens for Nikon full frame camera.
Focal length 24 or 28 or 35.
Used, of course.
It can be manual focus only and doesn't need to be so sharp wide open because I intend to use it stopped down almost always.
It can also be third-party...
Hi! I'm looking for a 35 mm camera for starting taking photos because I like the way the photos looks taken with a retro camera, and i feel it's more primal and hard to learn.
I've been looking for some time now and I found those models:
1. Yashica electro 35 from 1971 with guarantee and bill...
Hi,
I'm new to photography and have recently been given a Kodak Colorsnap 35.
Could someone possibly link me to a film that would fit the camera. I know I need a 35mm but will any 35mm fit?
Thanks
Hi all!
I got some film of mine developed at a lab and I've been seeing these weird shadow-y marks around the sprockets.
the lab uses Fuji chemistry and I shoot both Kodak and Fuji, weirdly enough I only see it on Kodak film.
Let me know if you have any ideas of what it could be!
I managed to come across my mom's Pentax MG a few days ago. I've always been interested in shooting film so I picked up some low-end film and batteries today. The camera batteries are working properly, however I can't get the shutter to fire.
Earlier I couldn't get the wind lever to work...
Recently got a Nikon D3400 for christmas and I was interested in getting a nice cheap lens aside from the kit lenses. I came down to the nikon 50mm 1.8 and the 35mm 1.8 however I'm still not entirely sure about the role the DX and FX frames play in the lens. Would I be wasting money to buy a FX...
I'm torn between the two and I can't decide which one I should get next. I've been using the 50mm for now but I'm looking to get better quality and a sharper result. I live in New York so I also want to capture some of the background as well so I don't want to completely blur out my background...
I'm not new to photography but new to film photography. My dad got me a bunch of film cameras a few years ago for really cheap at an estate sale and I finally got around to taking them to my local camera shop a few months ago to find out if any of them worked, however now I completely forget...
This is a total shot in the dark but I thought I might as well try. I am looking for 35mm color film (regular, not for slides) that expired in the year 1963 for a project using exclusively 1960s film. Willing to negotiate price.
I have an older camera, the Nikon D5000. I currently only use the two lens that I received with the kit (18-55, 55-200). I am still working on learning everything, but want to know if the 50mm or 35mm (with the autofocus since that is what works on my camera) would help me improve my portraits...

Hi everyone,
I've been putting a lot of thought into buying a new camera over the past couple of months. Currently I own a Canon 60D which serves me well, but its bulkiness and weight make it a pain to bring along on trips, especially when hiking. I also have access to film SLRs that I use...

Hey guys,
So I bought a Canon A1 the other day with a 50mm lense and shot my first few rolls of film at a party and in the city at night. What I find strange my light meter and the exposures that its giving me. So I shot at ISO400 at the party which was indoors with decent lighting, and it...
Hey guys,
I am a 23 year old photographer based in Orange County, CA. I'm currently working on a film photo project. I shoot with a Minolta X-700 for the most part as I find it to be sturdy and easy to travel with. I'm excited to check out the forums and get to know the community!

Hi there,
I'm new to photography, and am wanting to upgrade from just taking photos on my iPhone.
I've looked around online a fair bit and am quite interested in mirrorless cameras, as well as film cameras. I'm hoping to find some opinions on which of these camera types would be best/better to...
Hi,
I'm more of an intermediate photographer but want to get as many opinions as i can about this question... I'm taking a trip to Italy for three weeks and want a new lens. I'm hoping to not only shoot landscapes but street photography as well. I have a DX format Nikon with a APS-C...
Hey guys. I used to be fairly active on this forum. It's been a couple years and I've since pretty much stopped doing anything with film. When I do, it surely isn't a lot and I have a 12 reel tank that gets much more use than this beast.
This developing tank holds 12 35mm reels or 6 120 reels...
Just recently I purchased a Randomatic film camera in pretty good condition. Only draw back is that I'm about 95% positive the shutter is jammed. I don't know a whole lot about this camera but I would like to and I would love to get it working again. So if anyone knows anything about this...

I just received the Chinon CE-4 that I had ordered and have some questions on it after loading the film. (Keep in mind this is my first film camera- also my first actual good 'camera'- so somethings may be very basic).

Does anyone know of decent copy lenses for vsl1 BM mount? I'm broke and cannot afford the real deal; I would very much appreciate some 35mm experts' input.

Hi everybody,
I decided to enter the world of film photography. Since I have no experience in this field, I wanted to start with something cheap and easy. I found an Agfa Optima 335, but I can't find a lot of info about it online. Do you have any suggestion? Should I buy it?
I bought this brand new lens two years ago and have been using it since then. The lens is in great condition - no scratch or dust. All accessories are included - lens cap, case, and the original box. S35 is considered the best 35mm lens for full frame cameras. It beats Canon 35L on sharpness and...
Hi guys,
Still very new to TPF and I am currently in the planning and gathering stages of building my darkroom! I have no idea what I am looking for when searching for the heart of the darkroom - the enlarger.
