Recently I was was given a Nikkormat FTN by a friend of mine and it was in surprisingly nice condition. The meter didn't work but everything else seemed to function well. I was going to shoot it but man I've always wanted to take photos with one of these classic tanks of a camera. The light...

I have a Minolta x-700 that came with a Vivitar 550FD flash that isn’t being triggered. I’ve been asked to take photos for a friends event next weekend. While typically my photos are daytime/outdoors, she wants film photos (indoor and evening) for the event. I’d like to use the flash as I...

I never photographed a 4th of July parade on film before. My town's parade was a total washout of lots of rain so I missed out on it...luckily my town does their parade in June rather so I was able to go to a different town to photograph their parade and decided to shoot the whole thing on film...

Greetings. I'm new to this forum. Also new to film photography. I picked up a Canon A-1 and got its 50mm kit lens. The lens works great. And, while I don't rely on it, the digital exposure meter still functions and is accurate relative to my Canon R5's meter. It's also pretty accurate...

I'm pretty new to film photography, but I know already that I want to take low-light photos. I also like old rangefinders for their compact size. I know that some cameras, after you manually set the aperture and ISO, will pick the shutter speed for the light available, but only up to a certain...

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...

I'm doing a B&W 35mm photo essay and I busted out my old Konica Minolta DiMage Scan Dual IV film scanner, but I don't have the 35mm film strip or the 35mm slide holders for it! I've tried tracking down replacements on the internet with absolutely no luck. From what I understand, the slide...

Hey guys, new to the forum so this is my first post. I live in the Cayman Islands & I recently bought the Canon EOS 3 - 35mm film camera (without a lens). It's in excellent condition with all functions working including the LCD panel. I ordered the 50mm Canon EF 1.8 lens & attached it with ease...

Hi, just recently bought a film camera and I have been experimenting around. I was just wondering what I am doing wrong which leads to sections of my developed and scanned film having black patches. Attached are a few examples, some are more extreme than the other as you can see. Also I don't...

Hi all, I am brand new to the forum! I will admit, I mainly came on here for help figuring out what kind of camera is in this photo. It is not a detailed photo at all but I thought there might be enough clues to narrow it down. Why do I need to find out what camera this is? I bought this point...

Hello guys, I am new and also glad to be here. I just got back my first roll of film ever from the lab and starting off here with a problem. I am using a fujica stx-1 slr. In the bottom left side of picture no.3 attached there is some kind of blurry reflection of a rug I recognize from my...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, so apologies if this is in the wrong thread. However, could anyone help identify the photographer and camera used for this film photograph of Audrey Hepburn? I tried searching around, but details seem unknown other than the photo was taken in 1955. Any guesses...

Hi everyone, I just got my first camera from my friends for my birthday, I think they got it from some photographer and that it's used, it's praktica plc3 and I watched few tutorials on YouTube on how to use it, but I fail to understand how to change ISO/ASA on my camera. I inserted a film...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone might be able to inform me of the roughage of this film? I recently bought my first medium format camera and the lady gave me this roll of film with it. I know it's old, but I can't quite figure out how old. Or even if it's worth trying to shoot with...

I am transferring 8mm to digital using my Galaxy A10. Can anyone tell me the best android software I could use. I would like to slow down the frame rate to 12/14fps and I am not clear if I should set the anti-banding to off. Any suggestion other then “you can't do it” would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, I've been shooting expired black and white film on my Leica Mini Zoom camera. I usually have been finding the expired film at second hand stores. I recently came across some Kodak Plus -X 125 Film (125PX) black and white negative film. I was curious if anyone could explain to me the...

I am brand new to photography and the style I am most inspired by is that of very old vintage photos. I found a random old photograph on the internet and needed help determining what type of film and camera would be best to take photos that resemble this style/vibe. ( see link )...

so, i am aware dslr aren't meant to do videos, but I have seen great films and even movie taken with a dslr. I want that cinematic look. what lens can give me the best video look as well as also being very versatile and can take great photos as well? Like for video/film i'll love to be able to...

First attempt at posting to a gallery so here goes.... Shot this on a 1940 Voigtländer Bessa RF on Ilford Delta 100 (120)

Hi, I don’t speak English that well so sorry for any mistakes. I have Minolta x-700 and kodak 200 gold and I’m going to Hawaii, California etc. so very sunny places and I’m planning to photograph in the daylight. Everyone keeps telling me to follow the sunny 16 rule so that means that I should...
