Hey all! I was out taking photos and dropped a lens (never felt my heart stop like that) and the top lens cap is not coming off... in fact it's jammed inside the lens itself. I heard something break and can hear something moving around inside the lens. The lens mount rail is slightly damaged in...

Hello. My name is Pavle. I'm a young photographer. I have just started, so I'm a beginner so I'm still learning. Focus (that square thing) was set on this guy's body (stomach) and not face. What I'm trying to ask is if that (square) is on his stomach will only part of that body (stomach) be in...

Hi everyone, I recently picked up my Yashica after a brief hiatus of about a month, and to my dismay, the shutter button would stick down and I could no longer advance the winding lever. The last time I had used this camera was knee-deep in snow in Yosemite, and I did notice the shutter button...

Hey folks! Forum newbie here. I'm selling off some of my camera collection and when testing my F/N50 (w/o film), I noticed that no matter what aperture I set in manual mode the camera seems to apply near to maximum aperture for half a second after the shutter closes again after an exposure...

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...

wondering if anyone else has used this combo yet and if they have any tips. developed my first roll today and it seemed ok, (could see images on the negatives) but once I scanned and attempted to invert the images the photos were mainly blue and white. I followed the cs41 kit's temps and times...

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...

I had this kr 10 super from my great grandpa, and on one occasion it decided to jam itself after the last frame. Mirror is still up, iris arm is still active and the shutter is 2/3 the way up the frame. Cocking arm doesn’t move and shutter button doesn’t do anything. Batteries were ok, but I...

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 )...

I've been using an HP Envy 17inch for a number of years and been very happy with it. But it is showing signs of age (battery life and performance) and it's time to replace. I have never used a Mac and so don't really see that as an option for me (too stuck in my ways). I am currently looking at...

I was on vacation at an Inn overlooking the Pacific Ocean. I planned on getting some sunset pictures and was pretty successful with that. About 20 minutes after pitch black, I got an unexpected surprise - a full moon rose over the mountain. I quickly got my tripod and my Canon T5i that I...

My friend recently inherited their grandfathers camera and it used mercury 1.4v batteries. Does anyone know what can be used as a substitute? The convertor is not the same voltage needed and I highly doubt mercury batteries are still made/sold. Thank you in advance!

Hello, so for the last probably two years I've been using a pretty good cannon camera the SX40 Power Shot to take all of my photos (that's a lie I use my phone too) but I can't swap lenses on it and I'm kind of just growing out of it. My question to you is what is the best intermediate camera...

Hello! I’m searching everywhere to find an answer to something I’m noticing on my new EF 16–35mm f2.8L USM iii. My question is: Have you found the newer 16-35 iii is slightly darker and has a slightly narrower field of view than the older version ii? Or is it just my particular lens? I’m...

Hey guys! I have been working on a web application the last couple of weeks which helps people, especially new to analog photography figuring out which film might be the best for them. The site will list all available films with the associated facts. Furthermore it will let you filter films...

I have a question straight away but I should give a little background first. I have inherited my father's Durst m700 enlarger with a colour head and various other equipment. I used to help him develop enlarged prints and film in the 70s. He won a Minolta competition once and was a member of the...

This is the second time this has happened to me and I am in a panic! I am not sure if the culprit is my new Sony A6000 or a bad SD Card. I had mini sessions this morning and after my second family I saw that I could not playback the most recent images in camera. Since this happened once...

Every 5-10 photos I take with my new Fuji XT3 camera in RAW, I discover unsettling bars of black located at the top of the image which distorted and skews the edges. I was wondering if there is an in camera setting to get rid of this, software update, or just a defective camera? Imgur What...
