Another chance to get into film.

[spiralout462]

I just picked my first developed roll of scans out of the mailbox. I uploaded them immediately! Overall, I am pretty happy with the exposures and focus. What a gem of an instrument Ron. Thank you so much, this is gonna be a blast!

This was Fuji Superia 400. Developed and scanned by Dwayne's.

This one I am a little disappointed in. I really wanted to get more motion blur in the pinwheels. They were really humming that day so I chose a little faster shutter speed than I should have. I'll know what to do next time I'm in a similar situation though.

Those are nice spiral. Great sharpness and color render. It looks like exposure is on. I enjoy using the film camera. Thanks for following up on it.

Thank you! Your tractor thread has given me quite a bit of inspiration. Not for repairing equipment, but for shooting film in general. There is something about tractors (especially old ones) that require them to be captured on film in my opinion. I have B & W loaded now so we'll see what happens. I hope I can achieve similar tones and contrast.

You'll have to get a good scanner and do your own digitalizing. Most labs will not do any 'post' work, and if they do it's very minor. Having the ability to scan them yourself will really make your results closer to what you envisioned when the shutter clicked.

Great job! I'm so excited for you!

I've already been looking.

Wow, that is so nice of you to say! That makes me feel good. I am trying a yellow hoya filter on the current rolls. I have all my dates plugged in for the tractor shows, air shows, and balloon festivals, hoping to make a few of them.
I sold my scanner some years back, kind of kicking myself for that, didn't ever consider getting into photography back then.

How much did you have to pay for it ? I can get it for £1 a roll

That's quite a camera...

I find shooting medium format doesn't really make me look like a hipster. Hipsters don't seem to use Mamiyas or Hasselblads around here. They seem to be fond of old Pentaxes and the like. The more obscure the better.
