If I pick up an AE-1 will my canon EF mount lenses work with them? I'm assuming there would be no AF drive right? For some reason I think shooting some Portra with the 85 1.2 would be pretty fun.

No, you won't get to mount EF lenses on an FD-mount camera. There are two problems, first the FD mount has a shorter flange focal distance, meaning you would need a mount converter with optical elements, which would make it much more expensive and degrade picture quality, and second is that EF lenses are controlled electronically (in particular the aperture control is electronic) while FD lenses are controlled mechanically, so you wouldn't be able to control the aperture of the lens either.

Awesome, thanks. I have a bunch of bodies and lenses that I inherited (film) so when I get back to the states in a week, it's cleaning them up and trying out film!

FYI the register distance is higher on FD so you could have a glassless adapter. The aperture control problem remains. You can get a decent film EOS body for peanuts though.

Yep get an Eos 3 or 1n, all your EF lenses will work but not EFS obviously.

It's kind of a mix and match of everything, so if I did use anything out of it, it'd be like 2 things...so yeah. Like I said above, I really just need to get myself an EOS-3 so I can use the glass I have. That'll be a start anyways.

unpacked robinhood posted:It's probably going to be weeks before I get all the stuff to develop at home. Finally got around to develop the roll too. What I did: Rodinal 1+50 (8 ml dev, water up to 400 ml total), temperature 20 C Develop for 6 minutes, one inversion per minute Stop with water Fix for 3 minutes in Ilford Rapid Fixer The result is pretty bad. The roll is definitely damaged/partially flashed. There are some odd patterns on it that almost look like fireworks, radiating splotches of clear film on the exposed roll. It seems I did manage to get a few pictures on it, but they are poor contrast. The development probably needs to be adjusted. However, since it was a short length of film (about 12-15 exposures worth) it doesn't say much about how the film further in on the original long roll will be, there is a good chance it's less flashed and more usable. Waiting for the film to dry now, will post pictures later.

Spedman posted:If the shipping isn't too bad, maybe get this instead: Have processed almost 200 rolls with Digibase kits in the past two years, got very good results with every single one of them. Also, looks like Ferrania is being heavily subsidized by the Italian government, which at the beginning may be a good thing, but can turn out actually a curse, hopefully they can kickstart a self sustaining business. We'll see.

I don't know the terms, it's probably local funds being used (may even be EU funds?), but they (Ferrania) mention it explicitly in the press release. Edit: looks like it's the local government. Probably they're reclaiming the original facilities and giving a shot at starting up a business that will create jobs. Seems a not-so-outlandish plan: http://www.filmferrania.it/news/the-lrf/2014 maxmars fucked around with this message at 10:17 on Sep 1, 2014 |

 IMG_0890.jpg by joshuavorse, on Flickr Hi, I'm new, have been lurking for a while, and though this was worth posting. I got a Canon A35F from craigslist the other day, and put a roll through it already. I'd never used a rangefinder style camera before, so it was kinda a novelty to shoot with, and I'll definitely hang on to it. I came across this one by chance, and wondered if anyone has another particular rangefinder they like, or know of any that would be worth keeping an eye out for?

If you don't have much of a budget and want to go fully manual the FSU rangefinders can be fun. My favorite is the FED 2. Some of the Russian lenses are pretty awesome for the price, too. They basically took a few Zeiss factories back to Russia on trains as war reparations after WW2 and started producing their own copies using the German tooling.

acev posted:Hi, I'm new, have been lurking for a while, and though this was worth posting. Congrats, that's a nice camera to shoot with. I also like FSU rangefinders, the FED 2 with the collapsible 50mm lens is sweet though you don't get a light meter.. May be a bit intimidating. The Cosina-produced Voigtlander Bessa serie is a cheap way to get into rangefinders using a modern camera. It's not very tough though. I have the R model and find it nice to use. In the end the two rangefinder cameras I use the most happen to be non-assisted focus cameras, used with a small external rangefinder, because they have great lenses and are so small I can always carry them with me (Rollei 35 and Minox GT-E).

I'm picking up an EOS-3 that's in great condition for $225. Seems like a decent deal and from adorama, so I can trust it. Is it work picking up a kit to process the negatives, or should I dive into that later? Seems that B&W might be more of a process.

B&W developing at home is absurdly easy and you should be doing it. It'll be cheaper than sending to a lab after some 5 rolls.

unpacked robinhood posted:Thanks for taking the time though. I've finished my move and I'm still quite happy to give this weird old film a shot. Maybe a piece from further towards the center of the spool is less flashed/damaged? Edit, this is from a couple of pages back: BANME.sh posted:I know some pros still exclusively use film, and more and more hobbyists are taking to film for it's aesthetic value, but how much time is left, really? I know this is impossible to answer but I feel like total film abandonment is inevitable in less than 20 years. You can still buy a buggy whip (and their quality is much higher than when they were a daily necessity). You can still fly in a hot-air balloon. You can sail across the ocean in a wooden ship. Old tech never dies, it just quietly sits in an out of the way place and benefits from improvements in materials and manufacturing techniques. Even if you have to cut it to 35mm wide with sprokets yourself, you'll be able to get film in 10, 20, 50, and 100 years. ExecuDork fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Sep 3, 2014 |

It looks like I could get a tank, Ilford ID-11 and Formulary TF-4 and be covered, right? I looked around for the Rodinal you guys are talking about and it must either be hard to find or go by a different name. Well, those plus measuring cups and clips etc. And a doohickey to actually open the canisters. Huxley fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Sep 3, 2014 |

Rodinal goes under many names today, but not the original one. I think the most common is R09, you might also see Adonal.
