 Shot on Tri-X 400, stand developed with Double D X.  This one's on Portra 400. I've deleted my social media, so it feels so awkward with no immediate way to showcase my photos. thedoorstopper fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Apr 27, 2018 |

Redirect me if this is not the "ask questions" place but I've been itching to shoot film and I have access to a Rollieflex. What are some good places to source film from and recommendations of what to use?

Thanks guys, I picked up a few of each from B&H as the prices there seemed cheapest and shipping was quick (I take the camera this weekend so wanted to get something quick). I fear this is another slippery slope to a lighter wallet... oh well!

I’ve seen talk in here about developing your own film but saying for now I want to keep it simple where would you all trust to have 120 developed?

In the USA, send it to Citizen's Photo in Portland. Call them for details on how you can do mail order, it's not apparent on their website.

Pondex posted:What's the workflow like making a enlargement from a paper negative? Similar to a film-negative? Similar, but it's a much longer exposure. The paper neg goes into the negative carrier on the enlarger emulsion down, just like a cellulose negative. Obviously paper is opaque, so the amount of light that makes it through to the easel is pretty minimal, but it does get there. The paper neg itself tends to be super contrasty, then the enlarger shooting through solid paper turns it all very flat. So you need to use a high contrast filter to get good results. Obviously all the contrast manipulation results in a lot of changes to the quality of the image, but that's the point. There's absolutely no silver grain at all, obviously, but there's some granularity from the paper itself that makes its way to the image. Basically just shoot some 4x5 paper negatives and experiment with them on an enlarger. You'll be surprised at the quality that is possible.

I've enjoyed shooting with my friends Rolleiflex so I bought my own. It's the cheaper T model, arrives today. Also found a local shop that will do both color and b&w developing. Ugh film is super addicting. I am sure the first roll is going to look like hot garbage because ... well all of my stuff looks like hot garbage!

I'll have to try it next time I'm in the darkroom. I've played around a little bit with photograms and contact-printing paper prints but never enlargements.

I just got a good tax return back from the good ol Cananananadian government and I think I wanna take the plunge on a medium format camera. It's been something I've wanted to pursue for years after running around with my Canon AE-1. Been scouting out Mamyia RZ67s on ebay for a few years now; seems the best deal is around 500-600$ CAD including shipping for at least a lens, 120 film back and a prism finder if you're lucky. What was your first medium format? How do you feel about the RZ67, if you have one?

I do not recommend the prism finder - it's ridiculously heavy. I think I used mine once or twice in five years of owning the camera.

I'll keep it in mind and maybe save a couple dollars by avoiding it. Thanks for the tip

It's been something I've wanted to pursue for years after running around with my Canon AE-1. I'm in Vancouver with a Pentax 6x7 as my first MF camera. I mention that I'm also in Canada because the only person in the western hemisphere that repairs them is in the states and it cost me $550 CAD to repair/CLA after taking it out in the rain carelessly for 30 min or so. I really like the process of using the 6x7 and I love the negative size which is obviously shared with the RZ67. I think if I could do this again I would go for a MF camera that is fully mechanical so I don't have the headache of it (the metering prism which was a huge bonus just stopped working). The camera is beyond heavy and I have 3 lenses for it. With those lenses and the body+metering prism in an older Billingham bag I would say it's almost 20lb on the shoulder. If you're a person who likes to walk around shooting it becomes a bit much and it makes you want to leave a lens or two in the car.

My first was the Arax 88 CM-MLU. Since then I've picked up a few more MF cameras from 6x6 up to 6x9 but the Arax is still my go-to 'serious MF' camera. Like Alkanphel's Hasselblad, it's modular, not super heavy (especially if you use the WLF instead of the prism finder) and the P6 lens mount opens up a huge range of really good glass options. I've put hundreds of rolls through it and it has never let me down. It's about the same cost as those eBay Mamiyas but it's a new camera with a warranty.
