Anyway, like most places poo poo’s been dire straits around my area for cheap 35mm color film. Walgreens doesn’t even seem to be stocking and the local camera store is charging -$22 for a roll of Portra. Just found out that Meijer has 3x36 of Fuji 200 in stock for $18 though so I’m definitely hitting that poo poo up tomorrow.

Shot some 35mm Delta 3200 the other day. I’ve used 120 before, so I knew it’d be grainy, but not this grainy. Shot at box speed and developed with HC-110, dilution B. Might try DD-X next time(?) Having such a fast film for dark places like the museum I was at is awesome, but I would like to tame the grain a bit without significantly loving over the sharpness, if possible.

I'm not convinced that there's a whole lot you can do with Delta3200 at 35mm.

I shot Delta 400 at 1600 in 35mm recently and was pretty happy with the results (compared to say, HP5 at 1600 which is insanely grainy). Maybe try that instead?

I personally don't bother with Delta 3200 if I want a 3200 speed B&W film. I usually just push HP5 or Kentmere 400 3 stops in development and I've liked the results.

Good suggestions. Thanks for the tips. To be honest I probably could’ve shot at 1600 and still kept decently high shutter speeds in that setting.

How do all y'all color calibrate your scanners? Is it even worth it? I see that the people from Silverfast sell color calibration transparencies. Will the resulting icc profile have any impact on color negative film? Or are there so many fudge factors with C41 that the impact of a perfectly color calibrated scanner is negligible?

that calibration is most useful if you're trying to create icc profiles for random printer/paper combos. i wouldn't use it for just scanning film/

I did color calibration for scanning E6 slides but I don’t think they should be used for C41. Those calibration targets let you scanner create a color profile that you apply when scanning the matching E6 film so it doesn’t make sense to use them for negatives.

But shouldn't there be something for C41? The whole point of cal targets is to create a proper mapping between input and output. Is that not equally important in all color scans, positive or negative?

Had some relatives visiting from out of town and they wanted to visit the same air museum that I was at the weekend before. Figured it'd be a good chance to try pushing HP5+ two stops. In the end, I think I do prefer this tack to Delta 3200 at box speed, but I did have a little more trouble with dynamic range and controlling contrast. Still though, seems like a good option. Definitely less grainy! Had trouble maintaining detail in the lighter areas with the one below. Even a minor reduction in brightness would lead to lovely artifacting.

I shoot quite a bit of Delta 3200 as it's my go to concert stock. It is very, very grainy, even on 120 film. 120  Wardruna07.jpg by Iain Compton, on Flickr  Wardruna09.jpg by Iain Compton, on Flickr Vs 135  Spotmatic009.jpg by Iain Compton, on Flickr  Spotmatic003.jpg by Iain Compton, on Flickr

I'm half-considering getting baby's first 120 camera. Is there really anything separating the plethora of TLRs in the $300 range? Is it worth is to spend a little more and get something like a RB67?

I had a TLR for a while but decided I didn’t like the fixed focal length (plus the camera itself was a clapped-out POS) so I jumped to a Bronica 6x6 system. I’ve probably put $500 or so into the camera and a few lenses, so the cost does go up fast, but I didn’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on a good TLR. Just not worth the money to me.

I loving love my Mamiya C3. The C series does have interchangeable lenses, and I do have a bunch of different focal lengths but almost all of my work with it is done at 80mm so not having other lenses for it wouldn't be a deal breaker. YMMV. Your choice of MF camera shoudl probably be more informed by the form factor than anything else. If you're not sold on the TLR life then do you want something that feels like a honkin' huge 35mm camera (Pentacon 6/Kiev 60/GX690)? Do you want a brick that's completely modular (Hasselblad/Arax 88/Bronica)? Something that feels like an Instax (Mamiya Super 23 Press)?

Bronicas are awesome and will give you just as much quality as a Hasselblad or Mamiya (GS-1 user here).

A TLR and an RB are not really cameras I'd cross-shop; the RB is really quite big and heavy even for an MF camera, whereas a TLR can generally fit into most camera bags as an extra "might as well bring it along" thing. Both good for their own thing (the RB more intentional studio work such as portraits, the TLR for street or landscapes) but very different cameras. There's no law against using an RB in the field, but if you handle one you'll see why most people don't.

This is also pretty solid advice: a cheap TLR is a good way to get into MF but aside from building a Mamiya C system I wouldn't say it's worth paying a premium for a "nice" one. You can probably still get a functioning TLR for under $100. I'll also throw out the recommendation of a folder if you want portability; I've been eyeing a 6x9 like the Moskva for a while, but have too many cameras/project cameras ATM to justify buying one more. The Zeiss Super Ikonta's are also pretty good and probably what I'd be looking at if I was after a 6x6.

I glanced at the Ikonta and kinda discounted it, but I don't have experience with rangefinders or TLRs so it's not like I'm making informed decisions here. My get just went TLR since all of my experience is with reflex cameras. Fixed normal lens is fine, I almost never take the 50 off of my 35mm

I love a TLR. The Minolta Autocord is stellar and you can still get them for cheap. I've also had a Mamiya C220 but they start getting to the size and weight were I'd rather just carry an SLR but it's definitely the cheapest way to get into a medium format system with interchangeable lenses. In saying that I did recently get a Bronica S2 as my final 6x6 system and I'm loving it. It's a very well designed well considered camera, the lug placement and how it hangs on a strap is extremely nice. It's a great size too and the lenses are also really nice.

My Moskva 5 folding 6x9 is amazing for street portraits. You say 'would it be ok if I took your picture?' while pushing the button that makes the whole thing unfold and people invariably say yes.

The Yashica D is a good TLR that isn't too expensive. I like that the focus and advance are on the same side of the camera so you don't have to juggle it between your hands like a rolleiflex. I have a Bronica SQ-Ai + lenses and other poo poo I want to get rid of, if you're interested I could figure out a price and post in the buy/sell thread.
