What do you use to scan your 35mm?

Epson v600, why?

I have a v600 and never got scans this good

I can't pretend I know what I'm doing. You can see my settings below. Once I scan them in, I do dust clean up, and adjust the levels to make sure the white/black points are correct in Photoshop. Then I'll pull them into Lightroom and do any final adjustments before uploading.

Here's my settings:

Too much text, not enough photo

XA2, as usual.

I went to Tokyo for two days and stumbled around alone and jet lagged and took bad photos

Photos from Beijing. I was less jetlagged so I have less of an excuse for their shittyness.

Definitely much better. Colors are pretty saturated, but the red definitely is reduced.

I'm going on a 4.5 month backpacking trip in just over a week. I currently don't have a camera except for my phone (Nexus 5X), am I going to really benefit from getting a camera? I used to have a Nikon D80 but found that I just didn't really take it out that much because it was such a hassle.

I guess what I'm asking is it worth using a camera over your phone if you're a lovely photographer?

I'm a lovely photographer and I don't let it stop me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another camera might force you to think about taking photos. If you don't want to do that, don't bring one.

One of the rolls I finally developed was a roll of Ilford 3200 in my weird pano PS. Probably should have used the 3200 as it was meant to be used, but oh well.

I'm a little sick of my XA/XA2's various problems. If I were willing to spend a fair amount of money on a point and shoot (I dunno, up to $300?), what should I buy? GR1?

GR1's are closer to $400-500. Olympus Mju might be worth checking out, the ones with the 35mm prime lens are basically a newer XA.

Oof :(

Yashica T4?

Hm thats a good point, I'll look into it.

Here, have a picture from a totally lame roll.

Got a GR-1 for Christmas, so I'm pretty excited about making GBS threads up this thread a bunch in the new year.

Anyone have a case they like? I'd like to protect my new Gr-1, rather than just throwing it loose in my bag.

my turn in the barrel posted:

I found an Olympus Stylus Epic DLX 35mm 2.8 in it's original holster at a thrift store for $10. I don't plan on shooting film but might in the future so I took it with.

The battery was dated 2013 and totally dead. I put in a new battery and it's still got half a roll of unexposed film.

I'm going to finish the roll and see if the pictures I take come out to test the camera. Seeing as half the roll will be random found footage that will probably be junk what is the cheapest place that does developing? As I understand it most retail stores pulled their machines in the last few years. Though walgreens website says that they still develop in store if listed as having a photolab.

Find your local photo shop, if not, Walgreens or whatever.
