Gaffer tape fixes this and serves as a reminder that you remembered to actually load your camera. What's up with the A12 back, I see some have the "Made by" text and some don't?

A GS690II is on my list of wanted cameras. From what I hear the optics are amazing.

What did you meter say regarding exposure time? Or, how many extra seconds did you add in order to compensate for the reciprocity failure?

^^^ That's some nice light right there. How's Lou as a person? I like his photography but I couldn't stand his stance back in the day - he was all about ~*SOOC*~ I have a question about the noise levels in my scans. I scan using V500 and VueScan. The latest roll I scanned seems ok, but the shots have what I think is too much noise, and I'm trying to figure out of the noise is due to the film/scanner/scanning technique. Here is a 100% crop of a Portra 400 frame, scanned at 3200dpi:  I haven't seen this kind of noise on my shots before, it doesn't look like film grain to me. I'm wondering of VueScan is underexposing my frames when I select them for a scan. I kind of wish I had a macro lens to 'scan' a frame that way and compare.

I personally don't think this camera is for me. I wouldn't buy it for the same reason I wouldn't buy a Holga. I'd rather save up the money for the real thing. As a toy camera it's great but the costs associated with it are prohibitive (cost of film, developing, etc)

Buy one now and store it away. Then sell it to the future people with an impressive markup.* * Provided the chemicals/film exists in 30 years.

When I needed KEH to replace the faulty SQ-Ai body they sent me, they did it without blinking an eye ( there was a quick troubleshooting process over the phone). I got the new one in 3-5 business days. I'm in canada and they paid for the shipping.

So I shot some Velvia 50 on a sunny day one day. And of course I'm an idiot so I overexposed every single shot, except for like 2. I think it's time for a real light meter.. Worst shot:  Best shot:

alkanphel posted:Well to be fair if you're gonna shoot Velvia 50 on a sunny day, you'll probably have to do some bracketing. Light meter won't really help with shooting that kind of high contrast scene on Velvia. Yea, and I was metering all wrong (I blame the heat) - I was metering at 90 degrees, like this | . I should have metered for the asphalt. VomitOnLino posted:Yeah bracketing is okay. Alas.. maybe I'm dense (hurr hurr), but I managed to gently caress up slides with bracketing, too. I used an indicent meter and bracketed just on the wrong side of things - on both counts. Whoops! Yea this is my next buy. I was going to buy a macro lens for my digital camera to scan negatives, but better metering is more important. I'm expecting to spend about $300-400 which is not that bad. 8th-samurai posted:I bracket anything that has tricky exposure/contrast. Generally I'll just take an extra shot over or under the first one not like a full three to five shot bracket. I should have done that, but I only have 1 roll of Velvia left and wanted to spare some frames. But I ended up with 10 wasted frames instead. Lesson learned

I mean, it sounds like a cool project, to gently caress around with in your lab or whatever. But to sell it as a product? That's pushing the limits of what useless or ridiculous things people would buy.

I recently lost access to an okay monitor so I have to edit photos on my laptop. Now, when I edit the photo on the laptop I think it looks alright. When I view it on my tablet, it's not as saturated and more green. On my phone it looks greenish but not as much as on the tablet. I know not to trust phone and tablet displays too much, even though they're nexuses with non-lovely displays, but can anyone with a calibrated monitor tell me how they see the photo below in terms of color? I'm curious to know which screens are lying to me.

I've been thinking for a while to get a rangefinder MF camera, and I saw this Fujifilm GS690 II with a 90mm lens for $550. It sounds like a good price, is it though? Also, the photo shows a GW690, not a GSW so I'm wondering if it's legit..

Keh only has the GL690 for $450ish BGN. I'll check ebay, that's a good idea e: hmm, ebay has it at buy it now for 450-550. I'll check the camera in person and if it's good I'll get it. bobmarleysghost fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Nov 29, 2013 |

On my screen it looks too green. I copied it into PS and did a really quick edit which revealed red in the shadows. Give this a try - tone down the red in the shadows, increase midtone blue, and tune from there. Just my 2c.
