I have a phone app that overlays bounding boxes for the focal lengths of my LF lenses. This is a great help in deciding where to put up the tripod.

I like the atmosphere here but it feels like it's lacking something. It's like the scene would be prime for a Crewdson style portrait.

A Saucy Bratwurst posted:Also, the fact that this dude will attack me every time I post makes me think I get attacked for posting in the dorkroom. Have you considered not posting like a 12 year old? The people who are being "dicks" are right, you are looking at film as a magic bullet not an aesthetic or procedural choice. If you think you can't take similar pictures on a "lovely crop rebel" to any other camera then you aren't gonna gain much by buying into medium or large format. The only difference is now your bad photos cost $3 a piece. If you want to shoot film go right ahead but you better have deep pockets. Sure film gets you a few things not available on your "lovely crop rebel" such as a shallow DOF from the larger medium, the better highlight roll off of Portra, the tonality of a larger capture medium, and the simplicity of a chosen color palette. Depending on what you shoot and how you present your work the differences can be minimized, not every exposure needs to be on the bleed edge of the format war. In fact if you can tell me which photos in my portfolio were shot with mf/lf and which ones were on a 16mp Fuji crop camera I'll eat my own rear end.

The XKCD Larper posted:I bought a lens and they shipped it to the wrong address. They gave me a full refund after I called them. I drove to the house that it went to and it was on the porch, so I took it, used it for a little while, then sold it on eBay. I once bought an LF lens from their ebay store marked as "UG - not functional" just for the lens cells but it turns out no one at KEH knows how to cock and fire an ilex shutter and it was totally fine.

Awkward Davies posted:So my girlfriends father just gave me a roll of Kodachrome 64, and a couple rolls of Ektachrome (100 and 200 speed). The Kodachrome expired 1988 but it's been in a fridge. What are the chances it's still shootable, and can you even get it developed anywhere? There's a dude on etsy that will develop it for like $50 https://www.etsy.com/shop/PiratelogyStudios

I'm gonna rush out and give the dude my kodachrome but I am keeping an eye on it just incase he get's it right at some point. I have 2 rolls of K64 and one of K25 in my freezer that arrived too late from ebay to get dewayned back in the day.

Awkward Davies posted:I mean that's totally possible, too. Maybe I didnt advance it so the arrows on the film lined up with that of the camera before closing the back? I don't know. Or your camera is out of alignment, the frame spacing doesn't look consistent on the strip you posted. If the camera is eating up extra space you would end up with half a frame at the end.

Primo Itch posted:Can you separate the shutter from the rest of the camera? Sometimes leaving it in a bath of ligther fluid for a day or two with intermittent agitation, then letting everything evaporate works for fixings old shutters. Note that this is usually for large format shutters where you can separate them from everything else in the camera... The lighter fluid trick is really only a stop gap measure on the way to a CLA. The naphtha dissolves the gummed up lubricant which causes the sticking but an unlubricated shutter will eventually fail again,

A side benefit of the C lenses is that they are smaller than the later CF ones. I had a beat to hell t* C lens and it was extremely compact (for a medium format SLR).

I never tried the wood handle on my p67 because it's a big SLR why wouldn't you just hold it like a reg SLR and use your left hand as support? Nope better grab this idiot handle and make my expensive negative machine less stable. Also shutter priority is stupid.

SMERSH Mouth posted:A lot of the Rolleiflexes I see for sale have a selenium cell light meter below the brand mark on the front. Those are all pretty much non-functioning (or at least inaccurate) these days, right? Just use a separate meter, or follow your heart, but don't GAF about the integrated meter. Often the listings don't say anything about their functionality, one way or another. Never trust a selenium cell meter unless you bought it brand new and have thoroughly tested it.

sildargod posted:Our wedding season is starting to pick up a little and I'd like to get a medium format setup to complement my kit. Unless you are a seasoned MF shooter I don't recommend you get a complicated kit to use at weddings. Get one camera and one lens. My recommendation is a Fuji gw690. It's simple, sharp as hell, runs about $300 online, and gives you a huge negative. The downside is that that it's got an f/3.5 lens, it's a rangefinder, and it doesn't focus particularly close (it won't let you do tight face shots but head and shoulders would be fine). 8th-snype fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Well can sort of be answered. The Rodenstock will probably be fine stopped down to working apertures (f/22 or deeper) both them and Schneider tended to be quite conservative in their official measurement of the image circle because of possible loss of resolution at the edges and corners that no sane person would ever notice. For instance I owned a Schneider 240mm that technically only just covered 8x10 but I never ran out of image with modest movements.
