I picked up an old camera on eBay. I used to own one just like this, but it went missing when I lived in a house where a lot of my things went missing.   I'm exceptionally pleased with it. So much so that I'm pricing film development kits.

Fermented Tinal posted:Silents and Boomers. Yeah right wing media has convinced olds that BIG GUBBMINT is coming to take away your incandescent bulbs and also using them owns the libs so any hardware store that stops carrying them will probably face backlash as stupid as that sounds. I know incandescents are legitimately better for a lot of applications, but I think it's mostly the first thing.

But if you can make it work more power to you. You don't have to imagine, the r/relationships thread in GBS curates them for you. More power to people if they can hack it, but jealousy and lack of communication tends to cause implosions.

I'm not him, but to me film/etc is just more fun? Digital I tend to spray and pick out decent stuff later, film gets me thinking about what is in the frame a lot more. Maybe that's a crutch but it's one I enjoy.

The Fit that wouldn't start last week even when it "warmed up" to the 20s started today at 6 degrees. I think it's because I made sure it ran long enough to warm up every day. The Impreza almost didn't start, but decided to in the end. But -25, man, poo poo.

I've used a couple of DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, and I found I was missing the feeling and the control of my old Minolta. I guess I learned on that camera and the muscle memory never went away. I bought another one for 1/10th the price of a high quality digital camera, and I never have to worry about my sensor not being good enough. I can just get a different roll of film.

Difference being film is still a fantastic medium for quality purposes whereas vinyl is a bit poo poo. There are people who will claim it's the be-all and end-all of formats but the industry refers to those people as; idiots. (I understand you're talking about the experience but I will use any chance to dunk on vinyl purists).

I once sold all my digital stuff, went back to film with an expensive Leica setup, than sold that and went back to digital Shooting film is fun, but it can get expensive when you're shooting a bunch then need developing, and then converting it to a good quality digital image which you are going to need, so you might as well shoot digital to begin with Plus it's more of a pain dealing with different ISOs and stuff. Oh you were shooting low ISO film and now it's cloudy or the sun is going down? welp you're hosed unless you want to burn through the rest of the film and put something higher in....if you have it. Film is fun in small doses but if you shoot a lot it's not worth it imo unless you have your own dark room and negative scanner or something.

The sensor is always good enough - Digital passed film in ability 15 years ago and lapped it 4 times since. Your phone will rip film a new rear end in a top hat quality and ability-wise. The only valid reason for film these days is to learn and thats a good reason. Everyone interested in photography needs to be grounded in the basics and film being uncompromising teaches them fast. Developing film also grounds in what Lightroom is to digital. The old Pentax gets used now and then but its only because ... why not?

BlackMK4 posted:Yeah, this is certainly not the case. 35mm can be compared with current full frame sensors, medium format blows them away, then you have large format. That's not a like-for-like comparison. An incredibly small percentage of people have ever even used a medium format camera, much less large. In the consumer world, cameras that rival 35mm film are cheap and easy to use. That's a tough fact to argue against. Edit: sorry, started before your edit, so there's that.

I don't know how many people here are old enough to remember CDs coming out, but coming from records and cassettes it was amazing. I remember buying my first CD boombox, then getting Led Zeppelin 4 on CD and being completely blown away by the sound quality. I was happy to replace all my records and cassettes with CDs and have never thought once about ever going back to that.

I remember buying my first CD boombox, then getting Led Zeppelin 4 on CD and being completely blown away by the sound quality. I was happy to replace all my records and cassettes with CDs and have never thought once about ever going back to that. I've literally never played a record but yeah my early music collecting days were on cassette and once I could afford to get my own CD player, I never went back. I will say, based on Techmoan's various reviews of older high-end gear, it seems like the real limiting factor on tape was money. A high-end cassette tape deck, playing a well-mastered cassette with the proper noise reduction, sounds as good as anything else. The tape deck was a variable you could control to some extent by throwing a large amount of money at it, the latter, not so much. Poorly mastered cassettes and cheap decks were vastly more common, and sounded like utter trash. CDs (and every digital format to follow) removes the vast majority of those variables. The one thing you can control as a consumer - the cost of your player - no longer makes any significant difference in the quality of the audio output, so that cheap Aiwa CD player sounds better than any tape deck you could have ever gotten your hands on for remotely near the same money.

I grew up with tapes until the mid 90s, and i remember CDs in my small town being $30-$40 a piece. By the time prices started coming down to ~$20, i had discovered napster and MP3 players. My first MP3 player was only 64mb and could only hold like 20 songs, but because of how expensive CDs were i basically skipped them.

BlackMK4 posted:To be fair, I'd quoted the cellphone camera blowing away film part of the post Have you seen what cell phones are capable of doing these days? It's not just about the sensor anymore. Computational photography is pushing cell phones well beyond what their pissy sensor should be capable of - eg all that HDR computational photography with noise reduction is now allowing cell phones to match or exceed what my Canon 1D can do in low light. And THAT is the kind of camera that no 35mm camera can touch. That kind of computational photography is beginning to get into MFT cameras with remarkable results and it'll filter into FF soon enough... and THAT is going to be something to see. Computational photography with a full frame is going to be astounding the kind of shots you could pull off with impeccable quality. No, cell phones cant do action. But my needs aren't what the typical phone camera is asked to do. So yes - That device in your pocket has the ability to go beyond what film can be used in successfully and most certainly can do better than film even if you use it for huge prints.

Powershift posted:I grew up with tapes until the mid 90s, and i remember CDs in my small town being $30-$40 a piece. That's about when I started switching to CDs. I only bought them when they started being about $15. Sound Warehouse here in TX was my primary - any of the mall stores wanted $20-25 for the same stuff. One of the best things about CDs was that you could buy them used with little fear that they were hosed. Tapes were a little of a crap shoot. Used and exchange CD shops popped up everywhere, lowering the cost of entry quite a bit. I haven't bought a CD in a decade, though I still have a fairly large pile of them. I'm all digital for new stuff, and convert my CDs when I decide I want that noise in my car. One of my cars doesn't even have a CD slot - I bought a mechless Pioneer for the Crown Vic. I even did the Wayne's World thing with the portable CD player jacked into my cassette deck, because I definitely couldn't afford a CD deck. Home decks were a lot cheaper. My portable was designed for use in the car, though, with a bit more shock protection, and a 12V plug.

That's crazy, I think it was 1987 or 88 when i started buying CDs and they were never over $20. I think the boombox I got was like $150, a Panasonic and it was awesome. I was still in high school but was working almost full time at KFC so I had plenty of money to waste on CDs and skateboards I still buy CDs because it's usually cheaper to do that then to pay for a download and then I get a hard copy. Still listen to CDs in my car all the time too.
