Such a shame to have to settle for a rubbish shot like that! 😄

I’ll take it if nobody else has!

Yeah, the first 15 or so years of my photography 'career' (read: hobby) was all digital. I know it's silly to some, but probably the most immediate, concrete, and satisfying difference on my switch to film was the manual advance. Above anything else, it's the thing that really hits the cliché...

Well, that definitely sounds like "what's stopping" us! Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through to prevent someone from giving them money.

Ok, maybe I'm clueless...but what exactly is stopping anyone from ordering a 400' roll directly from Kodak?

The lack of DX override bothers me too. Maybe adding the extra physical control is just too much. Also, following on brbo’s point - I can’t actually watch the video at the moment. Is there any indication that the final camera will be slimmer, or does it look like it’s going to stay brickish...

I actually went to that Naniwa in Kyoto and it was...fine. They did a solid job developing a couple of rolls for me for not too much money, but by and large their camera gear was just as overpriced as everywhere else's. In the end, I wound up coming home with four cameras and a lens - but...

Ok maybe I'll have to hit both Map and Fujiya...Fujiya appears to have a seperate storefront called the "junk hall." How can I pass that up?

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way, hence the one-shop (soft) limit. I do like buying one little piece of gear when I travel, though - maybe a lens or a junky P&S. How's the weather, by the way? Kinda dreading it!

Basically, what it says on the tin! My wife and I are heading to Japan next week, and while we'll definitely have time to go to plenty of camera shops, I don't really want to make that a focus of the trip. Or a focus of my wallet! So, does anyone who's been there recently (or lives there) have...

I got it right off Ilford's own site! https://www.ilfordphoto.com/ilford-xp2-super-in-black-and-white-chemistry/ I don't have access to my whole library at the moment, but a quick and dirty comparison of grain here: HP5 @800 XP2 @800 That's definitely not the whole story though. If you...

I feel like there should be more love for HP5 in here. I know this is neophyte talk and displays my lack of technical knowledge...but it really can take an enormous amount of 'abuse.' I went on a trip a couple of years ago and shot most of a roll (of 120) at 400, then wound up in a fairly dim...

PM'd!

If someone had brought up the project in my OP to me while ago I would have said "what's the point of that?" Then Copex Rapid in 35mm disappeared and in a state of mourning I bought 10 rolls of it in in 16mm for basically nothing. I've got to do something with it! By the way, a...

Wellll I wound up seeing a very affordable Pentax K 28/3.5 and went ahead and ordered it. Definitely not what I initially had in mind, but if the 28mm FL turns out to be a good fit, I'll upgrade to an f/2 of some variety at some point. Actually that is on the eventual-acquisition list. Cutting...
