In my past experience, those FL-D filters never looked quite right with Fujichrome. Fuji has a magenta/green bias… Kodak has a red/cyan bias. I would try both films with a FL-D filter and see which one you prefer. Neither is ideal, but Fuji always has a green and pink undertone to my eye. Kodak...

I was split on the canon f1 or Nikon f3… went with a pair of f3s professionally for the availability to rent lenses I wasn’t willing to buy outright. FD lenses were not available for rent around the Philadelphia area. Now I’m using a leica and occasionally a Nikon fm2. I still have a box of odds...

If you are near a major city, perhaps Boston, you may want to call one of the old school shoe repair shops. They will usually repair all types of leather goods. Cheers.

I’m new here (phototrio) myself. I see your from RI. I used to live in south eastern CT and worked in SW RI before moving to Boston and subsequently to Philadelphia. New England has the best coast for landscape and people photography. I’ve also used larger formats professionally but have paired...

Right, I usually do a film test in conjunction with my enlarger… just trying to get a ballpark with ORWO un54 and fx39ii. Also Studional and diafine. The film seems a lot like plus-x which had some strange development times. also, MDC times don’t seem as reliable as they once were due to people...

I‘ve been doing film photography for a pretty long time… it has been a hobby that became a profession and back to hobby. I’ve gone to school for a photography degree. Dropped out. Worked in multiple professional labs. Done documentary, architecture, product, modeling head shots, street, a few...

My first camera was a no name (Pentax k1000 clone) with a broken light meter and a 50mm lens. This was back in ‘87 or ‘88. I’ve experimented with many formats and focal lengths over the years but have always returned to 35mm format. My experience with “street photography” isn’t about stealth...
