Great, that is what I thought and have tried, but haven't gotten film back yet. Realistically, I think my camera can only shoot at f5.6 or something, and this is almost never relevant for the big landscape photos I take -- but I was curious. Thank you!

Hello all! I think this is a stupid question, but I don't know the answer, so I am asking! I have used a 35mm rangefnider, but usually just zone focus with it. On the flip side, I am using a Mamiya Press MF camera and trying to take much more careful photos. I usually shoot with small...

I idiotically did not realize the OM-1 didn't have a hotshoe -_- any other solution will not work, because it will take up too much space. Basically my only other option is the Agat 18k with a flash, which...I am not too sure about lol. I might just have to risk it all with the Olympus XA. Mine...

My sister is getting married in about a month and has tasked me with doing the photography at her wedding. Note that she and her fiance are both 100% okay with having very amateurish candid photography done (they wanted to do that thing where they just get disposables for everyone, but its too...

Thanks everyone for the help! I am gonna try a roll as an experiment and note down how I was metering so I can analyze the results later on.

I know that it was stored in a place with pretty substantial temperature fluctuations, I just got it (among other films) from a guy who has had them in storage with no use for them and gave it all to me when he found out I like photography. I know that slide film apparently degrades pretty...

Camera just arrived back in Japan after the seller agreed to take it back for a full refund. I ended up buying a Mamiya Press Super 23 instead of the Pentax since I couldn't find another one at the same deal I got the original for, so waiting for that from Japan. May end up with another Pentax...

Yes, I have read it. But what makes you say that?

On a normal camera, if I put in 800 ISO film and set the camera to 400 ISO, the camera will think that the film needs more light and hence expose it for longer. So setting a lower ISO results in overexposure, if you develop at 800 ISO. Is this not correct?

Ok, thanks! I may try this in a normal roll as a test because doing a test in a half frame camera would take a billion years.

Do you have any insights into what the effect may be of shooting it at 800 iso but developing it at 3200?

From what I just read, apparently all the ISO dial does is prohibit some of the exposure settings. So, if you set it to like 1600, it just won't let you put it onto the super sunny sailboat setting because it thinks it's too bright. So I guess I would just be talking about putting Ilford Delta...

I mean that you can't select the speed. The Agat 18k that I have has two dials: one for ISO and one for "conditions", which I assume gets you f stop and shutter speed together. I assumed (and may be wrong) that the iso goes into that calculation. For example: I can set the exposure to the...

I have an Agat 18k half frame camera that I really enjoy and want to be able to use in lower light conditions. Because you can't modify the shutter speed directly, I had the thought of using Ilford Delta 3200 and overexposing it. I recently saw a video by Matt Day where he talks about...

epic, thank you!
