A photograph can have high value long before it is sold...or even printed...or even shown to anyone.

No worries, apuggers syndrome is quite common; it's the whole reason why this forum was created. Now, some people's work on here is more autistic than others', but we are all here to support each other, making whatever art we can, regardless of our various challenges. Some people even have...

You can swap with apuggers too :)

Agreed. We need to focus on the unique capabilities of film and not pick futile battles. As the saying goes, you can wrestle a hog in the mud and eventually win, but the hog will enjoy it. As I tried to say in my blog post, there are many things that film can still do far better than the...

Get some apuggers together, serve some nice hors d'oeuvres and drinks, pass cameras and prints around, and be happy.

I have the solution! Kodak should move all their operations to Greece...

Well yeah any technique will yield crummy results if overdone. People just need to experiment and see what works for them.

Definitely captures the unqiue feeling of the place. I haven't been in too long.

But why do you assume they don't realize this? It's blazingly obvious. So I think you can safely assume that for those people who don't subscribe to your logic, there must be other issues... :whistling: Again, no reason to waste a sheet of 4x5 to shoot a long pano, and roll film allows you...

I like!

Well you need to take a self portrait with the 8x10, that is obligatory...

Why not make some plastic sheet and cut out some leaders that match the 616 size, and then clip 120 to it. You should also consider joining my bulk 70mm purchase pool :) I have adapted 120 steel developing reels to arbitrary sizes by cutting the reels in half and putting them back...

I know, right? It's a form of criminal negligence. My question is whether this delay is due to the new terms of Chapter 11 or just really poor money management.

I don't know, I haven't seen that many crossdressers in photography.

Some films are only available in 135 now. E.g. the HIE that I was using in the attachment. Neopan 400 is another example. Also, why waste half a 120 frame for cropping if you know you want pano... Besides that, it's fun and easy. And though I might have felt that sprocket holes and rebates...

This thread may be helpful... (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Pre-flash it. I think you can first shoot something called a "whi-bal" or put a semitransparent white object (tupperware lid!) over the lens, where it is out of focus and provides a good even light. You then expose the slide ~4 stops faster than your metered exposure. And voila, lower...

LOL

Yep I guess we'll have auroras this weekend. Good time to get out the film... !

Heheh, yeah well one of these days we're going to get a really big coronal mass ejection and all the horded films will be zapped quite well, whether they're in your fridge or not! Plus our eyes generally don't get better with time (even though our minds might well). So use what ya got!! :)

LOL Well said.

Oh I covet nice prints. Something that really shows imagination and full use of the medium. That's what I look out for. Film... got plenty of pretty much everything, from panatomic x to EIR to polaroid 665.

Sorry to be blunt but you may need to get over yourself. They're marketing it as fun. And cool. And modern. I've never known a teenager to walk into a store looking for the right tool to do Fine Art (whatever that is). People need to stop emulating the Famous Photographers and follow...

Much.

Damn it Thomas you ruined my marketing concept :) Guess I'll have to go with the Japanese raika, which would of course be in honor of the female boxer.

Yes well it is called marketing... something that the film companies haven't been doing. By targeting only those remaining people who still shoot film, certain big film companies have been in a mode of retreat for several years. If somebody wants to provide a better, more reasonably priced...

Sander I have 15 rolls of neopan 120, frozen, and some 135 as well. I have more that is unfrozen but can't vouch for the condition, it's travelled with me a few times so I'd better keep it. Mind you, it's not that I want to get rid of it, in fact I love it, but for what I do I am just as...

Laurent, I have an any-size steel reel that I made in a few minutes. I just cut the steel reel in half and reattached the some pieces with hollow aluminum tube, which were then crimped to keep the right size. The thin base means you can bend it very easily. There are probably some 70mm reels...

Worrying about what exact LF focal length matches another in 35mm format is probably not going to take you anywhere useful. The first things to do is to look at the lenses that are available- the common focal lengths are the ones to look for, as you will have (1) more choice and (2a) there is...
