Hello APUG!
I have been following this site for a little while as I begin my new pastime of film photography and I need a lot of your help.
About me:
Level of useage: Hobbyist 1-3rolls per month
Format: 35mm B&W with aspirations for 35mm IR
Education: 1 year high school instruction. I learned basic technique but the details were rarely covered.
Location: Around NYC
Subjects: Most of my previous photography was landscape. Having recently moved to NYC I would like to learn cityscape/ architecture and people.
Equipment: I took my father's camera bag and don't know how to fully utilize half of the accessories yet.
In my bag:
Cannon EF 35mm body (bought in ~1975)
Cannon FD 50mm f1.4
Cannon FD 28mm f2.8
Cannon FD 200mm f1.4
Vivitar Zoom Thyristor 3500 Flash
Vivitar Automatic Tele Converter 2X-4
Kalt Color Burst Filter
Vivitar Soft Focus Filter
Sunpak (R2)Red-25 Filter
Tiffen Close Up Lens Set +1 +2 +4 Filters
Tiffen Haze 1 Filter
Sicor UV Filter
Specific questions:
Will the Red-25 filter be sufficient for beginning IR, or do I need something darker?
Where in Westchester County, NYC or Northern NJ can I rent darkroom time at a reasonable price? My apartment is not going to work for making a home room.
Thank you all for any comments on my equipment or any advice.
