I don't know guys, judging by the white blob of a car behind her to the right, the car is white white, no cast on it. Maybe she's standing in front of a neon sign or something?

I have the V500. I even use it to scan LF, I scan each side then stitch it in Photoshop. It's not perfect, but it was sixty bucks and it gets my pictures online. The V700 isn't worth 5x the price for me right now.

The caption is 'film, neon & girl' so I'd say you're right. Hopefully picking up the Mamiya RZ67 on Tuesday. Played with it for a bit today and it's heavy as poo poo but those Sektor lenses are so cool and crazy sharp. Getting the 110mm f/2.8, 180mm f/4.5, and the 65mm L-A f/4 all included with it.

I just found out that London Drugs no longer ships out medium and large format film. Does anyone know a good lab left in Canada? Bonus points if something new has popped up in Calgary...

Apparently they have started stocking c-41 (and hopefully e-6) chems. How hard is it to do those at home?

I know of only one other place in Quebec to order E-6 chems in Canada. C-41 is as easy as B&W to do at home, if not easier. The temp control needs to be a bit more consistent, but there is only one set of timings to memorize unlike B&W. You don't need any fancy equipment either. Just a big pot full of hot water to bring your chems up to temperature, then take it out, and it holds good enough for the ~6 minutes development time when temp is the most critical. I've never done E-6 at home but I am gonna try it this summer. Doesn't sound any harder than C-41 I think.

Question for the Portland crew: Do you use a light meter on those neon lights or are you just working off intuition/experience?

Thoogsby posted:Question for the Portland crew: Do you use a light meter on those neon lights or are you just working off intuition/experience? Never on the lights themselves. The idea is to get the rest of the scene exposed correctly, and the long shoulder of Portra's response curve usually handles the neon just fine without letting it blow out completely.

Not Portland crew, but it's hard to gently caress up Portra, even at night. All you need to memorize is one 'correct' exposure setting for what you'd consider your standard night shot and then just add or drop stops to fit your situation. Add some extra time to compensate for the reciprocity failure and you're good to go. You might feel financially obligated to meter really carefully for large format but freewheeling it has worked out on numerous rolls of 120 Portra for me.

http://www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm Check out the ultimate exposure computer. My basic starting point is f16 @ 4s with Portra 400 then use gut feeling for + or - stops based on the scene.

ansel autisms posted:What's your gripe with the V500? I didn't have any issues until I needed to scan 4x5. Only scans two strips of 135 film at the time and only one 6x7 frame on 120 film, so it takes forever to scan. And the scans are everything but sharp, but I might have gotten a bad unit since I think the scans I see online from other users looks much sharper (might also be because of my lovely photography skills and overuse of coffe.)

So I got a new camera: I only got it because the guy selling was in a hurry to sell so sold it for about $200 less than it is worth... After a few test rolls everything seems to work perfectly but I'm not sure it's much of an upgrade over the Yashica Mat 124G except for the brand name. It sure looks pretty though.

I have a V500 and haven't had issues with sharpness, though I understand that the QC on focal plane isn't great so you may have a bad unit. Also, highest effective resolution is about 2400dpi, I find sticking to that makes things go disproportionately faster.

If you can only scan one 6x7 frame at a time you're loading it wrong. If it's not sharp (even compared to the V700), it's either curled film or your holder not being at the right height - just shim it upwards with sheets of printer paper until it looks better. Unless someone's shooting 4x5 or really, really blowing through rolls on a 6x7 (which should fit 2 frames) I'd recommend a V500 over a larger model.

deaders posted:So I got a new camera: Nice find if you got it for $200 cheaper! These are getting popularized due to Vivian Maier and their price went up beyond what I think is reasonable for these cameras. If it really is a Rolleiflex T, then yeah, I wouldn't see it as much of an upgrade either. I found the Tessar/Xenar lenses in them to be credible performers but there are Japanese TLRs with better Tessar copies. And of course the Rolleiflex Planar/Xenotar models. The T was the budget minded model sitting between the 2.8/3.5 Automats and the Rolleicords. It uses rubber or leather belts to move the aperture and shutter speeds, these apparently routinely slip or break. Something to look out for.

It's a shame because I think they're one of the sexiest cameras but its getting hard to find them in decent shape due to their non-modular construction. Ebay shops seem to snap up a lot of the available stock, "CLA", and relist for exorbitant sums. Harry Fleenor even said its not worth it trying to replace the lenses if anything goes south. I spent $1200 twice and ended up with lenses with fungus both times. The Tessar is perfectly fine if you shoot Portra stopped down a little bit as you're pretty much hitting the resolution limits of the film at that point.

I'm not near the scanner now so I can't really check but I seem to remember only fitting about one and a half 6x7 frame in the holder. Might be confusing it with the fact that I the lab cuts the film in strips with three frames each. The sharpness don't increase if I shim up but might actually increase a bit when I put the negs directly on the scanner glass. So maybe I just got a bad one. But yeah, the V500 is really cheap in photography bux and I have not yet been bothered enough to upgrade so it's obviously still good enough.

Unfortunately mines screwed up so usually I only get two.
