FILM PHOTOGRAPHY / DARKROOM TIP AND TRICKS THREAD

This thread is to see who still shoots film and for new people who are just starting to shoot film. Also to discuss tips and tricks for film and darkroom.

Interested to see where this goes BS about all things film and photography.
have fun

 

I've slowed down in my photography in general, but still 90 percent of the time I shoot film.

 

What gear do you use

 

Leica M6, i pretty much never leave the house without it. I have a Zeiss 35mm lens on it. I also use various Medium Format cameras. Hasselblad 500 series as of late. What about you?

 

Wow gear heaven wish I had a Leica M6 and a zeiss. I can get my hands on a hasselblad form a friend of mine.

 

What do you shoot, like what type of photography?

 

I shoot a little bit of everything. Shooting with a minolta x 370 with a 50mm f1.4 that was given to me by a family member. I also shoot a Olympus EM-5 MKII 12-40 mm f2.8 digital

 

I did a semester of film in college. While i loved the novelty of it, i didn’t like the extra work lol

 

I love it so far just started shooting film back in the fall so I haven't shot much

 

On of my cousin in Baltimore saw some of my photos on Facebook and sent me a film camera.

 

I shoot with a Pentax k1000, we have a dark room at my school so I develop all of my own photos.

 

Nice! I miss the dark room. Been thinking about taking some classes at the local community college just so I can get back in there.

 

Excellent shots.
Building a darkroom and a studio with a friend from work.

 

Thats sick, I miss being able to use the dark room

 

Miss this camera. Hasselblad Xpan, unfortunately it crapped out on me a few rolls into me owning it.

 

It good that you have a class like that we don't I'm learning everything from my friend he used to work in a studio and darkroom

 

Sharp images. Its suprising that a hasselblad crapped out on you

 

My friend is switching back to mainly film photography because he had was shooting just digital and went all over shooting had pictures from San Francisco, New York Australia, China and a few other places. Had a bout 20,000 photos all lost on his computer and harddrive. Both crashed

 

I still have my Cannon A body I bought when I was in high school, haven’t shot film in years. Recently decided to start doing photography again, I do like the convenience of digital and there is no wait for the results.

 

Just sold my M2. Kinda regret it. But I use my XPan everywhere.
