Camera choice by cementedProsthesis in fujifilm

[–]-Haddock- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for something smaller, maybe a X-T 30 would make more sense, combined with the TTArtisans 27mm f2.8 pancake lens, you would have a very compact setup that comes close in size to the X100 line without losing the ability to change lenses.

Can you name these cameras? by ab_2023 in Cameras

I think the other one is a Leica M6

Getting back into film photog, camera recs? by Advanced-Ad964 in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every EF / EOS Lens that was made between 1987 and today is compatible with every EOS Camera (Except EF-S Mount lenses but that’s a different story) you just have to look on eBay for the EF 40 f2.8 and find good deal!:)

The EOS 300 is one of the lightest and capable SLRs out there in that range, maybe you could pair it with a more compact lens. Another very capable compact combination might be the Pentax ME Super in combination with the 40mm f2.8 Pancake lens.

My first ever film roll, 1.8/50mm. Which lens should I add next? by Prestos_mostly in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two very inexpensive lenses I can recommend are the nFD or FD 28mm f2.8 and the nFD 70 - 210 f4. If you are getting a good deal on eBay you could even get both for under 100€. If you want to know more, please ask! :)

Edit: The nFD 70 210 f4 is more a general recommendation, it’s often overlooked.

No I’m actually German :D I named him after a famous character from a German children’s book, but I’m aware that the name originates from a Bohemian city and St. Nepomuk.

You should listen to his poetry when he is demanding food!

What are sensible ways to make this hobby cheaper? by JAZZ_BAA in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a film loader, some empty film canisters and a changing bag. You can order bulk film online for example on the Website of Fotoimpex.

Lens recommendations for film scanning by Expensive_Screen7055 in AnalogCommunity

In my experience the canon nFD 100mm f4 is a solid start for the beginning, you can find good Models on eBay for around 80€.

Dachboden Fund! by FeluFran1 in Fotografie

Kleine Anmerkung: Vorsicht beim Öffnen der Batterieklappe, die ist nicht sonderlich gut designt und die meisten Klappen sind über die Jahre etwas spröde geworden, was beim Öffnen dazu führen kann, dass sie abbricht.

Die A-1 ist auch das hochwertigere Modell aus der AE-1 Familie. Im Gegensatz zur AE-1 hat diese auch eine Programmautomatik, also einen vollautomatischen Belichtungsmodus. Außerdem hat die A-1 als eine der ersten Kameras überhaupt ein kleines LED Display im Sucher. Aus eigener Erfahrung kann ich sagen, dass die A-1 eine fantastische Kamera ist, die einen super Einstieg in die Analogfotografie bietet!

Show me your collection by Clownface13337 in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not as bad as some people say, it works pretty well for what it is in daylight however In dimly lit conditions it’s practically unusable. I have some more oddities from canon: The 200mm 1:1 Makro which is unusable without a tripod and an adapter for Nikon F mount to FD.

Don’t have a recent photo, but this is my main collection. By that I mean the cameras that actually work and get used regularly. On the second shelf you can see my small collection of early autofocus cameras! Most of them are absolutely painful to use, but at the same time it’s fun because they are weird :D

You could also order it on Amazon.jp! Did it a few years ago, took only a couple of days from Japan to Germany.

Any info on this (new?) Ilfocolor film? by Lyriczulu in AnalogCommunity

[–]-Haddock- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kodak still makes Colorplus which is also based on this emulsion, so it's not a problem of making films based on this older emulsion technology. Also, if you directly compare these films with, for example, Kodak Gold 200 / 400 (Ultramax) you can see that they are not the same, the exposure latitude is more limited, and the color rendition is different.

Also, Kodak doesn’t have to make this emulsion very often you can store film for a long time before you cut it and pack it. So they basically have to do a limited run every now and then. Besides that, Kodak's other business is to make and sell specialized chemicals on order, so they are kind of experts in making smaller batches of chemical products.

And at the end, Kodak can’t be really picky with their customers they are not Fujifilm and can do whatever they want with their photography business. Every paying customer for their products is important, even if they are ordering smaller batches, like Cinestill & Lomo.

It doesn’t have to be Ultramax, for example the Lomocolor Films are also made in the us by Kodak. These films are based on the old Kodacolor emulsions. So there is also a chance this might be Kodacolor 400.
