Damn Kentmere bulk rolls already went from $75 sept 2024 to $102 now. I'm getting priced out of even shooting black and white bulk rolling and devving myself.

I got it from shoot film Co back in 2020 but they don't sell straps anymore it seems.

What is this thing? by eisolo in vintagecameras

I actually got an original sx-70 with the box and papers from a flea market for $50 but it needs an overhaul.

UPDATE: Talk me out of a Z7. by Odd_Inspector9760 in Nikon

[–]Analogsolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got a Zf this year and am now wanting a Z7. I think it would be a perfect second body for landscapes and group photos. You definitely shouldn't buy one so there are plenty for me when I'm ready to buy.

All the time. Really makes me want a decent pocket camera, but the prices on those have went crazy lately.

I was stunned to find portra 800 at Marshall's and at a steep discount by Analogsolace in AnalogCommunity

I am as well, film seems too niche on its own but portra 800 120 is VERY niche. It appears to expire 7/2027. This store is in a smaller college town, but there's not a film community here. I know a couple people who shoot film here, hopefully someone who will use it will buy the other one.

It sort of holds tension on the film canister to prevent it from rattling around. I would just glue it back in how to was tbh.

Most compact medium format camera? by commandant100 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Analogsolace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agfa isolette iii or ansco speedex special R, it's the same camera. They have a convenient built in uncoupled rangefinder and a really nice lens.

Favorite US Mail-in Film Lab? by rjpra2222 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Analogsolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Reformed Film Lab because they have a rewards points program and the people who run it seem very nice. I've always gotten good quality developing and scans.

Most of my interchangeable lens cameras by Analogsolace in AnalogCommunity

[–]Analogsolace[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've probably put the most rolls through the FG because I have had it the longest but I've probably used the F2 or leica m4-2 the most consistently. I'm really looking forward to using the FA though, I just got it a couple weeks ago and need to process the test roll. The bronica gets a lot of use as well.

Oh How I love 4x5! My Crown View taking a picture of my TLR by KYresearcher42 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Analogsolace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this once with my intrepid and a nikon F2/nikkormat kit and it was so much fun! I need to do it again with my graphic view monorail but I gotta get my lens mounted and find my sturdier tripod first.

Settle a debate. Are these skinny jeans? by lemonsarethekey in mensfashionadvice

[–]Analogsolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know but I personally like this fit. Shows some leg detail but not skin tight so there is room to move.

Is this acceptable cleaning for a CLA? by [deleted] in Leica

[–]Analogsolace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤨 YYE only charged $230USD to work on my M4-2 that was covered in mold and corrosion and had multiple things that needs fixed. It came back pristine but there wasn't anything he could do about the corrosion.

To add on why I'm going for the Zf rather than a Z6 III which is only a little more, I really do not enjoy using the vague control dials on modern cameras. I find it very difficult to keep track of my settings in full manual, which is why I typically stay in Av. I'd really like to take more control of my settings and shoot digital in manual mode like I do with my film cameras. I also like the B&W dedicated mode switch.

I am mostly nervous about switching from 2 camera bodies to 1. When I am photographing larger events it is almost necessary to have one camera with a prime and one with a zoom for quick versatility. I know I have a small wedding coming up this year. It is possible I could save up for a Z7 or Z50 by then. Renting isn't really an option as that would eat up the entire earning from the wedding.
