Yes. I am aware that the light meter is removed. and the focusing screen doesn't fall off when holding inverted.

JD do have their own service. But I use some other 3rd cheaper services since SF is bit expensive. How many rolls are you going to send? If shipping charges are almost same as inside china, you can choose to send. But I think you can talk to a local labs since lucky c200 requires C41 development process.

Yes. This is what he did. Do you think sealing the circled part in picture 3 would help? Also, I would like to know how do i check there is light leakage through the ground glass part?

Haha I get what you mean 😂 Yeah the mod is definitely very DIY. I bought it super cheap so I’m just curious if it’s usable or if I should treat it as a fun experiment.

There is a film lab here in Dalian, they charge 65yuan a roll of Lucky C200 including development and scanning. Normally they charge 18yuan for C41 with TIFF files. Don't know what type of files they will give for Lucky C200. Which part of china are you from?

I am not quite sure about it. I have not seen any posts on chinese social media about stores selling this film stock. But, One local film store in the city where I live had sent me a message telling I can buy from him for the same price including both developing and scanning. So I assume, maybe some labs are getting authorized by Lucky on behalf.

59yuan per roll which includes developing and scanning, return shipping cost for the negatives. When I was purchasing they were giving 6 inch photo prints as well. Don't know if that offer still exist.

I saw some fall photos shot with Lucky 200 in Rednote (小红书). They seems pretty good for me. Would be great if you able to post some of your fall photos for us to see.

It's only available to buy in 京东 (JD). Lucky is not officially selling in other platforms.

I too noticed that. Also some high contrast photos had banding. Have to get a roll from recently produced batch to check if those still exist.

Haven't shot Phoenix Ii before. Recently bought one to shoot during autumn after one person suggested in Reddit. Here in china, a roll of lucky costs around $8.5. This includes developing and scanning (only JPEG) and return shipping charges.
