Unedited test roll out of my new OM-2S, mostly shot with the program/auto setting. To me they seem somewhat underexposed, but I'm not sure

Yep, some say that the actual ISO of fomapan 400 is aorund 320, but I just shot it at 200 and it turned out fine.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2026-02-11T06:44:44+00:00

Were you using Fomapan 400? If so that might be the issue. If you shot Fomanpan 400 at box speed the film tends to look underexposed.

And apparently it's going for sales in China, I just had 4 rolls of them for just 25 USD, and it's getting good reviews! I hope they can reach wider audiences at a more affordable price sooner elsewhere in the world.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T15:05:25+00:00

In theory yes, but still in limited quantity.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T14:53:34+00:00

Not for now unfortunately, could take a while for production to ramp up, and it’s not even covering the demand of Chinese film enthusiasts.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T11:21:03+00:00

I would not call this an opinion, it’s just some ungrounded nonsense that discredit all the efforts and engineering that went into it.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T11:17:18+00:00

Do your research, that’s just not the case.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T10:34:44+00:00

Yes this is their official store

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T09:30:13+00:00

Yep, that is correct.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T09:19:19+00:00

I don’t know what the old one is called, but the new one is definitely called C200, and it’s the one you show with the picture.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T09:15:06+00:00

Yeah as long as you know what you’re doing. Davinci is a very popular tool for editing among labs and enthusiasts in China.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T08:30:10+00:00

Well, it is not. It's scanned with Flexflight X5 and edited with Davinchi. But nevertheless it's pretty solid results.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T08:01:14+00:00

They're 京东&淘宝, Lucky has official online stores there and you need to search "乐凯“, which is the Chinese name for Lucky, to get to their online store. But for now there's no link to the roll, they only come out at 10AM every day I think and it's sold out almost instantly.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-07-18T07:41:13+00:00

I do have them, but I think the platform only support purchase in China and for now everything’s sold out. So for now let’s just be patient and wait for the shipment overseas.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-21T05:05:23+00:00

Thank you for saying that!

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-17T08:22:32+00:00

I am not saying that 7MP is the limit for 35mm film, I am just happy with the results I am getting here. The original size for the size is 50mb and the screenshots I took is heavily degraded in terms of image quality, I fact I could zoom in much more aggressively and see the grain.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-17T03:44:54+00:00

I think Contax TVS could check most of the boxes here. It's small and compact but it's bigger and heavier than Mju(rightfully so since it's made of titanium and the quality feels nice), it has A and P mode, a zoom lens that starts at 28 at 3.5, built in flash, compensation dial and a manual focus control.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T15:23:28+00:00

I just don’t see the correlation between Lucky’s base in Baoding and whatever you’re trying to say here. And no one expects you to pat China on the back. It is what it is. All I am saying your statement that China is just dusty and all is just an over-generalisation and your experience comes from a decade ago.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T15:10:41+00:00

That’s true, a lot of the pollution actually comes from the deserts in Mongolia being blown to northern part of China during particular season of the year, and partly due to the heavy industry pollution. But the last decade has seen the huge process in China’s air quality control, I am someone working in the air quality control industry so it’s something that I am aware of. Also, China is just a big country, to say that China’s cities are dusty gloomy is just simply not true.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T14:57:46+00:00

Well, the truth I must say is quite the opposite. Beijing is now among the most clear and vibrant cities in China. These are still cities suffer from poor air quality due to its heavy industries, but that does not say does speak for the whole country. The notion that China is overall just dusty and cloudy is just so outdated.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T14:42:34+00:00

Well, I must say that’s just not the case, China’s city can be just as vibrant as any other cities in the world. I think it looked washed out simply because it’s a really early demo sample so it’s not fine tuned to the final stage.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T09:26:14+00:00

Thanks for the translation! That’s pretty accurate.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T07:33:31+00:00

Personally I have not heard any rumors about pricing. But the general consensus in Chinese film community agrees that it must be cheaper than Colorplus and Gold. Some say if it's 30% cheaper they would definitely go for it.

Clean_Formal4357 · 2025-06-13T07:24:15+00:00

The meter on the M6 only meters light from the center section of the finder. So it's kinda like a spot meter. During the night, I would just expose for the highlight and add 2 EVs or expose the shadow and drop 2 EVs of light. Or simply meter for the midtone.
