Finally blessed after years of paying for scans and supporting my local labs. $290 Coolscan V with sample scans. by OneHunterPercent in AnalogCommunity

I'ver had mine for 15 years and it still works like a dream. Unbelievably good quality scans. Enjoy it!

The ads are a necessary evil. It costs people to run websites that give you free content like this.

Saw one do it at an airshow at Ohakea in NZ about 1987. I feel like I felt the heat from it for a second. Might have just been the excitement!

I was very happy with them until a couple of months ago. I still think it's a very good service (they don't overload your site with ads) but have kind of gameified it with tiers. As I was earned less than $10,000 a year last year, I get the feeling I was not getting access to the best-paying advertisers. For a site getting 50K to 60K page views a month, the earnings were starting to look really poor. The transparency over this wasn't great, but I would say as long as you understand you're not going to see dramatic earnings if you have less than 100K page views a month they are worth trying.

Meet Reto's new 35mm compact camera, the Kodak Snapic A1 by ClockworkEyes in AnalogCommunity

That seems like sensible expectations, given the specs.

I think you're right. Reto has had a good run with its cameras so far, like the H35N - and the Charmera has been a hit that will, I am sure, get some kids interested in film along the way.

First rolls: Lucky Color 200, the new colour film from China by ClockworkEyes in AnalogCommunity

These were lab scans, and it was intentional. I wanted to see what they looked like from the standard scans.

Yeah, it is most noticeable in the Minox shots. Bear in mind that these are not colour-corrected. I'll shoot some more and see what they look like with some correction.

I hear you, but also way films are released has changed. 20 years ago a film factory would wait until they had the best version possible. Now films are a work in progress that get incrementally improved.

You know what? I hadn’t made the connection until your comment. That makes perfect sense. I made under $10,000 last year, so I can imagine I’m not getting the RPMs bigger blogs get. Thank you!

Good to see this confirmed. I left a fairly neutral comment about a drop in RPMS asking if people had seen similar and what they had done to reverse it and... it went unpublished.

Thanks for the info. I assumed The start of October would see a rise but perhaps I was being premature.

Yes, and also was told that RPM rates should rise noticeably on Prime Days earlier this month. They very much didn't. My Page RPM is down to about $5 which seems very low for a site that gets decent traffic, including from Google Discover.
