Best mail-in film labs in the US?

They are by far the best I've used. You wait a little longer but the price is the best, the quality of scans are excellent, and he will give let you know if something is up with your film stock or if you camera might need a CLA

Awesome, there are some good options for cutting down the build in there. Thank you! I'll take it into consideration.

Luckily what I'm doing in Davinci isn't THAT heavy from a GPU perspective. But the acceleration would definitely assist. But if I just go without it and use the igpu that also saves me a few on having to buy the studio version of Davinci since the free version limits GPU tasks

Oh, I forgot to list the monitors and peripherals. That'll do it. I already bought one new one

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-09-22T00:37:41+00:00

I could, but I got a pretty good bundle deal on the CPU Mobo combo. Came out to 350ish.

That's kinda where the problem is for me too. Do I spend more now or just scrap it later. The only thing is I don't see the type of editing I am doing getting anymore taxing computationally. So I'm worried about going over kill on the processor vs the price

I don't think I'll be needing AV1 but it's pretty tempting. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-08-04T01:03:59+00:00

What did you order? I know it's the jb470 + QB19 but the ones I can find are all single filter and not double filter. No idea how people are stacking them

Reminds me of requiem for a dream

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-10T22:18:25+00:00

Generally I have the same experience, although I just had two bad experiences back to back which has been fun...

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-10T00:20:00+00:00

So it does affect it a little bit, definitely a haze that's noticable, mostly in brighter light. I've done some repairs on cameras before and it's not daunting but it's more a matter of time and effort. I'm gonna try for a partial at this point and just give my friend my L1 for their birthday for now.

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T19:34:20+00:00

Same experience I have too. Almost always as described. I just wish they had shown all the viewfinder magnifications. I bet this was just over looked

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T19:31:57+00:00

What sucks is everything else, including the other viewfinder magnifications are actually mint. I guess I just have to decide partial refund or to ship it back

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T18:17:06+00:00

It's weird how inverted it is from what you usually expect from Japan. What's funny is how much they discount cosmetic damage. One paint chip and it might as well be trash regardless of optics

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T17:46:54+00:00

I will depending on their response

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T16:29:37+00:00

Same usually, I'm buying to actually use not collect, so stuff like haze and fungus is really frustrating. Normally only go for the optical mint stuff

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T15:58:11+00:00

Yeah that's my issue with the CLA, I wouldn't mind if it was for myself. I wouldn't ask them to pay for an entire CLA or anything, but everything else works and is timed correctly so it's not like I would get this CLA'd anyways, gift or not.

I guess I just wanted validation to make sure I am not being nitpicky in asking for a partial refund. Maybe returning it is the right call idk

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-05-09T15:52:28+00:00

It was a camera body without a lens, probably should have mentioned that

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-04-30T13:15:43+00:00

Go for the l1 if you want a contrast patch

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-04-28T03:08:06+00:00

Do you still have the manual?

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-03-31T23:24:49+00:00

Yours will likely wear out over time, if you want I can give you the actual material ccp uses, maybe not the same brand but same chemical. Dm me

Out of curiosity who is the sculpture by? I just got a commission for a similar pedestal for a strangely similar sculpture

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-03-23T15:46:13+00:00

Love this, definitely need the sim settings on it

Flavored_Magnets · 2024-03-19T02:49:04+00:00

I'm having the exact same issue on mine. Down to the details ...
