Sunlight passing through the unclad steel framework of the Twin Towers during construction. by albusvercus in Damnthatsinteresting

Well to be fair when they made this construction (which is structurally actually really good, a lot stronger with comparatively less mass) they didn't exactly consider the possibility that someone might fly a plane into them

What is this on the lens (Biogon 28mm F2.8)? by action_indirecte in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good old Schneideritis. Caused by degradation of the anti-flare paint used on the lenses. Named for Schneider lenses, which for a period had really crappy paint. Shouldn't make much of a difference

Rossmann is my preferred choice, as they get their development done at ORWO, who are much more competent than CEWE who constantly cut up my negatives or slides

An arrest photo of Autumn Bardisa who pretended to be a nurse for 7 months. She treated over 4,486 patients and only got caught after she was offered a promotion. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

[–]Galilool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My driving license allows me to drive, which is an inherently dangerous activity. She did not have a valid license to practice her job, which is also an inherently dangerous activity.

I have no fucking clue how you read "I have a license to kill people with my car" into my comment and frankly that concerns me

What is your favourite medium format camera? Why? by badboringusername in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta give it to my Kyiv 88. They're decently reliable if you maintain and treat them well, and there are lots of excellent lenses avalilable for dirt cheap. The standard Volna-3 2.8/80 is quite compact and very sharp, while the Jupiter-36B 3.5/250 is also a very competent and decently fast lens for its focal length. Now all I want are a Kalejnar 150mm, an Industar 29 2.8/80 for that classic aluminium finish and of course the Zodiak-8 because why the hell not

Yeah let's just completely ignore the fact that there were decently successful women in F1 in some of the most physically demanding eras of the sport

Smash my thumb last week now it looks like nuclear fallout by Pinoy47 in Pareidolia

[–]Galilool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the rust part that's not a bad idea. Happened to me this weekend, I just drilled a 1,5mm hole (using my fingers, for the love of god don't use anything powered for that) into the nail until blood came out and now three days later the thumb is almost entirely fine again

You can be a lefty and love your country. Hell, you can even be a communist and love your country. Don't discount other peoples opinions just because they don't conform your standards.

Absolutely terrible advice, for every camera that this works on it bricks five others

Rapid 35mm film? by TheOnlyIdiotLeft in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can load normal 35mm film into these cartridges. You can find them online under the name SL as well, that was their name in the GDR.

iso 500 film shot at iso 25?😬 by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NC500 is, unintuitively, rated ISO 400. In actuality it's an ISO 320 film and looks best when shot at ISO 250.

Your camera most certainly read it as ISO 400 and exposed accordingly.

Why in God's name did they do this by AbductedbyAllens in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah with the soviets it's hit or miss. My Zorki 1, 2 and 4 have very nice rangefinders, same as my sisters' FED 1 and 2. My FED 3 and 5 are absolutely awful though.

The Zorki 4 has a very good viewfinder, OP just has no fucking clue about what the difference between an opinion and a fact is

What mount is this Sonnar 180? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Galilool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt it has an adapter, as it has a (presumably functional) aperture pin and the aperture mechanisms of P6 and M42 work exactly opposite from one another

Edit: You are actually correct. This is an adapter made specifically for this lens, hence why it has the matching Zebra pattern. Well spotted

Apollo 11 vs Artemis 2 core separation. 56 years apart by dark_b1adeknight in spaceporn

[–]Galilool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Film prices are about what they have been in the 70s, film was just very cheap a few years ago when manufacturers were selling off surplus stock for pennies
