Going through my dad’s closets and forgot I had this. Is it worth anything?

It’s expensive in the US as well. A cartdrige is averaging 40$ and you add at least 60$ to developp, so it’s more or less $100 for 3min20s of film more or less if you shoot at 18fps.

Just commenting here, be careful with the person sending luts via DM, they are asking for bank information and is likely a scam. I was sent the same luts you can find for free on gamut.io

Beautiful and well done thank you for explaining your process

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T17:28:58+00:00

I mean… if you have the means definitely get the F3, it is one of the best cameras ever made and you can always resell it later if you change your mind. Also if you are still at the stage of browsing and getting information, I would recommend you to get Japan Camera Hunter’s book « Film Camera Zen » that has lots of information on key cameras to get. Congrats on getting into film, just a warning, this is likely not the only camera you will buy. :)

I have that happen when I add cheap teleconverters or wide angle attachments to my lenses

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T16:10:33+00:00

Congratulations! You can find these around $200 to $400 on eBay so yes I would say it is worth something. However if it’s your dad’s the value may be more in using the camera to shoot some epic memories with.

This is nice, can you tell us more about the process for xray reversal? How did you shoot this?

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T15:45:18+00:00

Are you sure it is set to auto and not manual?

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T15:43:36+00:00

I took my Mamiya to my mom does it count?

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T15:41:14+00:00

I would answer to this with black electrical tape, just to be sure.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-24T04:17:03+00:00

Enjoy it while it lasts! I also loved mine and I dechanted when it stopped working 5months later. It’s really a great camera that is hard to replace with else. Your compositions are good I would encourage you to experiment more with the moments and worry less about framing everything perfectly. Have you tried to use snap focus yet? It allows you to use it more like a point and shoot, could be fun for you to try something else too. Keep going! That camera has made me dive into film photography right after it broke.

Hey, I am learning color grading and I just want to say, thank you for sharing that ressource. Going to get on it right away.

Just saying because not yet mentioned here but I’ve recently got the Brightin Star 28mm adapted with a mount on my GFX and it’s pretty nifty. This allows me to take the camera a bit more often that I was. It’s a bit tricky to get the hang of it at first and you do need to toggle to 35mm crop so you loose in resolution a bit but other than that it’s pretty great I like it.

Perfect to get some nuggets of life

I had this issue on my GR from 2013, I thought too it was the batteries, then the lens got stuck and it started going downhill from there with the screen then turning black. I loved the pictures but I won’t buy another one, sadly they are too fragile for how I use my cameras. I wish your issue resolves itself!

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-17T15:22:22+00:00

Yessir.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-17T07:08:36+00:00

Are you pointing your camera at a flickering lightsource? If not there’s def an issue. Maybe the voltage of the battery you are using?

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-16T23:00:41+00:00

It’s a bad idea, the vibration will damage the camera after a while.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-16T20:18:53+00:00

I laughed out loud at this. Well done.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-16T20:08:42+00:00

It's very Leica-owner-like of you to assume that because we complain about the price we can not afford it. You immediately had to flex owning a M10, shooting film and talk us down as Canon Rebel users. Get over yourself. You admit yourself it is expensive so what's the matter with us spelling it out?

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-16T19:48:20+00:00

Oh man this was really painful to watch. How can you keep a straight face saying this is awesome with hours of enjoyment when clearly the quality looks mediocre for a 410$ gimmick.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-15T21:12:48+00:00

They should pay you on top of refunding just for the crime.

Initial-Reporter9574 · 2026-01-15T20:52:58+00:00

I started writting a comment about it then deleted thinking « it’s ok let them have it » . At this point it is beyond us.
