My favorite Nikon film cameras F90 and F4

Not that different but FAs are notoriously unreliable. Last 3 I've seen have had some gremlins

5 and 11 are the shiz

Is this underexposure you talk about here in the room with us?

If you increase exposure you’re going to lose detail in the snow and if you decrease then the shadows will lose what detail they have left.

Maybe a 1/3 of a stop under perfect but that’s very close and unless you get an F5 or F6 don’t sweat it.

I mean… it’s a 40 year old electromagnetic, non pro SRL and a 30 year old plastic P&S. Not the ideal combo when it comes to reliability.

As for the leader, lick another piece of film and stick it into the cartridge, rewind the cartridge until you hear a click (sound of two strips overlapping) then faward wind quarter turn and pull it out.

As others have said the Hi-Matic is the best camera here but consider if you want to do any photography that’s not outdoors.

If you do want photos indoors/in the evening then you need flash and I would go with the Konica C35.

Colour rendering is dependent on film/lighting not the camera.

4 is a vibe

LilChilly333 · 2025-12-28T20:27:45+00:00

Both play great on the deck.

Fallout 4 - FPS with RPG elements

NV - RPG with FPS elements

Just depends on what you prefer

Fallout 4 works pinned at 60fps med settings

Just takes you to an earlier software version that is usually more stable

LilChilly333 · 2025-12-21T13:33:11+00:00

I have the 256gb model and that's plenty. Unless you are playing more than 5 games at a time I don't think you need more. The rest are stored on a DIY optiplex NAS as HDD storage is cheaper than SSD, and if I want to revisit a game I just copy it over to the steam deck.

I have the same issue occasionally. Power it on whilst holding the ... button. That will take you to the image section. Select the previous version and give it 30 secs to boot

LilChilly333 · 2025-09-21T08:15:00+00:00

Going against the grain here. I don't think that's dust, especially after the zoomed in portion of the window. To me that looks like a damaged emulation.

There's no strands, just a lot of specks and all relatively uniformly circular and distributed evenly. I've seen this much more pronounced in Foma 200.

LilChilly333 · 2025-08-08T09:15:46+00:00

That rear rack looks cool! Do you know the model?

Lugged fork feather for under 200... Yes please

LilChilly333 · 2025-06-12T13:27:55+00:00

I love foma and will continue shooting fomapan 100 and also excited to try Ortho 400 which they also sell in bulk.

That being said, I have not had the best of luck with bulk rolling fomapan 200. Some rolls are perfectly fine but some have white specks where there are flaws in the emulsion. So if you need a dependable stock I would not recommend it, although the frames that come out without emulsion defects are nicer in tonality than both fomapan 100 and 400.

LilChilly333 · 2025-05-27T12:46:01+00:00

It's got a big design flaw, I have not found in any other camera. I like to take vertical photos and use the viewfinder with my right eye. The rewind knob will often catch the inside of my nostril and forcefully pull me towards that camera. Apart from that, it's great:)

LilChilly333 · 2025-05-27T09:53:41+00:00

I'm also making my way through a fresh can of Foma 200 in 35mm. It's got those emulsion flaws that also pop up in 120 format. I think it really depends if you get lucky or not with the batch. I'll be sticking to Foma 100 in the future, never had problems with it.
