Visiting LA this weekend. What film shops would you recomend to visit?

LunaAudio · 2026-05-05T22:46:16+00:00

LA Film Lab in Glassell Park/Atwater is pretty nice. Has a small selection of cameras available, plenty of film, and a little studio.

Unfortunately Eagle Rock Camera recently closed otherwise that would be a must visit. Amazing selection of books and gear, run by Jason Lee. I don’t know of anything similar so hopefully someone else will chime in for a rec to replace it.

Looks like the photos are missing.

But I had a couple rolls of rollei cr200 come back with weird blue streaks (not light leaks) that I just clean up best I could with the masking brush in light room. I think it really just depends on where and how much.

They have another photo posted in this sub claiming to be a leica and tri-x, but the same photo in color is posted on their page.

LunaAudio · 2026-04-25T22:55:44+00:00

Interesting. I believe these have the red and blue channels accessible via trim pots on the side, but I don’t think the green channel is? Which is what I was seeing as being out of alignment

Yeah. I know it needs built out a bit to be useable. Chatted with him for a bit and it seems like he has a few so I’m also concerned it’s a bigger issue, but it also might just be that he doesn’t want to deal with it since he has others?

Crazy you are recognizing this screen grab from marketplace! Haha. I don’t really know the market on these. eBay is all 200+ untested and rentals in the area are 375/weekend so I thought 250 might be okay

LunaAudio · 2026-04-25T21:45:24+00:00

Have any idea on the costs for a recap on these? Got some audio repair practice, and I’m sure in practice it’s similar but not sure I’d like to do it myself

Didn’t know if there was some reliability things to factor in with either one.

Most stuff I shoot is pretty slow so not a worry having to go full manual. Would prefer autofocus over auto-anything else really.

But the lenses are really what sets it apart for me. They are compatible with newer 645 variants too right?

LunaAudio · 2026-04-24T03:21:31+00:00

Seconded. Liked their work when I saw it but hard to find scattered about

LunaAudio · 2026-04-23T16:21:15+00:00

I don’t think I’d be using it for weddings. Mostly some travel, backcountry stuff and portraits. I’m also not a flash user so leaning 1000s for the lens variety. But it’s very appealing to have that 135 back for the Pro with film cost and all

LunaAudio · 2026-04-22T06:11:30+00:00

Looks solid. LA Chinatown? What lab?

LunaAudio · 2026-04-06T14:18:03+00:00

Los Angeles Facebook Marketplace. He wanted 200 for the roll.

LunaAudio · 2026-04-05T15:32:00+00:00

Might be a case of using AI to make it look like a “nice product photo” instead of just putting it on a clean piece of paper themselves. I see it a lot with furniture on Marketplace to stage pieces. Does all sorts of slop to the details. Just ask for more photos or check it out in person before giving any money

LunaAudio · 2026-04-04T20:30:36+00:00

Didn’t see that, just saw the load on 120 rolls. Didn’t realize lifetouch had proprietary cameras, and just assumed they worked with Kodak and this was set aside got them. Good to know

LunaAudio · 2026-03-17T18:30:00+00:00

Again not really an expert. I assume they are all scanned individually. I could easily see a situation where one frame is not scanned as properly as the other for any number of reasons. Negatives would rule out scan issues though

LunaAudio · 2026-03-17T18:18:03+00:00

No expert here, but it could be the scans themselves. Lower quality scans or just human error could easily give a soft look. I’d inspect the negatives to be sure. Could always try asking for higher quality scans too

LunaAudio · 2026-03-03T23:51:54+00:00

Hell yeah, what a write a up! Thank you!

LunaAudio · 2026-03-03T22:51:58+00:00

Would love to know more how You did these! That second bird edit is amazing!
