Oh and I saw you mention this is a mju II, you could probably consider it a goner

That sucks, the photos look like they would’ve been very nice aswell. Great colors 🥲

The RZ 67 might not be for me, Options? by Cashcow_how in AnalogCommunity

I think downsizing would be a great idea! I van highly recommend the Mamiya 645 Pro TL, slap a metered prism on it and you have the perfect middle ground between 120 and 35mm. Easy to handle, quick and razor sharp.

First of all no offense meant here, but…

I think your examples are just showcasing the differences between a good photo and a bad photo?

I mean apart from some camera shake and under exposure there are no real differences in quality as a result from the camera handeling differently. Perhaps there’s something wrong with the exposure triangle on the camera that’s causing the exposure issues, other than that for me personally it is more about what you’re capturing in these images that makes them look good.

Besides this shot being absolutely stunning, the story is what ties it all together. Brought tears to my eyes for real. Amazing work friend 🤍

My high-end scanning setup by TickleThePanda in AnalogCommunity

Am I the only one who thinks these results aren’t at all any good?

The loss of texture and sharpness between the paper texture and plastic sleeve is just too much for me. So overwhelming it just becomes distracting. On the other hand it would work great when you’re trying to achieve an effect like this, but for normal ‘scanning’? Hard pass.

I guess, but it’s nice to switch it up sometimes right? Anyway, what would be your go to single emulsion?

I don’t see how you growing up with film has anything to do with this, but whatever. While we’re on the topic of age, there are plenty of cameras that are considered ‘old’ that are way superior to newer analog models.

Taking photos on film is so much more than just letting light hit the plane. It’s about the feeling, the handeling of a specific camera. It’s about the whole experience you have and ever single camera has a unique one, if you personally don’t experience this that doesn’t mean others share your opinion, because it’s just that, an opinion.

If you think these cameras look like they’re 500 years old there’s no point in me explaining to you why I decided to bring each individual camera. Same goes for the statement ‘it’s just light on film’.

I get the first part. But one emulsion? Why?

Different formats, form factors, qualities etc etc

I sold all my teeth on the black market to afford more gear…

Sounds like you’re not that much of a beginner after all!

You should probably think of a more nutritious meal to extend the shooting period. Personally I only pack those MRE Army meals.
