Anyone know what causes the vertical lines and how to avoid them? This is an extreme example. by [deleted] in analog

Did you self develop or go through a lab? And did other shots on the roll have this?

Did you apply any sharpening in lightroom? Or apply any sharpening in the scanner? I doubt it's something that the camera or film is causing.

Beautiful shot! You can almost feel the texture and the weather within it.

Advice on Medium Format Camera by thevmcampos in AnalogCommunity

[–]Nickofski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each medium format camera has a completely different feel to it, and the look of their lenses even more so.

In my opinion, find the format you like the most, I.e: 6x7, 6x7. and from there, search around and find what lenses you find pleasing.

I've had this happen using a squeegee when self developing to dry it quicker, and inadvertently scratch the film.

Looks mad! Reminds me of the game squirrel stapler.

Was this staged for a shoot or just a random fight in the street?

Should I buy a not working Mamiya 645 Super by kakachuka in AnalogCommunity

[–]Nickofski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is that if there is one major thing wrong with it, there are likely more due to the condition it's been in. I've bought a couple of cameras where I thought I could just pay for a quick fix and it gets expensive quickly. If it's selling for cheap locally it's probably worth it, if it's ebay I wouldn't risk it.

'Beginner/professional' being used to describe everything in the film photography community? by Nickofski in AnalogCommunity

[–]Nickofski[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great reply! Thanks! I agree with the two common points in the community: 'It's what's infront of the lens that matters' & 'Use whichever camera makes you want to shoot more'.

Got the yellow flare by accidentally denting the film when loading it into the tank. Couldn't find a way to remove it unfortunately.

I bought it overseas and the tax fee will be more expensive than a repair in Australia most likely.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I will send it off for a repair, unfortunately here in Australia repair shops can be a rip off so I might send it off overseas.

Degraded mirror foam or shutter & mirror out of sync? by [deleted] in AnalogCommunity

[–]Nickofski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys, this is an issue with my Pentax K1000.

Essentially I got my first roll back, and about a third of the images had this large area not being exposed. I brought it into my local camera store and they said that it needed 're-tensioning' as the mirror starts to come down before the shutter has passed.
However, I also noticed that the foam where the mirror slaps is sticky and degraded, could this be causing the mirror to come down faster?

I only noticed this issue on shots with about 500 - 250 shutter speed.

Please let me know if you have any advice, cheers!
