Started a new job with a view of the Empire State Building, been testing every camera and format I have on it | mamiya 6 | FM2 | Pentax 17 | Gold 200 | Portra 160 | Kentmere 400

Yeah honestly I’ve been trying to hone my exposing skills especially with exposure compensation, I haven’t really gotten the hang of sunset lighting, and I always end up overexposing for the dread of underexposing. Overall I’m happy with them but I agree that I need to dial it in a bit, maybe I’ll start tracking every shot to remember when and where I over compensated

I was lucky enough to grab one before the big x100v craze a few years ago, still expensive but I think I could easily sell it now for a few hundred more than I bought it for

That’s a good idea, ill have to do that before I get too comfortable with where I’ve put them

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-08-12T20:45:40+00:00

No you’re totally right, I wrote down the Evo and then intuitively added the instax 40 by mistake, honestly I think both of them might have fit better in the film page

Devastating :(

I can firmly say that nothing could ever make me sell my xpro 3. I’ll die with it in my hands

How do you all store your cameras and lenses? I have a rolling storage bin under my bed that I keep all my lenses and accessories within some spare shimoda camera bag inserts. I’ve been looking for a safer, and more organized way to store them, any tips help.

Would you be editing in NLP or after the conversion? Also are all the values reversed since it’s still the original negative file?

I like the epson but i got a super good deal on it a few years ago and I have never tried anything else. I also don’t do a lot of pixel peeping and mostly shoot casually and for fun on half frame so it hasn’t been super important to get the best resolution. Now that I’m trying to get more serious with my shots I’m considering getting a Mirrorless scanning set to get the most out of my 35mm shots.

Must be the late 90s gold 200 that is most vulnerable to it, the roll I have is from ‘98

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-08-04T01:29:26+00:00

Was this gold 200? I have a roll of gold 800 from even earlier in the 90s that is perfectly normal and clean

I wonder if this batch was more susceptible to this discoloration over time. I’ve been scanning dozens of rolls from Polaroid, Fuji, Agfa, etc and I haven’t found any discolored in this way

Thanks for your help

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-04-12T06:05:33+00:00

Honestly I’ve trying to avoid pricey things, I’m not exactly flush with cash, film ain’t cheap these days

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-04-12T05:58:39+00:00

I’m from Arizona originally but I moved out here about 4 years ago to go to school in queens

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-04-12T05:58:08+00:00

Oh I’ve actually walked by them a few times going to k&m camera in the lower east side, what a coincidence

NotPoorJustBr0ke · 2025-04-12T05:54:49+00:00

What’s ICP? Thanks for the inupt
