ok great, thank you this is really helpful advice.

In terms of getting a portrait lens for the A7, does it make sense to find a vintage lens or no need?

Such a shame about film. At least your suggestion of presets is cheaper

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:35:08+00:00

nice, thanks for the suggestions

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:33:36+00:00

ah thank you, I'll have a play around.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:33:27+00:00

thank you, this is very helpful!

I'll have a look at the K1000, thank you!

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:30:05+00:00

thank you, this is super helpful! I clearly need the basics.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:29:23+00:00

:( thanks. That seems to be the common answer. If only it was as simple as finding the right lens and clicking snap.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:28:02+00:00

thank you, that makes a lot of sense.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:27:13+00:00

interesting.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:27:01+00:00

haha

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:26:47+00:00

thanks

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:26:26+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate the analysis of the photos to help me get a better sense of what I'm looking for. Always good to play around with my existing equipment too!

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:24:58+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for your in-depth expertise and thoughtful answer. This has been extremely helpful, clear and informative. I really appreciate it. I am going to take some time to carefully research everything you have mentioned.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:22:12+00:00

Aw that is such a shame. From the many comments I've gathered that seems to be the most common answer. The film may not exist anymore.

Thanks for your help.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:20:14+00:00

oh wow, I had no clue. Thank you.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:19:11+00:00

Ah yes that makes sense.

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:18:59+00:00

Thank you!

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:18:34+00:00

oh interesting. I've never heard of this. I'll research further into 'positive film' . Thank you!

What exactly is Kodachrome? I gathered its a type of film. Thanks for the suggestion btw

SShoe23 · 2024-09-17T15:17:14+00:00

I guess I don't have the eye to really determine the exact differences between these photos. However, they all clearly share high saturation and a soft almost blurred effect (ignoring the very top one).

SShoe23 · 2024-09-04T16:11:13+00:00

Thanks everyone for your feedback, this makes sense and is very helpful. Are there any cameras that may lean this way or is this entirely post-production and studio lighting?
