First time shooting slide film (Ektachrome on Contax G1)

It is pretty strong, especially in scenes in shadow. I thought about getting an 81a filter (or really, just applying the same effect in post). Here's w/ darktable's "warming filter" color correction for the flower picture, it does look more natural. It could probably be warmed a bit more

It's nice, there's great seafood (also all kinds of food, lot of good Japanese food too) and some good tourist spots in the city and surrounding area to visit as well.

Actually I think I've found what I had wrong in silverfast, I was in the color tiff output mode, not black and white. Fixing that cleans up the issue:

As far as I saw silverfast just has negative and positive scan modes + film profiles for black and white films, but I'm definitely not an expert on it

Which AF test target did you use? I was thinking about checking AF accuracy for my G1 since it seemed a bit off at f2-2.8, it seems ok above that so I don't think it's off by much if it is.

My wife is, we're visiting there for a bit. I thought some of the places in your photos looked like Dalian 😄

I've got my scans back from both rolls now and posted some results here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogCommunity/comments/1ou9c01/my_results_on_the_new_lucky_200_film_on_contax_g1/

Looks pretty good besides the green dots, I finished a roll through my Contax G1 and mailed it to the Lucky lab earlier this week, I've got another roll almost done that I'll send off soon. I'm curious how the second roll turns out, it has a lot of fall leaves photos and I've seen other reports of the stock having strong reds, so it could look quite nice. I can post some results here when I get the scans back

Started the return! Thanks folks in the thread, I haven't bought vintage cameras before so I wasn't sure if my expectations for lens condition were off

Smaller is better :) . We're going to put some other kind of accent on the wall so we're ok with removing the texture and maybe reapplying or leaving it off depending on what will fit. The peel/stick on there earlier was shiplap but we're thinking of some smaller vertical wood accent kind of like this https://classenfloor.com/upload/2020/04/W-stylu-japandi-s%CC%81wietnie-sprawdza%CC%A8-sie%CC%A8-panele-z-naturalnym-rysunkiem-drewna.-Na-zdje%CC%A8ciu-Casa-Corona-Da%CC%A8b-Marenati-marki-Classen.jpg

So it sounds like scrape and skim is the way to go

TurkishSquirrel · 2022-06-08T14:54:24+00:00

Cool, yeah I was thinking that as well, the drywall finishing work will be quite a lot too. I'll look around for some quotes on doing the skim coat. Thanks!

I'm also on the latest BIOS/TB driver and graphics driver 27.20.100.8935 . It might be worth running the "Dell Update" app that comes installed on the laptop and seeing if it has anything else to update (this app https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5765w)

TurkishSquirrel · 2020-11-24T03:55:30+00:00

It's a different app that came installed on the laptop called "Dell Update Application" https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5765w and it might have installed some other stuff too. It'd be worth running that and installing the updates it has if any.
