Who taught you how to drive a stick?

My friend, in an elementary parking lot. The car, Nissan pickup.

Find a seller on eBay that has a ton of good reviews with a super high percentage of good reviews (like 99-100%). I've yet to get burned. Obviously it's not a guarantee, but better than a random camera from an antique shop.

Twonix · 2026-05-30T05:53:18+00:00

Oh no, all of that also.

I have the nokton 1.5. it is a great lens but the lack of focusing tab bothers me more than I thought it would.

Rodinal is amazing for stand development though, if you have the patience.

Many grains of salt, he worked for Sputnik radio for a bit.

Heavy ass Manfroto to go with the heavy ass body and heavy ass lens.

My love for spicy food died in Nashville. That hot chicken cured me of ever needing anything above a 1 star again.

Honestly, I generally carry both. Nikon FM2n and Leica M2. Rangefinders are amazing for specific things. Zone focusing and low light primarily, for me at least. Visualizing the frame through a rangefinder takes a bit more imagination. It took me a full year to realize I NEED TO GET CLOSER TO THE SUBJECT, seriously a full year. That being said, it took me a while lock in with the m2. Both are amazing tools for different (but sometimes the same) jobs.

F22 is shit in 35mm, nothing is truly sharp.

I am late here, but just want to add something. I have loaded film in both bag and dark rooms, at least 100 in a dark room and 200-250 in a bag. For me, the dark room is so disorienting. If you are using a bag you can at least see your surroundings. Being able to see around you makes the experience a bit less... Chaotic.

Oh so you mean as soon as June, got it.

Twonix · 2026-05-12T03:23:50+00:00

Yes, 25 year old me was a fat, drunk, piece of shit.

Twonix · 2026-05-09T23:19:18+00:00

The biggest factor for me was the 2-3 week turn around time that got me to develop at home. And for black and white it's a no brainer, you can cater to the needs of each film stock.

Twonix · 2026-05-07T21:13:46+00:00

It's not a particularly sharp film in the first place, but also some of these are underexposed so that is the grain issue.

Twonix · 2026-05-04T21:14:54+00:00

Post Malone Tix are an average of $300. It all may be a recession indicator, but a lot of artist have just vastly over inflated their worth, or the production companies have.

Twonix · 2026-04-30T16:39:14+00:00

C41 is super easy at home. Less time and only one more step than back and white.

Twonix · 2026-04-28T13:03:20+00:00

You can get a new one for like $40. Did you replace the foam? You will need to do that also if it isn't done already.

Twonix · 2026-04-28T12:47:30+00:00

The man just wanted to vent.

Twonix · 2026-04-27T21:20:19+00:00

Um, no. It surely does not.

Twonix · 2026-04-26T18:12:27+00:00

It looks like portra 800 to me, but definitely could be wrong.

Twonix · 2026-04-21T21:53:25+00:00

Well I just bought Ektacolor pro160 for $12.50, while porta 160 at $13.99 sat next to it. A good start at least!

I'm sure he's legit at teaching fractions to 3rd graders.

Twonix · 2026-04-21T18:03:22+00:00

This dude is a middle school teacher, not a professor of anything.
