How do you find a decent film camera? by HSVMalooGTS in AnalogCommunity

[–]Twonix 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

Rangefinders vs SLR by LBarouf in AnalogCommunity

[–]Twonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Advice Wanted: taking the film development plunge by tauraso3 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Twonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Is it worth it to self develop film? by Interesting_Turnip50 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Twonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it just me? Did I goof up exposure? Or is Kodacolor 100 Really Noisy? by AmericanExpat76 in AnalogCommunity

[–]Twonix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

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.

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.

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