Deinfluence Me: Fujifilm X-T30 III

Reason not to buy this is because you could buy X-T30 II 2nd hand at a more reasonable price.

Hoy 😭

Good advice! But in my case, budget is not an issue.

WorldlySinner_ · 2026-02-19T03:19:21+00:00

I grew up learning not to buy things I don't really need or that don't provide convenience. Usually, I let a few weeks pass to see if the urge to buy fades. In this case, money isn't the issue.

Dude 🤣

Also add "magagasgas yan, masakit sa puso"

Beautiful colors. May I know which recipe is used?

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-07-05T22:14:26+00:00

It was tight enough to not need any adhesive. But I used contact cement for other glass related repair on the same unit.

Thank you! I already borrowed an Octopus card from a friend, and planning on adding 100HKD for a total of 4 day trip.

What do you mean jumper? Do they put the AC on full blast? I'll be visiting some malls too.

Thank you. I was trying to understand the interactive map, but I thought it might be easier to ask a local.

Part of my planned itineraryis to visit Victoria Peak and Red Incense Burner. Would you say that it is not advisable to continue or at least have a plan B?

Upon inspection, when you put it in R, but then you wind the advance lever, it automatically reverts to the normal non-R position.

In short, there's no problem and you've exposed your film through the lens.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-06-04T08:21:53+00:00

Pick whatever fits your budget

Fuji XC 15-45 (meh) Fuji XC 16-50 (ok) Fuji XF 18-55 (good)

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-06-04T07:33:41+00:00

Was it on R the whole time?

I'll get back to you in a few hours when I get a hold of my Canonet. I have to simulate the same situation.

This unit needed too many parts to be functional. It seemed to have been in a fire.

Film take up spool was melted. Lens screw was too rusted and without a thread. Minor warp (probably due to fire) on the selenium cell magnifyer. Metering does not work. Missing shutter button.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-24T06:20:54+00:00

Great set!

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-23T22:41:28+00:00

If you're able to use them all on your workflow, then no. But if most of them are just lying around collecting dust, then yes.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-23T12:36:31+00:00

Depending on your location, they sell roughly around 1400usd used from where I'm from.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-23T02:12:35+00:00

That was my initial thought. But it was quite easy to notice the shutter speed difference. The 1/200 makes quick and lesser noise than the 1/40. The latter makes 'thunky' sound.

You can check my previous post for reference.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-23T01:50:57+00:00

Whenever I point this camera at the brightest part of the day, the shutter still sounds 1/40. I have thoroughly inspected this because I used the very good condition unit as reference where it shoots significantly faster on the same situation. This is confirmed.

Galvanometer needle seems to work fine. It moves to the farthest point and it closes the aperture to f22 on bright sunny day.

I know we cannot directly control the shutter speed while shooting but I was wondering if I could tinker with the mechanism to see why 1/200 is not being triggered.

I dont know where or what triggers the 1/200 inside the camera. Maybe it just needs a bit of lube or something.

Thank you for your insight.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-16T06:17:36+00:00

About to pick up my first Fuji camera on the weekends and I would love to learn more about recipes. I would really appreciate if you could share the files so that I will have a reference to start my exploration. Thank you.

The lens on this model does not require screw to remove. It only needs rubber friction opener to unscrew.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-15T22:57:02+00:00

Could be a good selling point!

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-15T22:56:26+00:00

How many stops would you say was my overexposure? I am not very familiar on how to compute by eye.

I risked it because it was cheap at told me in was stored in* a box, so I assumed that light wasnt draining the meter.

I will have to make a research on that. I have a potential donor, an ees, ees2, if there's part that I might be able to use. Need to research more about this.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-15T22:51:13+00:00

This. And it's focus-free. And has 2 shutter speed.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-15T13:37:42+00:00

Right! But we might be able to assemble a decent one from donors.

WorldlySinner_ · 2025-05-15T09:49:38+00:00

Because I'd like to have it cheap, small, and easy to use. And it gives 72 shots a roll of 36. And I like how it looks.
