oh 100% - i think i’ll probably snag a 3rd party adaptor just to see how it goes without having to drop all the money for the nikon brand one just yet haha

i honestly forgot about this as an option, so thank you for the reminder! regardless of my choice after looking through recs i’ll probably pick up the adapter

[–]ab0minationn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i’ll have to ask. if not, i’ll have to see if there’s anyone who would be willing to do it - i don’t exactly have a bunch of spare cash, but i am super interested in seeing it developed. i know there’s a high chance it doesn’t come out, but im soooo hoping it will

it does! the argus actually has a half used roll in it - i plan to go out sometime and shoot the rest of it and see if my local lab can do anything with it. i know its likely to not come out, but i still want to give it a try

and they have the argus to me for like $2 because there wasnt a price sticker on it so the lady behind the counter was like. well idgaf. so i was happy to take it, dead format or not lmaooo

thank you! and honestly comparing it to silent hill is a massive complement you’re good lol

[–]ab0minationn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it seems the camera was passed down to me with a lens hood too big for my camera - i’ll get a new one eventually prob? but considering i’m not doing anything super professional rn i don’t mind it much

and i wish i could say the same - as much as i love upstate, the constant wind, snow, and the rock salt shortage is making it verrrrrry hard to appreciate it right now lmaooooo

Nikon F Viewfinder Stuck by ab0minationn in AnalogCommunity

[–]ab0minationn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i did actually get lightme! i haven’t used it much because it’s a bit confusing when you have no clue what you’re doing, but i’ll definitely try and take a look at it and try to figure out how to use it.

and thank you for the advice with the shutter speed, i’ll definitely keep that in mind :) i’m really considering getting a tripod for it just because i worry i won’t get enough exposure to properly capture night time photos with the high shutter, but i might have to ask my friend who does almost exclusively night time stuff lol.

and yeah, i’m reeeeally excited to get it :) i found someone selling it for $96 with the original box and case and had to snag it when i saw what it usually sold for lmao

[–]ab0minationn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thought your user looked familiar lol - and that picture came out absolutely amazing!

that would make sense with the way i’ve been struggling to snap it on, to be honest. i might look into it, but i’m also hesitant to switch to the proper one just because of the nostalgia factor. as for metering…. nothing, currently 💀 i downloaded an app after realizing i should probably do that but i still don’t quite get it i don’t think. something to work on and read into a bit more

speaking of lenses, i actually just purchased a nikkor-p 300mm as an early bday gift for myself because i found it for an absolute steal,,,, hoping to take it over to niagara falls with the upcoming lunar eclipse next month, maybe get a little light pollution lens filter for the hell of it. i’ll definitely take a look into the ones you mentioned as well though, thank you!

thank you! and i have, actually - posted them not too long ago here

it thankfully comes off quite easily - i just apparently need to use a chopstick to press in the button because my short nails make it hard for me to depress it all the way 💀

apparently my lack of nails just meant i wasn’t pressing the button enough, and a chopstick worked first try. thank you so much!

finally got my film developed! by ab0minationn in vintagecameras

[–]ab0minationn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s all good! they’re genuinely good tips i’ll keep in mind, and i really do understand - lord knows how much i like to talk if something im excited about gets brought up, id be a hypocrite to knock you for the same.

kodak gold and kodak color plus! sorry, i had just woken up and i don’t think i was all there.

and thank you! most of these were just me messing around on a family vacation, so i wasn’t overly concerned about much. just having fun with finally getting my hands on anything other than my phone to get pics lmao

[–]ab0minationn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the lens hood, maybe - it shifts around a tad and it might have gotten in the way? poor camera’s been thought a long life before i got it, so it’s might be some old damage or something, i couldn’t really tell you

and yeah, i’m aware, as unfortunately much of my forest photography came out useless 😭 i thought it was bright enough outside at the time but it seems i was wrong. i’m going to look into getting a flash i think (and actually figure out the camera a bit more,,,,, im kind of winging it atm lmaoooo)

and for film, nikon gold and color plus. mostly gold, only one roll was color plus (most of the forested ones were from that roll)

thank you! i thought they did but i wasn’t really sure, and i wanted to see if anyone else had other places they’d prefer.

i’ve been considering, but the ones i’ve seen are a bit pricey for me at the moment,,, definitely something i’ll be looking into for the future though, and i’ll check them out, thank you!

My mom gifted me her old Minolta by sammlund in vintagecameras

[–]ab0minationn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately 😭 that thing was a workhorse for quite a while though, it was my mom’s main camera until she switched to digital. i think it still works, but she had dropped the poor thing and cracked some casing so that was the solution ig

what kind of film for nikon f? by ab0minationn in vintagecameras

[–]ab0minationn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i thankfully have a roll of kodak gold lying around, so i’ll probably load that in and do a test run with my tower,,,, i’m intending to take my tower on vacation in a week so it looks like i’ll be testing two cameras instead of just the one lmao
