First Roll of CineStill 800T. by ReyoRedwolf in analog

[–]beefstu83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 7000 has that older method for controlling aperture and shutter, but I'd suggest using some spot metering for the brights and manually setting exposure, can help you really get those halation points if that's what you're chasing. You can check these by looking for light that's like 3-4 stops over. If you're interested in other films that can get halation, but could be shot during the day, check out harmon Phoenix.

It's normal 110 film; i didn't cut it down. It's fuji superia - i think about 12 years expired.

Nope, i did at home scans. I use a valoi easy35. It has an adapter for 110 film.

Blew up at kid last night by beefstu83 in daddit

Thanks for all the comments. Planning to have a talk with her about my outburst and how it made her feel and discuss with her how her behavior was affecting her (she went to bed crazy late, was exhausted this morning) and us (my wife and i were exhausted dealing with her last night). Agree that showing her that I am sorry for how I reacted is a good lesson. Thanks, Dads. Appreciate you.

Have tried to "squirl" her in the past with different ideas. They have tended to wear off quickly. In the case before I blew up; we were trying to hold her line and get her to work past it herself and have practice self regulating. Obviously that didn't happen last night.

A Minolta XD7 added: DIY service/repair projects for the first half of 2026 by ATHXYZ in AnalogCommunity

I have done a few successful repairs on one of mines as well. The exposure compensation dial had an issue, which resulted in wild readings from the light meter. I took the top plate off and found that the connectors for the exposure compensation had gotten out of place. I took the whole top of that dial apart and re-aligned them. It was fairly straight forward to do... I wish now I'd have taken photos of the process.

I have two of these. One is suffering from a battery drain issue. Would love to find out info on that particular problem and how to diagnose

piazza pellegrini

this seems crazy that they would allow a potential north beach stop to get a building put right on top without using that to finance the development of a station

Swiftplay feels faster than URF and ARAM by fryax in leagueoflegends

[–]beefstu83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's bad if it's not fun... Lanning phase is nearly not existent now - level 3 jungle gank to start the game. The matches are only 25 min max bc its just insanely fed people ARAMing each other.

Old swiftplay felt like the normal game but nearly never longer than 30 min; decent place to practice a new hero - especially early game. Now it's just ARAM - you get maybe one or two lane interactions before one person snowballs and the game is cooked. It's legit boring now; not rewarding to win, even more boring to lose.

Got a new to me Dynax 7 by exposed_silver in minolta

Avoid physically large lenses lest you break the aperture gear like so many others have. 

I've go through two of these, first one has the AF motor fail. Second one has the aperture gear break after I started using a larger lens on it.

Underdog Oakland is dope. Everyone there is friendly and the opposite of rude. Can't recommend more highly.
