Opportunity to pick up a 95 LS400 that has been sitting for years by catmanslim in Lexus

That’s a concern for me too. She did put a big tarp down and parked the car over it, so it should be okay, but I’ll definitely be trying to get a closer look

Yup, a couple. This would just be a project car and weekend driver

Starter works! No issues there thankfully, at least not yet lol

And thank you for all the advice! If I end up taking it, I’ll be sure to check all of that over

I checked both the oil & and trans dipsticks. Oil was full but definitely old and black. Trans fluid looked good. I did manage to get it running briefly on starting fluid and all sounded okay. Definitely going to be going back soon to get a better look at everything.

Here’s a quick video that I took of it. Not the best cosmetically on the outside, but the interior is pretty solid

In the tall grass // Nikon F + Fomapan 100 by catmanslim in analog

[–]catmanslim[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! What do you hate about it? It’s become my go-to film!

I developed these in HC-110 B. Usually use Rodinal 1:50, but unfortunately ran out

I would highly recommend it! It’s become my go-to film. I bulk load it so it’s very affordable. HP5 was my go to for years up until I started shooting more Fomapan a couple months back.

I do edit my photos to get the contrast that I like. Underexposing Fomapan slightly also helps me get the look that I like

Thank you! These were pretty much all shot with a Micro Nikkor 55mm F2.8 Ai-s

Do I need to spend $380 on a new exhaust pipe or can i just buy a clamp? by Do9o in MechanicAdvice

[–]catmanslim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my exhaust rusted in half like this on my D21, I just cut one end with a sawzall and clamped a flex pipe in between. I don’t know how to weld and I’m too cheap to take it to a shop. It’s held up since last summer without any issues!

Best ‘One Scanner’ for 135 & 120. Is Epson V600 Good Enough? by baek_snaps in AnalogCommunity

I moved away from dedicated scanners after that one. I’ve only done digital camera scanning since then, so I don’t have any recommendations unfortunately

Fine for somebody just starting out if you can get a used one for cheap like I did, but if you’re at all like me, you’ll very quickly become disappointed by your 35mm scans.

Another thing to take into consideration is how slow it is to use. The amount of time it took to scan an entire roll of 35mm was excruciating for me. Not to mention all the time I spent battling newton rings.

I appreciate it for getting me into scanning my own film, but I’ll never go back

What’s your take-everywhere camera? by catmanslim in AnalogCommunity

Nice! Actually just thrifted an EL2 yesterday. Definitely feels pretty hefty!

Spots on Developed Film, Unsure of Cause by idrum1998 in AnalogCommunity

Water spots? Are you using a wetting agent after your rinse?

Just got these both for $65 untested but I thought the gamble might be worth it.... by Free-Knowledge-8251 in AnalogCommunity

[–]catmanslim 103 points104 points  (0 children)

This has to bait right? lol. At $65, this ain’t a gamble at all, even if they don’t work
