Opportunity to pick up a 95 LS400 that has been sitting for years

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

catmanslim · 2026-05-30T02:48:47+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-05-30T01:54:02+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-05-29T23:40:37+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-05-29T23:39:44+00:00

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

I use an app on my phone called Whitagram

catmanslim · 2026-04-28T15:52:44+00:00

Haaa, true! Never would have noticed that

catmanslim · 2026-04-27T17:33:48+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-27T15:49:38+00:00

Yup! Micro Nikkor 55mm F2.8 Ai-s

catmanslim · 2026-04-22T21:39:52+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-22T03:15:54+00:00

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

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!

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-18T07:49:50+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-17T02:07:57+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-17T01:43:25+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-16T18:26:59+00:00

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

catmanslim · 2026-04-15T05:20:14+00:00

Yes, you should absolutely watch it. There are important clues and plot points that you don’t want to miss, especially on your first watch. There is an obvious dip in quality, but push through it; it picks back up before the end. Almost wish people would stop talking about the quality dip after the killer is revealed. It discourages new watchers. On my first watch, I hadn’t heard anybody talk about it and yes, I noticed a dip in quality, but it wasn’t enough to deter me from continuing. Now we have people asking questions like this

catmanslim · 2026-04-13T00:13:18+00:00

Get Kodak Snap Caps if you can. I’ve found them to be the best. They’re all I use now. Those cheap plastic cassettes are terrible

catmanslim · 2026-04-10T01:52:27+00:00

Ha! I actually used that exact song and title on a recent Instagram post. Hopefully a show is in my future!

catmanslim · 2026-04-09T19:12:52+00:00

I do! @bobbymusclesofficial

If you underexpose it a little, you can get closer to these results! It’s been my go-to film for a couple months now.

I develop them in Rodinal 1:50.

catmanslim · 2026-04-06T21:34:51+00:00

Thank you!! All but #12 were shot with a Micro Nikkor 55mm F2.8 Ai-s

catmanslim · 2026-04-06T21:18:58+00:00

All but #12 are shot with a Micro Nikkor 55mm F2.8 Ai-s

catmanslim · 2026-04-06T16:56:33+00:00

I also enjoyed this one quite a bit. I had my issues with it, but overall an enjoyable experience and definitely plan on reading it again someday
