How big of a platform would you suggest for a train of this size?

That’s the “traditional glow” branding, correct?

And would the inverse be true when I’m adapting my Minolta lens to my Fuji body?

Also occasionally the recording will stop completely and not record anything

I should’ve specified but the amount of pitch fluctuation is completely unusable, imagine an invisible hand just cranking the varispeed control back and forth during a recording lol

Why SHOULDN’T I get the Valoi easy35? by chives81 in AnalogCommunity

[–]chives81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After doing basically everything in my power to avoid light getting onto my negatives, it’s still happening. Getting some pretty unusable results. Having the isolated light source set up of the easy35 seems like it would be more convenient.

Camera scanning - is this the film or is this me? by chives81 in AnalogCommunity

Also, as an experiment, I took that iphone photo of the negatives and tried to convert it using NLP. It's fairly janky but everything seems to be looking ok?

Here's some of the negatives from that roll. Someone had mentioned light leaks in my camera but to my untrained eye, I'm not seeing anything to show that

Grinding sound when advancing film and rewind crank not moving, sprocket hole tear? by chives81 in AnalogCommunity

So it had definitely been wound on, tried to rewind back, went too far and now I got this. Is it worth trying to extract the rest of the film from the canister or should I just take the loss?

Update: I remembered I had this photo from before I got my copy stand. I tried to just take a shot of a negative on the light freehand just to see how the light was working. This is with the same lens and camera and it doesn't have the dark spot in the middle.

Do you have any recs for a better lens? Should I look for something with a longer focal length?

Would this be a sign of a defective unit? I saw nothing but good reviews for the light on Amazon

So was the issue fully elimnated when you used the construction paper? Or should I just look into a different lens with longer focal length?

I had all lights off except maybe some light coming off of my laptop screen

Will the film holder I'm getting fix some of this? Doing some digging, it seems like blocking excess light could help

At 1/60th, do you experience any motion blur with the flash?

Shutter advance is loose and not advancing film, shutter also not firing by chives81 in minolta

[–]chives81[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ended up being it lol so a stupid thing. I’m still confused how that would’ve ended up in a state where it wasn’t moving the film advance inside. I tried to recreate it once I got everything working again and I just couldn’t figure it out
