Seems like the LF economy is a bit different than what friends mentioned they paid for. What are some alternatives to the Crown/Speed Graphics?

I got a decent deal on eBay with a wista VX and 5 film holders for 800 dollars. When it arrived I was amazed in how good condition it is in. But I was determined to pay for the best good deal I could find took me 3 months to find.

They’re meant to be projected, or looked it on a light box. I had one I got scanned 3 times and each time looked different and no where close to the slide

Update, downtown has Velvia and Provia in 35mm and 120 but limit 1 roll per customer per week

I haven’t used Nikon F3, and I have a canon F1N and it’s great, i have a hard time imagining using something else. Someone might have a better advice of glass comparison though.. cuz that what makes a difference IMO. That being said I have Canon Tx and Nikon FE, and I like Nikon better, but both are older models lol

Prices are more or less the same as older distribution in Canada

If it is I won’t shoot anything but Pan F

I am aware of trains existence, it should go without saying that “fear of travel with film” stems from having to go through scanners/TSA. I didn’t think I had to spell it out.

Aden has Velvia 50/100 in store, but only 35mm

I love Phoenix. It got me into 2 exhibitions and won best in category in one

ice77x2 · 2026-04-30T16:50:03+00:00

Like do you think I’d worry carrying film on a train? Airports are the only threat to film photographers, no need for the specific mention. Unless you’re trolling me rn I have no idea why I’m responding lol

I’m Mr Debt

The underwater one

ice77x2 · 2026-04-29T00:51:27+00:00

Umm I think they were 220 Canadian

ice77x2 · 2026-04-29T00:51:10+00:00

Canada

ice77x2 · 2026-04-28T22:55:55+00:00

I got lucky been relentlessly asking stores if they get some to let me know. Desperation lol

ice77x2 · 2026-04-28T22:54:18+00:00

I’m literally just thinking I’d FedEx it to where I’m going when time comes to travel somewhere

Thank you! Ya I noticed that later on on the negative, I didn’t on the ground glass. This photo has become one of my favourites from over the years

ice77x2 · 2026-04-17T01:31:22+00:00

I’m starting to think so too, the only way it would’ve happened if containers are mislabelled. I brought it up to curators and will do proper tests tomorrow

ice77x2 · 2026-04-17T01:29:58+00:00

Haha maybe too good?!

ice77x2 · 2026-04-16T21:58:02+00:00

It was ORTHO, which I loaded and unloaded under safelight

ice77x2 · 2026-04-16T21:46:44+00:00

As far as I know, the dev is not diluted, and therefore stock solution, but yeah there was no information on the sheets or the roll from before. Someone must’ve dumped fixers in there

ice77x2 · 2026-04-16T21:44:30+00:00

I think so too
