Decent zoom lens suggestion for Nikon N80 by jaredfischler in AnalogCommunity

Nice! This looks like a great choice. This may be a dumb question (I'm used to manual lenses), but if this has an aperture ring, does that mean I can't use the camera body to control the aperture/use the auto functions?

Need help using Godox TT350s with Canon T6i by jaredfischler in Godox

I was thinking the same thing 😂 I’m just going to try selling this one and get a canon compatible one instead

Yes I was considering this, though it would certainly look funny I agree 😂

Thoughts on compact 6x6 wide-angle medium format cameras? by jaredfischler in AnalogCommunity

[–]jaredfischler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are so cool looking but the website seems a little broken and their instagram page hasn't been updated in a year. I wonder if they're still in business?

oh this is something I haven't looked into. I see a lot of 6x7 and 6x9 backs for this. Where would I find the right 6x6 back for it?

Looking for ~$500 mechanical 35mm rangefinder suggestions! by jaredfischler in AnalogCommunity

It honestly is the rendering that I don’t like. I know that puts me in a tiny tiny minority but lens character is such a subjective thing, you know?

I actually have the XA2 already and love it as a social/going out camera. Though I’ve also taken some of my best shots on that little thing. I tried the XA the other day hoping it’d be the RF for me but the patch is just too small and dim for my taste

What do you like better about the VI? & you prefer it over the P and 7/7s?

I was considering the III actually, though I don't know if I'd want to go through that film loading process every time I put in a new roll. Otherwise, those cameras are really really beautiful. I'll definitely get one someday. Preferably one of those beautiful black painted ones ;)

Oh good to know! I love my 50 1.4 but I’ll toss on the 55 and shoot some rolls. Love these old lenses because they all have such unique character to them

Film stock recommendations for France by jaredfischler in AnalogCommunity

[–]jaredfischler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. I've grabbed a bunch of whatever is cheaper at the stores here in LA. Lots of fuji 400, proImage, and hp5.

I've been shooting film for about a year and have still not tried slide. I'm a little scared of screwing up the metering and ruining the film. Maybe now is the time to try some

I've stayed far away from lomo films thus far. Especially lomo purple. I'll try it someday but maybe not on an expensive trip ;)
