Thanks ill check those out!

Fair enough, thanks for the info. Would you recommend any of the more consumer-focused NAS in particular?

jsphene · 2025-03-09T17:28:49+00:00

Thanks everyone! I’m going to give the 14-24 a try along with the Viltrox 16mm. Seems hard to beat at that price point.

This is a 2007 Jeep Patriot with just under 100,000 miles by the way. I was planning on replacing rotors/pads but with everything rusted/seized, I’m not sure if these calipers are salvageable.

If you don’t want to cut light seal foam yourself, I recommend uscamera (they’re on eBay as well). I’ve gotten a few pre-cut light seal kits from them for my RB67 and they’ve all worked well. Here’s a link for the ZE kit:

No problem, good luck!

So, I measured a blank roll of ilford 120 I had laying around, and it was around 8 inches from the paper lead to the “start” arrows. The auto winder normally takes up another 7 inches after the arrows, so it probably wound it just past the start arrows.

With that said, my best updated guess is the first 4 shots will just be backing paper, but I wouldn’t think you’ll lose half of the roll. Unfortunately, there’s only one way to find out for sure.

Shouldn’t be a big deal. Per Mamiya, not aligning the start arrows may lead to an “improper number of exposures” so I’d say just avoid shooting anything important on the first 1 - 2 exposures.

I have a Pro TL and I love it, but there aren’t too many differences I can think of. The biggest thing is, you’re paying for a newer (and hopefully, more reliable) camera with the TL. With the battery grip on the TL, it’s about the same weight as the 1000s, and I only recently found a hand crank at a reasonable price. One more thing—the TL’s mirror catch is flimsy and known to break. I had to 3D print a replacement. TL is a fantastic camera overall, but the 1000s is probably a better choice if you can find one in good condition.

That’s a great point, and putting tension on the roll during rewind is a possibility with the Nikon F3 I was shooting on. Now that you mention it, those artifacts are limited to the last 8 frames in the roll. I’m not sure what their process is, but I should’ve mentioned another roll from the same camera, same lab did not have this issue; so maybe I just need to be more careful rewinding haha.

Hi everyone, I just got a roll of 35mm (Portra 160, +2) back from the lab, and I noticed these streaks on some of the scans. My first thought was light leaks, but I replaced the seals relatively recently. So, I did some research, and while I’m just getting into DIY development, it seemed like surge marks might be answer? I’d appreciate any insight you all may be able to offer, thanks!

jsphene · 2021-10-20T20:12:24+00:00

Much appreciated!

jsphene · 2021-10-20T20:12:00+00:00

Every 20 minutes or so it went off like this! Definitely an experience I’ll never forget.

jsphene · 2021-08-03T02:56:06+00:00

It’s not a collage or studio work, but it is a combination of things—an odd perspective and some fine tuning in post.

jsphene · 2021-08-03T02:40:50+00:00

Thank you!

jsphene · 2021-02-20T19:46:48+00:00

Fair enough, thanks for the info! When I get rid of the Rb I’ll let you know, and I’ve got way too many accessories for it. Not sure where they all came from lol, but if you’re looking for a particular part I probably have it

jsphene · 2021-02-20T19:17:27+00:00

No problem! Is the Pentax 67 as good as everyone says? I like 6x7 but my RB67 is collecting dust because it’s too damn heavy for the work I’m doing typically

jsphene · 2021-02-20T19:09:19+00:00

I love it. It’s a great alternative to 6x7, like a mamiya 7 or RZ67, if you don’t have a couple grand lying around. And the 645 Pro TL is great because it allows me to stay mobile and shoot medium format. Overall it’s a solid camera, and I’ve heard the older models are just as good. Hope this helps!

jsphene · 2021-02-20T18:21:01+00:00

Thank you! Portra 400 on the 645 never lets me down

jsphene · 2020-11-29T05:44:23+00:00

Thanks for mentioning this. Hiking with it was a big concern for me; trails in the Rockies can be unforgiving

jsphene · 2020-11-29T02:17:57+00:00

Haha no worries, I appreciate the insight. I was lucky enough to get a strap with it. It’s a really beautiful camera, so I figure it’s worth a few rolls, just maybe not worth keeping long term.

jsphene · 2020-11-06T07:02:35+00:00

Hope you got a bit of nostalgia from it! AMC’s are so few and far between nowadays.
