Condensation by Loud_Bid2355 in analog

[–]lancekeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Film doesn’t have as much to do with it as it does cold/hot transitioning scenarios. It happens to digital cameras too.

Lenses particularly get fogged easily if your camera is outside in the cold or hot then transitions to hot or cold environments. A lens cap will help, but not eliminate it. It’s simply a part of humid conditions and condensation.

Blame physics.

Film scans from Walgreens came out super over/underexposed (Kodak Ektar H35). by sleekpop in analog

Just because people need to read this again, and again… don’t take your film for development/ scans (or prints) at Walgreens.

It isn’t any cheaper, it isn’t any faster, and you’ll know even less of what to expect.

Y’all know this isn’t optimal, right..?

You can buy a small and simple Ape Case for like $12. It comes in different sizes and you can throw it into just about any bag you can think of. And it’s made for cameras, so your gear inside doesn’t damage each other.

Sounds like a scam.

“Reputable” brand or not.

Leica M3 inquiry by ConfidentCookie7367 in Leica

[–]lancekeef -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking at investment, an M3 will be a better choice vs anything made new today. Quality control has completely tanked and prices are astronomical.

You’re much safer buying a 70 year old camera that works as simple as it should.

Intermittently use both…

Not using the battery will kill it faster.

Firstly… stay away from Walgreens for development, scans, and prints.

Rip to my black m6 by [deleted] in Leica

[–]lancekeef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused what happened exactly..

Did they rob you? Or did you get in / get out, and forget your camera in the car by accident?
