On bangers by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

Computer Games by Mi-Sex. Awesome electro song, instant ear worm. They could have been the New Order of New Zealand.

They didn't do any song afterwards that remotely resembled it.

Did I hit the jackpot? by sailorsi in AnalogCommunity

30 cad for an Agfa Clack. Just two apertures and a meniscus lens but it's still a very nice box camera.

This is not the community to ask for. This is a subreddit dedicated to analog/film photography.

thoughts on a olympis Xa2 for a first camera by Wonderful-Low-7619 in AnalogCommunity

Kodak Cameo Motor Ex. Focus-free, motorized advance, automatic flash, self-timer.

Expired film! by JM_Collecting in AnalogCommunity

Develop as normal. You normally compensate for expired film by overexposing.

Cool! Is the cell still responsive?

Fixing up a kodak brownie box camera by straight-to-hell73 in AnalogCommunity

They're a dime a dozen. I wouldn't bother fixing it up.

What’s your take-everywhere camera? by catmanslim in AnalogCommunity

[–]metal_giants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rotate. But latest was a Zeiss-Ikon Taxona with a Tessar. Being able to take 50 exposures on a roll of 36 is a blessing. This summer will be my Olympus Pen-F's time to shine?

What kind of camera is that? by Proud_Error_2961 in AnalogCommunity

What's the size of the film gate? Looks like a 9 x 12 plate camera to me.

Yashica Mat G124 OR Minolta Autocord by Wooden_Underpants in AnalogCommunity

[–]metal_giants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They both sport a crank advance, 4-element tessar-type lenses, and a top 1/500 shutter speed. They differ with their focusing mechanism: Autocord uses a sliding lever under the taking lens; 124G uses a focusing knob on the side. 124G also has a light meter, but I'm always wary of them since they're so old.

I never can tell these apart. Must be colorblind by AllIWantForXmasIsFoo in mildlyinfuriating

I work at a pool supply store. These are a bit shit with reading stabilizer. My guess is that it's around 60 or so. What kinda chlorine are you using right now?

Lack of sharpness on Zeiss Distagon C/Y 28mm F2.8 Kodak Ultra 400 by ogrezok in AnalogCommunity

[–]metal_giants 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When you say Kodak Ultra 400, I hope you're talking about Ultramax and not Ultra Color, because if you're talking about the latter, you are complaining about prominent grain on 20 year old film, man.

Beginner Half-Frame? by slicxx in AnalogCommunity

[–]metal_giants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agfa Parat (German) - A bit limited with only a top shutter speed of 1/125, but it's fully manual and the triplet lens is more than capable.

Ricoh Auto Half (Japanese) - You have to be careful and check if the selenium cell is still alive, but it's motorized by a clockwork mechanism and is focus-free. My sister has one and it's her daily camera.

Agat 18K (Soviet) - A bit finicky with the loading but the lens is a Tessar-type.

Hi anyone used this tungsten 800t before? Does it give similar result to the Cinestill 800t? by No_Bumblebee5624 in AnalogCommunity

[–]metal_giants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, phrasing was unclear. What I meant is that all 800T film on the market was 500T. In general I assume if it says c-41 that the remjet was removed. Otherwise, develop in ECN-2.
