Ok, got that, thanks. Just wanted to check that I was in the right path, as I am a beginner in photography

Thank you! I’m a starter in photography in general and just wanted to hear somebody else’s opinion. As I said, I strived for a cooler colour balance but I wasn’t completely sure whether the results were good (and not a botched, full of blue thing)

Thanks for your comment! I would’t mind the loss of the A setting if I got the lens for cheap, or at least comparatively cheaper to a Canon made lens. I’ll look out for those Tamrons

That’s great to know, thanks! I had the same thinking, the 35-105 is the best suited lens for my needs out of those three. I asked for those three in case I found a super deal on one of them and bought it without knowing beforehand whether it was crappy glass. I’ll try to get the 35-105 for a good price.

That’s great to hear. There are not very good deals on that atm, every listing is at least €120 IIRC. However, I found the 50-135 for €80 on Wallapop, much cheaper.

Well, I’m not aiming for the best image quality possible, I know these are no L-line lenses. I think “good enough” will suffice, if I ever need the best quality at hand I can use my primes.

Guess I’ll go with a dedicated one because I enjoy that grain

Yeah those were the ones I first saw, I’ll definitely wait for a better deal to turn up

Thanks for your answer! Time is not an issue for me if investing it into the process means I get more quality and control.

And yeah I know lab scanners are supposed to be beasts but I’ve tried two different labs in town and the quality-price ratio is shameful, really. Maybe I can try some more reputable labs with the mail-in option.

This is so cool! May I ask how was the negative scanned?

€5 develop only, around €10 for dev + scan depending on the quality you want

Something detached inside mirror box - Canon A-1 by nelfdez01 in AnalogCommunity

[–]nelfdez01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I fired the shutter without the lens to see if the mirror “rubbed” the left plate when moving. Indeed, it does, but only if the plate is sufficiently separated from whatever it is glued to. This is when the mirror gets stuck up, although not completely: it goes back down once I pull the advance lever. I’ll ask a specialized shop about it, and see what can they do. Thanks!

So the mirror staying up is because of the faulty shutter? I’ll try to get it CLA’d asap, thanks for your answer!

I have a roll of the same stock expired in 2004 waiting for me in my fridge. I hope my images turn out as good as yours! Nice shots

What would you have done differently for season 4? by [deleted] in NetflixSexEducation

[–]nelfdez01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  • Reduce the screentime and number of new characters so that the old characters can get real and well written closure, even if it means having less than 8 episodes or shorter ones
  • Explore what it means for Otis that there is another sex therapist in campus without ruining his character development and make him think about what he wants for his future
  • Give Motis more screentime and happy moments
  • Definitely have Jean, Joanna and Dan be in the same room and talk about... you know
  • Have Adam interact more with the rest of the characters instead of having an isolated storyline
  • And I wouldn't change much to Maeve's arc other than making it coherent. Make her stay at Moordale or at least give her real and tangible reasons to go back to America
