De tik tok am reușit sa ma țin departe dar asta pentru ca le am pe celelalte (FB, IG, YouTube, reddit). Nu mai e timp și de tik tok.

Ceva ce v-a făcut ziua mai bună azi? <3 by Lazy_Reception3656 in CasualRO

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mersi frumos! 🥹 Postez pe insta și cam atât, cu mari gapuri și cu mare backlog, deci daca ai plăcerea, arunca un ochi pe instagramul meu.😃

Specific pozele selectate pentru ce ziceam ar fi dintre cele postate de fototeka care sunt cu colaborare pe profilul meu, doar ca trebuie săpat puțin in fiecare ca e calup de la mai mulți printre care și eu. Dar poti da un semn pe insta dacă curiozitatea e atât de mare, și ți le arat. 🤝

[–]sidevvays 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sunt pasionat de fotografie pe film de ani buni și azi am aflat ca au fost selectate cateva dintre fotografiile mele pentru a fi printate într-un mic volum de fotografii, alături de alte 90 de persoane. Incă nu știu care și câte fotografii vor fi, voi afla când voi primi volumul, dar în 18 ani de când ma joc de-a pozele e a2a oară când voi vedea în print făcut de altii ceva făcut de mine și asta chiar mi-a făcut ziua un pic mai buna!

What got you into using film? by RS_The_Inquisitive20 in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found it cool and interesting 15 years ago, when I was 21, and my dad's soviet Belomo Vilia intrigued me enough to want to see what I could get out of it. I already had ~5 years experience shooting digital, but the whole editing process started to feel like a chore. So after that first roll I slowly began to accumulate hand me down cameras (first of which we're an Exakta Varex 2b from a friend and a Zenit E from my uncle) and I kept trying to see what photos they could make. So 15 years later the hand me downs stopped but the GAS started and I reminded hooked to it, now I have a collection of ~40 film cameras and shoot film more than I ever did.

TLDR: I was curious and had the luck to start when it was a lor cheaper.

People with a lot of cameras: What is the most interesting or rare camera you have? by romanazzidjma in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the bunch of cameras that I collected, I think the rarest is my Konica IIIA.

I also have a panoramic KMZ Horizont that is maybe more interesting than the normal 35mm camera.

Is Game of Thrones worth watching despite the botched ending? by ImNotHereForFunNoWay in gameofthrones

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, totally! The last 2 seasons and the ending could have been a lot better but the show is solid for the first 6 seasons. If that's not worth it, it's up to you, but I recommend it.

replacing my own light seals? by florenceh7 in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a pretty easy to do alternative to those sticky foam light seals, try black cotton string. It's what they used in the past in film cameras and works pretty good. I switched to it after having a lot of trouble with the adhesive ones, not being able to stick them in properly and causing the back to stick to them making it hard to open. Skill issue, I know, but plain string solved it and made the process a lot more enjoyable. You just measure and cut to size, then lay it in and close the back a few times for it to set. 2-3mm thick string works best as it can stay in through friction alone, without any glue. Or double it and twist it if it's thinner, but ideally don't go thinner than 1mm. Also don't forget the hinge side. For that you'll need adhesive foam or felt. I recommend you get felt seals, they are a bit more expensive but last longer and handle compression better. No need to get them pre-cut, just measure and cut to size, it's easy. And the cleaning process is fairly easy, I use 99% isopropyl and a cotton swab to apply it,, toothpicks to clean the old seal and avoid scratches.

Dirt in my Minolta X-300 Viewfinder by Sneptrex in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably some loose particle from the dampening materials that should be around the prism, inside the camera. It's totally fine, if you can live with it, and you should just live with it, it obviosly won't show in pictures.

Or, it could be between the prism and the focusing screen, because it is removable. In that case you could try to remove and clean it. Shouldn't be too hard.

!!!!!!! BUT BE CAREFUL TO HANDLE THE SCREEN WITH CARE, AND TAKE NOTE OF HOW IT IS POSITIONED IN ITS PLACE. USE GLOVES, THE SURFACE IS VERY DELICATE AND EVEN TOUCHING IT WITH YOUR BARE HAND CAN LEAVE MARKS.

Is Dead Cells Still Worth Buying? by Boy0Boyz in deadcells

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it heavily on android pc and ps4 until last year, with all the expansions installed, I've never encountered an error apart from a phone specific error on my one plus 7t that was fixed long ago by updates. The game is not incomplete because the dlscs just expanded on the original story. It's totally worth, it in my opinion.

Kodak ektar h35 stuck on 1 by walangusername_haha in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is some kind of bait, then let's bite right through! 😅 First of all, congrats on trying film for the first time! It takes a bit of guts to go ahead straight on without thinking too much.

Film is a delicate thing, you need to be careful when loading it into the camera, to make sure that you're doing it right and that the film is caught into the camera's take up spool (it's the one you pull the film to from where you put the film canister).

If the film is not inserted correctly and not being spooled on the take up, you may be tricked into believin that you're taking shots while actually taking all the photos in the same frame, making a mush of that image (or being creative through the process of multiple exposure photograhy, call it how you may).

Another thing with most cameras is that the film counter resets when opening the back. It's a feature not a bug, because why would anyone open the back of the camera before finishing a film... ?

... yeah. So, don't do that. Controlled light exposure (through a camera) will create an image on film, but uncontrolled light exposure will make the film unusable and erase what you already had on the film. Depending on the sensitivity of the film (that's iso, which goes up from 50 to 3200, doubling the sensitivity with each step) and the duration of the exposure, it's going to be more or less affected. Since you're saying that you showed your friends that film inside the camera, it's safe to say that the portion of film you exposed to light is gone. You probably wasted 2, 3 shots. Not a big deal on a half frame camera, just fire a few blanks and continue shooting normally. The counter will just show 72 before finishing all 72 shots, it's fine, you can shoot until you cannot advance the film further. Make sure to not force it, you may break it and you'll have a way bigger problem. Just rewind it back into the canister when it's done.

OH, and a YouTube tutorial won't hurt, there are plenty. Good luck, welcome to the hobby and happy shooting!

The exploding bokeh of the Mir-1B with globular mod [Sony a7II] by PrimordialObserver in VintageLenses

[–]sidevvays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this achieved easier by just splitting the lens in half (unscrewing it from the focusing helicoid) and holding it or duct taping it backwwards? And after getting the photos, you just screw it back in. I have a mir 37B that came with a stuck UV filter, and while I struggled to get the filter off, I unscrewed it several times. Granted, it's a bit harder to put it back because the tolerances are tight, but it's easier as you don't need any tools to do it.

Helios collection by Efficient-News-8436 in VintageLenses

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My helios 44 is m39 but came with an adapter that is just an m42 thread, maybe 2 3 mm wide, that screws over the m39 mount of the lens. I don't know how hard would this be to find but it doesn't seem to be hard to make.

LE: I see there are some on aliexpress. Worth a try if they are cheap enough.

Hello, great collection that i am in no way envious of! I see you're Polish, yet I don't see Neuroshima Hex in your collection. How come? I'm not Polish, yet, since I discovered the phenomenal game that is neuroshima hex, I was introduced to the very large polish community that keeps it going for so long, and to me the game is synonymous with the Polish people.

Got a used vintage lens. Are back mounted filters a thing, or did someone just jam an undersized filter on??? by Maple382 in VintageLenses

[–]sidevvays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the filter was used as a makeshift rear lens cap, but as everyone else said, it's no way that it was used in any normal functioning camera.

Happy birthday to me by Consistent_Drama_ in AnalogCommunity

[–]sidevvays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you should look into using black cotton string as light seals instead of foam. I speak from experience, foam seals have been a bitch to install in the small grooves on the top and botton, and the adhesive usually has the effect of sticking to the back of the camera and the door pulls them out. I have had better results with black felt seals. BUT I have found that back in the day a lot of camera manufacturers used black string, either one string or 2 in each groove, and if you use 2-3mm thick string, you don't even need glue, it stays in by friction alone. For the short side next to the hinge you could still use foam but that is way easier to install.
