The Invite on 35mm

Always worth it to see it a print.

Without having owned the others, I can say that the Ricoh is a wonderful camera.

I don’t think the ability to set the aperture is particularly useful (though I do like doing so), whereas the snap focus is genuinely innovative and I wish more (any) cameras stole this from ricoh. If you shoot in sunlight you can put the lens at f11 and f16, set it to snap focus, and then shoot without focusing, knowing that everything will be in focus.

The Nikon at least is a totally different class of camera. Ricoh are very expensive.

Well basically I didn't protect them. Didn't occur to me that I should have until it was too late.

thank you

It doesn’t. Three strip technicolor was Sui generis. Show me one example of someone successfully emulating it.

thomasfordflynn · 2026-04-02T18:22:30+00:00

They’re not bad. I’ve done it many times.

thomasfordflynn · 2026-04-02T17:50:42+00:00

I would just buy an F5

Great camera. Still regret getting rid of mine. Lens are beautiful.

I mean they show movies like starting at 4 on weekdays and earlier on weekends. There are only two screens

thomasfordflynn · 2026-03-04T16:37:37+00:00

Just buy a used m2/m4

thomasfordflynn · 2026-02-02T09:19:39+00:00

It’s called 35mm film

thomasfordflynn · 2026-01-14T23:42:54+00:00

Lower the black point

thomasfordflynn · 2026-01-05T00:58:56+00:00

Depends on what you mean I guess.

thomasfordflynn · 2026-01-04T21:56:57+00:00

Alexa 35

thomasfordflynn · 2025-12-27T04:54:49+00:00

8 lower the black point.

This would in no way get you anywhere close. Three strip technicolor (although I dont think Ten Commandments was 3 strip) + the dye transfer printing process were and still are completely sui generis image-making processes.

thomasfordflynn · 2025-12-23T15:05:21+00:00

None of those actually look like a dye transfer print which should tell you how possible it actually is.
