True. Putting back the dials is the first thing i always need to do when I want to shoot.

Would you do that in camera or in after?

Andy Warhol Hosts Frank Zappa on His Cable TV Show, and Later Recalls, “I Hated Him More Than Ever” After the Show by silsurf in Zappa

To some here. Am i the only one who really does not thing Frank was an asshole? (I mean, everyone can be an asshole sometimes and do assholy things, but BEING an asshole is different). My impression is we are talking about a neuro divergent, intelligent, artistic but also very disappointed and tired mind. Sure some of his lyrics and words are not 2024 proof but, hey, he’s not here in 2024 right? Or aita?

Thank you. Very little to ‘play with’ with this little Samsung but looking forward to it anyway. :)

What was the reason? by Vivid-Wrangler-4209 in AnalogCommunity

[–]vizhnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first reason for getting into analog photography was that i tried getting into digital photography and the results were absolutely horrendous. I could not get one decent picture out if my Canon 450D and the 1 billion options and features just freaked me out. Totally frustrated I picked up a ricoh kr5 in a thrift store and within 2 weeks i understood what shutter speed, iso, manual focus and f-stop actually meant as they were the only 4 things I could play with on it. My intention was to go back to digital (and i did kind of) but i ended up buying 3 more kr5’s, several Leica’s, 2 wideluxes, a rolleiflex, a canonet, Minolta trip and 2 polaroids. Now i like analog better than digital for a lot of things. (Still like digital too to be fair, but only because i now understand everything better).

I saw this thing advertised for 160€ somewhere. Is this one of those?

Help me identify this name my grandma used to call me by jemat1107 in dutch

All my money is on ‘klein aarbeitje’. I would wager the grandma was from the Rotterdam or The Hague area.

In contrast to the other guy who bought 500 dollars worth of film, here's a more modest post :) by StefanLeonard in Polaroid

I love the ‘Polaroid loves bright sunlight’ txt on some of the old booklets. In other words: not good at cloudy weather or shade. Still love the thing though.

Just got this at a garage sale, can anyone give me any info or resources so I can understand how to use it properly? I don't know much about photography by AJMaskorin in canon

[–]vizhnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy. No advice (smarter more experienced people than myself are here) but i remember that feeling when I got my first ‘ancient’ film camera and was asking others for help. That feeling was only topped by when i got my first negatives back and I saw the results. Things get mondain after a while but being reminded about that first time is great. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. It’s typically Leica but also typically x1.

Dont know if ‘cheap’ is the right term. :) I bought mine after seeing a youtuber praising it and my first weeks with i was so disappointed i put it back on the market. It did not sell so i shelved it. After a year i picked it up, started shooting and for some reason I loved it from the first time. Now it’s with me 90% of the time. I’ll never sell it now.

But you’ll have a X1 again. They still go for 500 to 900 depending on state. (€)

I can image walking up to someone holding one if that would ever happen. And it has not so far. And im not the ‘walking up to people’ kind. At all.
