Growing up in China I'm pretty sure most of the photo of me taken by my dad was on Lucky films:) Lucky was the mass market alternative to the more expensive Kodak and Fuji.
I made a big film order but was notified they were out-of-stock. That was about a year ago . . . Polaroid is still AWOL and Impossible went out of business. Subject matter is critical. Soft lit average light scenes work well. But your sample shots of neon lit signs were excellent examples.
The facts are... Many examples haven't been operated for years ______yet will work fine ! I used to sit pressing the shutter and winding on. People do that and never put a roll through. They cosset their camera But it's good to keep operating the camera constantly! However until you put a film in and start shooting _____you are not a photographer obviously
I was gonna go with retrospekt on fixing up my sx-70’s but after hearing mixed reviews, I decided to keep digging. I’m glad I found you guys, it seems like a lovely team you have and I’m looking forward to getting my cameras fixed up!
Just got my first film camera the Pentax K1000! I have never shot film before so I was wondering, can I switch out different lenses on the camera while there is some unused film in it, or will that ruin the roll?
You probably know the answer by now, but for anyone looking through the comments you absolutely can swap out the lens with film inside because the shutter is closed protecting the film
is it possible that the camera you shot the lomo800 in has a problem wit shutter capping? and that is why the lomo 800 looks so diffrent to the portra and aurora?
I see film for my 640 camera advertised on Ebay with very old expiration dates--sometimes 20 years back or more. Is this film reliably functional? If not, why would anybody buy it? How much past the expiration date can one safely go?
