cody and i have accepted the fact that of all "labels" we are probably the closest to hipsters.

6/5/2011 10:50:10 AM

DD needs to get his own jokes...i never thought i'd see myself quoted FROM facebook ON tww.

6/5/2011 12:52:23 PM

Are you freaking out?

6/5/2011 1:46:43 PM

i posted about this last night in the what are you thinking about thread and didn't get any bites. i really want a polaroid camera but one i can use obviously.

i read about them last night for like 2 hours AFTER i had taken sleeping pills and was reading with like one eye open.

anyway. what kind do i get? i mean they are for sale all over the place...craigslist, thrift stores, the flea market. i just want one that i can still find film for via ebay or whatever. i know project impossible also has film but i want the cheapest/most reasonable film and a polaroid < $50. not trying to modify it (unless it is a super easy modification) or get like a collector's camera. i just want one that works. do i need to get one that takes pack film? is that like the film that fujifilm still makes?

i just want to know what model to get that is < $50 and has film easily available via ebay or wherever else you procure film for these things.

i was thinking maybe Joie or d7freestyler could help a sister out.

the ones that are readily available seem to be the 600 series ones, the spectra series, and some hunter green one from like, the 90s. but i don't know all the film deets/drama.

6/23/2011 2:30:27 PM

600 series are readily available, that's what we have. spectras are pretty easy to come by too. just be ready to pony up for some film. if you want legit polaroid film it's running 30-50 dollars a pack (10 pics) on ebay since they quit making it. spectra film can be found for 25-40 dollars a pack on ebay. then there's the impossible project - $23-25 for 8 photos.

i'd recommend just getting a 35mm camera or 120 camera from a cost perspective and coolness factor. polaroids are cool, but you've got to know what you're getting into with the film costs.

*sorry it took so long to respond... didn't see this.

^he's right.
its totally worth it but be prepared to pay some monies!

9/10/2011 11:34:11 PM

Got the test roll of film back from my Ansco Memar today. A few of the shots turned out pretty cool. I'll scan some in and post tomorrow.

9/17/2011 11:53:28 PM

I should get back into this a bit. i have a bunch of film just sitting around i need to use. and 3 slrs just sitting here collecting dust.

9/18/2011 12:05:12 AM

Well, before I shot my first test roll I didn't know the Memar had estimated focusing, so I thought the focus was broken. You have to estimate shutter speed (which only goes from 1/25s to 1/200s) and aperture (f/2.8-f/16) too which wasn't bad. So most of my pictures ended up out of focus, but a few were really cool.



Pretty cool for a camera made somewhere between '53 and '58.

Here's another:

9/18/2011 1:26:33 PM

A couple more from the Memar...

9/19/2011 11:49:13 PM

From the second roll from the Memar... I actually knew how to focus this time, although it's still pretty difficult.

10/8/2011 8:21:13 PM

Holgas are hipster? That sucks, I've had one for several years now...at least I still hate trucker hats.

I have a roll of film from my Holga that has been sitting on my desk for about a year that needs to be sent in to be developed. I've totally forgotten what is on there. Does anyone else ever do this? I think it's kind of fun, never know what you are going to get back in the mail.

You took that picture at Neuschwanstein? I was there about a month ago. I have a very similar picture.

10/23/2011 3:33:27 PM

I like your film pics God.

That roll was a test one so I didn't do anything crazy that I'd regret losing. And it worked except I opened the back thinking it was rolled all the way and so therefore got the leak.

Any recs on a good negative scanner? Might get the bf one for christmas

10/23/2011 3:35:19 PM

10/23/2011 11:35:48 PM

From the first roll of film Joie developed. I just burned through a roll of Ilford HP5 with my Memar so she could try it out. More of these to come for sure...

Joie and JT

I'm game.

11/6/2011 7:19:06 PM

it's my booty!



taken with cods anslo memar with expired kodak tmy film

i was weary about developing expired film so we took it to wolf camera. (sent it off b/c not a t41 process)
although this next batch i think im gonna give it a whirl.

11/11/2011 9:27:07 AM

there's a medium format Zenza Bronica of some sort for $245 at my local camera store. If I get enough xmas cash I'm gonna treat m'self for sure.

12/23/2011 4:24:00 PM

Will you be treating yourself?

12/26/2011 5:50:54 PM

Yep I'm gonna swing by later today I think

12/27/2011 1:26:38 PM

Just got a buncha stuff developed. Now to steal my GF's scanner

3/22/2012 8:53:51 PM

ok i am really bad at scanning color negatives, but this is what i've come up with so far. a couple random shots of my gf and some skater kids:










oh and these are edited a bit. didn't read the first post until now.

I removed dust and toned them some. this is really close to what the scanner put out though with the scanner settings i was using.

I could edit them in a darkroom, so I can do it in Lightroom

I haven't had anything developed from the Zenza Bronica ETRS yet, my normal developing place won't do 120mm BW

I do have some Holga skate shots but I haven't figured out how to scan 120 yet.

How are you scanninin the sprockets?
I just a new scanner so I can scan in my medium format pics (before i had a true blue flim scanner that only dis alides and 35mm)....i am assuming I can just put the 35mm in the 120 frame to scan????

[Edited on April 24, 2012 at 10:21 AM. Reason : Damn phone]

4/24/2012 10:21:11 AM

I have tried scanning this with a cheap film scanner and with a little more quality flatbed scanner, and I was not happy with the results. IN fact, i was not happy with the scans that came from when i sent this out for developing. RVP is a slide film so i could look at the film itself and tell that the scanners were not getting what I was seeing. So I rigged up this contraption consisting of my 60D with 50 f/1.4, a few macro extension rings, an IKEA lamp, and a speedlite. I used the USB interface to trigger the camera and to adjust the flash output so I did not have to disturb the setup. I think the film itself is still more vibrant, but the results are much closer to what my eyes see.

oh wow.

thats AWESOME.

right now im working with a really nice film scanner and my new one just came in (i was a dummy when i ordered the first one.)

if i cant get the sprockets to work out i may be messaging you

[Edited on April 24, 2012 at 10:54 AM. Reason : i recently got a 35mm back for a 120 camera and it *should expose the whole film.even the sprockets!]

4/24/2012 10:52:22 AM

Cool pics. Wish I was good at this.

Just did my first b/w developing tonight. It was pretty fun. I'm stunned that the negatives came out so clearly. I was certain I'd fucked it up when I opened the canister before putting in the fixer. I eyeballed the measurements and times too, because I didn't have a graduated cylinder and was half paying attention.

5/2/2012 12:27:18 AM

This one came from that roll:

5/2/2012 6:17:13 PM

no one shoots film lol

5/3/2012 2:16:06 PM

my first attempt at exposing and scanning the sprockets.

i have quite a few bugs to work out but im getting there

[Edited on May 8, 2012 at 11:14 AM. Reason : in retrospect i should have pushed the film a stop or two in developing. oh well. ]
