Colour filters with B&W film

Hi Simon, the info in itself is correct, using an orange filter would mean you have to compenate, however in case of using an slr which does the measuring trough the lens, this compensation is taken in consideration already, so there's no need to compensate anymore.

[Personal Blog] Inspired by a Kids 35mm Camera Photo Contest
Deleted user
01.12.21, 19:01
Several months ago, I took part in a kids camera challenge. The challenge consisted of locating a kids 35mm camera, take the entire roll of pictures, have the film developed within one week and submit these images to the judges. My images were overlooked by the judges. Since then I've wanted to try something differant.
Instead of using a kids Fujifilm waterproof camera, I've elected to try the Holga 120N Medium format plastic toy camera. Medium format is new to me and something I thought about getting into back in the 70's but never had the chance. My objective to test the modified Holga 120N camera along with my experimental polarizing filter. Finding out later, the 52mm lens ring fits over the existing Holga plastic lens. But over time, the filter mount kept falling off. I ended up making a small foil tab, bent over the lens ring that would apply just enough pressure to hold the generic filter mount in place.
Another add on, we had the shop creation a 3D printed shutter release mount. In conjunction with a $90.00 release cable (the most expensive thing about this entire outfit). The camera will be used strictly for long exposures. It's been difficult loading the film into the camera when a person like myself have arthritic hands. One thing I'd change about the Holga, I'd like to see a larger film advance knob.
Since getting the camera, I've used 11 rolls of film, My favorite is the Kodak Tri-x 400, but I also threw in the Ilford ISO 50 and one roll of Kodak Portra 160 just to get an idea of what to expect. At the end of this week, I'll finally have a chance to send at least 4 roll of the 120 film, and I'll make sure as to include the Ilford & Portra film. But will months of testing and shooting pay off or be a waste and a big disappointment. I wont know until the lab starts to develop something. However they have said that they will snip test the film before developing the entire roll.
I'm hoping to have something to show for my efforts very soon.

Canonet QL19 - help, tips&tricks
Dennis Veldman
25.03.08, 21:36
Hey guys.
New to this so go easy, I'm trying to repair a canonet ql19 newer version and need to know how to adjust the light meter as mine is under exposing by 3 stops. I have checked repair manuals and adjusted a variable resistor but I don't think that can do it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Seems to me that those are not damages to the negative, looks like a scan problem.

band proofs???
desertar
20.10.15, 00:56
Help message:
In order to auto-translate a paper about media archaeology and old photographic films, I'm desperately looking for the (apparently) impossible English version or English translation for
"PROVINI IN BANDA"
It indicates the practice of printing all the frames on a long photographic paper (like 3x54-inches for a 36 negative roll, for example) with the "enlargement" limited to about 3x4 inches (7x10cm) per photo.
I think the french translation, by instance, could be "bande de lecture" (a reading, a preview)...
small prints side by side like in contact sheets but a bit larger and on a single line, not cut into strips (as uncut could be the film, cause a special device could realize it without cutting the film).
So, like proofs "in band", in strips, on a single line, or whatever, but with no relation to music!
It seems impossible to find it on internet, until now, but I can't believe that this (not uncommon) Italian old labs practice doesn't exist elsewhere....
With enlarged gratitude for your future help,
Arianna

tri-x 400 dynamic range
Deleted user
19.04.15, 20:38
Hi.
I'm looking into shooting on film as I like the look and feel of it. So I bought a canon ae1 and a 50mm lens from ebay. Got a roll of tri-x400 film and just went out and shot the whole roll in one day. I dropped it off at a local foto store but was a bit disappointed when I got the developed and printed fotos back. Generally all shots are lacking contrast. Looking at it in photoshop the values are clipped at a dark grey and light grey. So no real whites and no real blacks. I used the zone system to expose my shots but accidentally got a few underexposed shots and even they are clipped at a dark grey.
I'd like to look into developing the film myself but just want to find out at which stage I made a mistake.
Am I exposing wrong? But even then whites and blacks shouldn't be clipped, right?
Did the photo store do something wrong? Looking at the negative, as far as I can tell the range looks quite all right, completely transparent and fully opaque.
Maybe the negatives got fogged?
Thanks for your help,
Fabian

"A little late"... :-)
My further possibility is that you or someone else clicked a couple of times with the lid on the objective.
Those shots received no light at all, and then you went on photographing regularly with the same film.

My father's Yashica Lynx 5000E
Royalrat
26.08.11, 22:31
It belongs to the Yashica Lynx series of cameras which are fixed lens, leaf shutter cameras made in the 1960s. It has built-in CDS cell light meter, full manual settings and Yashinon 5 elements 45mm f/1.8 lens, Yashica Copal-SV shutter with all speeds 1-1/1000, self-timer, and metal body. The viewing is very clear. It has coupled viewfinder / parallax corrected rangefinder. There is a bright frame which moves when the focus ring turned. Light meter readout is in the viewfinder, an electronic metering system that displays over and under indicators in the viewfinder instead of the meter needle.

Recommended Canon lenses for portrait, For many people, a good-looking portrait shot combines a flattering view of the subject against a blurred background. This is very easy to achieve with the right lens. The key behind a blurred background is having a lens with a small f-number, and the flattering perspective is down to a slightly magnified view. Lenses with small f-numbers also capture more light, which makes them ideal for shooting in low-light without a flash.

Agree with Jimmy here. The 7NE will go a long way with proper care. A customizable, (mirror lockup), well-built and outstanding film camera.
