Instant film is pure shit. The reason why it is so expensive is due there only being 2 producers of the film. Shits not worth it senpai
My tip for getting into is to manage your expectations. And ask yourself why you are interested.
Many shots will be garbage. The film is expensive and the cameras aren't very good. But it has a certain appeal I can't put my finger on.
I think the instant, physical nature of the format makes the images seem more real to people who are used to digital photos.
What is complicated about it though, what are you struggling with?

Well, at least it's better than m43.

Hello /p/

No, they don't steal copyright, it's the same as with any other website that lets you host pictures. It might only become a problem if a client wants EXCLUSIVE USE of a picture you uploaded to one of those sites already. Since you already granted a license to 500px to display that image any other licenses can't be exclusive anymore.
The consequence is that you have to clarify this in the contract before you promise EXCLUSIVE USE to someone (which you can't). It's a technicality that will...

What's /p/'s favorite film?
I'm relatively new to b&w film and I've been shooting with tri-x 400 for quite some time now. I'm looking to get into some finer grain films such as the ones pictured here.
My new test subjects.
Can't wait to try all the tasty flavors!

ilford is pretty expensive on amazon, do you know a place where I could cop a few rolls for cheap?
Velvia. I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass to get processed these days.
I just got a new (to me) MF camera, can't wait to go pick up some film and shoot it, and then figure out how the fuck I'm gonna scan it.

What does /p/ think of these guys. Anyone listen to the podcast?
>>2776630
Podcasts are stupid.
>>2776630
I would sometimes listen to it while working.
Okay background noise, pretty comfy to hear people passionate about film photography, even if I never really picked up much substantial.
>>2776630
They're kind of interesting but I wish they'd do it all on video. I don't want to listen to people talk about photos, I want to see them.
I had the opportunity to get two old lenses, a 50mm 1.4 Zeiss planar and a 35mm 1.4 distagon, I mostly do videos but I also like to fuck around with photos, mostly street photography kind of stuff
Do you have any good tips to not get out of focus images all the time when you want to stay below f5.6 and you're shooting strangers that may not be very happy about your hobby? Are experienced photographers and focus pullers from the past able to detect the right distance/position "instinctively" without even looking at the viewfinder? I know it's written...

Great lenses, OP. First focus your lens, then record the video. If your camera has no EVF, a camera LCD hood would be helpful.

I have a t2i/550d and I very recently bought an a7s, so both digital, but I was also interested in how people with analog cameras cope with this problem.
>>2778471
Thanks, the 35mm is heavy as fuck though, I'll probably end up selling it for something more practical. I don't have big problems with focusing while taking videos because I usually know where I'm going with the camera during the shot and I still can fix it while recording (also follow...

As a big Chinaboo (having been to China several times and having a pure Han qt3.14 waifu) I am pretty excited about the Huawei and Leica partnership.
I have been using a Xiaomi phone for a few years (lower quality than Huawei) and it is pretty great and cost 1/5th the amount of an iPhone or Samshit. Huawei makes even better phones, I hope the partnership will help them in the international market, it will surely help them in China.
I was reading the wikipedia page on latent images, and saw that if you over expose film (they say 24 stops), it will form an image on the film without any processing.

So, I put a sheet of 100 ISO film in the 4x5 & shot a 3 hour exposure during the middle of the day, and scanned the sheet of film (no processing), and got this.
>>2768344
With a little bit of levels adjustment I got this.
Anyone ever experimented with generating an image in this way?
