>Recommendations/tips for getting into it
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.

I'm more into landscapes than portraits but fuck if it isn't a lot easier to pull a half decent shot of a person out your ass.
Hello /p/
I have been reading that some people are butthurt about 500px using peoples photos without permission.
I have read everything from "oh we just use it for internal marketing" to "ARAHHH THEY OWN EVERYTHING"
So please, if you will redpill me and recommend alternatives

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 never pose a problem you can't work out.
I now regret selling my Leica lenses

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!

Been shooting mostly ilford, tried some tri-x, I liked it a little better for my taste but honestly there really isn't a difference
Don't know about tmax but I haven't heard anything that good about it
>>2776377
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.

Yes. I still laugh when Kai made a little joke in a review about that. Matt took it seriously and said something back in the comments. He can't handle the bantz
>m...muh waifu said
its been a little while but i got some new shit for ya guys.
Im really trying to do something different. I've got a few in here that i think are very iffy, so please by all means give me some constructive criticism
That, or tell me which ones you think are horse shit, either way itll help a bit.

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 on the fucking ring but it seems very difficult to do it using only my eyes. I wonder if there are laser systems that tell you the right distance lol.
I suppose the average reply will be "get gud" but maybe there is something helpful that I don't know.
>>2778461
What camera are you using?
>>2778461
Great lenses, OP. First focus your lens, then record the video. If your camera has no EVF, a camera LCD hood would be helpful.
>>2778468
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 focus helps a lot), but taking photos of moving subjects in focus is a lot harder. My camera does have an EVF and it helps a lot. The LCD helps too because it can be moved on the horizontal plane and it makes everything more "stealthy".
Yeah the fact that I'm a bit shy doesn't help at all. For some reason walking around with a shoulder rig and an actor in front of other people is not a problem but taking random photos makes me fucking nervous and I end up not taking enough time for focusing, I suppose it's because I'm not confident enough with stills

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?

I think what this guy does might be a little similar:

The strategic alliance between Huawei and Leica Camera demonstrates the desire of two rapidly growing and globally active brands to continuously push the envelope of the technologically possible. In addition to innovative strength and premium standards, our two companies are united by the commitment to uncompromising quality. The technology partnership with Huawei offers Leica Camera an excellent opportunity to introduce its proven optical expertise into a new product segment and to unlock exciting business areas in the field of mobile devices. Smartphones make a very important contribution to the world of photography and open an important door for Leica to new target groups and fields of application.
