i'm missing my medium format right now, but it was too fragile to lug over here and too big besides

The other way is to re-spool 120 film onto 620 spindles.

I just put $600 on my credit card for a Nikon Coolscan V, I'm so excited to finally get some of my images in Photoshop and on the web. I don't need more debt, but it's a great price for a 4000dpi film scanner.

As for point-and-shoot, I've always had good results with my old Olympus XA-2, which should be available secondhand for under $100. It replaced a much fancier late-80s AF-10, which is even easier to use.
This year might be the time I go digital too - I've been sorting out boxes of negatives this afternoon; 66 rolls of film have run through Pam's Canon FTb SLR in the last three years and a good 30-40% of the shots are inevitably just dross - that's £150 on developing prints that will never been shown to anyone. Our Kodak MC3's just a toy really and since her Ixus died we could do with a cheap, light p&s ourselves. So, yeah, 2004 recommendations plz.

As for my 30-40% figure - well, it's not like the rest are publishable or anything, they're just interesting enough to go in the albums. The 30-40% are underexposed, out-of-focus, compositionally dull, inferior near-duplicates, people looking their worst, badly framed, etc, etc. We don't snap-snap-snap away, we can't afford to.

(the main reason I want a Nikon is that eventually I want to get one of their digital SLR bodies too, and then use the same lenses for digital and film shooting. I also have a late-70s Pentax ME)

Does anyone else put all of their photos thru Auto-Contrast in Photoshop (or similar) before uploading? It's no real use on poorly lit shots tho - not from an Ixus 55 at least. I'd say it improves two thirds of the photos I take though.

yeah i shoot raw with mine, and flip around between the profiles in lightroom at the start of editing. then typically i either increase contrast/vibrance, or ease it back, and go from there.

Also using an OG X100, mostly when I’m out hillwalking, and think it’s great.

― stet, Friday, 24 September 2021 09:31 (two years ago) link
Good luck with naming the sixth model, Fuji. Agreed on Fuji profiles and JPGs. But I trust the metering on my Canons a bit more; the evaluative mode there is a bit better than Fuji’s centre-weighted average so I still err on the side of raw for post.
― Michael Jones, Friday, 24 September 2021 10:12 (two years ago) link
Well I said I ordered it, but I ended up canceling after realizing it was a gray market model. It seems to be out of stock everywhere, but still intend to buy one once they come in.

I just went through the same thing with the X100V (love it) and struck out on the usual/larger online retailers but found that if you looked for regional/local camera stores w/online presence (seemed mostly in NE for whatever reason) there were a few who had 'em stocked, YMMV

Just watched a video on the rangefinder style medium format Fuji, looks so fun (if you've got $4500+lens laying around). Also has a crop mode to match the Hasselblad XPan I would have died for 20 years ago.

Hired the Fuji GFX50S a few years ago for a (grey, wet) Easter weekend, with the 110/2.0 prime. It was pretty great, but a bit of a chunky beast. They seem to have streamlined the medium-format bodies.
My Bronica is still in the same place it's been for a couple of years, on a shelf. I really need to get back into it, with a drawer full of (expired) 120 film, but I say that every spring and... suddenly it's October.

Lovely stuff. Maybe I'll shoot at 24mm FF and crop everything to 2.71:1 for a while :)
The GFX was my first ever experience with an EVF, and it kind of spoils you for other lesser models. Wandering around looking at the world with an Acros filter was nice.

The light was fantastic today in London when the sun was out: everything crisp and clear, and trees and foliage drenched with light as if illuminated specifically for photographers. I took my EOS 5D out for the first time in quite a while, and the colours were fantastic. I particular like the way bright colours - such as red and orange - seem to almost pop out of photographs. For example a red and white polka dot blouse against a background of green foliage and a bright orange Vespa against grey brickwork. What a camera!
