Does anyone use 35mm

Also found a camera. Can you even get film for these anymore and get it developed? I found my old Pentax K in a drawer the other day. I left it there. They've come back in a big way. I played with my old Canon a few years ago. Black and White. Damn it cost a lot to develop. My parents still use one. Can't find film for them locally anymore so I have to order it online for them and mail in for processing.

My brother is into vintage cameras. I don't really pay attention but I think he has ones that are over 50 years old. Maybe even pre WW2 ones. I have a photog friend who does, he enjoys developing his own film.

Still uses digital when he has a gig. I shoot lots of 35mm film. Quote History. Quoted: They've come back in a big way. All the camera anyone ever needs Attached File.

My daughter used it in her highschool photog class. I have two Cannon F1 with motor drives and all kinds of assorted sitting in a closet. I have my Dad's old one. Been years since its taken a picture.

Some hardcore photogs still do. They're generally the "artsy" type that are shooting very controlled compositions that are "art" and doing stupid big prints for gallery's and whatnot. Any serious working photographer understands the importance of digital photography to their bottom line.

Still got my Nikon FM2, not planning on selling it. Still a few things it can do that my point-and-shoot Fuji digital can't, but not bloody much. Haven't exposed film in years. I have a couple rolls of film in my shop. Yep just got back a roll of film I ran through my dads cannon demi ee17 half frame he used in Vietnam. First roll through it in 50yrs. Still takes great pics! Quoted: F4. Quoted: I have two Cannon F1 with motor drives and all kinds of assorted sitting in a closet.

When we switched over to digital we havnt turned back. We put our 35mm. Nikons and medium format Hassealblads on display in our photgraphy room. I dont use film cameras any more. There was a time when I had Nikons in 35mm Hasselblads and Mamiyas in medium format and the ability to develop and print both color and black and white and way too much money tied up in pro photo stuff then digital destroyed that investment.

I realized its never coming back because of the chemistry involved, and the fact that digital gives instant results. This non-digital Robert Capa image defies every notion of modern-day digital 'quality', as does the non-digital images being captured today by Benjamin MacMaster, or the non-digital fashion images of Tom Mitchell, just to name a few. It is true that great images were made in the past on 35mm film. But in the areas of photographic quality, they are inferior to what you can do with current digital cameras.

The images you posted have not benefited from the properties of 35mm film; they are good despite the limitations of 35mm film. Is it worth the hefty price tag?

Incredible images! It's about as good as digital point and shoot. For stuff that actually needed good image quality, pros used 6X6 and 4X5. Leonard Migliore's gear list: Leonard Migliore's gear list.

One more thing: if you authentically want to pursuit film photography, then steer clear of Lomo cameras which produce those once-trendy but low-quality shots that took over Instagram a few years ago - the ones where colour bleeds into the edges of the frame. Lomo cameras have got nasty old plastic lenses, and produce imperfect pictures. I spent my life trying to avoid taking shots like that!

The aperture controls the light let through the lens, and the shutter speed decides how much light is allowed to reach the film. According to John, different shots require different combinations of the two. If you're photographing landscape, you'll rely on the aperture, and then compensate with a light shutter speed.

Aperture settings are generally set on a ring around the camera lens, while shutter speeds can be found on the top plate dial the opposite is the case in digital photography. The best results will come from experimenting with your camera, and finding what settings work for you. With that in mind, it's probably best to use the shoot with the same film to begin with. Different brands offer different results, and you'll find it harder to analyse and adapt your approach if there are too many variables at play.

Start off with cheaper film and move up the ladder as your progress. There are companies which still specialise in the chemistry, too. We used to black out the downstairs toilet, so that nobody could get in.

There are also a lot of programs that will allow you to digitalise your processed negatives without a dark room. Digital scanners are available, to save you a lot of hassle. It even features a high-def built-in colour display.
