That there is some serious professional photographer pose. It's as if you know what you are doing.



Often we see people holding the cameras by the edges with just the tips of their fingers, apparently afraid they're going to crush it.
Plus I'm not walking two dogs with their own idea of which way they want to go.

Mamiya C330 with Portra 400 (at EI 320). I used an incident meter on the sunlit side of his face to set my exposure, but still managed to blow out highlights.

Have you checked your shutter speeds for accuracy? I've had a few old cameras where the top speeds were slow. If you can keep the shutter open and look through the open back/lens, you can check them with a digital camera. Find detailed instructions online.

Thanks, I should! This was at 1/125, though, which is my most-used speed on that lens and all my other photos have come out fine. I think this was just a tricky set of shots to meter; it was alternating sun and cloud and I probably took my reading when the sun was partially covered with cloud and then it cleared up but I didn't notice the change. I also probably should have metered off his white shirt rather than his face, but then I'd worry that his face might be too dark.

A hotel restaurant. Contax 645 + 45mm + Portra 400. My least favorite thing about the Contax 645 is the inability to turn off the data imprinting. But then again it's also nice to be able to look back and see how I shot the scene and with what lens. For instance on these I can see I shot it at +1.7 stops.

I love all these images, and surely would enjoy the experience of shooting film images with Leica gear. But aside from cost of film and developing, I think I'd miss the immediate gratification I get from viewing digital images as soon as I want after shooting. Do the film shooters ever have those feelings, and do they also shoot digital?

“Absence makes the heart grow fond” I think relates to the experience of waiting for the lab! And getting the email with the scans is quite a thrill.
If you shoot B&W and self develop (easy), then you’ll have your photos the same day, so it’s not too bad.

can you explain this more to me? Do you first get the color prints, and then after, send them somewhere for scanning? Is there a not too expensive solution for home scanning? Also, where do you send your color rolls for developing/printing, and what's cost for say a 36 image roll and the turn around time?

I'm almost afraid to hear your answers as they could very well push me into getting another Leica cam like I need a hole in the head - M6?

Oh and years ago when I shot Tri-X on my Canon AE1, yes it was a fairly simple task to develop, although I never tried printing.

There are a lot of different options for a hybrid film/digital workflow these days:

Pay a lab to do everything - develop, scan, print

Lab develop, scan yourself with a scanner or a digital camera (lots of info about this in some of the other threads on this board and elsewhere online, cost varies depending on the specific tools you buy, but easy to keep it relatively inexpensive if you want) - this is what I do (digital camera for scanning), and I end up paying about $15-20 per roll, including the cost of the film

Develop and scan yourself - chemicals/kits are available for B&W, C-41 and E-6

Prints can be made from digital files, or if you have access to a darkroom, the old fashioned way

Converting raw scans from a digital camera requires some post processing, Negative Lab Pro (LR plugin) is the most popular option, but there are a number of others or you can do it all manually in PS or the editor of your choice. Scanners will usually include software for converting negatives.

I'm lucky enough to have two labs locally. Turnaround is 1-2 days during the week, plenty fast enough for me.
