why is it nearly impossible to actually buy a film these days. i don’t want to pay for a whole fucking streaming service, i want to watch one (1) film
Got a print of this one made. It looks great!
claire@protosphere.me · 5d agoTeatime at the Windmill Nikon F5 • Irix Firefly 15mm f/2.4 • Kodak Portra 800 Sat here and chatted with the molenaar (miller I guess?) for an hour and a half over tea, about the history of the mill and other random shit. Lots of fun and interesting stories. #believeinfilm

Shot some film over lunch for the first time in like a month today and got yelled at for having a camera
folks I got all the cables for it today and I would like to announce that I have a working Imacon Flextight III
Just got the camera back from service and immediately jammed it in the same way while testing functionality 🫡
claire@protosphere.me · 10mo agoGot it unjammed. Folks, don’t play around with the T setting on the shutter before reading the manual. You can break your camera.
repair quote for the copal 3 is more than what another shutter is worth, wonder if i should just count my losses…
FIRST TEST OF DA DIGITAL RANGEFINDER. IN 645 FLAVOR. IT KINDA SLAPS. i mean not literally cause its not a mirrored device shhh. its: very heavy. i probably need a better grip for it. but its also very fun. :)
perhaps against the best interests of my wallet, i have found a place that does mail-in 8x10 dev for the same price that i’ve been paying for 4x5
I am considering either getting an analogue Leica M again or getting into 8x10". But for 8x10", I need to figure out something for developing and printing myself (probably some sort of darkroom I can hire out, since I can't do it at home. Yes I know it's possible, but it doesn't work out in my case)
Self-portrait on the Hasselblad 500C + Leaf Aptus 22, tethered via FireWire to an old MacBook Pro.
The Leica I model B is off for a CLA 🫡. Lens is pretty hazy and I figure the nearly 100-year-old Compur shutter could use a service too. And such a nice camera deserves to be in top condition mechanically imo.
to paraphrase a conversation i was having elsewhere: how the fuck do you get better at making art like i can operate nearly any contraption with some level of competence by now but my photos are still shit
oh hell yeah, i just got the negatives back and it’s fully functional!!
