The Film Thread (Red Ring not Required) A place for Analog Photography Nuts to Talk

The P30 is a decent camera. My only concern especially for a student is that it reads the film ISO off the canister and does not allow you to tell the camera that there is something different loaded. This make push/pull shooting a little less convenient since you have to shoot in manual and remember to offset the eposure.

Well it seems i didn't buy the camera since the person with it never showed up to sell it.

Is there a particular one you would suggest for a High school student?

35mm film cameras are really cheap these days. I bought a Canon EOS Elan 7N brand new for less than $100 off ebay and am very happy with it.

But you need to take lenses into account. I would stay away from the EOS line if you don't own any modern Canon lenses.

I wouldn't let that stop me, that's what adapters are for.

Sorry i don't have any camera lenses. I was just looking for something decent for my brother to use in his HS photo class.

if you don't mind getting it shipped to you...

you can find plenty of beginner SLR's for under $30. they come with KEH's 6 month warranty too. also a huge selection of lenses.

I would find a Canon AE-1 with a 50mm 1.8. Great starting set up, ability for full manual and shutter priority.

Hey thanks for the website. No i don't have any problems with waiting on shipping.
Awesome they even have the Olympus OM2N. I love the look of that camera.

Just got gifted 4 rolls of Ilford HP5 ISO 100 film and a Holga camera. Shot 1/2 a roll in each camera.

I'm considering getting some hardcover portfolios made. I might do a collection of film and a collection of digital work, each in it's own album. What do y'all think?

HP5 is ISO 400. I hope you shot it right!

Delta, sorry!

I always get the two mixed up.

i know this is mostly canon forum but i thought i'd try...

So i recently picked up a nikkormat w/ 50 1.4 for a pretty good price. there's only 2 problems:

1) I can only change the aperture from 16-11. nothing higher.
2) the lens won't come off.

I don't mind the lens being stuck on the camera as i love 50mm focal length but how do i get the aperture to go higher?

all other functions on the camera work just fine. any help would be appreciated thanks!

As in larger/further open (lower f-stop)?

Hammer. Definitely hammer.

i mean how do i get a larger f stop (as in going from 16 to 1.4).

i've tried forcing it and it just won't come off. i think i know why since there is this pin that attaches to the silver thing on the very left as shown in this picture.
