One thing I think you forgot to mention was the film stock you prefer for these Point and shoots... The film itself makes a huge difference in the feel and vibe of the photo... I'm a big fan of portra 160 for everyday photos in my film cameras
@SamuelElkinsPhoto2 жыл бұрын
I’m always using a mix of Portra 400,800 color plus and Kodak gold, also hp5 is my favorite BW stock for 35mm!

I’m making a mental note to myself to shoot a bit more film, with digital compacts , I have a Canon G7x and the great quality of phones (iPhone 13) being so good it’s easy to get lazy and use those. I’ve a couple of the original Contax T , the one with the fold down front, manual rangefinder focusing and manual film advance, and a T3, and your images are a good reminder as to why they should get more use. Same with an Olympus OM2 that my late father bought for me. You’ve kick started my interest , thanks

I’ve been craving a Point and Shoot because of that reason specifically. This video literally spoke towards my thoughts! Specifically for your silhouettes are those captured with the cameras focusing on the background? Not sure if you can speak toward which camera captured those. But my biggest frustration lately with those I have purchased have been the inconsistency of capturing all moments has me still shopping for the perfect one

I really Leo the idea of an point and shoot tbh. Got my fuji Xt-30 to be able to take a camera with me more often but I noticed most of the times I do not take it with me. Maybe a point and shoot will do the trick. Certainly the Contax T series has the highest appeal to me but damn they're expensive!
@benmcmanus41542 жыл бұрын
Thinking of getting a Sony zv1 for everyday stills like this, but also for the option of good videos without needing extra equipment. I think it's about half the price of a contax, do you think it's a good point and shoot camera?

Nice video. Subbed. Scans: My photo 'lab' does a relatively simple scan-probably not much better than I could do with a little elbow grease. Do you think these very basic scans increase the grain or decrease the potential quality of the images? How do your negatives get scanned? I use a Minox 35 GL 35.
