A subreddit for lovers of analog photography. Share your film photographs and discuss anything analog!
Rules - View in more detail
1) Photo posts must include the film stock, lens, and camera used in the post title. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Nikon F3, 50mm f/1.8, Unknown Film], or use [Found Film] for auction/thrift store finds, family photos, and so on.
2) A maximum of 1 photo post can be shared per day. You may submit multiple images at once in an album, which counts as a single photo post.
3) No gear/film cache posts, these should go in /r/AnalogCommunity
4) No trading or selling. If you want to do this, please use dedicated communities such as /r/photomarket.
5) Flair NSFW posts e.g. nudity, gore, sex
6) Constructive criticism of photos is always welcomed here, but personal attacks, brigading, soap-boxing, disrespectful or marginalising the work or its subject are unacceptable.
6a) Comments complaining about the existence of NSFW posts in a NSFW flaired post are subject to removal, with possible grounds for a ban. This applies to sexualised comments including innuendo. Disable NSFW posts in reddit settings if you do not want them in your feed.
6b) Bullying users by following them around the subreddit and harassing them will get your comment removed with possible grounds for a ban.
7) No photos that are digital in origin. Post-processing work is perfectly fine; however, extensive manipulation should be disclosed in the comments.
8) You must own or have license for images you submit. With image(s) you did not personally take, include the source in the topic title, or a comment if too long for a title.
9) Do not include social media, website, or crowdfunding links in titles or top-level comments. If someone asks for a link then you can respond to that. Please submit promo links to the Self Promotion thread.
10) Flair your posts when possible e.g. “Critique Wanted” when specifically wanting critique, “Help Wanted” for questions, etc. Personal subreddit flair can be used for instagram handles, flickr links, etc.

Hi everyone! Took this shot back in the summer, I'm very happy about it (wasn't easy to focus) but I'd like to ear advice on how to improve. Thanks!

Fugus in rangefinder?
Recently purchased an Olympus SP off eBay and I noticed some stuff in the rangefinder that is concerning. I think it’s fungus? The light meter reading is also hard to see and i think that is connected to the potential fungus. My initial thought is to return it, but wanted some feedback first. Thanks!

I am very new to analogue having grown up with disposables and then quickly digital and then camera phones! In short I have no idea on basics let alone theory and practical applications behind lighting etc and I am wondering if anyone could help me understand a few key things to pick up a new hobby! I have bought the above camera and just want some pointers.

Studio Session - Testing of Flash Set-Up
I am planning a studio session for some portraits with friends and have rented a (semi-) professional studio. Now I wonder if there is any recommendation for a cheap digital camera (ideally) Nikon that is capable of testing the lighting set-up and flash settings before switching to my Nikon N80/F80 film set-up
(I know, go to hell for mentioning digital, but help would be kindly appreciated)
