Both were pretty filthy with completely degraded mirror bumper foam. Tested all the functions, no shutter capping, speeds are good. It’s amazing how durable these pro Nikons are, incredible cameras.

These two are going to be my daily users from here on out, they’re nothing special collectibility wise but they’re clean and solid as a rock.

I've been digging up my older cameras lately and have had successes with them, zero problems whatsoever, until now.

Today I decided to grab some batteries and go for a round with my "old" Canon Ti again.

This little guy is the only one I have sort of ignored for awhile, but why? It's a snappy little camera that was bridging the gap between analog and digital back in the early 2000s.

Unfortunately the AF is working, but not. The camera says the AF is working and confirms that it has achieved focus, but it's just slightly not in focus. I doubted my own eyesight first, but had my husband try it out and he agrees that the focus just isn't quite there. I have tried other tested and true lenses on it, and it's the same across the board.

I have tried looking up autofocus issues online, and most solutions are focused on the lens itself, but I think it's a camera issue. Has anyone else experienced this? I truly doubt that there's a repair place in my city who would know what to do with it, so if anyone has any easy suggestions or settings that I've maybe missed that I could try at home it would be much appreciated 🤗

I tried posting this on AskEurope but it’s been a whole day & they haven’t mod approved it yet, I also am very active in this subreddit & everyone is really helpful & nice here so thought I’d just ask here then 🤷‍♂️

I’m looking for courses/workshops in EU for 35mm film and/or 120 film photography, from basics to learning to develop negatives, a course which you do not need any specific previous education, no specific school level accomplished. A course that you get a diploma for (obviously not like a college diploma but a certificate of education in this course) & for it to be held in English!

Thank you I’m advance!

This is just fabulous!

Bought a box of expired flims- a few am familiar with and the rest can easily get data from the community/net, apart from these. Bi LO flim 400 for 35mm.

From the two packs sold at DM in Germany

About to purchase a macro lens for my scanning set up after realizing my chromebook will not run the proper software needed for a plustek or epson. I found this lens on ebay, now I'm not super familiar with lens etc. Will this be a good macro lens for scanning at home?

Hey Analog Community,

I was recently gifted a Nikon FG and tried to use it but there seems to be a problem with the mirror. I already tried looking up the problem but couldn't find any answers.

I put in two new LR44 batteries (in the correct orientation). I used the M90 mode to advance past the first picture, and then I tried to take a picture with a shutter speed (like 1/125) selected. The meter in the viewfinder works correctly, reacts to light, shutter and aperture changes. Once I press the shutter release I can hear the shutter (I think), but the mirror stays in the up position until I go into M90 or bulb.
What could be my problem here? It can't be the battery like in many other forum posts on the internet as the meter is working fine.

Thank you so much in advance to any ides on how to fix this, I would love to be able to use this camera.

I finally found a 6x6 with a waist level viewfinder for a normal price, I’m asking for general tips & then I’ve got some questions. There isn’t too much on this camera online, there’s no manual but from what I read it does have manual shutter & aperture (which I want) but I can’t seem to figure out if it has & if so how to use manual focus?

Whenever I develop color film, whether it is C-41 or E-6, I try to develop as much in bulk as in possible, meaning I have 12-16 films I have shot and I develop shortly after one another.

However, the documentation on the chemistry I use says, that they don’t advise developing more than 2 films at once to avoid the films to affect the development of the others. How much does this hold true?

I am looking to speed up my developments, in which I would develop 4 films at once in 1 tank to save some time. Is it feasible?

Hey guys, got a few rolls of 517 recently, the official datasheet only has times for shooting it at 50 iso unfortunately, has anyone tried developing it at 200 iso with ilfrasol 3?

I came across a Lubitel 166+ Universal going for ~50 USD (currency converted), and was wondering whether it’s any good? Is it cheap because it’s hard to repair, easy to break, hard to used, outright scam, all of the above?? If it’s good value for this price, what would be something worth noting in regards to this model? Any specific configuration to avoid, easy-to-break parts to check before I buy, etc.?

Thanks in advance

Curious if anyone here has seen another black body zorki 3c. Wondering if it is worth the pick up from fb marketplace place for $100. Can’t seem to find any photos of one online. Seems like a fun range finder to shoot with.

A few weeks ago I kind of out of the blue got this R6.2, although without a lens. Initially I didn't think much of it. Last time I touched an R Leica was around 1980 on a Photokina in Cologne when the R4 was introduced.

Last week I finally bought a 90mm. So yesterday I took it to an extended photo walk and I am thoroughly impressed. While I obviously can't say anything about the picture results the overall shooting experience was astonishingly nice. The camera has a reassuring weight and heft, but most of all it felt very smooth and refined. It oozed mechanical precision at every point, be it the advance lever, shutter release button, shutter speed dial or return knob. In all of these points it reminded me of my trusty M3 and that's definitely the biggest compliments I have to give to a camera.

I have an electro 35 and I sent it to get CLA only 6 months ago but there seems to be some water damage on it. I don’t remember spilling water on it but anyways im not sure who can repair an electro 35.

Does anyone know someone who can repair an electro 35?

The guy on etsy who CLA my electro doesn’t do CLA anymore

I have a yashica gsn camera and the electronics stopped working recently, I chaged the battery and they still dont work so I will be needing to send it to someone to get it fixed (if you guys know anyone lmk)

Anyway there about 10 pictures left in the roll that was/is inside the camera when the electronics stopped working. I want to finish the roll so I can send the pics to get developed before I send the camera somewhere to get it fixed.

I read this camera default shutter speed in 1/500. How do I take pictures on it? I cant find any info of people going in depth about how to take pictures with the yashica when the electronics dont work.

Hi there, I'm having issues with my Pentax 645 where the motor keeps winding but it's not advancing the film to the first frame. When I take the back/insert the gears seems to spin and stop as they should, the problem really comes up when I load film on the insert and doesn't seem to properly advance the film to the first frame and just keeps going and going.

Has anyone had the same issue before and knows of a solution?

Hello guys, I was gifted an M42 lens recently and now I'm looking for a camera body to use it with.

The lens was in silver matte finish so I'm looking for one with silver variants and preferraly fully manual. I live in Asia so I think it affects which is easier to get and whatnot. Please share me your best picks for a reliable camera, many thanks!

hey guys. I have an Olympus Accura Zoom XB700 and it simply doesn't wind the film. When I press the automatic rewind button I hear the sound of the motor. When I put the film in, it doesn't pull the film. I tested it with a multimeter and it is energizing the components. Could you help me understand what is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks to Trump's tariffs, Canada has responded with a 25% tariffs on American goods. Since most film today comes from Kodak, still manufacturing in the US, that means that includes negative (and positive) film.

Yeah! Trade war WOOT! /sarcasm

Damn it.

Sorry, had to blow some steam.

Mods, sorry if inappropriate, feel free to remove at will, and I apologize if it's not the kind of post you want on this sub.

Local shoppe has decided to no longer sleeve developed film. They just leave it in the spool and can it arrived in. That’s a whole separate bone to pick with them but my issue is how tight the developed stuff is rolling up when I cut it to sleeve it. Is there anything that can be done about that? It’s so tight I’m not sure how I’m going to load it onto my scanner. I’m beyond frustrated. Even my svema 125 is curled and difficult to use. Not to mention trying to get a straight cut between frames. I know it’ll be something to get used to after having things done a specific way for the last ten years. But it’s currently frustrating to say the least. So anyway to flatten these?
