    Film Pentax or Nikon ?

    Pentax, obviously! :) Well I'm biased because I've never really used anything else. But the Pentax and compatible lens options are excellent, and the cameras are small and lightweight (but not so quirky as the Olympus range). The Pentax lenses don't seem to work quite so well with mirrorless...

    Film Filters for B&W

    TBH I'd start with yellow or orange rather than red. Yellow still gives you a reasonable effect with clouds, while orange is quite a bit stronger. Once you get onto the red filter, even with TTL metering you may have to add a stop because the red filter can affect the meter readings. Red is...

    Film Ricoh 500G

    That first one looks like a shutter problem to me; had something similar in a Pentax MX. But I could definitely be wrong!

    Film Zeiss Ikonta B 520/16 w. 75 mm Novar lens

    While it's nice to have a medium format camera that folds up small enough to go in your pocket, I find I rarely use mine (which was inherited from my father). Several usability issues: the viewfinder is poor, with visible distortion and quite faded; the wind-on with red window view to work out...

    Film Problem with dirty negatives/scans

    Glad you've got it solved, José. No doubt you noticed that not one if us here suggested a light leak! Ah well, forums ain't perfect, but collectively we usually do better than this! :2thumbs:

    Film Problem with dirty negatives/scans

    Jose, that doesn't look like dirt to me; more like a problem in the developing. Is it definitely on the negatives? Does it happen with more than one film, or more particularly, from more than one batch? If it's dirt, you should clearly see it on the negatives themselves. If it's a processing...

    Fuji What most irritates you about your X10?

    The X20 is not yet finalised, so there's still time for those Fuji engineers to tweak a few details. So what really irritates you about your X10 that they might fix? Two things for me: first, the battery life, which I guess IS already fixed. Second, the weird matrix of things you can/cannot...

    Fuji X20 X-pectations

    I guess one of the sad things about the X20 is it makes it less likely we get good raw support for the X10, as its sensor will be seen as one with no future. There's a bit of concern that the XTrans sensor will not get good raw investment from the big guys because the numbers of cameras just...

    Fuji Another new one

    I'm another new member, although I've had my X10 for almost a year now. It's my favourite digital camera ever. I've contributed to (and learned from) the massive X10 thread over on Talk Photography.
