I don't usually post on this part of the forums as I do mostly people/portrait, but found a nice little gem just a few miles from our house. I can't believe I lived in Southern California for ...

I did! I have a plethora of DSLRs and find myself shooting exclusively film for the past few months since I got my film camera. I don't really feel the need for my DSLRs for the time being. It ...

Thank you!! I am loving the colors of the Portra as well. Skin tones look natural and very versatile.

Thank you!

Thank you!! I will look it up. Cinestil 800t has been OOS where I live (Los Angeles) from most of my local stores in the area (and online has a huge markup if/when available).

Wide angle portraits can open up more possibilities IMHO. I like wide angle portraits for this reason. Here is one shot at 28mm. Nikon D800 + AF-S 28-70 f/2.8

Thank you! These were shot on a Nikon F5 paired with a Nikkor AF-S 28-70 f/2.8

Thank you! I agree it is a no brainer! Will definitely always have one in the bag!

If you are local in LA, I would take that 135 f2 off your hands if you are willing to sell! :-D

Thank you! It is indeed a "beast!" Brought it for a trip to Florida in late May. It was a chore lugging it around the theme parks, but I am glad I did. Captured some wonderful memories with it!

Placed 1^st in the challenge.

Some recent shots enjoying the LA sunsets at home. Nikon F5 + AF-S 28-70 f/2.8 + Kodak Portra 400. Loving the colors from the Portra! Shot and processed at box speeds. Scanned with Noritsu Scanner.

As a film beginner, I am experimenting with different film stocks. Below are some shots from my first 2 rolls of Kodak Portra 400. There is a reason almost every online article and Youtube video ...

Thank you!!

Thank you! this lens is a tank and I am beginning to think this lens will outlive me:-O On the bright side, I can pass it along to my son!

Thank you both! Really useful info. I am finding that while the "basic" concepts between film and digital are the same, the workflow is a LOT different. I need to brush up on my "math" ;-):-P

Hello! I usually use 2 lights to shoot portraits (1 key, 1 rim, 1 reflector on bottom of key to light the eyes). I use Godox AD600s as my main lights, but have some speedlights as well. When ...
