Worlds worst shit, made even worse by the totally unoriginal and unfunny captions.

I can tell these are just random screenshots. Some of the shots are too dark, or too blurry. When a shot is good it gets ruined by text superimposed on the picture.

I'm not a professional photographer. As a matter of fact I'm just a regular digital photographer and I can tell that these pictures are that bad.

ohno, my life is in ruin, and he shall prosper in the glory of his triumph.

I have an M6, its my favorite Leica to use.
Nice 4th version of the 35 cron. A.K.A. the king of bokeh.

The M6 is pretty simple.
Set your film iso on the back dial so the light meter is set.
the shutter speed dial is on the top there.
once you finish the roll of film, the little lever on the front that says "r", push that right so it engages.
then wind the film with the knob on the left.

>>766812
Thanks, that is basically the plan, just having trouble finding someplace with the resources I need.

>>766843
It is very true, I will try to have some photos scanned(will they do that for me at the lab?) to post on here tomorrow, likely just going to shoot some black and white street type stuff because that is what is available to me.

>>766848
Thanks! I just was reading a site called "The Online Photographer" where they actually recommend using a Leica with one lens and one film for a year to start out, seems like a interesting concept. A mini link dump would be much appreciated, the sooner the better of course!

>>766849
Not trolling, will post some results tomorrow so you can troll me telling me I have talent or no talent or however you troll newfags.

>>766867
Thanks for the little guide! Will help me when I get film.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

A much better thing for a beginner to do would be to sell the Leica and get an entry level DSLR, then either pocket the extra cash or get some lenses.

Just bumping this, should have the photos back from the Lab either tomorrow or Monday depending on when I can get back there to pick them up.

Still very interested in any Guides or anything like that for the M6 or Leica's in General so I can learn as much as possible!

>>768033
Pointless commentary most likely made a film faggot.

>>768038
HOLY SHIT AN ACTUAL PHO... wait, it's just pro-digital propaganda presenting the end of film as a fait accompli

Fuck this shit, film is for wimps. If I see any of you motherfuckers out taking snaps with your fucking film cameras ima fuck you up and bash you with ma fucking Rebel.

Thread should be archived so digifags learn their lesson.

The only reason most of you film geeks process your own shit is because all the photo labs are dying out and you don't like to go to Walmart for your prints, it's just uncool.

Kiron? Keep that lens!!!!!

There was a group of lens designers at Nikor that broke with Nikons design philosophy at the time of going cheaper on the design of the optics to stay competitive at a very competitive time in the SLR market.
These lens designers left Nikon and made their own third party zooms with no compromises. They not only broke the idea that third-party lenses were not of the same quality as OEM manufacturers, they embarrased the hell out of Nikon;
The zoom lenses each outperformed Nikons PRIME lenses at each of the relevant focal lengths!!! That was completely unheard of before or since.
They named the lenses Kiron, Nikor switched around.

They were awesome but too expensive and so later they sold out and died off into something else.

Keep that lens. That was worth the whole package price.

>>767941
How much did you pay for it?

>>768007

The Kiron 28-85mm was available in Nikon, Canon, Olympus and numerous other mounts. It was the very first mid-range zoom lens by ANY lens maker tested by Modern Photography to achieve recommended status (it rated 34 out of 36 'Excellent' ratings for center & corner sharpness (and the two other ratings were 'very good'. Contrast rated as all 'High' at 28mm, all but one 'High' at 50mm, and mostly high at 85mm. Both 28 and 50mm settings rated 'superb' by f/5.6, and pincushion distortion was under 1.25%. There is some light falloff at 28mm, and do vignette a bit wide open at 28mm with any sort of filter, but this disappears by f/4.

>>768026
So it's not a piece of shit, and a collectible at that???

I paid $60 for all of that! Suddenly I feel awesome. Thank you for the story too.

Lord knows that even if the body is a piece of shit, a good lens makes a good image. The XG-M is a pretty good camera too, from what I hear.

Should I get a better teleconverter? Google tells me that the one that comes with the kit is shit. It's a 2x Soligar.

That Kiron is well known by old farts like me.

It was generically called the 'stovepipe', and was the only aftermarket/third party lens even hardcore gearfags would be seen using. They were expensive as fuck back then, though.

one rapes your face, the other rapes your butthole.

yeah, but this one is really unbalanced, too much weight on the right. still nice though.

>>768027

best one so far,

only thing I can really say would make it better is if you aimed it slightly lower, with a little bit more ground in front, and little less sky, but I'm talking a very small amount.

Starbucks.

>>768031
Agreed. This is why I moved and used the break in the fog to balance things.

You can also scan your film negatives into pretty high quality digital images for editing.

>>768017
Nah, just find someone with a good film scanner. Film also makes you think about your shots before you take them, instead of take 1000 and publish the 4 that are good. It makes you a better photographer, imo.

>>768019
right, so i would have to buy a scanner too. are all scanners the same or...yeah i know total newfag

>>768022
so what kind of film camera should i get?

>>768030

a digital one

>>767422
A month or so ago I went for a roll of Ektar they said their distributor was bought out and all orders were backordered. They didn't seem to have any other Kodak film besides Gold 100. I went there a week or two ago and asked when they'd be getting some D76 in, and they told me the same thing. Distributor bought out, backordered, ect. Their fridges looked pretty barren to I assumed they were still out of film.

>>767525
yea, awesome. too bad you need to wait in line for 20 minutes to get help with anything and they rush you the entire time

>>767525

fuck you, thats all I have to say, I am so goddamn jealous.

Is it true the place is entirely run by orthodox jews?

Service Photo in Baltimore, MD is a good place.

Not the guy you're responding to, but the owner of B&H and most of the employees are Satmar Chasidim. And the owner donates almost all of B&H's nine-figure yearly profit to charity, doesn't own a car, and lived in a small apartment somewhere in B&H's building until he bought someone's big house to save them from bankruptcy, if I'm remembering the story right because someone had built a funeral home across the street and no one would pay an otherwise reasonable amount for it. He moved what sparse furniture he had into a few rooms of the house and leaves the rest empty.

Adorama is also owned by Orthodox Jews, but I don't know what sect or anything else about their operation.

Do you live here or was that from a visit?

I was thinking some (excuse my language) nigger part of town would do best, with lots of graffiti.

>>767989
i lived in vegas for a month and a half, in some apt building in the nigger/beaner side of town, lots of gun shops ,liquor stores and smoke shops.
lots of open space with graffiti walls and the glow from the strip actually give off nice colors
