Yeah and if it’s anything like my 90s canon SLR, that viewfinder doesn’t offer ANY help on manual focus!!! I’ve been trying to remember to just shoot with smaller aperture when I can to help sharpen things up when I know my eyes will fail me. I still miss focus a lot when shooting manual focus tho

Yeah Fuji stopped selling their old Superia formula in the US in the last couple years which is why I ask! If you get Fuji 400 it’s (suspected to be) respooled ultramax from Kodak!

Taken on my Fujica STX-1, with a new-to-me f/3.5 28mm lens which has become my new go-to. The last photo in this set was taken on the old 50mm with a 2x teleconverter.

Who says you can’t shoot ISO 25 film at blue hour!
Just picked up more of this film yesterday, felt really inspired by the first roll and really enjoying the printing challenges the high contrast makes.

Yeah Dunsmuir has very strong Twin Peaks vibes on the whole.

I’ve been pushing film a lot this winter but now I’m shooting more at box speed again! Might even start pulling film now that the light is returning. Having pushed a lot of film recently I can see some of the limits and drawbacks of the technique more clearly now.

Well I got the switch bar off and back on again but as I suspected it wasn’t the cause of my problem. More troubleshooting ahead.

Thanks! soldering is something I drag my feet on too but really not as hard as I always imagine it will be. The desoldering was really tough on me tonight tho. Made a bit of a mess of it 😅 nothing broken!

Turns out the tank lid was cracked, so more than half my chemistry had leaked out by the time I got through development 🙃 Still a lot of usable shots!
