So today I was registering for classes and all that and I am told:

 

"Oh, you need a 4x5 camera for this class. it's $475 your first semester and $375 your second to rent it. Or you could just purchuse it for $900. We have an amazing school discount from B&H."

 

So I took out another loan and bought a 4x5 camera.

 

I know nothing about this camera other than the film is 4x5 and what it looks like. I don't want to wait till september to learn more about it so I'm begining my e-research now. Does anyone have experience with these? And if so, how do you feel about that? Do you prefer large format over medium or standard?

 

At the school store Ilford bw film is like $1.75 a roll...I win.

will post pics when i get back..

ctrl.. the old ran over the lens trick eh?

if you have an old 35mm(not a fancy new one with the weird connection system) i'd go to a thrift store, sometimes they just have lens lying around for cheap.i actually saw my pentax in a different model with extra lenses for around a $100..and i didn't buy it like a dick..

and the fisheye is an attachment to your original lens.. i think mine was 90$.. also go to smaller camera shops because they usually are cooler and sometimes have a lot of random shit..i dont think i've ever typed that much on 12oz..good luck..

i'm going to buy $1 rolls of expired film..

c+a+d,

 

jbrsh had most of what I was going to say, down. So, my only suggestion for a 28mm (wide angle) would be to go online.

I bought my 28mm lens at a large locally owned camera shop near me.

It was a Montgomery Ward lens for $89.

Keep in mind some lenses may not fit most cameras. This shop has lots of used equipment and they also organize it by what fits what camera model. In my case there were a TON of lenses for the Minoltas.. wide-angle, telephoto, etc.

Also note: the 28mm lens is NOT a fisheye lens.

If you want a fisheye, I recommend the Phoenix Super Fisheye.

I think jbrsh and I were the ones talking about it a while back on this thread and he bought one... seeing as how I can see he used one/it third picture down in his post.

Something cool.. when you use a 50mm lens and the Super Fisheye, your viewing angle is about 152°. When you add a 28mm and the Fisheye, it makes your image view angle 175°!

Pretty fucking sweet.

 

So in conclusion, try the local shops around you.

I suggest you call ahead and ask for thier inventory AND prices. It doesn't hurt to ask.

 

If you don't mind buying things online try eBay.

These sites are pretty cool for used equipment:

- http://www.keh.com/shop/brand.cfm?sid=newused

- B&H

 

 

If you're still lost, let me know what model camera you have and I can be more specific.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off to develop a roll from some recent shows.

I took pics at two recent Finch shows.. in Philly on the 1st and a NJ show on the 4th.

 

The disposable I used had about 16 shots left on it.. I have no idea what I used it for before, should be interesting.

 

30 mins and I can pick it up at the store.

is there any significance whatsoever in drinking the blood (that you know of) or do they just like the taste?

 

i really dont know the reason for drinking the blood. im guessing that they think "its good for you." kinda like vegetables that your mom forced you to eat when you were little.

My apologies to everyone involved with the polaroid pass around for taking so long. I'm finished with all of my work, but because pmb is moving on the 6th i'm going to wait a few extra days and send it to his new address instead of sending it out tomorrow and hoping it makes it to him before he moves. Normally i'd say a week was plenty of time, but i've had far too many problems with the postal service to trust them to get it there quickly.

 

Send that shit.
