how do u meter the light with film SLR? or how do u make sure that u get the right exposure? i have never used one before.

oh, it's the same as DSLR
what camera r u using now?
it's still the same. try one today

[shutterhero]

I prefer spot metering. All centre-weight & Spot metering are based on Kodak 18% grey scale.
I use to have a few of those grey card - just forgot where I put it!!!

Another way (the approximate way) is use ur palm. Hold your palm agaisnt the subject and meter off your palm
then add 1 stop to the exposure. If the shots is important bracket it.

totally agree with you. i use spot metering too

So what film camera are you using? I myself currently still keep (in my dry case) my EOS 50 and a Olympus OM-2s.
All my previous cameras sold! too many to recall what I've use. I'm not much of a artistic guy but more of playing with
toys type. I used to buy cameras not to take picture with it but just curious what it can do!!!

wow! dun just keep them,mike. use it. i dun ask you to spend many daily, just a roll or two for say for two weeks.

that Olympus OM-2s attracted me. i suggest you use that. i bet must be fully manual.

im using Nikon FM2 at the moment and Nikon D70s. i just finished a roll of fujifilm 400 today which i had loaded for 2 weeks. im loading a new one tomorrow. i alway have my FM2 with me, to do street photography, or anything. and im still using film-compact sometime. i have one Canon Prima BF-90 which my dad bought for me in Sibu in 1994 whn we went there makan angin. still look new. i'll take pic of her when im free.

Nice choice! FM2 and FE2 - some of the best camera I've ever used. I still have a original FM, OM-1n, Leica R4 and Seagul medium format but unfornately it is all damaged!
Only my OM-2s & EOS still working... I think!!! I'll take a picture and post it here tomorrow if you like; now it's late ans sleepy...

good nite...

wow wow wee im jealous now
whr do u get those camera?
and my goodness you have medium-format too????? and it is seagul, a classic brand! and Leica R4, holy...

but how do u know they r not working already?
come to KL and repair em.

film is more vibrant. i think that's what we wanted to say.

I fully agree with this one. When I'm converting some 120 films into digital, espeically color photos of scenery, it is way better than what you get from a digital camera alone. I can't explain it, it just is.

Once you tweak it, the photo really stands out.

ian, whr did u digitize your 120 film in Miri?
cus i have to rolls here to scan.
and where did u buy that 120film of your in Miri? Thx.

Bring it to Soo Chew studio in town. They'll eventually pass it on to me to do that. Located near the 2 Public Banks, at the end of High Street.

Beware the 'slow moving cars' there, I suggest you can park at the District Office for better road access instead of cramming into that roundabout at the fishmarket. It isn't such a long walk anyway.

I do dust removal and some basic restoration as well. (Different from the automatic dust removal by software which simply creates a blurrer image).

Request to write your username on the envelope so I can identify it's yours .

Alternatively, you can also ask around other studios to do the scanning for you as I think most would offer this service, but I do not know if they do color restoration and proper dust removal.
