YOUR FIRST CAMERA
CoryAmmerman replied to Jeffrey L.T. von Glück's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
As I am a few years younger than many posters here and I didn't buy my first camera until I was a few years out of college, My first camera was this Nikon F65 that came bundled with the kit 28-80 and 70-300 zooms. Purchased from B&H on February 4th, 2005, according to the receipt I kept. I still have them, and they all still work, despite having left the camera out in the rain all night after a night of drunken revelry about 15 years ago. Here is an image from what I believe is the very first roll I ever shot with it, a 12 exposure roll of Fujicolor 100. -

Wow. that Sultan of Brunei Leica is a steal at only 15-20,000 pounds. -
I never cared for the Epson software for image processing. I only use the software for scanning, with no corrections applied, and then process the resulting full-sized .tiff file in another program. I then save the processed image as .jpeg, leaving the source image untouched (other than the dust removal, which I do by hand). My usual workflow is: scan with Epson scan as a .tiff (at desired output dpi) > open image in processing software > clone out dust > save .tiff > make global and local adjustments > save as .jpeg

Any ideas what is causing these streaks?
CoryAmmerman replied to KrisK_'s topic in The Wet Darkroom: Film, Paper & Chemistry
You might try DSLR scanning, if you have one, and use different software to invert the negative and see if you can reproduce the artifacts. This would remove both the scanner and the scanner software as possible sources of the issue. -

Thanks Mike. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the images I got from the Ricoh. I've got a Sears KS500, which I believe is also made by Ricoh, that's now in the queue to be taken out for a spin.

It seems to me like the instructions are probably geared towards SLR's with focal plane shutters that sync at much lower speeds. I would think that with a leaf shutter you could probably use whatever shutter speed you wanted. I recently tried out an older Vivitar flash on my D300 when my main flash stopped working. I used a cheap off camera flash cord in between, with the though that maybe if there was a voltage issue, the cord would bite the dust first. I cant say for sure if my plan was effective, but my D300 is still working.
