  1. <p>I have a few rolls of efke ir820 aura that I have been meaning to use but not sure about the exposure and development time. I intend to use a R72 filter and was wondering...</p>

     

    <ol>

    <li>Do I adjust for the filter factor for the R72?</li>

    <li>If I do adjust for the filter factor for the R72, does this change the development time? If so by how much?</li>

    </ol>

    <p>If anybody has any other exposure/dev combinations or ny tips or advice regarding efke ir820 aura would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced!</p>

  2. <p>I recently developed a roll of Arista Premium 400 in d-76 and noticed it was more grainy and had far more contrast than the 400 films i usually use such as fuji and hp5 and i was wondering if anybody had the same experiences with Arista Premium 400 or did i do something wrong or could my chemistry be off? I don't have a ton of experience with film so any feedback would be greatly appreciated... i also checked the mass dev chart on digitaltruth and there is 2 different times... one at 8 mins and one at 6.75 was which i used.</p>
  3. <p>Anybody have any recommendations or experience with an inexpensive lens for the canon 10s film camera? I'm looking to for a wide to standard zoom focal length lens mainly for shooting black and white film and color slide film. Not looking to spend too much money on a lens since I already have a lens that I use with my digital slr that I am quite happy with and have no intentions of switching to a full frame dslr any time soon, so any advice or recommendations will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.</p>
  4. Anyone ever had any experience using this lens on a Rebel XTi? I was looking

    to purchase a Canon 70-200mm f/4L and every site that I've been to gave it rave

    reviews, but it isn't too much more expensive than the Sigma and the Sigma has

    better specs. My biggest concerns are picture sharpness and autofocus speed and

    I've tried some third party lenses that have what I considered to be sub-par

    autofocusing. I'm looking for a lens that I'll be able to shoot indoor and

    night sports because some of my family will be attending high school soon, but

    something that I can carry around when I travel without breaking my back. Any

    insights or opinions about the Sigma or the Canon lens would greatly be

    appreciated.

  5. Looking for an all purpose lens to leave on my Canon Digital Rebel XTi and

    having a difficult time deciding between the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM L or

    Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 USM IS. I am most interested mostly in landscape and

    night photography and occasionally indoor. All the reviews that I've read for

    both lenses seem to be very positive and I am having a terrible time deciding

    which lens to purchase. Any advice or reasons for or against either lens would

    be greatly appreciated, thanks.

  6. Which camera is more bang for it's buck? The XTi has 10 megapixels, a sensor

    cleaner and is a few hundred dollars less... but I've also heard that there's a

    underexposure problem with some cameras, it's smaller and doesn't feel as

    sturdy... the 30D is a little more expensive, but has spot metering and is a

    faster camera... are the features in the 30D worth the extra couple hundred or

    would I be fine with the XTi... I mostly shoot landscapes and local events just

    for kicks but looking to expand my horizons... Any advice from owners or users

    would be very helpful, thanks

  7. Looking to take some pictures at a fair with a 35mm slr camera and was wondering

    if there would be a difference with taking pictures at a larger aperature,

    faster shutter speed and smaller aperature, slower shutter speed? If so, what

    would the differences be? Also how well will ISO 100 film work at night? Would

    ISO 400 film be better?

  8. I'm looking to purchase some filters for my camera and I'm not too sure what

    company produces good quality filters. I was looking at Quantaray filters

    because they seem to be fairly inexpensive compared to some other brands, but

    noticed they have gotten mixed reviews from people, but I also heard they were

    made by Hoya. Anyone have any experience with Quantaray filters? Any

    recommendations on a brands?
