Long time back, I used to buy my B&W film from shop in Pudu Plaza. That shop is a little bit different from other shops. In front they display used cameras, from pro type 35mms to even large format cameras. Used to see carbon fiber Gitzos there as well. They also sell B&W processing chemicals. Really cool.

oops sorry. The shop was not in Pudu Plaza. It was Shaw Parade on the ground floor. Forgot name of the shopping complex already. I dunno if shop is still there.

any smena users here? need help...

im a smena user. Smena35. but there's no GOST setting on my smena. do u mind explaining a little more about the setting on your smena? whats the numbering system like?

hi all, 1 have a question about Cross processed.

My understanding to XPro is develop the film with opposite chemical.

example: use negative chemical to develop Slide or use positive chemical to develop negative film (no one will do this because got toxic).

So can i just buy slide, shoot, then ask any shop to develop the slide with normal method for negative film? what will come out?

you have setting from GOST 16 all the way to 250... i was reading about GOST unit and it say that it is 90% of ISO values... so 100 ISO is 90 GOST... Depending on the ISO of the Film, the apreture is set acording to the GOST units, and you only adjust the shutter speed... which is from 1/15 - 1/250. its easy to shoot with day light... once is dark... its damn hard to get shoots...

the only thing i dont understand is the focusing, how do we actually know when the focus is right when we cant see it through the view finder, we can only judge by the meter...

any way, im using a smena symbol...

oh thanks, philipcs. will ask my cousin to get one for me.. dunno where else to buy.

ok i juz emailed khloee for the bw film..i ordered 3 boxes plus the korean strap Lex Ailes.. for my sr minolta XE-5..will get the item by this week. cool

i think its an awesome piece of good toy

I finally got my LC-A fixed after leaving it to rot for 4 years... Shame on me...
Much has changed since those 4 years... It's not so easy to find film anymore... My regular shop closed down...
Was wondering if anybody has any recommendations for nice and cheap 35mm film? Better if it's expired stock!
