I can't place the model, but yes it is a beauty.

This X100F makes me feel stupid, lol. I'm not into the tech stuff, normally I just put my 5d/6d in AV and shoot. Haha. It has a bunch of film simulations (the above is Acros), face tracking, EVF, leaf shutter, electronic shutter, built-in ND, flash, and on, and on, and on.

Nice CS. Love the wood grain wheel.

Alternative Auto. Had to get an oil leak looked at in my dad's old SN95. They put an S-trim on it in the fall.
I've never seen a cleaner shop in my life.

Shot on Film
Kodak 400 Portra

**97 Ex/SiR** · 05-15-2018, 02:10 PM

Portra 400 is great. What are you shooting with??

**Xceler8r** · 05-15-2018, 02:42 PM

Im currently using an FM2N with Voigtlander 40mm. That shot was with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4. Ive also got a Oly OM-1 thats out getting CLA'd.

Ive got a few rolls I need to get processed just need time to do it. I mostly use Portra, but Love Ektar 100 and FujiFilm Velva 100. Im hoping to break away from Color and get into some B&W soon.

**Xceler8r** · 05-15-2018, 02:50 PM

Here is a shot using Ektar 100. This is Randy Pobst AER E36 M3

Definitely not film just showing off Randys signature :P

**97 Ex/SiR** · 05-15-2018, 08:56 PM

Nice. I really like Ektar.

Fuji C200.

I just counted 21 rolls I need to have developed....Ha. I really need to learn how to do it myself.

**Xceler8r** · 05-16-2018, 09:44 AM

Those turned out really awesome! Ive never used C200 I dont even think Ive seen it before lol.

I know the pain of having a lot of rolls to get processed...sigh... lol

Portra 400

**97 Ex/SiR** · 05-16-2018, 10:07 PM

Nice! That looks better than what mine usually looks like.

I found a photo lab in Belgium that had it on sale (C200), as well as Agfa Vista 200, so I bought a few rolls of each because I'd never seen it before either. Turns out both were recently discontinued....I think?

C200.

Agfa Vista 200.

My brother totally shot 8 of the rolls I brought on the vacation... Haha. I have one roll of Portra 400 left I'm going to shoot at 800, and one roll of Tri-X I'm gonna try at 1600.

Oh, I shot I think 6 rolls on that trip, and I overexposed everything. I was tired of having my shadows always being too dark, so I went a little brighter. I have a lot of white skies...Oh well.

**Xceler8r** · 05-17-2018, 02:00 PM

Those shots are amazing! Love the contrast.

That sucks to hear about the 200's never even knew they existed and already gone forever

I need to take more vacations so I can have better things to take photos of lol

**97 Ex/SiR** · 05-18-2018, 07:46 AM

Haha, I hear you. That was my first time out of north America, and I'd really like to do a lot more traveling in the future. I keep hearing that film is slowly getting more popular, so hopefully we'll see new film stocks enter the market. Kodak TMAX P3200 was just reintroduced, and they've been promising a updated Ektachrome for a couple years now. https://filmphotographystore.com has a lot of stuff I've never heard of before - not sure if you are familiar. They do a podcast too that is quite funny. I'm into the whole thing, but I just don't have the money to shoot as much as I'd like. I re-evaluated my life a few years ago and simplified things immensely. I have way less money, but a lot more time.

When I looked a couple days ago, there were 10 packs of C200 on Amazon for $28. But only a couple left. I really liked that stuff.

The orange cat with the note I posted on prior page was from the same roll.

**Xceler8r** · 05-18-2018, 09:23 AM

Ive never heard of that site will definitely have to check them out. Im up for experimenting.... after all I think thats the main basis for film and creativity :P
