Hey all! I was out taking photos and dropped a lens (never felt my heart stop like that) and the top lens cap is not coming off... in fact it's jammed inside the lens itself. I heard something break and can hear something moving around inside the lens. The lens mount rail is slightly damaged in...

Hello, I would say I am a few baby steps beyond beginner. I was offered to do our company headshots at my work and I accepted and it has been going really well. The pictures are coming out great and I am learning along the way. (I use a Canon EOS Rebel T7) I am struggling with quality after...

Hey Team! Feeling a little silly after shooting a recent job on a dollar store card. I was in a pickle and just grabbed a card. It shot fine & I could review photos but when I got back to the studio, none of the files are readable. I tried some file recovery methods to no avail. I'm hoping...

Hello. My name is Pavle. I'm a young photographer. I have just started, so I'm a beginner so I'm still learning. Focus (that square thing) was set on this guy's body (stomach) and not face. What I'm trying to ask is if that (square) is on his stomach will only part of that body (stomach) be in...

Hello, apologies for what must be an irritating question for film photography enthusiasts, but I mean well. Over the past month or two I've been researching and trying to learn about the basics of film photography, as while I have a digital camera that works fantastic (a Sony a3000) and I've...

Hi everyone, I recently picked up my Yashica after a brief hiatus of about a month, and to my dismay, the shutter button would stick down and I could no longer advance the winding lever. The last time I had used this camera was knee-deep in snow in Yosemite, and I did notice the shutter button...

I have been trying to troubleshoot some issues with my Bronica SQA. When the camera takes clean photos, they are gorgeous. Unfortunately I am having some random light leak issues that I cannot figure out. I have multiple images below as reference. The exteriors are all from the same roll of...

Hey folks! Forum newbie here. I'm selling off some of my camera collection and when testing my F/N50 (w/o film), I noticed that no matter what aperture I set in manual mode the camera seems to apply near to maximum aperture for half a second after the shutter closes again after an exposure...

This is my first camera. I'm decent at framing shots and like to take pictures with my Pixel 3A. My mom recently bought me this Yashica. I know very little about film and want to find a manual for this camera or one similar. All I know at the moment is how to pop it open, how to wind up and...

:confused-55: Tripods For Tall People :confused-55: I am 76” tall, and I’m really struggling to find a middle of the road tripod and ballhead, that I don’t have to be on my knees to utilize. I have back issues, so bending down to see the viewfinder is difficult. I really would like to stay...

Hi everyone! I have a Fuji X-T20 and also a Fuji 35mm f1.4. I like this lens, but sometimes I wish it was faster to autofocus and didn´t make those noises autofocusing when I'm shooting video...so, I'm considering to order the 35mm f2. I also have the fuji 16mm f2.8 and I love the small size...

wondering if anyone else has used this combo yet and if they have any tips. developed my first roll today and it seemed ok, (could see images on the negatives) but once I scanned and attempted to invert the images the photos were mainly blue and white. I followed the cs41 kit's temps and times...

Hi everyone, I just got my first camera from my friends for my birthday, I think they got it from some photographer and that it's used, it's praktica plc3 and I watched few tutorials on YouTube on how to use it, but I fail to understand how to change ISO/ASA on my camera. I inserted a film...

I had this kr 10 super from my great grandpa, and on one occasion it decided to jam itself after the last frame. Mirror is still up, iris arm is still active and the shutter is 2/3 the way up the frame. Cocking arm doesn’t move and shutter button doesn’t do anything. Batteries were ok, but I...

Hi, about to buy my first lights. Wondering if ive chosen the right ones. Thinking of buying Godox V1 and Godox AD200pro. Then build from there. Would that be a nice start or should i choose something else?

I am brand new to photography and the style I am most inspired by is that of very old vintage photos. I found a random old photograph on the internet and needed help determining what type of film and camera would be best to take photos that resemble this style/vibe. ( see link )...
