M&A stoke

Just picked up a 24mm f/2.8 Olympus F-Zuiko as well as an Olympus 50mm f/2 Macro. That second one has been so hard to find as of recently. Picked up an OM-EOS adapter and got to test the lenses out first thing at collegiate cycling nationals in Utah over the weekend.
 
Yeah. I've done some testing. Definitely soft as a blanket wide open, but F2 and onward are great. Better than my canon f1.8, and at f4 it's perfect.
 
I'd get a bunch of Arista Premium (rebranded Tri-X) from Freestylephoto. It's like 2.70$ a roll and can be pushed and pulled really easily.

I'm not much into color so I can't comment on that.
 
this little for fun shoot I made got 800 views in 2 days on vimeo. thats the most I have ever gotten that fast.

Follow Your Eyes from Mat Rich on Vimeo.
 
^ if its views your after head on over to YouTube. Last video of mine got 5k in 3 days and that wasn't even a good video, especially compared to yours
 
I've always been curious as to why people don't host videos themselves when it comes to clients, as opposed to using vimeo?
 
It's pretty easy, I built a really basic html5 video player in an hour. But to make it look as good as Vimeo, and work as well as it is a fucking nightmare. And you still need to compress for the internet and you can't just host uncompressed video for streaming...
 
well, obviously not completely uncompressed, I'm not talking raw, but without having it compressed after you export it onto your pc? and oh right I never really realized it'd be a great deal more complicated than just creating a play button and embedding the video essentially haha.
 
and what were the advantages of doing that? why not just go with vimeo who has all of their shit down packed?
 
lol vimeo is far from having their shit down packed, half the time the player doesn't even work and I feel like every three months there's another issue. There's a reason why youtube is much more successful.

inb4 vimeo is for professionals.
 
This is true. I have had terrible luck with vimeo. I still use it (and pay for vimeo plus), but there are many bugs and issues that still have not been fixed
 
Oh man. Hugeeee donation to me.

Pentax K1000

Tokina 24-70 F3.5-4.5

Tokina 17mm F3.5 (F-mount)

Nikkon 55 F2.8

Nikkor 135 F2.8

Kodak Retina Ia

Kodak Retina IIIc

SO. MUCH. AWESOME!
 
Wow dude! That's an insane donation indeed!

Is that a Retina IIIc or IIIC? Both are great, but the IIIC would probably my alltime favorite 'throw-it-in-your-bag-and-beat-the-hell-out-of-it' camera. Once it's closed up you can probably drive a truck over it without breaking.
 
It's a IIIc

Okay, this is getting fucking stupid. Just picked up a Canon AE-1. 10 bucks at goodwill!!! Finally get to use my dad's old FD glass again. Woo hoo!

(note, the AT1 was my dad's from the 70's. It's now a paperweight, as nothing works anymore/the T50 died on my while shooting in San Francisco last September - mid roll. haven't been able to use my glass again until now!)
 
Hey guys, I don't know any shit on camera, but I found an old AE-1 whit a 50mm lens, a tamron 80-210mm lens and another lens, and a old flash canon 188a. Does it worth anything? and could I start taking picture whit it and upgrade to a dslr later?
 
Found a couple of kodachrome 64 rolls of 120 that are unexposed and expired in 1988 and 1989...

Film that's older than I am? Fuck yeah... (and I'm pretty old)

 
Steve McCurry put the last made roll and one of the last to be developed to good use:

anti-stoke: Just got home from hood

stoke: it was a fucking awesome week. So many good friends, memories, and photos to remember the week by! Nice to meet you @landis, blatt, sklar, and whoever else I bumped into
 
Finished the first of three videos! Some cool tech overview in here about how live visuals are handled for these "Legendary Dance Parties" I have been shooting for GrooveBoston.

 
both stoked and nervous, I have my first big wedding weekend of the season coming up. A wedding saturday and sunday. Il be making 850$ just for filming, gotta love it!
 
Got the leica back and its beautiful! just ordered 5 rolls of this, Thomas said its good so it must be good

I'm stoked on the upcoming paintball season. I've been filming a pov edit since last year, one day I'll get around to editing it :)
 
Fomapan (rebranded as Arista EDU) is really great. Next time you could also order Arista Premium, which is rebranded Kodak Tri-X, a film I personally like better.

As Lawrence said: it's very contrasty. You could pull it a a third or half a stop for better results. Don't try pushing it, that's gonna give horrible results (I speak from experience). The shadows block up like a mofo.
