This thread's to share what you're most stoked about in the photo/film world. I know people are busy and have a lot of ideas that they want to pursue, and just haven't quite had the time yet to make it happen. Hopefully posting some things you want to film will help you to create some time to get it done.

To start things off--

- I just got back in touch with a friend that four wheels and is so sick at it. I already have a perfect song picked out and have been picturing the shots I'll get for the last day. Can't wait to start filming.

- Finally picked up a sandisk extreme pro 32gb 95mb/s SD card for my t2i and no longer have to worry about "filming has stopped automatically", makes me feel so much more confident when filming important things

- Just purchased a 3tb hard drive, so all my shits backed up!

share your giddyness

Tri-X holds up so well @ 800, also feel I'm improving in scanning with Silverfast and the Plustek.

And Laurens, Tri-x is just the friggin' best. I've got about 70 rolls in the fridge still. You can easily shoot it at 800 without any real loss in shadow detail; at 1600 it still looks really good.

Ok. I've never shot with a Broni, so I don't know. What I do know, is that I love my M645 setup!

ya m645's are the way to go, I would never recomend a broni to someone unless they NEEDED 6x6 and couldnt do a hassy or decent tlr

I'm getting it with an 80mm and two backs for $100 in perfect condition, and would really like a 6x6 camera. If I choose to sell it I can easily make the money back and some, Mamiya 645 was actually my second choice but I really want to shoot 6x6, and if I end up not liking it will probably buy a 645 in the end.

Just bought a Glidecam 2000 Pro for $200 off ebay. Didn't think i was going to be able to afford one so I'm excited.

Has anybody seen an edit with a fisheye on a Glidecam or used a fisheye on a Glidecam? I'm trying to decide if I should buy a 11-16mm or stick with my 8mm.

Zac moxley used to do it a bit. Its not ideal because if you're not shooting from a low angle, the distortion of a fisheye kind of works against you. Should be fine for jumps but rails might look funny

Shot a test roll of expired Kodak 7222 with a Bolex Rex 5 and a 2x anamorphic adaptor. Getting ready to shoot a short film with this setup this month. Stoked on how the test footage came out now I can't wait to go out and shoot the whole project:

That's what I figured. My only option at the moment would be to use my 18-55mm, the only lens I have that's "wide." Should I buy a Rokinon 14mm or just wait and save up to buy a Tokina 11-16mm?

well if you find that 18mm isn't wide enough for you and you want a 14mm in the meantime, you're not going to lose any money on reselling it if you have the patience and bought it for a good price originally. so i'd say it's really up to you whether or not you want to buy and resell or just wait and save up, you can't go too far wrong either way

Why not a Mamiya 645, or do you really want to shoot 6x6? Because 6x4.5 is technically cheaper than shooting 6x6

Or a TLR? I got my Yashica Mat 124G for $100. I've probably put close to 100 rolls through it and it has made some awesome shots. Waist level finder + built in meter make it a prime street shooter.

Yeah that's what I assumed, but he already took the ad down so it's too late anyways.

And If I can't find another 6x6 for a pretty good price I'm probably gonna get a 645 cause there's some pretty good ones for decent prices. And the only reason I don't want a TLR is I would like the option to purchase more lenses down the line, most affordable TLR's are pretty limited in that sense.

Sweet, I got selected for my school's artist of the month for January. I am getting a custom framing done for free!

It was that project that I was trying to figure out what famous image to recreate in paper a while back if anyone remembers.

A C330 shouldn't be too expensive.

But why are you so keen on getting multiple lenses? Like POV suggested, a Yashica Mat 124 shouldn't cost you much and is an incredible camera. Just look at POV's shots...

Also, picked up a black OM-2 spot-program with winder yesterday. Beautiful little camera. And the winder is a surprisingly awesome accesory. Makes it awesome to hold.
Now I have three OM-1's and an OM-2sp. Maybe adding an OM-2 to the collection to make it complete. OM-3/4's don't really interest me because they fugly.

I guess it depends on his shooting style though. I love my Yashica because I shoot mostly street photos. I could definitely see the fixed 80mm lens and 1/500 shutter speed be limiting if I was shooting a lot of action or portraits or landscapes. M645 is a great camera too. Dat 80mm f1.9...

And yes that's my thumb slightly blocking the lens.

Also got a random Yashica SLR and a cool old light meter with it.
