You can also send it away to the labs mentioned above, but expect to pay a little more. If you want to shoot black-and-white, pick up some Kodak T-Max, Kodak Tri-X, or Ilford HP5 (The new TMAX P3200 film from Kodak is aimed at more advanced users since it requires careful processing, which costs extra if you’re sending it out.) All of those stocks have been around forever and there are lots of guides ( like ours!) online to help you develop it on your own. Labs like The Find Lab and The Darkroom do an excellent job. No, it’s not cheap, but that’s part of what helps the process feel more precious and fun. Expect to pay roughly $11 to have each roll developed and scanned. They will set you back less than $4 per roll and give you a semi-grainy, and very film-esque look. If you want to shoot color, start with Agfa Vista (now discontinued), Kodak Gold, or Fuji Superia. You can easily build an interesting collection of these lenses depending on their availability and condition.This Nikon isn’t the prettiest camera, but it has a very sharp lens, which is crucial.īy now, you’ve noticed that pretty much every one-hour photo place on the planet has disappeared, which means you should plan on sending your film away for development unless you want to do it yourself (which is totally fun and you should definitely try it, but the subject of a different article!). The best thing about these lenses is the bargain prices you can get them for. Minolta A-mount lenses are a great way to achieve sharp images using glass that is no longer in-demand but is still very much capable. There are a number of pros and cons to using these lenses which we have highlighted above. These include Sony’s existing line of A-mount cameras and of course the old Minolta cameras. Many of these lenses offer full autofocusing and metering compatibility with cameras that use the old A-mount. Provided, of course, you have a great camera to pair them with. Minolta’s old-tech lenses from the Maxxum line-up are bargain pieces of glass. Like many of the other prime Minolta lenses that we have discussed here, the Minolta 28mm f/1.4 comes with a built-in lens hood. It should handle any kind of lighting well. The lens has a fast wide aperture of f/2.8. The Minolta 28mm f/2.8 is also compatible with Sony’s A-mount camera systems. Significant chromatic aberration can be seenĪnother short focal length prime lens designed for the Maxxum Minolta mount camera.
