Amateur photographers could get a lot closer to the action back in the day - but she did call me a "damn reporter" without looking as though she really thought I was one! We are almost the same age.
Canon AE-1, Kodak Tri-X
From a few weeks ago at the cemetery in Pescadero, CA. Shot with Nikon F3 and 50mm f/1.2 AI-S on film.
Film bug finally got to me late last november. Thankfully I've been collecting film cameras for 15 years so I had plenty of gear lying around to test. In the past 6 weeks, I've developed over 20 rolls of film at home, mostly 120 film, some 35mm rolls, both b&w and color. This frame was shot with Mamiya 7 II with the 65mm f/4 lens. Ilford HP5 film. Scanned with Negative.supply film holder and a Canon EOS R5 w/100mm 2.8 Macro.

It works great! I put a piece of 120 backing paper through it. It loads into my 127 film reels just fine. The hardest part for me was figuring out which of 6 sizes of coupling nuts to use. I settled on 1/4"-20. Got the machine screws to match in 1/2" and 1-1/4" (those are the lengths) and 1/4" washers. The camera is a Peony tlr. The space across the opening is 2 inches. It's got a metal body, which I thought might make it stronger. It's important to put the exacto blade tip below the level of the camera door.
Note: after using this to cut film I notice it's a tiny bit narrower than the efke 127. I filed the upper nut down some, maybe 1/32 inch, but it wasn't enough to make any difference. The film fits fine in my camera (ferrania rondine) and plastic developing reels. Here and here are the first two photos from the slitter.
Another Note: The inside of the Peony tapers a bit - so the chamber is a little narrow. I'm going to try a Traveler 120 next - it has a metal body and is about 2 3/8 inches wide on the inside. The Eagle Eye 120 also has a metal film chamber. I'm also thinking I need to change the angle of the exacto blade - I notice derevaun's is more vertical. I cut 4 rolls of film, and seem to need a fresh blade already. My last roll came through okay, but it was hard to turn the knob. The paper tore near the end because it was piling up in front of the blade. The film came through okay though. I had to open the camera/slitter in a dark bag and transfer the film to the 127 reel immediately.
edit: I now use a film slitter from this place www.subclub.org/sponsors/goathil2.htm
I got mine on ebay. It works better for me.
The bulk film comes in a sturdy metal can. After you've loaded the film into the loader, it makes a perfect place to store your catnip!

It's late...
later than it should be
I just finished the scans of the negs, had a drink (or two) with my roommate and talked of things that are broken and yet
still beautiful...
My playlist tonight is hitting every mark
I will go to bed soon
but right now I think of Kate
and the wedding dress she shredded before me with a pair of scissors
i watched as things fell apart and yet
came together at the same time
Last night
and I had no film other than my expiring polaroid
Someone asked "Why don't you just do this in digital?"
Because you can't....
Lazy sons of bitches you can't
Sure you can try to fake it
but it will always be a fake
The film I shot with
will be gone in seven more shots
Shooting with ghosts
(for now)
but this light obeys different rules
and will evade the safe practitioners of undoable editing
and states emphatically
"this is who i am...now what are you going to do?"
"Have you caught the butterfly in the net or are you going to pretend like you did?"
I'm not saying that I did....
but I believe that the invaluable arrives when you rely
on nothing other than film and faith....
I did my best under the circumstances...
A camera that demanded you knew what you were truly doing
and a friend who cut her wedding dress from her body at 2:30AM
(Almost the last) Polaroid 55 film
and rage
