codeismycanvas<p>My wife stumbled across her dad's old Instamatic camera, and discovered it still had film in it, which we worked out has been in the camera since at least 1983. Found a local place that still develops 126 Kodacolor cartridges (Picture Perfect Photo Lab, Albuquerque), and not expecting much, took it in. </p><p>To my eye, the negatives are just a weird green with a few barely-visible streaks. But after digitizing and doing some heavy processing in Darktable and Gimp, I was able to get a identifiable image out of every frame.</p><p>Can't complain given the film was exposed over 40 years ago and has been sitting in the hot garage and who knows what other environments since then. </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/filmphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filmphotography</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/kodacolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kodacolor</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/126film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>126film</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/photolab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photolab</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/instamatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instamatic</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/darktable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darktable</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gimp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gimp</span></a></p>

But many of these images are obviously attempting something like a classically correct b&w print but are failing badly to approach that ideal. They are ugly to no particular purpose. Why?</p>

Many old film cameras (ca. 1935-1955) had fine lenses but only a manual distance setting for focus. These were often succeeded by a version that added a RF and were/are a lot more expensive. This device makes those earlier cheap but great cameras much more usable.</p><p><a href="https://reflxlab.com/products/distance-meter-for-vintage-cameras-free-shipping" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">reflxlab.com/products/distance</span><span class="invisible">-meter-for-vintage-cameras-free-shipping</span></a></p>
