Medium Format repair recommendations (Mamiya)? Hi folks. Does anyone have any recommendations for a film camera repair shop/technician in the U.S.? I contacted Bill Rodgers/mamiyarepair.com but he has a huge back log of work and is not currently accepting M645s. For some context, I shoot with a Mamiya M645-1000S. I love it, however, yesterday I went to pop in a fresh roll and a small silver…

Do you know of any programs that allow for batch processing of NEF files to JPEGs without needing to post-process every single image? Hi everyone! I’m wondering how you handle batch processing of RAW (NEF) files to generate JPEGs quickly and efficiently, without needing to post-process every single image?

Is starting film photography with a Zenit EM a bad idea? I’ve been using digital for like 6 years now so I know everything about that but I’ve never used film in my life (except for camera obscura or cyanotypes) My Zenit EM (1979 SLR from the USSR) works quite well, even the selenium lightmeter moves (though it is likely wrong lol) but it is incredibly complex in comparison with a modern DSLR, especia…

Bats. How can I photograph them? I’ve always liked bats and I’ve recently found some which live in a forest near me and eat the insects on the lake there.
