This is a lovely set. And Portra "misused" outdoors is pretty cool. When I dipped back into film a few years ago I quite enjoyed how softly it rendered, especially overexposed half to a full stop. Thank you for sharing.

What are you using to digitize your film shots?

I've tried a few negative scanners in the past, but have never been super happy with the outcome.

I currently send my film off to State Lab in KY and they process and scan. Someday I'd like to tackle trying this myself, but currently I don't have the bandwidth to undertake it.

State does a really great job.

I don't know if scanners have gotten faster since the last time I experimented with them, but it's definitely not the quickest process to do it yourself.

What camera do you use?

I have a few and these are old enough I'd have to dig into the folders a bit more to figure out which one I used for which...

The two film cameras I shoot with the most are a Contax G2 and Leica Mini. But I also have an Olympus XA and a Yashica Super zoom. I tend to see them all loaded thrown in different bags or in the car so I've always got something around. Most of these I think were shot on the Contax or Yashica as I just got the Leica mini last year and these are all a few years old.

Thanks for the info! I have always shot on a Konica TC, but I’m considering upgrading to something lighter and clearer.

The yashica super zooms are usually around 30$ and while not as ultra sharp as the t3/t4 they are weatherproof and shoot great photos. Ive given a few away as gifts and been able to replace them affordably. Awesome little cameras
