Konica C35V + Fuji Superia 200

[theveed]

First of all, DON'T BUY FILM @ TOURIST TRAPS... I was desperate for a roll and paid S$7 for this and found out it only costs S$4 in normal stores... Well, I wouldn't have been able to take these if I didn't bite the bullet, so to speak. Enjoy.

Thanks bud

Thanks to Kimura_Papaya (aka Ian) for the great scans... Go PM him if you need scans made

Very interesting tone and color.

I was recently quoted S$13 at a resort in Malaysia for a roll of Fuji Reala. I just smile and walk away of course.

did you ask the scanners to remove the negative's orange mask? it looks like like that is causing the difference in color tone.. but if they already did then thats just the film and camera combo! nice compositions though

Serial: No I didn't but I think it's the camera since the straight-from-the-labs print had that tinge as well. I'll confirm when I get the other roll tomorrow from the lab (same film different cam).

theres actually a very very simple trick which sometimes i use whenever i scan my own photos.. you can use it to check your photos direct from the scanned jpegs.. just open photoshop.. make sure you crop all the edges properly.. i can see that some edges have not been cropped exactly.. after that go to image>adjustments>auto color... or even auto levels sometimes helps.. if you see a noticeable color shift that results in a picture having more life like colors.. or colors that best resemble the scene when you took the shot.. then the scans have not been fully orange mask corrected.. even minilab scans dont do this color correction well.. surprisingly photoshop does it way better.. minilab scans photos then prints them.. so if not color corrected will have that same cast.. most of them do color correct.. but i find that photoshop does a way better job of auto correcting it.. when it doesnt do a good job.. there's always color balance..

This is a known problem in scanning negative film.. thats why i recommend fuji reala film.. coz it corrects real easily and is good for scanning.

About the edges, I didn't bother, I like it as it and I don't mind the crop edge showing... I do have copies with color correction (I use color balance mainly), but I prefer not to make them "correct"... Part of the reason why I like these old cams are their inherent "flaws", getting tired of proper colors and characteristics that my digital camera images bring anyway. But thanks for the tips nonetheless.

haha i understand where you're coming from.. i dig vintage cameras too.. but in my case..i believe it is not the characteristics of the camera and film that is showing through.. but the flaws of scanning negative film.. hence the anal nature of my scanning workflow.. im also a pure film shooter.. whatever it is as long as you dig the results thats all that matters!

Will keep your notes in mind bud, thanks
