why the 35mm 50mm f/1.4 lenses are overrated for low-light film photography

tbh i think 135 is overhyped for low light rn i use a canon 50mm f/1.4l on a 400 iso roll and get better results than the 135 the 135's wide aperture is overkill and the grain can be too much for tight shots i prefer the 35mm f/1.4 on 24mm film for that instant dim vibe anyone else feel the same?? lol

Cheap Film Redemption?

Loaded up that discount store 35mm again today. Braced for another waste of time... and got three keepers. Still looks like trash at ISO 800 but hey, $3 for three decent frames? My fancy pro-X reels better not forget how to develop. Anyone else treating film like a bet and winning?

35mm vs 120 Medium Format: Which is better for home decor photography?

If you're trying to decide between 35mm and 120 medium format for shooting interiors, here's a breakdown.

  1. Image Quality • 120 offers larger negatives (6x6 or 6x7) → more detail, smoother grain, better dynamic range. • 35mm (135) gives 24x36mm – still sharp, but grain is more pronounced at high ISO.

  2. Depth of Field • Medium format’s larger sensor gives a shallower DOF, useful for isolating subjects. • 35mm’s DOF is deeper, so you can keep more of the room in focus without a tripod.

  3. Portability & Workflow • 35mm cameras are compact, easier to carry around a house. • 120 cameras are bulkier, but the film rolls (e.g., 12 exposures) reduce reloads.

  4. Cost & Availability • 35mm film and cameras are cheaper, and you can find 135 in most stores. • 120 film is pricier; lenses are often vintage and harder to source.

  5. Practical Tips for Home Decor • If you want a quick shoot with minimal gear, 35mm is the way to go. • For high‑resolution, studio‑style shots where you can set up a tripod, medium format shines.

Bottom line: pick 35mm for speed and versatility, or medium format when you need the ultimate detail and can afford the extra gear. Which one will you try first? ...
