@@ordinary.american.beauty thank you! Very much so.

I hope you’re able to find one. I have not seen one of those before.

Now days I would say Canva is a very easy to use and viable option

Glad you found it helpful!!

I’m so glad to hear that! Glad it was beneficial for you. Thank you for sharing.

That could very well be true. But from my experience on many a CLA and repair with Youxin his work has stood for itself.

How wonderful! I’m sure you will enjoy it. If I were to make the video again today I would take a more pleased route toward the CL. It really is a great camera.

The company I went through for printing was able to die cut the rounded corners. The cover design was done in photoshop if I remember correctly. It’s been a while. Glad you found the video helpful

I’m glad you enjoyed it.

I meter by eye not off the meter in the camera, so I can manipulate exposure to be consistent with 1600 iso rather than 400 iso. Gives me faster shutter speed and more depth of field to work with. Plus the contrast and grain addition that comes when pushing film stocks. All of which is to my visual preference. Hope that helps.

I’m happy it’s served you well

If you hit your focus correctly it wont matter if youre at f4 or f22 the plane of film will not be any more in focus either way. You can expand that focus plane as much as you want and it wont change anything with the film strip being so thin.

@@NickExposed i mean softness on the edges

@@zarrir definitely depends on the lens. Ideally yes get a bright enough light table and scan at f8-f16 to utilize the full capacity of the optics you are working with. With my setup at f4-f5.6 I don’t notice any issues at the edges.

I’m so glad to hear that!

What a great comment. Thank you! So happy to know the videos are serving the community still a few years later!

His services are still worth it

That’s wonderful. I hope you enjoy that.

What can I say, I like to hear myself talk. Thanks for enduring the the video. Hopefully you found helpful info among the torrent of fluff and prattle. Cheers

I prefer the Lloyd’s for sure. You can’t go wrong either way though. Plenty of people using both.

Did you ask them to print a Zine or a staple bound booklet? That makes a big difference.

@@NickExposed I asked for a zine... It's the only place in my area that develops film, and does photo printing and photo books....

@@RobertCooperTheGallery when going through print shops always ask for a stable bound booklet. Zine language tends to up the charge despite them being the same thing.

As simple as I could make it 😅 to be fair InDesign is not necessarily a simple program, but it is effective. So I tried my best.

I do have a playlist on the channel entitled how to sell your photography that should help out a bit. It was geared toward selling prints, but the concepts apply just the same to zines. Hope that helps

The brass can dent pretty easy but absorbs the shock of a fall real well

That was through Leica themselves? That’s surprising

Limited darkroom accessibility in a small apartment meant I had to save my darkroom time for my exhibition work. Fair point on showing the negatives. Thanks for the input

​@@NickExposed not saying this to be a film snob BTW. I don't think everyone wants to wet print and it's fine. In the darkroom, negatives don't lie ahah.

For my first zine I used a satin finish paper. Not sure the weight of it at this point it’s been many years. For my second zine I had them use just standard copy paper to go with the overall intent of the zine to look like a notebook. Hope that helps.

thank you! your work is amazing@@NickExposed

@@catarinaqueiroz6855 thank you so much! Very encouraging to hear!

Thank you so much, Erik!

indesign was my program of choice. I have a video describing my simple process kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nTZHeMndGXbNE

If you are doing just staple bound they make booklet staplers that would work well with 17 sheets. Otherwise, if you are truly stitching then getting some good leatherworking stitching tools would set you up well. They don't have to be expensive, just proper tools. Find a heavy gauge thread in the color you like and experiment with a couple different stitching patterns to see which one suits your project best. A video like this could help you out kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4irnIxrn7Sip68

Unfortunately I’m not versed in indesign enough to give you any help here.

@@NickExposed thanks

Haha that’s one I’ve never heard before! I’ll take it!

That’s a great point! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for the kind words

It’s not for everyone. Thank you for the kind words though!

Hey Reuben, it should all still be very relevant. Finding a local shop and asking for a small run of staple-bound booklets should still be the cheapest way to go 80% of the time. Plus, it has extra benefits like print proofs, connection to the employees, no shipping fees, etc. Hope that helps

I’m very happy it’s helped! Good luck on the project. Congrats on moving forward with your first zine!

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

I know it. Aren’t the prices tragic these days.

I do miss mine. It’s a great tank of a camera!

@@NickExposed I still have two, though I never use them any more

@@cameraprepper7938 how great to still have them!! You should break one out and put a roll through it. Would be a great joy!

@@NickExposed No, I will never ever use analog film again, because of all the chemicals, but I do handle my old Cameras now and then for fun and nostalgia, I wish that there was new Cameras today in the quality as the Canon New F-1

@@cameraprepper7938 I can understand that. It’s nice to have them to handle every now and then I suppose. How great would it be if someone started putting out digital backs for these old work horses.

It is very unfortunate how the industry has declined since my making this video.

Happy you find it helpful!

Yea I can imagine different regions carry different pricing or scarcity. Hopefully as you hunt around you might find a good option.

Thank you for the kind words! Im glad the video has helped you out!!

there are many to be chosen from, and a quick google search would give you a very large selection to choose from, however I would suggest going through a local print shop if you can, because it will give you more control over the printing process, and most likely a better cost. I have another video on the channel that is all about this subject as well, where to print your zine at. Hope that helps

Unfortunately I am not very well versed, I simply know enough to get my projects done 😅. I hope you might be able to find another video helping you in this area.

Thank you so much! And yes, its beautifully contrasty!

He's still one of the best in the industry. I still send equipment to him every year for service.
