The above segment happens to miss some of the best parts, which are the news anchor’s intro and the weather guy’s reaction. Here’s my edit that includes them:
CBC, a national news network in Canada, visited me the other day to look at the camera. Here’s the segment from the news stream on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=rjWiQP…
Looks like Gingerbread 2 went beyond the internet — cable TV!
I’m having a little trouble finding the manual for this camera myself.
It may be easier for you to try hitting the “SET” button and then cycle through modes to see if you can set the clock via trial and error. That’s what I did.
Just remember that when it shows -- -- --, it won’t print anything on your film (i.e., it’s off).
hi! Just got an LT-1 camera for myself. Anywhere where I could find the user manual? I am only able to find it for the LT-1 Zoom, but not the LT-1 which is the one I have. I want to be able to program the quartztime correctly and know what the different modes are. Thanks!
Sorry to disappoint you, but I only know how to test these cameras. My solution at the time was to send the camera back to the seller for a refund.
If you can’t do that, you may still find a repair shop. I would not recommend attempting to fix a point-and-shoot camera from that era at home, even if you’ve fixed cameras before. These are some of the most complex and intricate devices out there, on par with laptops and smartphones.
I own a tiara mini and I face the same problem is shown on video, due to this the camera overexposes. Do you have any idea what is the issue and what to fix? I have opened the whole case and gained access to the internal of the camera but all are very packed and I don’t know where to dig in.
Thanks for this informative piece on a little known camera (at least to me). I got mine as part of a large auction lot of cameras and lenses and I really wasn’t expecting much from this camera but was super impressed with the sharpness of the lens when I got my test roll shots back. I’ll definitely be keeping this one. Best regards, Mark
Thanks for the informative review about this relatively unknown camera (at least to me). I got mine as part of a bigger auction lot of cameras and lenses, so I got it for less than nothing lol, and tbh, I really wasn’t expecting much from it. When I developed my test roll of Ilford Pan F 50 I was really pleasantly surprised at just how sharp the photos were, even on a very overcast, snowy day. I shot it in full manual mode so I haven’t tried out the shutter priority/battery mode, but I’m definitely going to keep this little tank. :-) Best regards, Mark
I’ve got 10 rolls sitting in front of me now. I have plans over the weekend to do some panoramic night/blue hour long exposures with it. Should be interesting!
NOTE: I’ve noticed that the amount of dough this recipe makes is entirely too much to create the model. You can safely HALF THE INGREDIENTS and still have spare dough remaining.
In the above video, Harman engineers also explained that their film’s speed is *mathematically* ISO 123.5. However, the box speed is ISO 200, based on the feedback they got from photographers who tested it at multiple speeds.
I just watched Grainydays’ video on this film, and it struck me (which should’ve been obvious): it was based on Ilford XP2 emulsion! (XP2 review: analog.cafe/r/ilford-xp2-s…)
A little upset I didn’t immediately realize this when I saw the leaked photos of the film boxes. But of course, this makes all the sense in the world.
I’m also pleased to see the young scientists that made it possible. There’s an ongoing fear in the film photography community that the knowledge we accumulated over the past 200 years about making film is leaving us with the retiring population of scientists and engineers who were at the forefront of the production up until the 2010s. Apparently, there’s no shortage of smart young people ready to do it all again, even if it means re-inventing film for the new age.
Now that Harman Phoenix 200 has officially launched, I’d like to comment on its dynamic range: it’s extremely narrow!
It’s almost as narrow as that of the notorious Kodak Aerochorme — an extremely expensive and rare infrared film (analog.cafe/r/kodak-aeroch…).
Though I haven’t tried this film yet, I can tell from the characteristic curves in the datasheet by Harman (emulsive.org/wp-content/up…) that Phoenix has just 5 stops of dynamic range. The samples taken with this film confirm what I predicted about it yesterday (analog.cafe/comments/3nj8) — it is an extremely contrasty film.
This means that metering for shadows will not work with Phoenix 200. In fact, shooting it in full sun may not be the best idea — instead, places with soft light or a dynamic range of no more than 7-10 stops would work best. See my guide “How to Make Perfect Exposures on Film” for more: analog.cafe/r/how-to-make-…
Of course, reading graphs and watching others’ samples of the film is not the same as experiencing it first-hand. I’ll be doing that shortly and comparing it to other films, including Ilford Ilfocolor 400 — made by an entirely different company (analog.cafe/comments/3nj8)
It appears that someone had leaked the entire datasheet for this film.
I’m happy that no one published the samples yet as they would reveal the most important part of this [unconfirmed] film product.
Nevertheless, from the datasheet, I can already tell that it will be a narrow dynamic range film (about 5 stops) with low blue colour sensitivity.
The negatives will have no mask and thus some scanners or scanner software may struggle with it. There are ways to vert negatives by hand (analog.cafe/r/how-to-inver…) if that becomes a problem.
