Hand-signed by the person who put it together back in the day. Graphite seems a bit risky around electronics.

A keyboard engineered before 1989, manufactured around 1992 I think

Hall effect switches, tinned copper traces, TESLA ICs...

Just noticed that the camera has a dead pixel.

Basically the same photo. Just taken with a Canon PowerShot SX120 from around 2011
I could close the aperture down if it wasn't cloudy and have more of the cameras in focus.

But still nicer to see natural blur of a camera than my phone's AI trying to un-blur the image.

I keep forgetting how horrible my "flagship" phone is at taking photos.

This seems to sum up my mainly used cameras pretty well.

I don't think it's going to change much in the next bunch of years. Mirrorless is still extra expensive to switch to.

Even though SLT is already kind of mirrorless.

Sony A 18-200 aps-c lens, Sony Alpha a58 with Minolta 50mm AF lens, Minolta Alpha 7xi with the AF 28-105 xi lens, Exakta Varex IIa (1956?) with the Zeiss Biotar 58/2 lens

This is a clean dog. He's allowed to go there.

Even tried applying for the job they have listed but they only want people with years of experience in a commercial lab. Got refused because they don't want interns even if I have some experience with scanners and already operated industrial machinery with chemicals.

I might try scanning it myself and see if there is any difference. I noticed the physical prints don't look so green and the dullness of red is also weaker.

I tried to talk with the owner of the lab but he refuses to share any details to curious people.

more stuff

Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · Sep 19

I haven't shared anything I took on Harman Phoenix II yet.
Everything dark is green for some reason.

Feels more expired than my photos taken on expired Fuji Superia

Yeah mine have almost unnoticeable grain. I've had fresh film come out from developing with much more grain(Phoenix II 200)

Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · Sep 19

I seem to have a few small holes in my shutter curtain.
The biggest spot shows up in photos sometimes. But it takes almost a minute with an uncovered lens for it to appear visibly.

Lenny @ln37emp.bsky.social · Sep 19

Film was expired Agfa Vista Plus 200

The lab report has that written.
The only thing I see is a slight increase in grain in dark areas.

Severe signs of expiration would be a complete color shift.
