Why do we take black and white pictures?
I always find it difficult to apply black and white filters to images. Why do people do that? For what reason? The color and image quality increases in the pictures, so why black and white? Do women prefer black and white pictures?

You know those great photos of eyes in TikTok videos. Just those close-up, sharp shots. How does that work? Do I need a professional camera for that?
Looking for a camera recommendation?
ByAGJTheo
Hello, I'm looking for an entry-level camera and recommended accessories. I have zero knowledge of this area and would like to get an entry-level camera for a reasonable price (max. €300-350). For car photos, nature photos, etc.
photos real-time date everywhere?
I once saved a Snapchat picture to my gallery and then changed the date in the gallery so that it was in the correct time. Now, when I go to Instagram or Telegram, the photo is still at the top, but with the date I changed. Does anyone know if I can change this so…
Which iPhone is right for me?
Hello, I'm an Android user and would like to switch to an iPhone. I get along pretty well with iPhones, but I don't know whether I should buy an iPhone from the 14 series or one from the 15 series. I also don't like the colors of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. So…
In principle, you can use any small picture film, also called 135.
In colour films, there has been a worldwide, extreme delivery bottleneck for some time. In drugstores you have to be very lucky to find a color film when the sometimes get a delivery with ~5 pieces that are usually gone the same day. In photo shops one gets more, but not always, even there are already waiting lists with preorders. On the other hand, black and white films are relatively easy, the Agfa APX 400 is found, for example, even at DM, Müller & Co.
If color film, then I would recommend a negative film as a beginner, which is much more tolerant of possible misexposure than diafilms.
Possible candidates would be, for example, Kodak Gold (or Fujifilm 200, is a relabeled Kodak Gold), Fujifilm Superia X-Tra 400 (i.e. Fuji, I like to personally), Kodak Color Plus (cheapy, but qualitatively quite modest, even worse than the gold), or if it may be a bit more expensive the professional films Kodak Portra (it is 160, 400 and 800 ISO) or Ektar. But for the beginning I would take a cheap one to practice and test camera. With time you will find out which movie you like best when you enjoy analog photography.
Buy a small picture at the shop of your trust. Whether it’s Kodak, Fuji, Rossmann, whether it’s dia or negative, whether it’s 24 or 36 images, whether it’s color or SW.

That sounds simple, thanks.
Well, no matter what kind of movie it’s not. If you want to have black and white, color or slide.
SW films are cheapest, but not much more expensive. Both costs in development about 6-8€. The prints are a bit more expensive in colour.
Dia films are from the outset much more expensive and also something in development. You can’t let dia films make deductions so easy. But can project them to the wall with a slide projector.
If you are interested in developing yourself, this is relatively easy with SW Film and with relatively little accessories. Color is a bit more difficult.
But they are still being developed. I thought there were no more movies to develop.
Yeah.
(Kodachrome doesn’t count.)
Thanks for the detailed answer!
Hello
that you can also find on the Internet;
http://www.butkus.org/chinon/cosina/cosina_hi-lite/cosina_hi-lite.htm
From the Hl Lite series there were model variants and the early have a 675 mercury button cell.

To insert an unknown camera, you buy a cheap film to test because for the series 1/1000 to 1 there are already 11 pictures. Where, in fact, 1/1000 to 1/250tel is sufficient, deviations then result in measurable/visible overexposures.
135 small picture (or 35) is the very usual commercial film, which is obtained from various manufacturers and in various designs.
This would have been a relatively easy one if one were actually interested in the topic of analog photography and did it not only because of the coolness factor.
So I’ll give you an important tip: you should look at (either Youtube Tutorials or Read) how such cameras work, otherwise there are novice mistakes that cost you a complete movie.
What’s wrong with finding analog photography cool and interesting? I’m at the beginning and didn’t want to make any mistakes. So my question.
It has confused me that I have read something from 135 and 36 on the Internet, and therefore like to go to number.
Youtube Tutorials I have actually looked, but unfortunately there are few who really start at 0
Doesn’t anyone say it’s miserable, but there’s a difference to really be interested in the subject, or it’s just because it’s trendy. First of all, buying a camera without knowing if you even find film for it, shows me that it’s the latter with you.
