And a couple of the prints!
Perfect! Gorgeous details and textures.
Low key unrelated, but, Fuji Acros is back. Mentioning it as it is one of the finest B&W films, and because I remember @stripes being sad of it being discontinued, so this is good news I think (haven’t tried it yet!). Although I wish they had brought back Neopan 400CN.
Fuji Acros has the best reciprocity for long exposures too!
I wish they bought back Natura 1600 - I have 4 rolls left… and thats the end of it
One of the last shots taken with my Mamiya 7 before I sold it.
Where do y’all like to send film to be developed and scanned? I don’t need anything super high resolution, just want something simple and relatively affordable!
I’ve used Citizens Photo in Portland for almost 20 years. I have no idea if their prices are high or low since I don’t go anywhere else, but it’s a great shop with friendly people. I’ve had everything from 35mm to 8x10 processed there. Can’t attest to their scanning services–I scan my own stuff–but I would imagine they do good digital work as well.
I don’t think I’ve asked this before in the thread, a quick scan says I haven’t, apologies if I have.
Does anyone know where I could get some Kodachrome II 8mm film developed?
I either use PhotoHippo: http://www.photohippo.co.uk or a local shop for my development, but I scan them myself. A good photo scanner pays for itself after about 20 rolls or so
From what I’ve read… I don’t think so. It’s k12 process which has been gone longer than k14 process. Your options at this point are to develop it as black and white or to reconstruct the k14 multi-bath process. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.
Can it be developed as black and white by anyone as D-19, or does it still need to be a special process?
Taken with Lomography cheap plastic fish eye camera bought from a charity shop. double exposure of tree on Hamstead Heath Xmas day. Using Ilford HP5. I re-photographed the print with my phone and cropped.
I was very excited to try out my new yellow filter. In my excitement, I inadvertently loaded my last roll of Superia Xtra 400 thinking it was HP5+. Hey, they both have green on the label, same thing right?
scans came out perhaps a little yellowish
gets an extreme desaturated look when I pull down the yellow slider
converted to b&w
actual b&w shots from the same day for comparison (Arista 400)
I think probably any black and white chemistry will work? I don’t know about the development times. I’ve seen D76 recommended. I found a few different articles on the googlator:
I’ve also seen a couple of places that will process still film. Might be worth calling and asking if they can do super 8
I use https://www.photo-express.co.uk/ - just get the negatives scanned, attempt to scan the first of them, get demoralised by how hard it is to keep dust/cat hairs out of the scanner, put aside to finish the whole ‘scanning loads of photos’ project at a later date
Do you know of anywhere in the UK that does B&W for decent prices? Self-development has resulted in two rolls being lost and I’d like to process the rest of what I have before giving it another go with some test shots.
I process my own but I’ve had colour film done at these two labs - they do B&W too! https://www.ag-photolab.co.uk/
I did a search for labs and there are a lot offering processing but the above two are probably the ones I would go for every time. Matt at AG is active on film forums and Peak have been established a long time.
First time shooting black and white. Ilford HP5 pushed to 800, Nikkormat FT2, Nikkor-S Auto 50mm 1.4, and Nikkor-N Auto 24mm 2.8.
Really loved the experience of not needing to worry about color but only light, contrast, and composition. Many of the shots I took, I would have never taken were I shooting color film.
Thanks! I think I’ll give AG a try!
