Neopan 1600 @ 3200 isn't that bad, seems best at 1200-1600 in my experience. Delta 3200 at 3200 has given me some pretty unexpectedly good results, good shadow detail, i think in tmax developer? maybe xtol...

Yeah but it's locked to only let you overexpose when you're set to 1600, so you can't go any higher. I'll see what I can do with what I have.

I'll probably cross-post this in the camera stuff megathread in sa-mart eventually, but would any of you guys be interested in buying some kodachrome 64 off of me? I've got 5 rolls, cold stored, 4 rolls expire in November of this year, one in July. I have no idea what to list the price as or anything, but I'm sure I'd be cool with making offers / splitting it up and stuff. I figure someone here would do a better job with it than me.

I'm in the wrong decade. It seems there's only one lab in Portland that will even do sheet film, and their E-6 machines are only run a few times a week. I bet I could get same-day E-6 sheet film processing on a Saturday if I lived in the 80s...

There's like 2 or 3 places in LA that do E-6 and even then, it's only once a week. I'd figure there'd at least be more volume in a place like here...but no

Shot a roll of Neopan 1600 last night, and finished off some XP2 that was in the camera. My mate shot a roll of Ilford 3200 at 1600, and Ilford 400 at 1600. It'll be interesting to compare the 3.

As far as I can tell, there's one guy in all of Wisconsin that does E6, and only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Prices are reasonable though, about in line with the Walmart send-out service.

The only lab I could find locally is actually about a 30-40 minute drive away. On the plus side, they have some of the cheapest rates for 4x5 E-6 film I've seen, and it's one day (in by 1pm, out by 5pm). C-41 they only do twice per week though.

I really love the 4x5 large format Kodachrome gallery over at Shorpy.com. But when I asked myself the question what I loved so much about the pictures, I found it was mostly three things: 1. The detail (no surprise with LF film really) 2. The colors 3. The weird "glow" these pictures seemed to have that made everything look really smooth and matte. And when I looked more closely, I discovered that they did in fact have a glow effect. It can be seen very well in the "Heavy lifting: 1942" picture.  So, my question is: What caused that glow? (and how can I recreate it for digital pictures?) unleash the unicorn fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Jan 30, 2010 |

I bought a random off-brand tank for class. I'm pretty sure it's a clone of the "AP" tanks that Adorama/Freestyle sell. Does anyone know if the reels from this tank will fit into the Paterson tanks? Micromanaging multiple tanks for doing a bunch of 120 is tremendously  and Paterson makes a 5 reel (3x120) tank that's tempting.I have this (or close) This is a Paterson reel Paul MaudDib fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jan 30, 2010 |

But when I asked myself the question what I loved so much about the pictures, I found it was mostly three things: It could be a lot of things, most likely it is a result of low resolution/poor scanning. To recreate I would duplicate the layer and apply a gaussian blur then fiddle with blending modes and opacity, though I don't really see the appeal.

It could be the lenses; on RFF a number of people prefer shooting with the old Leica screw mount lenses for a supposed "Leica glow". I've seen some side-by-side comparisons and there does seem to be a glow in shots from the old Leica lenses compared with modern ones, but like you it doesn't really appeal to me.

Ugh I have trouble loading film into the sprocket and when I develop them sometimes I get a complete black picture (was it because the films stuck to each other?) It's weird that the first time I developed film I was extra nervous and cautious but the film turned out ok. The 2nd and 3rd time I had splotches of undeveloped film in the centre of the roll or the beginning. What did I do wrong? Are films not suppose to touch each other at all? And one big issue I have with putting the film into the canister is that there seems to be never enough space to load all the film... Can some one give me some pointers? thanks!

caberham posted:Ugh I have trouble loading film into the sprocket and when I develop them sometimes I get a complete black picture (was it because the films stuck to each other?) What kind of reels are you using? If you haven't, sacrifice a roll of film (or use a poorly developed uncut one)and practice loading it 15 times in the light. Don't stop after the first few. You should be able to start getting a feel for if it is in the tracks correctly or skipping it. Edit: No, the film is not supposed to touch itself. This prevents the chemicals from reaching it, leading to blank un-developed frames.

If you can, get Hewes brand reels. The difference is worth the extra cost. It will pay for itself in film not wasted and frustration not experienced.

Yeah, I was wondering more if it was overrated on the box. Delta 3200 is like that. You can get 3200 out of it if you push develop. If you just chuck it in a non-accelerating developer it's like 800-1200 or something. Paul MaudDib posted:I bought a random off-brand tank for class.

Thanks for the advice, I'm using a patterson super system 4 film development tank. I guess I'm using a patterson reel? Film supplies are hard to get in my area so I'm going to sacrifice the cheapest brand of film and just practice loading the film into the reel.

I've been shooting and developing P3200 recently and my negatives have been extremely dark. I don't mean the picture area, the whole strip of film is dark. Is that how it's supposed to look, or did I screw up the development process somehow? Or did four separate factory-loaded canisters' worth of film get exposed to light?

AP reels fit in Paterson tanks just fine. The only downside is that they're a little looser on the tube thingy than Paterson ones do, so they may slide around a bit. I usually get around this by putting the AP reels on first, then a Paterson reel on the top.

Just got my test roll of Velvia 100 back from the lab, looks phenomenal, glad I've got 19 more rolls to bring with me on my trip. Unfortunately, scanning it really reveals the inadequacy of my scanner. Quite a few frames are obviously not overexposed when you look at the slide, plenty of detail in the highlights, but scan terribly.  Both taken with a Nikon Ftn, metered with a Gossen Luna-pro.

Would anyone recommend the Canon Canoscan 8800F as a good 35mm slide scanner? I have about 3000 slides that need to be scanned and that is starting to look like the best one for the value.

When I get back I may just not get anything processed for a bit, then when I've got the money take it all to a lab with a Noritsu and have them do it.
