Looks like a piece of grit in the film transport somewhere. It doesn't look like a hot scanner pixel. Check your negative and see if there's a scratch visible in the finish. Also, condolences on your purchase of a 35mm SLR that is not a Pentax ME.

It looks like something's dragging across the film when you're advancing it. Is there something sticking out in the back that might be scratching the film? EDIT: Crap, beaten.

Not that I can see, no. I don't have the film with me now to check, but I looked in the camera under a good light and can't see anything that would have caused it. I'm assuming it could also be the cheapo Walgreens processing?

Bottom Liner posted:... I'm assuming it could also be the cheapo Walgreens processing? It's possible. I've had rolls of film come back from the local camera shop with ridiculously deep scratches that took forever to clean up digitally. I've had different kinds of scratches appear on two different rolls recently, so I'm pretty sure it's not something dragging along the film path. Poorly maintained minilab, perhaps? You could shoot a cheapo roll and try another lab.

Yeah that's a scratch, scanning artifacts would be straighter. Even if you don't see anything in the camera you should clean any bits that touch film. Frankly with 35mm the grit could have been in the light trap on the canister so there is no way of knowing exactly what did it. Just don't use the camera for anything important until you shoot a test roll (LOL important photos on 35mm).

I wasn't paying attention and loaded a roll of Superia 200 thinking it was Portra 400 and shot it at 1600. Is this even going to be worth developing?

Ugh. The Freestyle plastic reusable film canisters are trash. The felt light seal isn't fixed to the opening in any way, just seems to be loged in there with pressure. I pulled one of the felt linings into the canister rewinding it. Need to buy some proper metal reusable canisters.

 The Noble Bird by atomicthumbs, on Flickr rollei retro 80s is pretty nice, and if you have a lab develop it for you, their machine somehow makes it not curly so it's not an ordeal to get it into the film holder for scanning.

Great photo. I tell them not to cut it usually, so mine are curly regardless. I usually flatten the strips I cut under 40-50lbs of books before I try scanning.

Check out this: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2864270&userid=161579&perpage=40&pagenumber=2#post389907786 It's very easy and can be done at room temp, but a sink full of hot water and some containers will do the trick. As for the home cross processing, you might need to either pull the film (eg shoot 100 ISO film at 50) and develop as described in the instructions for the kit, or push process (which I wouldn't recommend as c41 and e6 are standardised processes, and its a bit hit and miss to successfully push process at home). But, check up on APUG or whatever to find out properly, I only remember reading about that in passing. And you can can usually get 15 rolls or so out of a 1 litre kit.

So uh. I've been drooling after getting a DSLR for a long time, but its a hobby I've put off a dozen times over because of the $ cost and just stuck to reading books and looking at cameras. Then today I was messing around on ebay and I ended up buying a Minolta X-370S along with a 28-70mm macro lens, RMC Tokina 80-200mm lens, and a soft case for $10. I definitely lack the space to set up any sort of darkroom to do my own development and the only local camera place (a Ritz) shutdown a while back and isn't on the list of stores that might re-open. Are walgreens/CVS/Eckerds worth taking my film to be developed at? Or is there a site I can use to help me find other local film/camera shops?

You don't need a darkroom to do black and white development, just printing. All you need for developing is a changing bag to load film into a daylight-safe developing tank. You can then either scan the negatives yourself or have Walgreens/CVS/Eckerds do it for you.

A bit of basic searching leads me to JOBO for tanks and Bower for changing bags. the JOBO tanks seem expensive, but I'm not 100% on what exactly I'd need in a tank.

The JOBO tanks are for a rotary processor, you want just a simple manual tank: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/91216-Arista-Stainless-Steel-Tank-16-oz.-with-PVC-Top?cat_id=1603 and a couple reels http://www.freestylephoto.biz/140135-Hewes-Pro-Stainless-Steel-Reel-35mm-Reel?cat_id=1603 You can get generic reels, but the Hewes are worth the extra cost IMO.

Stainless vs. plastic is a matter of personal preference - you load them slightly differently, as well. Since I never develop more than 2-3 rolls in an evening, I don't care about the fact that plastic reels have to be bone dry to avoid problems loading, and since I shoot 120 I appreciate how the plastic reels ratchet to load.

gently caress plastic, one tiny spot of imperceptible moisture and you wrinkle or tear your film. It's stupid. Hewes reels are every bit as easy to load as a plastic reel.
