I just made the rookie mistake of not pressing the quick release button on my camera, so I got little bunches of film on my floor. I hope that doesn't affect my grade. What film? I've never heard of film stronger than the locked spool. Shredded sprocket holes will make it very difficult to load onto the reel for the developing tank, but maybe you could develop it in a tray?

I"m using tri-x 400tx black and white film, and a old pentax k1000 camera. its what the school had to rent and the film that"s available at the school.

So last night I decided to just dive head-first into film and ordered a Pentax ME Super w/ a 50mm f/2 lens. What are some good rolls/brands to shoot with for a newbie?

Run a roll of cheap drug store film through it first in case you mess up the operation somehow.

 Good Morning by atomicthumbs, on Flickr portra 400 is nice for landscapes once you go bigger than 645  The Boat Shack by atomicthumbs, on Flickr  4683 by atomicthumbs, on Flickr and Acros is, as always, fantastic

Ewww, I heard that BW processing kodachrome was pretty messy, the advice was to rinse the loving poo poo out of it. (Which I guess you tried to do).

 So, I shot my first sheets of Provia 100F. Unfortunately didn't do my research and I didn't use any filters with fluorescent lights. Anybody got tips on saving the colours here? I got a mixed situation, daylight coming on from the windows (ie the blue parts) and fluorescent lights lighting the rest.

In mixed lighting you either have to pick one thing to color correct for or do some fanc y masking on curves layers. I think it looks alright as is. You could try dialing in a little magenta to offset the green of the FL and and a tiny bit of yellow to warm up the window light, if it really bothers you.

Yeah, that was after about 5 minutes of nonstop rinsing, and another 10 minutes after that still didn't get it all off. Might just need to let it soak in detergent or something at this point. 8th-samurai posted:Oh god now I want to shoot up the rest of the Kodachrome in my freezer and colorize it. See what you started, you monster. I don't recommend it. If you do do it make sure you shoot stuff with really contrasting colors to help out (none of this was really "colorized", this was just inverting and messing with the curves like you normally wood when scanning film, and horrible horrible things coming out as a result). If you have more than one roll I'd use one a test roll too, take a bunch of shots in varied situations with notes on each, and then develop (I did mine for 10 minutes with hc110 diluted to B), and see what works and what doesn't (I have a few shots where there's just flat out no shadow detail, for example)  kodachrome024.jpg by MrDespair, on Flickr  kodachrome011.jpg by MrDespair, on Flickr

I think I'm all in on black and white when I use film, developing it is pretty drat simple too, I don't even know why I thought it was hard in the first place. Here's some from my 2nd roll: Bride by jemuelb, on Flickr  Edge of Development by jemuelb, on Flickr

I just bought an EOS-3 to get back into film. It's been 10+ years since I've shot film and will be the first time I hope to shoot anything other than B&W. I picked up a roll of Velvia 100, Portra 160 and Iford 100, 400 and 3200 to get started. As much as I would like to develop the B&W myself, right now I can't. Assuming there isn't a lab locally where can I send my film.

How does velvia 100 compare to velvia 50? I just ordered a box of 4x5 velvia 50. I cannot wait to shoot some of that this summer.

aliencowboy posted:Velvia 100 is discontinued, so if you're going to try it, try it soon. I think that's only Velvia 100F, which is slightly less saturated than 100. That's not saying a whole lot, since 100 can wind up like having molten candy colors poured directly into your retinas, but there you go.

I just got my first two photos printed! Something weird happened to my paper though, because the edges are just black, they almost look like I took a lighter to them. I believe they might have been exposed to light prematurely but I'm not sure. When I go back to school tomorrow and get a hold of a scanner I'll upload them.

Cheap Kodak Gold, cheap Craigslist Petri 7 rangefinder, lovely Rite-Aid developing.  by voodoorootbeer, on Flickr 24 by voodoorootbeer, on Flickr Not sure if it's the film or the developing that's so heavy on the magenta. I'm probably going to switch back to drugstore Fuji Superia for my cheapo film of choice. There's some other weirdness on the roll that makes me wonder if the shutter is working correctly... at least I'm only out $15 for the camera.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you're bound to gently caress things up worse if you try to clean a focusing screen with anything more than a rocket blower.

HPL posted:If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you're bound to gently caress things up worse if you try to clean a focusing screen with anything more than a rocket blower. THIS. I have cleaned one as a last resort with some 90% isopropyl alcohol and some pec-pads because I'm loving retarded and I accidentally touched the matte region. It came out OK, but I had to try several times before the alcohol didn't dry and leave some awful looking pattern in the matte. I'm convinced I just got lucky in eventually getting a passable result. I don't recommend trying this unless it's a last resort. I was basically in "gently caress it, I would have to replace it otherwise" territory.

Feeling pretty drat good right now. My first home-developed roll of B&W film is hanging up to dry at the moment. I was so stoked when I saw those images as I pulled it off the reel. Just posting this photo so maybe some of you can remember that feeling from your first times too. It's pretty awesome.  This is also my first roll through the Konica II rangefinder my dad gave me recently. It'd belonged to his dad and my dad used it when he traveled the world before settling in the US. It has a lot of family history, so I'm elated that the kinda sluggish/iffy mechanical-only shutter still managed to produce some apparently well-exposed images. Totally different shooting experience from my EOS 3 and EOS RT. Really digging it. I cannot wait to run this thing through my film scanner!
