minivanmegafun posted:wait apparently they're not competent enough to do that quote:The darkroom has had a bit of history of being non-functional for most of its life. I think the last time anyone used the room for photo development was about 6 months ago. It has multiple light leaks, lacking in proper chemicals, and also has this inherent problem that the majority of people using it didn't respect the space enough to allow it to be functional for the next person planning to use it. There were a few occasions will people who were active in the darkroom list had a couple rolls of film get destroyed because no one communicated that they botched up the developer mix.

in fact the only time i remember seeing non-professional photographers work with medium format was when soviet 120mm cameras got really cheap on ebay ebay was a really new and wild thing at the time

E.g. things like those old Kodak vest pocket cameras shot on 6x7 iirc

I've never understood how disc film was designed for economy but they had to cut big circles of material to make it my family had a disc camera, it might have been that one

atomicthumbs posted:film is actually the technically superior medium and will be for at least the next decade for a given size of image capture medium, digital is technically superior. you can get a digital slr with a 135-size sensor that will resolve 36 actual megapickles given a good enough lens. you can't achieve that resolution with 135 film, except maybe with tech pan or something else that's equally slow (ASA 6 iirc) and out or production. however if you just want the highest resolution image period yes you can scan an 8x10 negative at hundreds of megapixels before you run into grain limitation. so go out and buy yourself a view camera

film does do better with blown out highlights than digital but digital does better at recovering images from shadows so it's all a wash
