nielsm posted:If you want contrast on your film you should develop it harder, and definitely not stand dev it. In particular, increase agitation, and possibly also time. Don't increase temperature, that just makes heavier grain. It might make sense to change dilution on some developers. I got crazy contrast doing regular stand dev but agitating halfway through. YMMV

Has anybody here used ektar for night photography? I'd like to try it out, and I was wondering if somebody had an idea about what sort of steps I should take to correct for reciprocity failure.

Shot some Tri-X 400 at 3200, developed it for 5 minutes in Xtol stock at 28 deg C, expected some massive grain. The result is actually quite fine grain. Everything I thought I knew, is wrong?!

 img018 by Jonathan Taylor, on Flickr Not sure how I feel about this one. I shot it on Portra 400 but didn't like the colors or framing, so I cropped it to 1x1 and made an attempt at a black and white conversion in Lightroom. I burned the background in and dodged the people in the foreground a little but maybe it's too much?

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this since I have no idea about any of this, but recently I found about 20 of these rolls of film at my mom's house from the 80s and early 90s. I have no idea what was on most of them (although some have dates and events written on them, so I have a basic idea). I wanted to get them developed for her as a nice surprise, but it's proving to be difficult. One of the only places in town that I could find that still developed film sent them away for 2 weeks only for them to come back and inexplicably say that the service was not available for this film. First of all, how bullshit is this? From my limited googling it seems to be all the same developing process as other more modern film, but is it possible that a lab wouldn't have the equipment to open the container and get the film out properly? Or did they screw up and just send them back because they're idiots. Second, it's looking more and more like I'm going to have to mail these away to get developed, and if so are there good places to send them that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg. I'm in Canada if that matters. Third, will this likely be worth my time and money? How likely is it that I'll be able to get usable photos out of all of this considering they're from 20-30 years ago and were basically stored in a container in a dresser drawer the whole time.

It's the same C-41 process film as anything else, but most labs these days aren't equipped to handle the (quite tiny) film.

I'm in Canada if that matters. Blue Moon Camera will do it for a pretty nominal fee, so your biggest expense would be a small box and postage. edit: Lomo has some recommendations, too, but like many things Lomo they look quite expensive for what they are. /edit Asiina posted:Third, will this likely be worth my time and money? How likely is it that I'll be able to get usable photos out of all of this considering they're from 20-30 years ago and were basically stored in a container in a dresser drawer the whole time. You'll probably get recognizable results. Kodak consumer-grade film is designed with long shelf-life in mind, and I've developed rolls that have sat around since the mid 1960s in worse conditions (also a dresser drawer, but in South Carolina). That said, I wouldn't expect anything "good" - 110 cameras were usually pretty terrible and the tiny little negatives don't help.

holy hell some old 110 film. I think the lomo crowd still shoots this but I don't know of many places that still develop it here in the states. No idea about Canada. It likely got sent back to you because they just don't have the equipment to develop it since it's a different size of strip of film from 35mm. I would tend to think they are still salvageable, but it's likely going to be at least somewhat costly and you're not guaranteed to get great prints from it.

Thanks for the advice. It looks like this would cost upwards of $600 at a minimum and that's definitely out of my price range. A shame, it would have been nice to get those developed.

If you have 20 rolls of it you should probably try asking for a special quote on getting it developed. I think a big part of the reason they charge much is that they have to do uncommon formats in small batches, but 20 rolls is a reasonably sized batch I'd say.

I have one local shop that I'll try to negotiate some sort of batch price and if that doesn't work I'll probably go with this. Thanks for the suggestions, if I manage to pull this off and anything interesting comes out of it I'll be sure to show it, but I think it'll mostly be snapshots from birthday parties and weddings.

What's the best way to store shot but undeveloped film? I'm going on a shooting trip and will probably come back with several rolls that will take some time to be developed. Where should I keep them, the fridge, the freezer?

I took a stocktake of my mess of a film stash and fixed it all with ziplock bags so I can sleep better: A couple of gems I'd forgotten about, some 35mm Fuji Pro 800z, Adox CHS 100 in 120 and a roll of Rollei Ortho 25 also in 120.

Having some weird problems and I have no idea what I'm doing (both in general and wrong) Most recent roll has about the lower 1/4 significantly lighter than the top 3/4.  (yes, they are supposed to be that underexposed) With previous rolls (TriX, hp5) I'm getting some weird spots. Usually white, and usually on the bottom of the film as well. 120 film Rodinal 1:100 Ilford rapidfixer formulary hypo clear patterson system 4 (2x 135 or 1x 120) It's probabl something incredibly minor that I didn't think of, like the reel has to be higher up on the pole or lower on the pole or upside down or something.
