What resolution? Can you show us a 100% crop? I get their scans of the 35mm my girlfriend shoots and they're always fine. It's possible something unusual happened - give them a call!

100%: After further review, it's only the 35mm that looks this way and the 120 is fine. Resolution is 3091x2048 (short side of medium format rolls is also 2048). I planned on calling them before I send in any more rolls but I wanted to make sure I knew what the poo poo I was talking about first.

I'm shopping for darkroom supplies. What're the best bottles/containers to mix powdered stuff in and to store it in?

I recently got my first camera without an aperture priority mode, but it still has a DOF preview. Should I be metering off my DOF? My gut says yes, but the fact that the button itself was not super common makes me question that.

My gut says yes, but the fact that the button itself was not super common makes me question that. Which camera is it specifically? Most cameras with TTL metering have a coupling between the lens and the body that basically says "Hey, I'm actually stopped down a little bit from wide open, so please adjust your meter reading by so many stops to compensate."

A Pentax km, which is basically a K1000 with a DOF button.

Huxley posted:A Pentax km, which is basically a K1000 with a DOF button. As long as it's an "automatic" lens then no you don't need to meter with the DOF button depressed, thsi is called "stop down metering" btw. Some older lenses which might be labeled "manual" or "preset" would need to to use this method but nothing of the same vintage as the KM.

Finished shooting my first roll of Portra. Now to find a place that still develops film (3 nearby CVSs have laughed at me). I think there's a camera store nearby that does it a couple days of the week.

I recently moved to Lansing, MI and there doesn't seem to be a photo lab here. What by-mail services do people recommend? I only want the film developed, 120 and 35mm.

That's not bad. If I ever try slide film I might send it to them. I ended up going with the camera store here that does it for 5 bux, but only a couple of days a week.

Anyone know of a place that will do proof print/scans of my color rolls? I saw some in Instagram...just little few inch long prints per photo. Could be fun to do. Maybe citizens?

Lots of dust to clean up, but the colors and stuff came out pretty good. This was with the T70 and Portra 400. I used the levels method from that video to convert the negative.

So this is kind of annoying. 10 pictures in the middle of my roll came out black, and then there's once frame with like 1/3 of a picture. I'm guessing the shutter got stuck closed?

I spent 2-3 hours last night scanning that roll and really trying hard to get the colors right, just to see if I was physically capable of doing it. Guess not. That makes me want to just sell all my film stuff and stick to letting Fuji handle my JPGs. Or I guess just shoot BW. What a bummer.

Quantum of Phallus posted:They are very green. What screen are you on? They look the same to me on my home PC, my work Mac, and my iPad. I think the issue is I'm RG colorblind. I just literally don't see the green or magenta when it's there or when it's gone. I did color negative scans as well and compared them and they looked pretty much the same to me. What's the best way to remove a green cast that I can't see? I can at least do that and re-upload to flickr.

You can always shoot black and white if you have trouble seeing colors.  Or maybe get a gray card?

I do think having a neutral target like a gray card could help you. Just picking a neutral-ish for gray helps a lot.
