I'm going to purchase what's on the list from the list from http://chromogenic.net/develop + a small changing bag to get started on developing film instead of that amazon list. Is there anything else I should know about?

8th-samurai posted:Well now seems like a good time to go over B&W film developing. I only use one B&W film, Tri-X, because it's so versatile. You can shoot it at an EI from 50 to 12,800 and get acceptable negatives. Sure they are a bit grainy and contrasty but I'm in that. I suggest you mess around and find one film you like then stick with it until you know everything about it. Wait I'm confused. I'm developing my first ever two reels today, and your HC1110 solution is 1:63, the solution I'm using. Isn't B Solution 1:31? Apparently 1:62 is called H solution, doubling the time of using B, but you're using the time for B. So is the Dev chart actually listing H solution (it says B) or are you using half the time?

8th-samurai posted:I use 7 minutes for dilution B. It's pretty much accepted that kodak's published times for tri-x in HC-110 are too short. I have heard of people using as short as 5 mins in B but 7 mins is what works for me. Okay whew. I thought I developed it for twice as long as necessary, thanks for the tutorial.

Should it matter if I scan to tiff files? Would I have more flexibility scanning a raw?

I was hoping you'd say that, I really hate the fact that I can't preview NEF files. Edit:

Why are these medium format rangefinders thousands of dollars?

I'm looking for some rangefinders now, something along the lines of Olympus 35rc. Any suggestions? edit I'm wishing that they can look as  as a black m5. Probably not.

Developed my first reel in a year last night, super excited. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/art/1256559892.html Is this a good idea at all? 400' for $40, but it's motion picture. It probably doesn't matter, but I'm not quite sure if it's a good deal I should pick up on?

Oh good call! I'll ask about what process type it is. I don't have bulk loading, but I think it's about the time to buy some, a Watson model off ebay or freestyle. Would it be a big problem since it's 400' and the loader accepts only 100'? I guess I'd have to unravel and cut it..

Reichstag posted:Colour motion picture stock needs to be developed differently than standard c-41, and unless you have a decent amount of disposable income and live near one of the few labs that can process it, I wouldn't recommend trying it (as much as I wish I could shoot it). Gnomad posted:If it's like the film Seattle Film Works was using, it's going to be hard to get developed because of the coating that clogs C41 machines and the contrast might be sort of flat. Research would be critical.

Is this a good deal? http://salem.craigslist.org/pho/2071059878.html I was looking towards buying an RZ67, are there going to be some noticable differences in picture quality?

Are you kidding? That looks gorgeous. Where do you learn how to do that?

Well gently caress me, I forgot how expensive it was to develop E-6. My local place, Citizens, is 8 bones for 36 exp. Any mail in-service that are cheaper?

dukeku posted:Citizens is totally my favorite lab. Nice dudes working there. Reichstag posted:Not really. And yeah, Citizen's (Portland, right?) is pretty spendy. Unfortunately, while it is an hour away from me, it's still the closest place for me to get my 4x5 developed. What's the scanner favorite these days? A few years ago it was the V500 or 4490. Has anything been improved upon? I need a scanner! Not now, but in the coming months. The other option I'm thinking about is just buying an old scanner for snapshots and have it drum scanned if I choose to print a project. porcellus fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Aug 6, 2011 |

penneydude posted:Well I shot a couple of rolls of that motion picture film I bought - Kodak Vision 3 500T to be precise. I'll probably ship it out to the dude in Ohio I found that's willing to process it and post some scans when it comes back in a couple of weeks. Cool. I've always wanted to do that, curious and excited to see the results. With what camera did you shoot it with, did you have the entire length of film in your camera...? Any surprises along the way?
