Analog film photography and cameras

As Rik's MJU is gone thought I would ask here..

Anyone selling an Olympus MJU II?

I too am after one 😀

Should never have gotten rid of the last one....

I found a box of slides that I have not seen since 1969/70....Mum took me and my brother to morocco for 3 months ....summer 69....I was 9 and the photographer .....I remember the trip well,it started a love afair with Maroc...been back 37 times since (mainly to surf )....so excuse the
quality,I remember having a Zenith E about that time but feel it was just a point and shoot I was using.,,,
excuse some nostalgia......the white lad is my brother.

Hi film peoples!
Some fantastic stuff in this thread!

I have a bunch of exposed film that's been laying around for ages in my flat (and the one I lived in before, and the one before that). It's from various trips and adventures I've been on in the past few years (including Morocco, @IzMota. Love your old shots!).

Where in London can I get ~10 rolls processed at a reasonable price?
It's been so long since I got a roll processed (obviously) I have no idea how much this costs any more!
Am I dreaming in thinking I'd be able to find somewhere local that'll do the rolls for a few quid each?

Love these. Thanks for sharing.

If anyone would be able to surface an Olympus MJU II today I would be eternally grateful and throw in a goody from my parts box... oooooh...

Amazing seeing/finding old photos. Not as likely to happen with Digital ey?

MOAR holiday spam.

Thoroughly enjoy using point and shoots (Hexar for these), no way would I be able to learn to use a camera properly, too much work, I'm old, knowledge is escaping, not being added to.

I love my Hexar but would argue its not simply a point and shoot,get used to the arcane menu
and you can have influence .......but I know what you mean.....Id use mine all the time If I could afford the film !
Bottom shot is great....Bolivia..?

Yeah, could do with running water though mate...

Yeah, I guess you do have some control, I just don't really know how to use all the dials properly. I turn the dial one way if I want the bg blurry and the other if I don't. Thats all I got! And yeah, all Bolivian Salt Flats. Mint.

Oh yeah, and I took it apart to sort the shutter issue, haven't tried it since, hope it still works!

I turn the dial one way if I want the bg blurry and the other if I don't.

Notes to self concearning cross-processing:

• stop starting rolls with regular developing in mind, then change to xpro - you ruin a lot of images
  
• continue starting rolls with regular developing in mind, then change to xpro - there'll be gems
  
• all the subtle / artificial / low-light pictures will not look "interesting" when cross-processed, but shit
  
• the new Agfa CT precisa really goes very green when cross-processed, not sometimes but 95% of the time

Just looked at these again - wow..

Awesome landscapes, surreal light, nicely captured on film - great, thanks for sharing!

Is this a scan from film or from a print?

scanned cross-processed film

If you've got a copy of photoshop you can correct the green colour cast but still keep the cross processing affect by using the variations tool, although for that photo in question, it isn't going to look too effective as the shot only really has 1 colour. Bleach bypass and cross processing look good together too, but they produce a really dense negative, too dense for a scanner, if you've got some one that can print you a contact print, its worth trying out.

Thanks for your input!
Have never done bleach bypass, does look like fun though..
..no access to a colour lab at the moment unfortunately.

Yea it's not that I'm after "correcting" the green out of these images (it is an awesome green, isn't it) -
was just thinking out loud / reminding myself that the new CT Precisa really does go green almost always (while the old one, as well as some other slide films, give more diverse results)..

I'm looking to set up my own darkroom, if anyone has or knows of anyone with any old darkroom equipment they would be willing to part with please let me know. Obviously would be willing to pay a reasonable price
