Analog film photography and cameras

Holy shit that's good.

You're welcome.

Tina, yes.
No facebonk or LinkedIn here, but instagram / tumblr..

Right. It's a different person then. I'm shit with aliases.

Any one do any bulk loading of film here in London?

I have the chance to pick up some Black and White Ilford P3 - 400 ISO - 100 ft - exp AUG 2010 - bulk rolls for a reasonable price if anyone wants some, quite a few rolls left apparently. It apparently is like HP5 but thinner so can tech fit more into a canister. If anyones interested let me know via pm :-)

More info on google but heres a few links - http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/20061302117211999.pdf

Anyone selling a film scanner? Doesn't have to be amazing just gets the job done. If not best option for buying new? Budget of £100-200

Getting the young lass into film nice and early!

I've got an Epson V500. With all the neg holders and things. Make me an offer if you're interested

So the little Canon AF Sprint works, £8 of goodness!

Also I used filmdev.co.uk to develop and scan this film and they seem to have made a really nice job.

Boy you do love that bridge
;-)

I do. It never bores me as the weather, sun, water, etc are constantly changing.

Wee camera worked well anyway.

That filmdev.co.uk is not bad, prices-wise, if the scans are good.

Just got the preview scans now @ItkI and they look good so far.

Browsing the Foto Impex webshop..
..haven't checked in a while, as I had a lot of film stashed in my fridge and didn't need anything.

Cinestill is €10.89 now. They said they want to keep it below 10 but apparently this didn't work out..

Portra 400 is €8.29 now - getting expensive as well (were I am at the moment it's €10.50 for a roll though so won't complain too much)

Would have thought the rising prices will put people off film more and more, but I think there's actually a growing number of film photographers in the last years.
Just saw new "special effect" films by a company named Revolog on the Impex shop.. well apart from the fact that I would never use stuff like that it surprised me that there's apparently people buying it.

Some B+W from the £8 camera.

Colour / light are amazing as well.
Is this filmdev.co.uk-preview scan as well?

This is one of the. Tif files, slight shadow lift in Lightroom and sharpening too.

Taken in the cameras macro mode, 45cm max focus distance and forced flash.

I sometimes think film suits flash better. Especially on camera flash.

Ta for the feedback, interesting.
Was there sun as well, or does the warm-ish tone just come from the Portra?

I don't flash much, especially not people as I think it's super-annoying,
but yeah indeed it does still look pretty good on film most of the times, compared to digital..

It was like a sunny cloudy day.

I'll post a few shots from the same day without flash later @ItkI

Four from the same walk, minus the flash. Really happy with my filmdev.co.uk scans @ItkI

Nice, prices they offer seem great, going to send them a couple of rolls, how long did it take?

Whenever I click on "click here" to see their price list I just get an order form what are their prices like? Say for 35mm dev and scan?

I was £15 for 3 x 36 exposure films developed and scanned at medium res.

They were same day with the preview jpegs and a few days for the negatives and. Tif files to arrive on disk.
