Analog film photography and cameras

That is good to know, cheers! They seem a reasonable bet. I don’t mind taking my time.

I haven’t sent film to a lab for years and just can’t bring myself to do it (I’d miss developing too much). Scanning feels like the last piece of the puzzle.

@amey too kind, but I don’t think I could deal with the compatability shenanigans of owning an older scanner. Unless it really is more straightforward than I imagine?

Very straightforward, USB and works with Vue or Silverfast perfectly, I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Thanks!

there you go

Well that sounds significantly more straightforward than I had anticipated!

Let me do some research. Thanks for the pictures!

Anybody up for some film swap. I got the ones below, also some expired 2014 120 provia 100 F which still holds really well. Not London based but happy to post. Or you can have the 3 B&W for £20.

Random one, anybody know if it's possible to put a 0.58 magnification viewfinder on a Leica M2, if so, who can do such a thing? I reckon still be cheaper than getting a Leica M6 with said viewfinder (£3k if lucky )

Has anyone ever tried to return film and been refused because "Film as well as photographic chemicals are sensitive materials and are therefore exempt."

It smells like bullshit to me. Can't find any such reference in Distance Selling/Consumer Contract regs.

Sounds like bullshit to me, but I suppose it depends if unopened or whether it was sold without packaging. The latter seems a bit more uncertain.

While I’m here, anyone need any medium format negative sleeves? I’ve got more than 60 of these (nice ones) left and am not shooting medium format for the foreseeable. I’d rather post to someone than bin them. Free to anyone who can use them.

remember my local labs always charging me a premium for these

Any help guys? My Konica a4 is being a git. Iv loaded a fresh roll of film and a new battery in it but after the first picture it flashes up with this icon ( pictured) and goes back to 0. Wanted to take it on a trip with me tomorrow

Anyone know of any good places you can get film developed in South East London ?

I suppose you tried things like removing battery, loading the film again etc.?

Here's the manual, maybe it helps?

Yep l, tried all of the above. It was working fine recently so god knows what it could be.

I'm considering selling my Olympus XA2 if anyone is interested? See @mi7rennie pics above.
Also have some 35mm films to sell I'll update tomorrow.

See @mi7rennie pics above.

Owning one doesn't mean you can take photos like @mi7rennie though 😂

To be fair, california sunsets have more to do with it than my skills!

Any ideas on how to get the film pit of this roll so I can load it. I'd usually use an old bit of film but don't have any to hand....
