Analog film photography and cameras

No worries. Post the results here!

Will do!

Have ordered a selection of film from Analogue Wonderland (way too easy to spent too much money on there). I got some lower ISO film as well as I’m of cycling around Tenerife next month and presume that’ll be better for sunny conditions?

I found 3 rolls of this, expiry date is 07-2012... Is it still worth trying, it hasn't been kept in the fridge.

Unless is got unusually hot or something it should be fine. Just give a stop or two more light and process normally.

Thanks!

Did you manage to sell this? I also have one in a similar condition and I wondered what the going price is.

Definitely worth shooting, this is my favourite black and white film. As said above shoot an extra stop or 2, might be a touch grainier but it’s particularly fine film so won’t be too noticeable.

The C220? Nah it never sold, I never really pushed hard to sell it though as I’m happy to keep it, just thought it would be a cool way for someone to try analogue photography. I think they usually sell for around £250

Finally scanned some film I shot with a Agfa Isola 8 years ago, not the most interesting pictures but messing around with it got me excited about shooting film again.

Where is a good place to buy reasonably priced film these days? Online or in London
Does it exist?

Honestly no, im paying £80 odd quid a box of 400 portra now.

I’m shooting about 1/10th of the amount I was a few years ago because of the cost. Occasionally get deals on the triple packs of Kodak colour an analogue wonderland surprisingly but considering it used to be about £2 a roll I’d say GOOD deals don’t exist. Nik&trick used to do good multipack deals, think there’s a list of film supplies websites maybe even on this thread that’s worth scouring. Can almost never get a good deal in actual stores.

I have best luck at random mainstream places like Jessops and LCE flogging short-dated 120 for £20-40 per propack. Pop yer head in and ask.

For 35mm c41 … I have no idea. Kodak price-gouging is setting the sweet tone(s).

I had a solargraph (solarcan brand) up for the last year, facing south capturing the path of the sun. Took it down last week after exactly 365 days, expecting nothing, but got this:

amazing

oh wow!

That's cool. Would make a good gift.

How did you get the film developed?

This is brilliant!

In the email newsletter Speed Graphic send out they mention some details on the upcoming price rises in the cost of film. Another price rise for Kodak - most professional films will cost more than £20. Ilford up 10%. Foma up 10%. It's probably worth buying stocks asap..... or swapping to digital haha.

For ppl trying to keep 35mm costs reasonable…

Imaging Warehouse have stock of 30.5m rolls of Rollei Retro 400s for £55.

Cheers, I'm pretty surprised with the amount of detail!
No developing needed, just cut open the can in a dark(ish) room, and took a photo of the exposed paper. It's quite low sensitivity so there's time to handle it. After taking a few photos it did fade to black eventually, so I just have the digital version which I'm going to get printed.

The negative is a brownish tone where it's exposed, and colour-inverted and a bit of sharpening and contrast gets that image. Already ordered another to put up somewhere.

Portra shouldn't be going up by that much its 6% meant to be.
