Analog film photography and cameras

I just traded my 6 month old Oly Pen E-P3 for a Leica M6 TTL, and got myself a roll of TMax 400 to get started.

I understand that many of you seem to use Eye Culture near Brick Lane. I have read (in someone's blog) that they send the BW to a professional lab near Old street. Would you have any idea which one it could be ? (unless it's Delirium Tremens)

Maybe I'm under valuing the Oly EP3 but sounds like a hell of a deal. You have a lens that fits the M6 already?

If your gonna shoot tri-x rather than a c41b&w film then it'd definitely make financial sense to start devving yourself.

For what you'll pay to have a couple rolls of tri-x devved in a lab you could buy you most of the kit you need and for the cost of another couple you'd get chemicals. The dev I use (R09) costs me about £7 a bottle and a bottle lasts me, 6 months or so shooting about a film a week.

Having the extra control over how ur negs look is really good.
