Analog film photography and cameras

Yeah man, same price as 35mm. Great value.

Lovely! Do I/you get discount if I say you mentioned them to me? :-P

Developments on the ailing Canon T70, the mirror is sticking only at 1/500 and 1/1000. First film SLR I've used, I'm thoroughly enjoying it, especially after the disappointment that was the first roll! All Poundland Vista 200 except the last photo which is Superia 400.

Really like Superia, I shot quite a bit of it on my last holiday. Think it's a really good film for the price.

Not yet but at the rate i'm recommending them maybe in future!

What's happened to Tina Kino (latterly known as @•••••)? She hasn't posted for two months.

Been wondering the same thing.

Me too, he / she (I'm not actually sure) has my travelling camera project and has done for months.

She's posted to Instagram in July so might have just flounced or something. Still seems a bit off.

I like Superia too, nice halfway house between Colour Plus/C200 and Ektar/Portra etc.

Typically, they've discontinued a large swathe of it - 200 and 800 ASA and 24 exposure versions. Leaving the 400 36 exposure as the sole remaining film.

Anyone able to recommend a nice film for my Hexar? I don't like it when my shots come out too contrasty, prefer lower contrast and muted colours. Happy with this recent one though an have a couple of ones I deem "shithot".

Fuji pro 400H.

Shot at ISO 200.

Done deal. Cheers BRO.

Failed last upload attempt...

And again.. FFS...

Same, I can only compare it to Agfa Vista 200 (which gives quite a dated look with pronounced grain, low contrast) but definitely the Superia seems more true to life.

[Colourplus 200 x Canon multi-tele]
so much grain

Was sceptical of this place, especially when I went in and saw the negs hanging up in the open. That said, the 6x4s are actually pretty decent, and look pretty well scanned for pound land film. Maybe not a place to use for your expensive film but definitely good enough for tests/less precious stuff.

Turned it round in <24 hours too

Anyone got a source of (relatively) cheap medium format (120) film? taken the plunge and bought a Mamiya C220 but don't want to rinse money on expensive films whilst i get used to it.

eBay expired portra?

I think most places do Fuji Pro, Kodak Ektar and Portra for around £25-£30 for a box of five.
Ilford B&W are usually £4-£5 a roll.

Not aware of anything cheaper sadly

For those of you shooting half-frame, how do scans come back from developers (filmdev in particular) ? Do you get a scan of the full 35mm frame (ie two pics), or do they scan each half frame separately ?

Also, on a camera limited to 200 ISO, is there any benefit to shooting 400 ISO film and pulling to 200 in low light conditions ?

Considering taking the plunge into half-frame but the camera is limited to 200 ISO max.

Do you get a scan of the full 35mm frame (ie two pics)

yep
