Analog film photography and cameras

They are quite sharp though indeed
: ]

Love those.

Turns out the 15 year old Porta UC I found in a shoebox at home might have benefitted from not being stored in a shoebox for 15 years. Even overexposing it a stop didn't help. Will post results once I've rescued it a bit in post...

If anyone's looking to get some E6 processing done, I've just used John Salim (not seen him mentioned on here before) and can thoroughly recommend. £4.70 a roll aint bad.

So many glowing horizons, smh. But for £6 dev and scan I don't really care. It's only blog fodder after all!

I sent filmdev a roll saying give me the highest possible resolution scans, they are 150mb+ TIFs and all great! No idea which scanner they used.

..check EXIF data?

not much ..

Is there any point in having a 150mb tif for a 30mp image? And if it's 35mm is there actually that amount of detail in the grain? I was told that the finest grain 35mm film is about 20-25mp at best.

6x7, i have no idea tbh

In that case I'd be after more resolution, personally!

150Mb, should be an Imacon ?

But the output resolution would be higher, 6x7 @ 3200dpi comes out at 7500x8800~

Thanks for all the advice in terms of not getting the most out of my medium format camera. Found this in a drawer and been out shooting on my lunch break, I can feel the addiction slowly coming back...

50mm 1.2! NAWTY.

Ye I got a really blurry pic back in my latest roll that I took after a fair few pints, which I also strangely don't totally hate. Show us yours then ?

Usually, anything but perfectly in focus and sharp pisses me off, but somehow in my last batch I've got a pair of completely blurry photos I quite like!

Yes yes yes indeed.

Also, you can add "totally weird as fuck redeye correction" to the list of things filmdev do :-/

That's terrible. I guess they stick the machine on auto and crank them out with minimal intervention, hence the low price for C41.
I won't be using them again, their over sharpening makes things like Ektar grainy.

Nice thing to have hidden in the back of a drawer !

Nice pic but what's the combo film/dev/scan ? So much grain but look like it's not the original grain.

SO MUCH GRAIN. It's pretty bonkers really. And what's annoying about the redeye thing is that undoing the automatic mess is a pain, but just clicking with the PS redeye tool is a piece of piss and works much better (99% of the time anyway).
