Analog film photography and cameras

I had an Epson flatbed that could scan multiple medium format negatives, it was brilliant for what I needed it for, although the images were perhaps a little soft. I was scanning 6x6 slide film at 10000x10000 (far bigger than I needed) and getting really nice results. In time, dust can get onto the sensor and you get streaks running across the image which basically renders them useless : (

4 rolls off to the developers, nice nice

One of many from the trip.

Slide film of some sort, Olympus XA

Nice, where were you?

Ai-s 50mm I bought off eBay turned up today, decent nick for £36.

I've used about 7-8 rolls of film this month though, sort of wish I had ploughed that money back into film. Sucks being a student..

Right, does anyone know anywhere that does slide/neg scanning at a reasonable standard for a reasonable price?

Reason: the slides I had scanned came out looking like turd. I was gutted. 3 months of photos and most of them are shit. Until I projected them and most of them are fine/what I was hoping for.
Weirdly though, the colour neg stuff is totally fine/the scans are actually pretty good. This leads me to believe that the scanner was just set up wrong/badly.
Frustrating it is. . .

Finally got my hands on a Polaroid 100 Land Camera, order fuji film so just waiting on it to arrive so I can finally shot the instant stuff I have for ages...

If they are mounted bring them into Digitalab if you want and I can set up a scanning profile on the Nikon Coolscan they have for you, since I'm working for them over Christmas. Also if you tell me how many you have I can work you out a price today while I'm at work.

Fuji 800 is lovely stuff. Only ever used it a handful of times though, mainly in my GSN for party pictures.

Slide/tranny has a MUCH higher DMax than Colour Neg - hence why your scanner struggles...

Selling my Canon 17-40mm F4L lens. Great superwide on a 35mm eos body.

I didn't do the scanning, the lab that dev'd the film did.

Is this enough to complain about? I mean, they're not really fit for use as they are - especially when compared to the c41 films I got back.

The c41 stuff is unmounted but all that stuff is fine, it's the slides that suck - and there's way too many to pay to get them scanned!

Apologies for the splurge, all shot on the XA on various slide film, some Fuji Velvia and Provia, might be some from a random roll of Boots' slide film.

They are so nice. The XA is such a great little camera.

Bloody lovely photos there mate.

some stunners there

Right film peeps . . .

My father in law has asked me to get rid of his old non digital stuff as he has gone fully digital, and although i know nothing about these things, i know a lot of people are camera buffs on here.

Basically what he is selling are

Minolota 9000 Body with a load of lenses and bits
Cannon EOS 30 Body
Olympus OM-2 and various lenses
Cannon EOS 1X Body

Load of Hoya filters

Load of Cokin filters and rings

Everything has manuald and cases, all in top condition

Worth putting up for sale on here?

Pretty strange coincidence but I had a 10 year old roll of film developed today, I thought it was one I pulled out a camera I bought but it turned out to be shots I took of Yosemite when I was 11!

Film didn't hold up too bad considering

Ah well, awesome photos though. You could look into getting this scanner

pretty good price. I was looking at getting it but have no money at the moment. I'm not sure how good a scanner it is but maybe somebody on here will.

awesome!

My 5 year old nephew just got a digital camera, can't wait to see what he shoots

Scanned the second roll which definitely came out of a camera I bought, only 3-4 pictures on the roll.

This guy was on it, makes me pretty happy I got it developed.
