Most of y'all know I bought two film cameras and am shooting film for the first time. I've shot 8 rolls so far.
With this forum's help I purchased a film scanner.
And as of last week, I finally found a place in another state where I can send the film to be developed. I hope to receive the developed film back later this week or next week. Until then, I have no idea whether anything worked, but surely there's got to be a couple of decent ones in 8 rolls.
While I'm learning, I've been using regular ole Kodak Ultramax 400 film which I can buy from the local supermarket, 3 rolls of 24 colour exposures for $20. There's also 3 rolls of 36 Fujifilm Superia 400 for $28. I know there's better colour film out there but while I'm learning I want to take a gazillion shots, make a gazillion mistakes, and hopefully learn one or two things along the way.
I want to try some B&W and have been looking but can't find the equivalent cheap film. Does the equivalent ISO 400 exist? I'm seeing high praise for the Ilford HP5 but that's high quality expensive film. I'm not ready for that yet.
