Unlike the reasonably instant gratification that comes from digital, film tends to take time to work its way through peoples cameras and often people will wait until they have enough rolls to process before developing them (ok, ok, polaroid & fuji instant film aside . . .)
I figured I'd start a thread to help people through the agonising waiting period between loading the film and getting back (or just developing) the negs, prints and/or files.
I have -
Once I have the shots back, I'm keen to get some film into my OM-4Ti and Trip35. I may crack out the Fuji GW690 but its a bit of a beast to use on these darker autumn/winter days.
So, fellow shooters, what have you got on the go in your cameras ?

I have -
- Some Agfapan b&w apx 100 in my Bronica EC - unfortunately the camera had a weak battery so I lost a few frames to test shots and double-exposures. It'll be interesting to see how the others come out. Its definitely not a street shooter, theres a small delay between the tripping shutter and it firing. Not sure if this is a shutter timing issue or just the way these cameras are. Makes me think I should have held out for a fully mechanical S2. Roll is finished though - just need to unload it and stick it in the fridge ready to get developed.
- My Olympus Mju II has 3-4 frames left of Kodak colour 400 - have been using this for casual 'happy snaps' so I'm interested to see what I've caught. Roll has been in the camera for several months now, keen to get it out and developed.
- More Agfapan in my Rolleiflex TLR - just a frame or two left - using Sunny 16 and a Sekonic digital meter to see if my shots come out better than with the built-in selenium meter (pretty sure its been under-exposing since I got the camera).
