Film What film do people have 'in progress' ?

[phigmov]

Fuji G690 - Velvia 50 - complete, need to remove until I can get it developed
Been so long since I last used this camera the back pressure-plate was still set to 220!

Bronica S - Agfa APX 100 - about 50% through
Always surprised at how much fun this thing is to shoot

Nikon F2 - Fomopan 400 - 95% through, just need to finish the roll
Tempted to get a new focusing screen - the reticle patch isn't as good as more recent cameras

A roll of Acros 100 in my Agfa Isolette. It's now packed in a box waiting for the move next week.

Bronica S - Agfa APX 100 - still going on the roll above, about 90% through
Slow going. Need to make a conscious decsion to take it out more - mostly its my 35mm that get walk-about time.

Konica Hexar AF (Titanium) - Agfa Vista 400 - just started
Will try and get out over summer for some shots. Should really have loaded it up with Velvia now the sun seems to be out more.

I've still got the Fuji & Nikon film in the fridge from September - just waiting for the Bronica to wrap-up and get it all developed.

I have Lomography Orca in the Pentax Auto 110, XP2 400 in the Minolta X370, and Acros 100 in the Ricoh 500G (which has sat unused for a couple of months since I loaded it!). I’m enjoying shooting with the tiny Pentax, I just hope the results are reasonable.

Do you guys use mail-order film processing labs or still have local places that you can go through?

In the region where I'm at local places that actually process film have disappeared long ago and were replaced by services like the local chain drug stores before they switched to central processing labs and now even most of them have stopped processing film in this area, offering instead just digital print services.

Do you guys use mail-order film processing labs or still have local places that you can go through?

Theres a local place in my city - its typically overnight for C41 and a couple of days longer for B&W or Slide - I usually get back the negatives and have them scan direct to CD rather than getting prints. I'm usually not in a big hurry so this seems to work fine for me.

I did pick up a developing tank and chemicals but haven't got around to trying home development yet.

Kodak Ektar in my FM2n. This is my first film using my recently acquired 105/2.5 AI lens.

Great setup and choice 🙂

I'm using one of my last roles of Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 in one of my favourite medium format cameras, the Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta 531/16.

I still have a few shots in my Bronica which is holding up my other three rolls ready to process. I may just bite the proverbial and take what I have into the shop rather than procrastinating further.

Out of interest, aside from handloading, does anyone have a good source for 12 exposure 35mm B&W film? I'm interested for a couple of reasons -
(a) its useful in half-frame cameras
(b) it'd be very useful when experimenting with home developing technique instead of wasting a 24 or 36 exposure roll

 

[phigmov]

Finally got my Nikon F2, Bronica S, Konica Hexar & Fuji 690 stuff developed. My goto development shop had changed hands since I'd last had stuff developed (I suspect they just act as a drop off point for a proper developer) - they were a little apologetic about the cost and the fact I only got 5 shots off the 120 6x9 film (which they hadn't seen before!) - found it quite amusing. Will need to run the scans through Aperture and post the results.

After a 4 year hiatus, I finally dropped some film off that had been languishing in the fridge and got the first of it back -

1. 3 C41 colour rolls - 2 Agfa Vista 200 (love this stuff!) and 1 Fujifilm of some sort
2. 1 Fomopan 400 B&W roll

Also have another Agfa Vista 200 in my Pentax MZ-5 which I'm almost done with too.

Picked up some expired Ferrania Solaris 100 12 exposure & Agfa HDC 100 15 exposure film. Will shoot a test roll of each on something with a decent meter and see how they perform. Both expired in the late 00's. If they're not too far gone, I'll use them with my Pens. If I remember to do it, I'll try a half-roll at box speed and the other half at half-speed. See if that compensates for the age; from memory its a stop for each decade but I also hear slower films age better and B&W low-speed film generally ages well if its been well stored (eg ISO200 or below).

Putting a 12-exposure roll of expired Solaris 100 through this at ISO 80... will be interesting to see how it goes compared to my first attempt of this film through a more modern camera.

Nothing right now, other than plans for more Fuji400 in the little UWS until my F3HP gets the shutter issue resolved. Can hopefully start up again later this week.

Kentmere 400 and TMax 100. Leica IIf and Leica II syn. Elmar 50mm and Summaron 35mm. Tried SLRs but somehow feels easier to focus on magnified rangefinder of Leica.

Next week will be trying some Kodak ProImage 100 and FlicFilm Chrome 100. And maybe some Kentmere Pan 100.

I've always found the rangefinder patch to be easier to focus compared to SLR OVFs.

 

[phigmov]

Popped some Velvia 100 into my Bronica S. Almost finished my Arista 400 in the Nikon F. Hopefully have a few rolls to take in to the lab before x-mas.

Still running Pro Image 100 and Fuji 200 through the Canonet pair, hopefully get the two rolls finished this month and out for processing.
