haha ... I recognise that list ! I might try and have a go at this :)

I never intended this thread to be in any way a film V's Digi fight ! Like I said in my 1st post, I plan to make a large format camera, and probably make my own glass plates and emulsions. I have a dark room, and could probably make my own paper too. I really like 'wet' photography, but...

Well for a start, 'we' already have computers/printers/scanners etc etc, most of us have a digi camera too. Even if we don't, a decent camera can be had for a couple of hundred (doesn't have to be new), as can a computer (even a new one). Printers can be had new for a few tens of pounds. All...

don't forget poundland for film ... it will be cheaper than posting it !

I've only been into film for a couple of years, and in that short time, Ive seen the price of film double, and any decent camera equipment gone up by much much more. I think there will come a time where "I" won't get to keep film ,as I just won't be able to afford it. :shrug:

Just wondering ... It seems more often we get a post that this film or that is being discontinued. Then we get posts that 'film will never die' ! so what's the current thinking ? I keep buying/collecting film cameras when I see them, but if film is realy dieing in the foreseeable...

Them old B&W ones are really a lot better that we give them credit for !

I suppose it depends on what you want to do with them 'whenever', and how much disk space you have to spare. I had a 400mb Tiff printed at A2 for an exhibition and the detail really showed. The Jpeg was about 15Mb IIRC http://www.flickr.com/photos/handmade-uk/5681711500/in/photostream/...

you could drop them in at Tesco's :thumbs: 99p dev only (other supermarkets available :) )

but just to make it clear, you must use the same 'ISO' for the whole film. You can't change between shots, as you can't dev each shot seperately (unless you are using large format)

That's nice ! :)

yes, I saw that one on flickr. I like it better than the 1st. Love the light in it. Looks better (to me) on a white background, than black (when I tried that in flickr)

Even worse ... I'm running Linux ! :lol: I'll see if I can get it going :)

yes, but there is also a nice warm nostalgic feeling to the original :)

you could try booking it in for a sun bed for 1/2 and hour ? :shrug:
