You know you want to... also, I'm a massive dork and saw the thread title and immediately thought "If you've no ID, you cant come in" from my days looking imposing in doorways

Velvia 50 by Madison S, on Flickr Some Velvia, also in Westward Ho!

Ektar030100003 by Madison S, on Flickr Little bit of Ektar 100 in Westward Ho! in Devon, using my RB67 (no, it was not fun clambering over the rocks with that bloody great camera)

Just in case anyones about to send films to thefilmsafe.co.uk, they're having issues with their c41 machine and its knocked processing back by a week or two

Took my van to get the aircon regassed a couple of months ago. Passed the nitrogen test, so they filled it. Aircon worked lovely for a few days. Tried to use it when this heatwave nonsense started, blowing nothing but ambient temp air at me. Take a day off work to take it back to the garage...

I disagree. I've developed the stuff at home (its a bit more of a ballache but not the worst), and even now I send it away, get the smallest scans and rescan the ones you really like. There's also the fact you wouldn't just fire through 36 shots like you would on a digital as each shot has a...

Remember this post about the failure of my DIY TLR? Like a glutton for punishment, I tried again, this time with added tape in one particular spot. kentmerr400diytlr008 by Madison S, on Flickr kentmerr400diytlr003 by Madison S, on Flickr I'm actually really pleased with how they came out...

Vuescans a cracking bit of software, but I've had nothing but issues with it (which I am fully prepared to accept are my own fault) and I really struggle to get a decent image out of it. Epson scan, for the most part, is just easier and more reliable (for me). Something to be aware of with...

I'm quietly grateful I also need fixer and print developer and film, it puts it over the free shipping threshold on a few sites

I'm not really sure I understand. The light would reach from one edge of the film to the other, so outside of the frame itself. While you could be right about the darkslide, it'd still mean there's a leak as its supposed to still be light tight when the darkslide is removed

straight edge like that suggests a light leak of one of your new seals I think. This is the leak I got using one of those plastic DIY TLR's DIYTLR-kentmere400-510pyro_ 3 by Madison S, on Flickr

There's a bit of a caveat if you're using a septic system IIRC, but I cant for the life of me remember what. I saved up all my fixer for ages and took it, complete with the chemical data sheet to my local recycling centre as was suggested on another forum. Guy took one look at it and yeeted the...

Coming back to this my experience with FilmSafe has been a bit of a mixed bag. Dev and Scan was a bit slower than normal, but only by a day or so but after two weeks I emailed to ask if they'd sent my negatives back to me yet and all I got was an email confirming my order was done... the same...
