Decided i wanted to try this film malarky so picked up a Nikon F80 from here so i could use the lenses i already have for my digital camera. These are my first shots from it on some Poundland Vista 200.
I'm looking for some pointers and any C&C is more than welcome as always.
Couple of questions, how did i do? I know it's not really the full film experience as it's kinda like using a DSLR. I've read that colour negative film needs lots of light so should i over expose by half a stop (or more) or just carry on as i am? Apart from #1 these were all taken with spot metering (#1 was matrix) is there a preferred method?
Last question, as this was just a quick test roll and all the shots were fired off pretty quickly, i just used Asda's develop and scan service. If for some reason i think i may have a few nice ones on future rolls, where would be best to send the film to for this kind of service?
Many thanks.
David.
