I seem to recall slide film includes developing in the original cost, I could be wrong but some body will let us know. I only use film because I got a load cheap on ebay, and It's easier to scan, the linked image was taken with out of date Jessops ASA200 film. I have adjusted scanned prints in E...

Amin, i'd also try a few different places - shop around as they do differ in quality a great deal. After taking shots with my MZ-60 and DA*50-135 (work very well together), I experimented with Asda's 1 hour service and Boot's service where they are sent off. I was bitterly dissapointed with Asda,...

Hmmm. Million $ questions. My input: 1) Consider slide film over neg's. Colours are often better. 2) I prefer Fuji slide and neg films. 3) Choose a lab that can offer good scans at the highest level. Do the math. Cost of scanner plus many hours work scanning against paying for good scans ...

Since you said MACRO, I doubt you can retain resolution with scans from prints?? Regards Thanks for the prices. Very informative. So let me get this clear, ideally for Macro shots I should opt for Scan slides into CD and that price is £0.50 per slide between 1 to 99 images which would be 14MB re...

Bob, that image came out pretty stunning. Love the multicolour dress your little one has. :) And now you really are enticing me with the bug to go out shooting film with my DA*50-135, :).

Aminster, I'm curious why do you want to shoot film? Your gallery shots are stunning after all. Chris K200D, MZ30.:D

Sounds radical to me, but that is from my frame of reference, for me it seems logical and balanced to shoot in film and digital. Still getting used to my MZ30, good luck with yours. It makes me really think about every shot,so a good way to learn about the concept.Seeing a camera obscura at the ...

If you're using Kodachrome, you may want to bear in mind the limitations of the system that comes with my Nikon scanner (and others). That said, successfully, and the version of the scanning software that I have has a specific Kodachrome setting, so it may well be Ok. If you really wanted ...

Sorry Amin, but if you are really committed you should start with mono. Most good photo shops (and even some bad ones) will still stock Ilford FP4. A changing bag, reel, chemicals and measures shouldn't set you back more than £50. I'm not saying ignore colour, but there is nothing like developi...

That said, successfully, and the version of the scanning software that I have has a specific Kodachrome setting, so it may well be Ok. Update: It turns out my brother did a load of slide photography in his pre-digital days, and has lent me a bunch of Kodachrome slides. I'll scan a few, an...

why not shoot both still and digital on each subject and see where that gets you? I college I did that using a pentax ds2 and a superprogram and k1000, also used a canon ae1. would set up the shot, the lighting and shoot both film and digital, easy to compare, and I had similar shots for the d...
