Bought a 'new' scanner :)

Bought a 'new' scanner, old Minolta Dimage Scan Dual, seems to be doing an admirable job for its age, older negs don't half attract dust mind!

Trip into town with the ESII Fuji Superia 200 from memory.

I like the results you've got from the BW400C. I tried the Fuji equivalent recently and was pretty disappointed with how they turned out - very gritty and poor contrast. Might have to give that Kodak a spin instead.

The scanner looks to have done a very good job too. I'd like a dedicated film scanner but most of the film I shoot is 120 and dedicated MF scanners cost £££'s so I'll stick to my flatbed until my Lotto numbers come up...

Which lens(es) were these btw?

Get yourself some PEC fluid and pads. It is costly but goes a very long way and well worth the time saved dust-spotting images.

I really like the Kodak film although it pays to "over expose" it a little. I usually set my ASA dial to 320...

Sadly, Kodak have discontinued this film in medium format. I got the last roll at Adorama and 7dayshop couldn't get me any.

I'm guessing but the colour pics could be the SMC 50mm f1.4 and I think the B&W super tak 35mm f3.5.


Will give the pec fluid a go, should be good for sensor cleaning on my canon too, this was my first play with the new scanner so I just wanted to see some pics I think the two B&W were erring on the side of overexposure with the needle, it was my first film shooting in a LONG time.

Boooooooo!!! Guess I'll have to persevere with the Fuji then

I don't think I've ever seen a bad picture taken with the 35/3.5 - much nicer than the 35/2 Super Tak I had until recently.

What about Iford XP2? I prefer the Kodak as it is cheaper (in 35mm) K.

I didn't think you could get XP2 in 120? Might have a go with that then

According to the Ilford web site it does. I have never tried the 120 roll film version myself.

Edit: Silverprint stock it.

I've got a couple of rolls of the ADOX CHS (25 and 100) to play with, I'll let you know how they go, but they are supposed to be VERY fine grain. They are available in 120 format and not too expensive.

I have a roll of HP5+ which I will hopefully get developed today.
