I’ve been shooting film again for the last couple of years, although not exclusively of course. One of the interesting things is seeing old stuff being reinvented, usually not as well as it was in the old school days, but still there’s a lot of creativity out there.
Lomography have reinvented the daylight loading developing tank, so if you did fancy processing an occasional roll of film it wouldn’t be too difficult. https://shop.lomography.com/us/daylight-film-developing-tank-35mm And scanning 35mm is pretty easy and cheap with things like this from JJC, which is essentially a set of extension tubes with a slide/film strip copier and light: https://jjc.cc/index/goods/detail.html?id=1024 If you only scan mounted slides then it’s perfectly feasible (I do it) with an old Pentax-M 50/4 macro lens, extension tubes, slide holder K and a light panel. With cheap but very good b&w film like Kentmere it can be relatively cheap to shoot film, certainly a lot cheaper than sending it out for processing and scanning. > On 25 Mar 2025, at 23:14, John Sessoms <sesso...@earthlink.net> wrote: > Cool if you're 20 something I guess. > > Wish I still ran the photo-lab.
