Forum: Film and Media

I just love my old cameras. I am just wondering what are the tricks to minimize the cost of developing medium format film? I would like to have professional quality. 1. I guess the first is to buy expired film? (Which is the best source to get the film, ebay?) 2. I guess I need to develop my...

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I shot mainly slide film, mostly ektachrome which I processed at home and some kodachrome. I did shoot ocassionally with print film too. Last weekend, I was going through an old file cabinet in the basement and came across a lot of slides and prints from back in...

Ross and I have been picking up old film equipment and working on putting together a curio to display it :) Here's a picture of the display for far! I'll leave it to Ross to add up info on all the gear that's in there :D ... I can't keep up with all the names and models LOL

What is the colored film inside my bathtub faucet? How do I get rid of it? My home has a well instead of city water. Whenever I ran a bath, brownish colored flecks come out of my faucet. After looking at the faucet, I noticed that the inside is covered in this redish-brown film. I am assuming that...

Last week for great deals on these cards - almost as good as the 3 GB Compactflash cards I got recently for $12 total. http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2009/01/weekend-shopper-last-week-for-sandisk-prepaid-visa-card-deals.html + Three Sandisk 4gb Extreme III SDHC cards for $5 TOTAL after the...

I can get prints from a 110 negative? I found some old ones and would love to get some prints from them since I dont have the orginals anymore......

The more you buy, the more you save! For once, this appears to be true. I just ordered 3 Sandisk Extreme III 8GB CF cards from Adorama for $170.85 with free shipping. The rebate for 3 of these cards is $160 so I'll end up paying a total of $10.85 for the cards!! :D Sure you have to submit...

Hi All, I have a friend who told me each time you move a photo, say from media card to pc to disk, you loose "compression". (I hope I remembered the word she said correctly.) Is this true, do you "LOOSE" each time you resave a pic somewhere? If so how do you all deal with this? Save directly...

I am hoping someone can tell me what is wrong with my card.. Lexar 1gig PlatinumII 80x I haven't had this, that long... My kids gave it to me for Mothers Day this year in fact. I went to shoot with it yesterday because I left my bigger card home in the card reader... anyway, when I put it in...

...and what is their selection like? I know many of you have had great experiences with Allens so I figured I'd give throw some business their way if they carry film.

Ok, I only just switched over to RAW a month ago. The wedding I am doing tomorrow I plan on shooting in all RAW. I have 2 2gb cards and 2 1gb cards. Does anyone know how much each card will hold in RAW photos. I know I used to get 350 or so jpeg photos on a 1gb card. I want to make sure I have...

I finally noticed a difference. Ever since I got the 2gig Ultra II, I've been using it exclusively. I had some shots on it from Friday that I didn't get to copy off and I went out yesterday so I popped in the off brand 4gig. I was shooting my friend on his Yamaha Raptor OHV. There was a VERY...

Does anyone have, or know of a product that will take data/photos off of a CF card and store it, to free up your CF card for more pictures? I am going to Alaska and will be taking a truckload of pics, shooting RAW + L uses massive amounts of memory. I would like to have a gadget that could...

OK... so whats the deal... McGreevys doesnt process K14 slide film... which is all the Kodachrome stuff... Whats the REAL difference between E6 and K14... I am curious as to why they wouldnt develop K14....

I like to try new things... I like to try old things... Either way I like to try as much as I can so I can give educated guesses when people ask. I had heard a lot of good things about Agfa Scala which is a black and white reversal film. I had to try it out for myself to see if it was all a...

Does anyone know specifically how much a film stock degrades after the passing of the "develop by" date. How much time has to pass before the film is completely un-useable. I understand there is some degradation in contrast levels and color reproduction, etc. What I'm trying to find out is the...

I am curious as I couldnt find it on the web... what is the physical size difference from a mounted 35mm slide and a mounted 120 slide in 645 format?

i just wanted to share my quick review of an ipod cammera connector.... im off to florida in oct and needed more memory since i only have 4gigs worth of CF....and im broke so the epson that i want is out of the question right now. :D so my choices were to either bring my laptop which is kind...

anyone have a venue they trust in the city? i have some borderline issues and i want to try a few labs outside of albany to see if i am crazy, or something is wrong.
