mikemgb Posted July 30, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having recently returned to film after 15 years of digital I have found the quality of photo processing is not what it used to be. I recently had several films processed, scanned and printed at two different labs. One did an OK job, the other was terrible, scans and prints are unusable. Obviously I will be returning to try and have the problem corrected but I decided I need another approach. To that end, I just ordered a tank, reels and changing bag, I used to do all my own B/W and E6 processing, I'm looking forward to doing it again. Initially I'll photograph the negs on a light box with my D-Lux 109 and print at a local place I know can produce decent results from a digital file. Really good photos I will print myself on a Canon Pro 10 I have at work. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted August 8, 2016 Share #3 Posted August 8, 2016 Mike congrats to decide go back to film, the better support for color and b&w. Next step develop as you said by yourself , good work , no scratches , done properly and even on sunday (ext lab closed) Next other step : print with an enlarger and silver paper, better and cheaper than inkjet not the same process. Good photos and thank you to share in our "I like film" thread As said Michael persevere and your handwork will be valued Best Henry 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
