colorflow Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted March 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Alan, have you thought about developing yourself at home? Sorry to hear about the films in the checked in baggage, I guess that's the sort of thing you do once :-(. To the best of my knowledge mail order parcels aren't scanned, at least I've never heard of anyone having problems with film bought internationally. Yes, now I buy film and develop locally even though quite a bit more expensive at most places. Developing at home is out of the question right now due to lack of appropriate space. Besides my wife is already annoyed at how much time I spend in front of the computer 'developing' digitally. Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted March 18, 2007 Share #22 Posted March 18, 2007 Poor boy! Use classic film and be responsible for your turpitudes At least you didn't go to Jessops and select the 'please take this roll of film from my holiday in Australia, keep me waiting a week with a few different excuses before admitting you've lost it, but then give me a crappy Jessops film in compensation and ignore my letters of complaint' box! Grrrrr:mad: For some special cases i use Portra BW400 (laziness, testing new cameras etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 18, 2007 Share #23 Posted March 18, 2007 Developing at home is out of the question right now due to lack of appropriate space Alan, fair enough, but if you are scanning the negatives the only space you need is a changing bag :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted March 18, 2007 Share #24 Posted March 18, 2007 Do C41 black and white films still have a place when there is digital post processing? I mean, I dont know I have never used the stuff and dont understand it. Is there a big difference from what you can get with scanning colour neg and converting that file to black and white?

bill Posted March 18, 2007 Share #25 Posted March 18, 2007 Rob, this sort of answers your question, but from a personal perspective. If I "know" I have loaded up with colour, I "think" in colour when shooting. I shoot for hue rather than contrast. This is why digital cameras that allow b&w viewing but colour RAW capture work well for me 'cos it is reinforced in my brain by the viewfinder image that I am shooting monochrome. C41 B&W works for me because it allows me to "think" in black and white, while still having the convenience of automated dip'n'dunk.

Guest stnami Posted March 18, 2007 Share #26 Posted March 18, 2007 ,,,,,,,but if you know that you are going to convert it to B&W, then why not think B&W with colour film in the camera because of the grey matter which is grey a combination ofB7W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just works for me. Maybe because I am a simple bloke. It's part of the same philosophy that makes me use only C41 B&W in my IIIc. I only think in black and white when using it.

bill Posted March 18, 2007 Share #29 Posted March 18, 2007 Just don't develop in turpentine You could always develop in varnish - you'd end up with a lovely finish... Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Circle Posted March 19, 2007 Share #30 Posted March 19, 2007 XP2 shot at 200 ISO with a red filter is a great combination for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
