Massimo, I'm not conversant with the Rollei film, I heard they are the old APX re-invented, but I don't know.

What I did see though was that the film "looked" like colour neg film, it had a distinct colour to the base.

I've processed T-Max a few times, and they end up with a bluish colour, so this could be what the Rollei films are supposed to look like, but maybe try what has been suggested, re-fix a short strip of negs and see if the colour disappears.

My short experience with the T-Max film is that it certainly takes much more fixing time.

My girlfriend actually never understood why I'm still using film for photography... but she also understood that I like it a lot. One day on that trip I told her that one film camera is not enough because sometimes there is just the wrong film in the camera. I think you guys are very familiar with that problem, I don't have to explain it further here. She also tells me all the time that I should not carry a heavy bag full of camera equipment because it is not good for my back. 

 

So, she don't understand why I still using a film camera and she don't what me to carry a lot of photography stuff, but she sees my passion for it and understood my problem so she bought that beautiful M2 as a present for me:

Must be love  :)

So you have to use this beautiful M2 to shoot beautiful girls on the maledieves... could be worse than that! :-)

Whats the difference between slide film and 135 or 120 film ??

135 and 120 describes the film size. Slide Film is correctly pronounced as diapositive- film. The Slides are just the pieces you put in your magazine to project them. So "Colur slides" is slang for diapositive. You can have "slides" both with 135 and 120.

Adding to the explanation Klaus gave Neil, the biggest difference you will see is that with slides, or trannies as I called them once with you, you can "see the image as you remember it". Whereas with a negative, well it is " a negative", if you get my drift.

 

Slides were favoured for reproduction prior to digital, and the larger the better usually. This was the thrust of my comment many posts ago, that you won't believe how god a Hasselblad image is until you shoot it as a slide, and view it on the light-table.

 

Give it a go, dedicate a (Hasselblad) back to slides if you wished, and see what the fuss is all about. If Eoin s to believed though, E6 processing is few and far between in your area of Asia.

but is it just regular film like TMAX that is processed differently or a completely different film?

I repeat my advice and encourage everyone to use a Fuji Velvia and project the pictures from your MF- Camera.

You'll get addicted to that bright, shiny colours.

You have three kinds of films: BW- Films (Tmax, Delta 100, HP 5, and so on), Colour negative (Portra, Ektar, Superia) and colour slide (Velvia, Provia).

The process for CN is C-41, the process for slide film is E-6. They are different to the process for BW- Film, as the chemaicals and processing times are the same, as it is not for BW-Film.
