roguewave Posted June 23, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2008 Ken, welcome aboard the forum. I like this image. The reds are wonderful and the color is well renderd throughout. Has a very old shoe feel in this image. Nice focusing as well for the Nocti. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken_nyus Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted June 23, 2008 Thanks Ben, I don't comment much but I have been enjoying your NYC photos. I just bought a Bessa to play with these lenses on film for the first time. This was from the first roll, and I wanted to see what the Noctilux looks like full frame. I have two rolls of Velvia 100, and a roll of Ilford 400 BW to play with, but I have no idea where to get these developed. Any recommendations for Manahattan or Brooklyn for cheap, good film developing + scans? Not looking for super high res scans, just something decent, while I play and learn.

ken_nyus Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted June 23, 2008 Ken, forgot to ask...which film? andy From my first roll, which was Fuji Superia 100. These are my very first film shots, so I bought 2 rolls of the sort-of vanilla Superia, 2 rolls of Velvia 100 (which I am excited about trying), and two rolls of Illford BW 400 (BH5? I think). The two rolls of superia came out fine so I know the camera works, and I can safely load film! I shot one roll of the BW yesterday, and I was not sure if the local drugstore could process it. I asked the tech at the counter and he said "sure", and I took my chances and gave it to them, and sure enough it came out blank. So now I know the Illford BW is not C41 process. I need to find a place for the non-C41 film. I'd hate to shoot any more rolls till I can find a place to develop them. I want to learn from my mistakes with each roll, so I need the feedback from the development. The M8 is great for learning, just shoot away till you get it right. With film I have to go slower and wait for the roll to come back to learn my lessons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted June 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted June 23, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ken, I send my B&W & color films to: US Color Lab 12 Mercer St New York, NY 10013 (212) 254-7200. Nice guys, tell them you heard about them from the Leica Forum & they usually give a discount. I do my own scans so I'm not aware of market rates on the street. If you like film, squirrel away some pennies for an Epson V700 or a dedicated film scanner like Nikon/Minolta... You will save bigtime in the end. Check the forum for tags with "Scanner" in the film forum and elsewhere. There's a ton of very talented film heads that really know their stuff. I started from below ground and now I feel very comfortable scanning my B&W negs in color, to get more depth & use the color casts in the plastic. Let me know about the Bessa. I've been on & off with west coast Steve to get a used one for the wide angles. MOST IMPORTANT!!! Come & join us in our foray into the jungles of Manhattan. You will be protected by a host of clever photogs masquerading around Grand Central on 7/13 (hope I got that date right). Send me an email address by PM & I'll add you to growing list of Leica NYMetro shooters. Ciao for Now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
