Anyone shooting film?

I brought both my 645D and 645N with me on my 19 day long trip to Korea. Using primarily colour film, a mixture of Fuji Reala 100 and Fuji Pro 160S. I found a Kodak express around the corner to develop and scan them, and am pretty happy with the results especially as they charged me the equivalent of £17.50 ($28) to develop and scan 7 rolls of 120 film. It costs me more than £10 at home to get 1 film done, albeit black and white!

These are from Jeju island again, off the south coast of Korea.

This is looking from Udo coral beach to Jeju, and Mount Halla

Back on Jeju itself and the temple.

I still need to get my hands on a 80mm for my Mamiya C330 ProF. . . . I plan on taking it along on the wedding shoot this April to get in at least 2 portraits with it, after I complete the major stuff with the mkIII. If anybody has extensive experieince with this system, any last minute pointers/opinions on mechanics, I am all ears. . . . I have an amazing composition in mind for the shoot.

hah- i have a Hasselblad 503c .. its hard to find film for it sometimes but its fun to shoot with, plus.. a ton of old people always come up to you when you're walking around with a camera like that telling you their life stories..

It's not just old people. My Hasselblad (I've owned it for 12 days) is a real magnet. People just stop dead in their tracks.

Hello all, this is a very appropriate topic for myself. I am currently in a black and white class at school so I get to shoot, develop and print in the darkroom, and it has turned out to be the best thing I have ever learned, so far. I actual have more film cameras than digital. Nikon F's FM, Pentax, Argus, Fujica, Canon rebel SII, Brownie box camera and a few others.

My two main film cameras (like my user name might suggest) are two Rolleiflex TLR's, one being a 2.8E3 (80mm) and the other the 'Tele'-Rollei (135mm), that I use almost daily. They were my great uncle's cameras when he was a production photographer in Hollywood back in the day (50s-80s), and he used them to shoot on some very famous movies.

I get a lot of looks with my Rolleiflex cameras too, I even had someone ask if it was a 3D camera because it has two lenses lol.

Just got my first film camera last week. A friend gave me a Canon AT-1 with a 50mm f/1.4scc. Took me forever to figure out how to open the darn thing ;D couldn't wait to get it cleaned up. After getting it all nice and shiny, the first photo I took I looked directly at the back of the camera expecting to see an LCD screen :eek: hoping to buy some FD mount lenses on eBay. Any recommendations on what I should seek out or be wary of with specific lenses. Thanks

For you folks who are shooting 35mm film, if you haven't..... you should really be getting into medium format! It's too awesome! 35mm feels too small, Shoot some 6x7 format stuff, oh my god. Amazing.

Here are a few favs from last year, the one black and white in the studio (head shot) is PanF+ ISO 50 film, and the other black and white (is actually a behind the scenes shot) is Tri-X 400.

The color ones are Fuji Pro 160s (Bench shot) and Kodak Portra VC 400 (roof top).

www.keh.com is the place to be!!! fair prices and pretty accurate gear assessments/ratings.

I have a 645 and a 6x7, I love both. Next up is a C330f (a 6x6 Mamiya, twin lens reflex camera).

do you do your own developing? In don't really have anywhere to setup a dark room, in the process of building a studio at home though and the labs charge sooo much to develop film
