Im thinking of trying out the 35mm Camera
-
Hi All,
Im thinking of doing a 35mm Camera, not for wedding. MAYBE portrait (model)Which would be better 35mm Camera or Hasselblad film?
AND how to develop both 35mm Camera and Hasselblad film?Im sure theres a 35mm film hardware you can upload onto your computer.
Is there a cool link I should check out?
Hi Johnny
A bit lost reading your question, Hassleblad is a brand of medium format camera so I’m a bit lost as to what you want answered. There are plenty of great second hand 35mm cameras out there to buy for very little money, if you use say a digital Canon slr then your lens will fit the eos canon film cameras bodies and the same with Nikon. Film can be cheap enough to buy but you’ll only take a max of 36 exp per roll so you may not like that if you’re used to taking a lot of images in digital. Plenty of fun processing your own B&W and you’ll get plenty of supplies from “the fitz”, http://www.thephotoshop.ie

Cheers,
Sorry for not making myself clear.I’m interesting in doing a 35mm film camera but I’m just wonder how or what’s the best way to get develop without getting a darkroom?
Also I’m interesting in getting a hassleblad BUT those HAVE to have a darkroom?Paul Wh wrote:

Never thought of it…will have a look at the film camera that can fit to my canon lenses :-)
Hi Johnny
If you’re a canon user you can pick up a pro body like the Eos 3 or Eos 1 for under €200, Conns sometimes has them, what may be a good way to start is to use cheap colour film and have it processed and scanned tp CD, you may only pay abour €3.99 for this service + film cost, I picked up a load of in-date Kodak colour film in a discount store for €1.49 for 24 exp. I’d master this first, going down the road of a Hassleblad is a different story, you may get 15 exp on a single roll of film and to get it processed and scanned in say Conns or Gunns may cost you up to €18 per roll, (don’t even mention slide), start on the 35mm and work from there. One thing mind you when you know that you’ve only a few frames left on that roll will sharpen your general approach to taking pictures, you lay off the shutter button a lot more.

Hi Johnny,
You don’t need a darkroom for either 35mm or 120 to develop a roll of film just for printing.
The only time you need darkness is when loading a developing tank and that can be done using a film changing
bag (thephotoshop.ie sells them).Of course, as Paul suggests you could try out some film, get it processed and scanned locally just to see if
its something you like doing…Cheers..I will have a look at the 35mm canon camera.
Will have a look today..once I’m feeling confident then move onto the better film rolls,etc..looking forward to that. Guess what?i took afew photos of john minivan as he was posing for my project last summer and that how he was talking to me and got me thinking of getting a 35mm cameraJohn Minivan, great photographer. Have a small book of his photos. There was also a good programme on RTE(?) last year or so about him.
Johnny, out of interest are you thinking of b+w and/or colour ?
Hi cheers! Yeah he was a really nice man.. I would defo like to go out for a drink or two with him.. :-D he even gave me his email..
Im defo interesting in Black/White Portrait.. (maybe colour in odd time)
I got an offer on those Rolleiflex for 150eur and Nikon F’s with Lens for 200eur,
Isnt that an good offer?I dont think canon efs lenses will work on film bodies, dont know what the situation with crop sensor nikons is
canon ef-s lenses will not work on eos film bodies!
and more than likely the same with the nikon format too, the film bodies are “full frame” !
