Nice review Aoluain.

Might pick up a roll at http://thephotoshop.ie/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;. Have yet to make a purchase from the site. Been thinking of getting a developing kit too but need to learn a bit more first.

Out of curiousity, have you a 120 film that you really like and use often? I have a Lubitel 2 here (haven’t used it yet) that I want to try out.

Cool setup Isabella! That print looks nice. Will you be taking a picture of it? Curious to see the final result.

Thank you Martin for that link.

I have read a lot of personal opinions and reviews on the net regarding the Epson scanners and they say the same as you. I don’t own a digital camera with macro lens unfortunately. I have also read of good results digitizing film that way: http://www.petapixel.com/2012/12/24/how-to-scan-your-film-using-a-digital-camera-and-macro-lens/

For the price of the Epson scanner, I think I may be better off selling my film camera and buying a Leica M8. I don’t have a digital camera right now. Shooting film can be hugely rewarding but it’s just that recently it’s kind of like photoblock and I just don’t want/enjoy shooting… I tend to grab the iPhone to take pictures. I have a Pentax K1000 with lenses in need of repair so will get that fixed up and more than likely get an M8.

For the meantime, I am going to bring my camera with me as much as possible. I have loads of film here and would be nice to get through a roll or more a week. I think I need to discipline my shooting and workflow a bit. It has been a steep learning curve this 35mm photography!

Cool best of luck Damian. They certainly are very cool and sought after. I know Daido Moriyama uses them. Ebay might be a better bet for you in that case.

Hi Johnny

Curious if you send your film to the states to get scanned?

Japan Camera Hunter (Bellamy Hunt) has a few for sale at the moment. I wouldn’t know how much postage would cost. A quick email would find out. He seems to sell a good few Ricohs and is a Ricoh fanuser too. Probably not your cheapest option.. He has a good reputation though and can source some pretty tasty cameras in mint condition.

I don’t know anything about David Bailey but will check it out. Just googled his name and have seen that portrait he did of the Kray brothers before.

Thanks for the heads up Snapper.

I would disagree with b/w version because I think it wouldn’t add anything to scenary– I think it’s all about the dusk lightning–

Not really a fan of B&W and this time think it’s all about the lights also, so wouldn’t like to lose them.

Looks like I am a B&W weirdo then :lol: I did a few different B&W conversions and really liked the feel of it. Regardless of picture color, I think it’s a nice photo of cool urban architecture. Well done Sndipo.

I liked the lights in the photo. I’d be curious to see what it looks like in black and white. Nice shot ;)
