using same films and process it in different developer will give you different result as well

a lot of time meh? i thought it's a very simple process. a lot of steps yes but it's not hard lah. wait till you do C-41 (colour negatives) you need water at 36 celcius

hours?
sweaty palms? handling the films?
finger prints on the negatives?
omg!

ermm, one questions here...
why the majority of the photographs i have seen here are very 'lomo-ish'.
film photography shouldn't be like that right?

but why were you using expired films? (a lomo trend)

and your black and white photos, seriously aren't that good tonality speaking.
i used to teach black and white processing and printing and to be honest with you, it's a fail student's work.
hope you don't take it in heart.

i am thrill that there are people who have the commitment of self processing the films and stuffs but i guess maybe you do not have people to guide you to do it the right way... or you prefer it that day: water stains, dust, low contrast, etc...

that is why i am asking.
again, i am not looking for a war

wah guys,
why wanna TT with me? hahahaa
i did a talk for photomalaysia members' night last week and i was showing them my photos.

by the way, all my works are photographed in films. and it has been like 10 years since i last do my own black and white. however, i was still teaching black and white in a uni until 4 years ago when they decided to go digital.

i dont mind giving some tips on how to process films. hahahaa it took me like 5 years to prefect my skill in using HP5 (was only using this film last time) processed in LC-29 or ID-11 to get the maximum tonal range.

eh, i suggest to use stop bath as it will prolong your fixer's strength. if you can't afford it, can use those clear vinegar. if you can't stand the smell, get those without smell.

do you guys use wetting agent? it's important to use it. don't get the ilford one as it's crap. get the kodak one

it says there canon prima BF-90 and canon prima super 28N

Hongraphics,

fantastic photos. the first photo do not make much sense though

eh yoong you dont do contact print?

keat camera along jalan pudu. next to 'fei poh chicken rice'

shashinki an online store sells them.

the last time i was in YL CAMERA, i saw they have a carl zeiss rangefinder

just tell the lab people that you want the film to be pushed. they will know what to do.

they basically develop the film for a longer time

it was a model before superia. it was discontinued when fuji allegedly improved the film and name it superia

oh ya?
maybe some countries didn't get the superia model?
or they remain the same name.
like how certain country have different name for the same product thingy

hmm, you might be right.
but i remember seeing these before superia came out.
some countries might still be using this though.

eh mastering89, how much per roll anyway?

send it to shops. takes 15 minutes nia. depends on shops though but the whole process takes 13 to 15 minutes to complete.

rx330, where are you based?
1 week is bad leh.
but then again, with the booming of digital photography, mini labs are closing faster than usd dropping in values lol. most of the labs returned/sold the film processing machines as they can't maintain it due to low amount of films to be processed

rx330,
is it convenience for you to go down to singapore?
i know some of the better labs in singapore that do processing.

did you process the film yourself?

it's dusty and notice there is a sort of 'bulan sabit' (lol) on the 3rd photo?
it's mishandling of the negative. accidentally 'folded' the negative.

but on the other hand, it gives a very nice 'feel' to it.

hahaa
dont worry about it.
self processing is fun. and tedious at times. once you are serious about it, you will realise that there is a huge world of black and white darkroom technique waiting to be discovered.

dust and scratches are normal for beginners but try to minimise it.
