Where to discuss film cameras?
Well I can't believe no one is talking about medium format film camera
use and clearly this newsgroup is all but dead. Any suggestions of web sites etc that are active? I'm a collector of older models and user. TIA for any suggestions. Stephaney |

Stephaney I primarily use these, although the tone at photo.net has gotten somewhat caustic in recent years. http://www.photo.net http://www.apug.org http://www.luminous-landscape.com http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/medium-format-large-format/ Good luck! --Shiv Thanks for the heads up on the caustic site. Not much time to deal with drama related to photography :-) Stephaney |

I'm a collector of older models and user. TIA for any suggestions. I sometimes look for answers at photo.net and apug (better, maybe). This NG is all but dead. I've shot less than 10 rolls of 120 this year (mostly studio). And no 35mm at all. Though the colours are out, and maybe this weekend I'll get the chrome out. My biggest issue is developing film. It's now a trek into the city, about an hour round trip. Just do it yourself. It's easy and not expencive.

C41 processing is easy if you can deal with consistency in time and temp. The big problem is shelf life of the chems. To 'solve' this, check out Trebla chems from CPAC. The chems are packaged for mixing large quantities (10-25Liters), but the packaging gives instructions for mixing one liter at a time. Get a couple of syringes to measure out quantities of a couple mL, and you can mix a tankful. Their RA4 chems are similiarly packaged, and many of their chems are not HazMat, so shipping is less of an issue. As to cost, it's about the same as the local one-hour, except the only fingerprints on the negs will be your own! |

I've thought of learning to develop film myself, but the little film that I shoot makes it not worth it. |

I've thought of learning to develop film myself, but the little film that I shoot makes it not worth it. B&W is a trifle. C-41 is a PITA (esp. prints). E-6 is like B&W but 3X more effort and warmer. So, much easier to head to the store that still develops. -- gmail originated posts filtered due to spam. |
