A. All the above answers are excellent - I'll just add that you want to be careful what you buy. If the film stock has been stored poorly, subject to heat, excess cold or humidity it may be ruined. Just don't get tempted to buy a load and get lumbered with bad / redundant stock... check it out first if you can, especially if you're buying in bulk and it's out of date - get some kind of a guarantee if possible. Good luck!

A. Pretty much all shops that develop film offer you the choice to put them on disc. Jessops, Snappy snaps and i think even Boots offer it too.

What film format should I shoot for artistic means?
Q. I'd like to start shooting film, I know I'd like to shoot with a 50mm f/1.8 for that large DOF. Is it worth starting this having no darkroom experience and having labs develop my film? What format should I go with? Looking to primarily shoot with higher ISO monochromatic films... Any input at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Asked by Lost soul - Tue Jun 23 08:29:02 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. f/1.8 won't give you large Depth of Field. In the 35mm format you would have to stop down to f/11 or f/16 to get large Depth of Field with a 50mm lens. For the greatest artistic means and to avoid the unavoidable demise of film look at coating your own 8x10" plates. Amazing look. Each is one of a kind like a painting.

A. Well, scanning them of course. If you want to buy one, I'd recommend getting an HP or Canon all in one printer/scanner/copier/fa x. If you don't want to buy a scanner, why not take the pictures to Wal Mart and scan them to a disc. But, having done that, you need to get a good photo editing software package to touch up the images or manipulate them. Adobe Photodeluxe is a very good program for novice types to use for photo editing and retouch.

A. Photo print sizes are not dependent on film format size... except that the maximum size of a good quality print is lower with smaller film formats. There's no reason you couldn't get a decent 4x6 from a 110. But I really wouldn't suggest going higher, unless you like blur and grain.

Asked by pr0teins - Fri Mar 31 18:46:56 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When you take it out of your camera, make sure you roll it tightly so no light will get to the film. In college when I used a medium format camera, all I did was take it out of the camera (it winds the film for you) and make sure the paper part that is visible is tightly wrapped around the spool. Don't unroll it any. Just make sure when unloading the film you have a tight grip on it so no light gets exposed. I used to store my film after I used it just like any other film in my camera bag. You don't need to put it in a special bag to take it to get processed--I never had any problems with light leaks. Keep in mind, if you do have issues with light leaks, it may be in your camera, Holgas tend to do that a lot. Just apply tape around the… [cont.]
