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 check it out first if you can, especially if you're buying in bulk and it's out of date - get some kind of a guarantee if possible.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!

How do they turn old film formats in to HD?
Q. To me it's like trying to turn a .JPG that's already pixelated in to a .BMP - impossible. So how do they do it? I recently saw an advertisement saying that a Satellite provider is offering old James Bond films in HD so I know it's possible. Any answers are appreciated as this has really got me curious! Thanks :)

A. They just make digital copies of the best, usually first-generation, copy of a work available. Once digitized, they stretch and crop the new version to fit the new display format. Another advantage of digitizing "originals" is there is no degradation of quality in successive generations; that is, a copy of a copy of a copy is as good as the "original."

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.

What's the difference between 35mm and 120 medium format film?
Q. I'm looking into buying a lomography camera (holga) however it take 120 medium format film rather then 35mm. I know 35mm is more common, but what's the difference between the two? Can you still get the 120 developed in most places like walmart, costco, etc that develop 35mm?

A. I am a huge fan of 120 film format cameras, but if you are new to film photography, I would recommend going with a 35mm film camera. With 35mm film, you can get a 36 exposure roll for about the same cost as a roll of 120 film (12 or 16 exposures). Likewise, the cost of processing will be much more for the 120 film. With 35mm film, there are still many 1-hour labs that can process the film for you, and put scans of your images on a CD. Using 35mm film will allow you to shoot many more photos. You will be free of the fear of wasting film, which can be a problem when making a few bad images is all part of learning about film photography. Bad shots are taken with digital cameras, but you never really notice them because all you have to do… [cont.]

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.

What kind of film do Holga cameras use?
Q. I know they use 120 medium size format film, but is that like normal film? Like the Kodak or Fuji ones? Or do you have to buy them from certain stores? If so, from where?
Asked by bizzlocke - Tue Jun 19 21:21:04 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. You can use about any professional film you would use in 35mm in the Holga, as most professional films are available in both 35mm and 120. Because of the way the Holga's shutter works, though, you'd be best to stick to either color print film or black and white negative film. Some good choice for color negative film would be Kodak Portra 400VC, or Fuji NPH. For black and white film, I would suggest Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5+. Any camera store catering to professional photographers should be able to supply you with 120 film. If you don't have one nearby, you can order from either B&H Photo or Adorama in New York. Both are inexpensive and get it to you fast.
