I'm a huge fan of film! I understand and appreciate the benefits of using digital, but I think there is still something to be said for the "look" of film.

1: Canon EOS 3, 85L, Kodak Tri-X 400
2: Canon EOS 3, 85L, Kodak Tri-X 400
3: Mamiya RZ67 Pro II, 210mm Mamiya APO-Sekor Z, Kodak Portra 400NC

All of these were shot with a Leica M6 + 35mm Zeiss ZM. All Tri-X 400.

such great gear, and nice shots too- but why aren't you developing it yourself?

B&W is easy, all you need is a dark-ish room or changing bag, a tank, and $25 worth of chemicals will last you a while. This way you get the full experience, more control, and it pays for itself after a few rolls. I can't THINK of paying to have my B&W machine developed, or paying somebody else to soup it.

I'm not trying to be an elitist prick or anything, just recommending you try it out, if you haven't done it already. I have about a...Show more →

didnt take it as you being an elitist at all! its actually a good suggestion. i guess I am just starting to get my feet wet with film, so I dont want to take on too much too soon...sounds silly, but I am still concentrating on loading film properly, focusing accurately, and exposing properly.

truth is that I only started taking photos about 4 years ago and started with a digital rebel, not film. i only recently started shooting film when a relative gave me an old yashica. I got two BW rolls developed and saw the difference that everyone was talking about. hell, my wife even can see the difference in the BWs (and she pays NO attention to photography).

I'll have to do some reading on how to develop my own stuff. thanks for the kick in my butt!

BTW, really nice photos everyone!

I started shooting film with a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000. I got it on eBay for a whole $20 with a 35-50 zoom lens

If anyone is thinking about trying out film, the cheapest way to buy into Zeiss lenses is to grab a Yashica. The next thing I need to do is convince my girlfriend that I need a Leica (boy would an M6 be nice

).

That would be a few shots from my 1V and my 17-40L (now sold) on expired Astia100f scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 5000.

Matt: How do you like the Ilford chromogenic B&W? I tried it a couple of times but it seemed too grainy. It's a good chance that I had the exposure off though, so that's why I'm asking

nice! which 6x6 folder is it? I just picked up a Zeiss Ikon 6x9 folder, I enjoy it! It's a great hiking camera!

Daniel - it is an Agfa Isolette with an uncoupled RF. I was very pleased when I saw the first images - and it has the mid-tier lens.

I can only imagine how good the Zeiss will be!

It is grainy (which is odd because a lot of people used to claim the chromogenic films were too fine grained to look right..) but noticably less so if you nail the exposure. A lot of my scans (like those posted) look grainier than they are because the scanning service I use tends to block up the grain a bit.. It's still worth it for me though because I can get it developed and scanned onto CD very easily and cheaply, and anything great I can replrint from the negative or get scanned properly..

I only tried it out once when I first started shooting film, but ended up just sticking with Kodak. I guess I'll give another go, but I've got about 20 rolls of the Kodak BW400CN in my freezer, so it might take awhile

Get an F5 with 8fps.. Won't take you long to rip through that lot...

I've got an EOS 3 with power booster that shoots at 7fps so it should only take me a little while longer than if I grabbed an F5

cause tri-x is wonderful

That's why I shoot B&W on film. I use tri-x from 35mm all the way to 8x10 sheet film, it's a great film!
