I was thinking about getting a Pentax 17. Instead I'm going to stick some tape over the rear screen of my old K5. Go and take some photos. Then leave my sd card on the side for two weeks until I finally look at them.
I've just rediscovered my old Ricoh FF-9S and fired off 36exp of Ilford HP5 wandering around the garden because of you Lee. 👍My daughter is going to The Green Man music festival down in the Brecon Beacons next week and I'm going to give her my Ricoh and two rolls of Ilford HP5 (400 iso/asa) to have fun with. Black and White rules okay.
I've only shot a little film, medium format. I used Analogue wonderland, no problems. I found Exposure Film Lab UK equally good & cheaper if I saved up 3 films to process at once. I'm sure you'll get a good result either way.
@@LeeIveson it depends how urgently I need the scans - if I'm checking out a camera which I want to sell on ebay I might get them developed and scanned so that I get the results on Dropbox quickly. I'm using a Plustek Opticfilm 8100 so limited to 35mm (including half frame of course).
Remember, photoshop pre-dates digital cameras by at least a decade. Serious film photographers were always editing their images - some did it via traditional techniques in the darkroom, but many did it digitally. For me, I need at least to rotate & crop - I can't stand when the verticals & horizontals are off, but maybe that's just me.
Lee I have 3 camera stores with in 15 minutes of me all develop film thr largest retailer is Samy's camera I will probably use them for getting my film developed for the Spotamatic SP11 as I have shot half the roll I have Fuji ASA 200 film in the camera I should finish the roll this week and take it in for processing I am currently messing with my video cameras a Victor 1080 P which came as a kit with a under water housing all for $ 35.00 . My Fimi Palm gimble camera good daylight camera with the stabilized gimble head and my GoPro Hero 11 I got the Media Mod for it the other day and want to experiment with the microphone setup I have a Rode wired mic I use with Fimi Palm I'll try it with the GoPro and see how it works I have a adjustable light bar I can use in the cold shoe of the media mod on the GoPro for lighting as I can adjust brightness and color with the light bar
First thing to know before your develop your first roll of film... the word "film" has but one syllable. In Oregon, USA we go to Shutterbug, or mail order from Pacific Photo Lab.
😊😊😊 In parts of northern England and all of Ireland film is pronounced fil-m. Do we have an American trying to teach an Englishman to pronounce English? If the Venerable Bede had owned a camera back in 700AD I bet he would have used fil-m in it to take photos of those naughty Vikings.
@@welshskies Your argument is simply that people in your region mispronounce the word. Implicit in your description is that most Englishman can pronounce it! You're basically saying, "We luv-um er hillbilly speakums"
@@railsponyIn the British Isles the English language has a multiplicity of accents and pronunciations all of which was viewed as acceptable even on The BBC. The word "film" is generally pronounced as fil-m or fillum in the whole of Ireland, most of Scotland, the North East of England (where Lee comes from) and Liverpool (Merseyside) in North West England. The days of "received pronunciation" (Queen's English) as being the only acceptable form of British English are long gone. As far as I know In the US the pronunciation of the English language is far more standardised than it is here in the UK, Lee speaks in a version of British English called Geordie (which includes fil-m). If you are not familiar with "Geordie" I suggest you Google it. Sometimes you can pin down where someone comes from in the UK to within twenty or thirty miles within a sentence or two. For instance Liverpool and Manchester are only thirty miles apart but English is pronounced completely differently, in Liverpool they say "fil-m" but in Manchester they say "film". I'm actually Welsh and in my nation we have our own wonderful language (Celtic Brythonic, nothing like English) which comes in a couple of different varieties (South and North) as well as a couple of different versions of English. The only people who speak perfect English in England (or the British Isles) are generally from overseas who have leant it. Ah.... the word "learnt" that's another good word for you. 🤣🤣🤣

@@spacemonkey200 To be fair the K5 is a brilliant camera so that's not a bad idea!

That's awesome to read! That music festival should make for some great black & white images!
Analogue wonderland are great. I always use them for my film scans
Very easy to use service, so I think I picked the right lab to develop the film!
I love the use of "Durham City" to differentiate it from Durham County.
I can't wait to see these photos. The suspense is killing me... 😫😭
@@spacemonkey200 Me too haha!

I've just sent a film off to Analogue Wonderland. 😊🤞
Nice! I was happy with the service this guys provided, very easy to use 👍
I'm using Tanners Bank Darkroom in North Shields for developing and scanning film (I also scan my own).
@@nicklatheron8795 Maybe self scanning in the future may be an option 🤔

Lee. I think the whole point of the Pentax 17 is to send the film off and get 6x4 prints back?
It depends, I'd like to edit the scans too. But I can always print from the negatives I suppose.
