I finally got round to developing the roll of Kentmere 100 in 120 that I shot at the Norwich meetup I went to recently. Rolleiflex 2.8e Kentmere ISO 100 (120) Godox AD200 strobe into a Godox lantern softbox (I believe) Ilford ID-11

Where would people recommend for getting say 4 cut rolls of film scanned at a decent resolution, at a decent price and a decent timeframe? UK recommendations

Blimey, SX70 film is rather tricky to get hold of! The B&W version doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere :( I hope they're not going to discontinue it!

I attended a film photography meetup in Norwich with the Shoot Film Norwich group today. Lots of chats and some photos made.
@peterlangman.bsky.social
brought a flash and softbox along, which was cool to use with my Rolleiflex

That's the stoma supplies refreshed for the next couple of months or so. Bags, elastic tape strips, dry wipes, wet wipes, adhesive remover, disposal bags and some hand sanitiser.

Phone 'scans' of a few images from the West Suffolk Classics 2025 event yesterday. Kentmere 100 in my Rolleiflex 2.8e. A couple using Rolleinar close-up attachments.

I thought I'd broken my Rolleiflex after just a couple of rolls though it. Turns out that if you select a slow shutter speed (like 1/30th) whilst having say f/22 selected and then move to wider aperture, the shutter speed won't let you go any faster than 1/30th until you go to f/22 again. Capish?

Well, I guess it is mirrorless in a way... Poor attention to detail saying it's got a 35mm lens, when it clearly states 25mm on it. Do better, Argos 🙄😂

Rolleiflex is definitely working nicely! I developed a roll of Kodak Tri-x 120 from yesterday, did quick inversions in Snapseed and I'm liking what I see, including some images with Rolleinar close-up attachments.

I messed up with timings today and missed the photowalk I was supposed to be going to in London today, but I managed to go on another one after seeing a friend's Instagram story. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with like-minded film photography geeks :)

Looking forward to getting my Rolleiflex back from the Rolleiflex wizard. It developed a fault a while back and I put it to one side and kept putting it off. Dropped it to him less than a week ago and it's fixed 😍

Bumped into this guy dressed up as a 1940s press photographer at the "Bottisham at war" event today. He had a 1930s old standard Rolleiflex, a Contax iiia and a Kodak folder. Had to take a couple of photos of him on 4x5.

Not a totally terrible result for my first try with my coffee can pinhole. Seeing that I don't really know what the size of the hole is and I also don't have a proper way of developing 5x7 paper (dev'd in a 1L Paterson tank.

Hacked together a 5x7in pinhole camera from an illy coffee can (it's the perfect size!) and a square of Vimto soft drinks can. Sprayed (badly) with some black spray paint I had laying about. It ain't pretty, but hopefully it'll work. I didn't measure the hole, just made it as small as I could.

My first cyanotype print for quite a while. Shot at a recent 1940s event on my 1940s Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5. Interestingly, I mixed the separate component parts (A & B) of the chems about 3 years ago. Good to see they're still very much usable!

Really enjoying the combination of Leica M2 and Kodak XX/5222 (from This Is How I Roll) at the moment. Helps that it dries really flat, making contact sheets a breeze!

A friend of mine picked this up for me at a car boot sale recently. Looks to be working OK. I've stuck a roll of TMAX 100 in it and will try it out soon. Strangely I see the filter is green, rather than yellow.

Today marks my first "stomaversary". It was on this date a year ago that I had my surgery. I went down to theatre around 10AM and it was a 5.5hr operation. After that came the long road to recovery. Tonight I'm celebrating with a pint of cider and Mac n cheese with friends.

Something just feels a bit wrong attaching a modern flash to a 1950s folding medium format camera 😂 Works though! Plus the Franka Solida iii has a 1/500th flash sync speed, apparently!

OK, hive mind. Anyone know what this re-rolled film might be? It has the word Vista on the cannister, but certainly isn't Agfa Vista 😂 A friend gave it to me in a swap, but she wasn't sure what it was either as she was given it too.

Took my first new member through their community darkroom induction today. Turned into more of a workshop, refreshing them on how to load a film into a tank, develop it and then make a simple darkroom print using an enlarger. A lot of information to fit into a relatively short amount of time.

What better way to while away a dull and chilly winter day (in the darkroom). This was taken on a trip down to Brighton with the OnlyFilms lot. 📷 Hasselblad 503cxi + Carl Zeiss f2.8 80mm Planar + extension tubes (can't remember which one) 🎞️ Kodak Tri-x 400 📄 Ilford MGRC Pearl

I did a contact print of another one of the glass plate negatives I bought the other week. I used Google Lens to find out that it's of Aberystwyth. Again, no idea of the photographer or when it was taken.
