Could it be an E-6 film? I've never shot any E-6 and I don't know how the density would look if it were cross processed in C-41 as was done with this roll. I processed two other rolls of C-41 at the lab at the same time and they came out fine, and all my other rolls from this lab have always...

I've gotten a test roll back from the lab, developed in C41. It is DENSE (my other C41 rolls came out fine). The edge markings are really hard to make out, but it's definitely Fuji. Says 100-911. Any ideas what this is?

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone ❤❤! I've read all your replies and narrowed it down to "only" about 10ish systems to look in to 😆. I've got quite some reading to do (and price comparisons) before I narrow things down further but at the moment I am leaning towards the various...

Hello everyone! I'm thinking about taking a trip to Europe early next year and wanted to pick up a lightweight mechanical MF camera; ideally 6x7 (but anything 6x6 or up is fine), ideally letting me put in 35mm adapter spools, and ideally having a 35mm equivalent lens of 50 mm or wider (wider...

Very interesting, thanks for the info. In that case this might be a C41 film indeed. I'll find out soon enough!

I plan to process it anyjow, that's not why I posted this thread! I guess I should have worded my post better -- I'm not seeking a positive identification per se so much as suggestions as to what it *could* be based on the information that I have. Most 35mm films weren't sold in bulk rolls as...

I'm considering doing this, although ideally I don't want to waste film (since I still need to do a bracketed test) or mix up a batch of developer (haven't got any black and white to process at the minute)

Hello everyone. The other week I nabbed a bulk roll of expired film for cheap cheap cheap on ebay. I was actually buying two pretty grotty bulk loaders with the intention of testing them, cleaning them up and maybe taking them apart and fixing any problems before maybe going on to resell them...

Genius! I do wish I could scan the border too, but this is pretty good, and it's completely free.

I haven't worked out a good way to scan Instax on my flatbed yet myself :/ I've got an Epson V700 or V750 (can't remember), and the problem of focal plane, avoiding newton rings, keeping the prints flat, and lighting them... Unsure how to begin to tackle some of these. It'll be a fun challenge...

I just had a thought -- has anyone tried bulk loading and shooting 16 mm a medium format camera? I think you could get some crazy crazy wide panoramas at the cost of resolution

Walked into a film shop and saw that they were selling portra cheaper than gold. I think you could make a pretty educated guess as to what I bought when I was there ;)

Thanks everyone! I'm absolutely tickled that this worked out as well as it did—no light leaks at all, and with the frame counter now fixed I should be able to get a full 20 exposures from a roll. I looove panoramas... this technique is gonna pay dividends. Planning on running some Aerocolor next...

I've just gotten the negatives back from the lab and finished scanning them. Don't have a way to scan the rebate area to get the full use of the image area, but here are a few of the shots I took scanned with normal Epson 135 holders. I also shot some portraits and portrait-adjacent photos...

I've just used two teeny tiny drops of superglue spread with a toothpick and it seems to have made a very solid connection. It's held very strongly in place and spins nice and smoothly. Still need to run a roll through but things are looking good. I wonder why Mamiya had them as separate parts...
