First of all, this is made by Kodak, just packaged and distributed by a third party. Also, here in Canada, Portra 800 is hard to come by. My local photo store has it priced at $34. So a $22 CAD roll of 800 iso daylight balanced 35mm film is very impressive. Hope other people update this post...

Actually, after double checking, I seem to have some mirror slip? I don't know exactly what to look for, and it's hard to photograph properly (I put the FX-3 Super 2000 in bulb mode and fired the shutter to show the possible "misalignment" better). Is this actually mirror slip? If it is, is...

Hi Don, I have a Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, to be specific. I luckily got it in almost brand new condition, and the mirror seems to be fine. Thanks for the tip, though.

Hi dokko, I just shot a test roll and developed using similar methodology (even the same lens, the 28mm f/2.8) These were shot around f/11, then scanned at f/10 on my 28-55 Canon kit lens. I removed the diopter and punched in in post to remove as much CA as possible. I also verified that both...

Hi Mark, I checked the plate, it seems to be fine. Prior rolls and rolls after haven't had similar softness. Maybe I messed up the loading for this roll though! Shooting a test roll soon to get to the bottom of this.

I believe so - tomorrow I'll hopefully shoot a test roll and see if I get similar results (while trying to control for the scanning and other factors)

Wow - I did not even notice! Some of the softness is my scan may come down to the slight warping (I don't know how else to explain it) of the +2 magnifier on my t2i kit lens. I don't think that explains the whole issue though :/

Hi koraks, I don't believe I missed focus in scanning. Unfortunately I don't have a loupe (I'm a student, and most of the stuff I'm doing is very DIY). Here are some of the full negatives if those are helpful in solving this puzzle: Here are some results I've gotten with proper development...

Hi everyone, I'm a long-time lurker, but just made an account to ask about this problem I'm having. I recently developed a roll of bulk-rolled 35mm Arista EDU 200 (which I've been lead to believe is the same as Fomapan 200) that I rated at 1600 EI. I know - a 3 stop push. I understand that...
