@spookyphoto - here in the UK, I send my films to John Salim who does first class E6 processing. If you’re looking for a lab where you live, approach an independent Super 8 lab that processes 100D, if they’re small, they may be able to accommodate you. @armadsen - mostly a B and a little bit...

I've been doing slides with my Minox subminature since 2021. It all started here. I recorded my 2021 slide show here, and here is the one from 2022. 2023 was a disaster and in 2024 I didn't make a recording of the screen. So here's a recording of my summer Minox snaps from 2025. I take this...

Film width is an interesting hypothesis. I no longer have a vernier or micrometer but could place a genuine Minox film strip next to a slit one and compare under a loupe. But that wouldn't account for why the issue is with slide film and never B&W. Is slide film much thicker? Could the light...

Hmm, thanks, all. Unloaded, I've never found an issue, the take up spool turns and the shutter sounds right. I slit my film with one of these: https://www.camerhack.it/product/mnmnx/ and I think it works really well. Film doesn't feel too tight when I load it but maybe I could work more on...

Recent 320T (exp 2006) that I have shot was a bit green and required 10cc magenta filtration alongside an 85 filter for daylight use.

Yes, I may well do this as the camera has been repaired twice now. The message from the technician last time was to ask if I slit / loaded my own film as I may be loading too long strips. I've been conscious of this but it doesn't seem to have helped. Nice camera the LX, they sell for around...

Hello Subminiature friends! Have a look at this picture, the roll of film (Velvia 50) starts at the bottom with #1 and proceeds toward the right. There are two issues I've highlighted as A and B. A = shutter does not fire but camera winds on, two frames lost. B = shutter does fire but camera...

That seems like the best approach. A skateboard forum I'm part of has forums for tattoos and punk rock which are not necessarily components in the art of skateboarding. But they're easy enough to ignore. Interesting the debates around the boundaries. I'd like a specific place here for etching...

Strange debate, rather like a poetry forum deciding to allow novels because novelists also use words.

I've had some good success recently, I found two rolls of Velvia 50 out in the wild on the shelves in a camera shop which was an amazing find. Then, a roll of Velvia 100 I ordered way back in July turned up and I bought a roll of Velvia 50 on eBay. All films are 2027 expiry. That will be enough...

With a lens that wide, having a good close focus (<0.7m) would be beneficial.

I was able to shine a light into the bellows in a darkened room and I can see a pinhole on the left side at the bottom. That would make sense given the light leak at the top part of the images. It was a very bright day when I shot the film and it was 400 speed. I also think I was walking around...

Thanks, All. Yes, that pattern is very puzzling. I had hoped to inspect the camera last night but things got in the way. Hopefully tonight when dark I can shine a torch inside. There's a fellow who sells bellows in the UK, they cost more than the camera did but I'll go ahead if I can be sure...

I bought an Isolette II from a local market for a very cheap price, attracted by the condition of the lens and that there was a film in the camera I could process. A fresh roll of Delta to test the camera has produced these results. Do these look like bellows light leaks? You'll see frame 7...

Whenever we talk about this, it reminds me of a letter sent into a UK photography magazine (Practical Photography?) in the mid 1990s. In the published letter a chap enthused about scanning all his negatives so he could view them on his new home computer and of course, he could then toss all the...
