Love that Pen FT
What film and how did you digitize? Nice images.I began posting here in the color section because I had intended to learn how to develop by going straight to C41. Ultimately I ended up going with B&W and DF96 just to get a taste. These images are from my first attempt, which took place Saturday. I'm pretty happy with the results, although I'm sure those with a critical eye will find issues. I figure I'll get better as I go, may try some other methods and chemicals. Anyway, like I said, I'm happy for a first attempt, and I honestly don't know how it could've been easier.

Very nice.Olympus Pen FT, 40mm 1.4, TriX, DF96 Monobath
Thanks.
Kodak T-Max 100. Digitized with a Panasonic G9 and 25mm lens w/extension tube on a copy stand. Negative was in a holder made for a flatbed scanner, light is an LED lightboard. Converted and processed in Darktable.
Awesome.
I saw your DIY Film dryer on Flickr, cool stuff. Youre going all in it seems with a lot of smart solutions.
I dry film in old freestanding Cedar Closet, I have no ventialtion in it just let it take it's time. Too dry and you can get some curls/cupping in my experience.

I posted that with a description in the forum:
Film Drying 2021 | Photrio.com Photography Forums
I do like to create things to solve a problem. I usually end up in the hardware store looking for some obscure item I can use for something other than it's intended purpose! Not always successful, but this turned out ok. I may add some Velcro to a couple spots along the sides to keep it closed up and make sure the air has to go through the filters.
I don't know a lot about film, but I do know about wood. If you're concerned about drying too quickly don't use wood. It will absorb the moisture out of the air like a sponge. If you do use it I'd put a pan of water in the bottom to maintain some moisture, something wide and flat for more surface area. Unless you must have the aromatics from the cedar, you could spray the interior with poly coating to reduce absorption.
Nice shot. What is that behind the wheel?Canon FT | Canon FL 58mm F/1.2 | Rollei Retro 80S @ ISO25 | Cinestill DF96
LOL. Does this forum have a WTF thread?Olympus Pen FT, 40mm 1.4, TriX, DF96
I might still coat it for even better dust proofing as you suggested, I usually hit it with a water spray bottle, mist it before I put film in and then leave it overnight. It works well.

Outstanding

Nice clean uncluttered shot. The lines draw me to that building, and now I want to know what's inside it.
Thanks. DF96 and Ultrafine Extreme films have been a decent affordable combo for me, unfortunately the film has been out of stock for a while now and I'm running low on the 400.

Love the contrast on the flower shot.
Thanks man, also made me realize I listed that film wrong, It's Fomapan 100, not UE400.
I Really like the old Vito CLR, capable of some really great imagery if I do my part.
Meter is dead as it's just old, I use sunny 16 or sometimes get a shadow reading with my Cellphone for when I feel I need to be more precise.
I had really good experiences with Foma films and DF96 so far.

I could post more, but they all look exactly the same. I would appreciate it if someone can tell me what I did. I know it wasn't the camera because the marks go right outside the frame. Are these air bubbles?

I fumbled with that film in the bag for over a half an hour trying to get it on the reel. I was so frustrated I almost gave up, but knew I couldn't take my arms out of the bag for fear of light. Every time I got it started, it would pop out. I could feel the film was buckling and wouldn't stay straight. I just kept trying (and cussing) until it finally fed on the spool. Afterwards I decided to practice with the developed roll since it's wasted anyway and...damn...the film is wider than the reel, and not by a little, it overlaps the edge of the reel by 1/2 the thickness of the plastic. This causes the film to buckle as it's being fed and pop out.
The question: Is it normal for 127 (or any film for that matter) to be wider than the developing reel, or is this just really poor quality control on the part of the film supplier? As I understand it new 127 is not being manufactured, the suppliers are cutting down 120 and respooling it. Is it possible that the film was touching the layers on each side from being buckled in the reel and contributed to this mess? Would a stainless tank and reel allow for more play?
Disappointed because this was the first roll out of my Baby Brownie Special. I had hoped for something more.

Reticulation from temperature changes?
It had to get pretty warm in that bag if you had it in there for that long, and humid too.
What film?

Also Ilford had a mottling issue related to backing paper, I know little about it but here's a thread: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/odd-pattern-on-negatives-driving-me-nuts.167304/
Rerapan 100. It was definitely getting warm in the bag.
Have you ever heard of the film being wider than the developing reel? If it was QC I'm going to go to the seller.
