I think it's safe to say that though you're new here, you aren't new at this.

Thanks! I've been shooting seriously for about 20 years, and have been very active on other photography forums (biggest is Fred Miranda, where I've been a member for 17 years and have over 16,000 posts). I mostly shoot digital, but got into shooting film again recently, and have been enjoying it.

I am fairly new to a lot of the film world, though, as I only started developing at home in the past couple of months, which was my first experience doing that. The color shots I posted first were developed by a lab, but I'm doing C41 at home too, in addition to B&W, but have only done some 35mm C41 as of yet. I have a roll of Portra 400 in my M645 now so that'll be my first at home 120 C41 development. I picked up the Mamiya about 3 weeks ago after realizing 35mm film didn't quite meet my quality expectations that I have after shooting digital for so long, so I'm also very new to shooting medium format. My prior film experience was pretty much limited to a 110 compact when I was a kid and a 35mm compact when I was in high school and college, plus a handful of rolls over the years in 35mm SLRs.

Glad to be here, though, and get new input and knowledge from the people here.

The eye takes time to develop. Familiarity with a new camera or format, much less so.

I've been shooting film sporadically for about fifty years. Got almost no use for digital (likely because I'm old and set in my ways, I suppose), but I won't claim it won't develop your eye.

IMO, C-41 is no more difficult than B&W development. Simpler, in some ways -- always one temperature, one time, for all films (unless you're pushing or pulling). What people say/write about it can be intimidating, however, and what goes wrong can be harder to definitively diagnose -- but almost always comes down to either tired chemistry, temperature off spec, or contamination.

Jman13 · Apr 20, 2022

Yeah. My first roll of C41 turned out fairly nicely. Only thing more difficult than B&W was the closer temperature maintenance, which required prepping a warm water bath for the tank. Here are some shots from that roll.

All are Canon EOS 650 with EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5, Kodak Ektar 100:

Yep. You can apparently follow instructions, too.

In all honesty I have to admit that this kind of photography isn't my cup of tea, but I do admire the quality of the colours and the well-kept working method!
Wel done!

Well, I had my first big goof shooting film this year. I picked up a Mamiya C330 yesterday, and I ran a roll of Arista 400 through it. Since the C330 doesn't have a meter, I used a meter app on my phone which has shown to match what my R5 and my Mamiya 645 meter at, so it's pretty accurate. Shot the roll, and was sitting at home later and opened the light meter app again....and realized I had shot the whole roll with the app set to -2 EC, which I had set when messing around with it and testing the features of it.

Ugh. Now, I had shot the roll at 200 instead of 400 due to some recommendations here, but that still left me a full stop underexposed for all shots, plus any errors I made it metering anyway. To compensate, I had to push process it to 800, and I only have Rodinal right now, which isn't really known as the best for fast films, nor push processing, but it is what it is. I also think I overdeveloped it, though I followed the Master Dev list for Foma 400 at 800 in Rodinal. (10 minutes at 1+25). So, learned a few lessons. The shots came out, though the negatives were very dense, and of course grain is high since it's a cheap film that was push processed in a developer known to keep grain strong, but what can you do.

Here's a shot I liked, though it doesn't have enough depth of field. I didn't have a tripod with me and the light was getting low, so I was at f/8...probably needed f/16 or f/22 at least. Mamiya C330f, 80mm f/2.8 @ f/8, Arista.edu 400, pushed to 800:
