Very old blog. I've deleted the link. Thank you for pointing that out

It was the scans that were poor. Next time I might get prints and scan them, or take other advice I've had and photograph them myself with a digital camera and extension tubes

The scans were poor I thought. Here's a link to my post on 35mmc https://www.35mmc.com/10/11/2023/kodak-star-60-and-s30-one-city-one-film-three-110-cameras/

No, but they did do a reel of 35mm which was ok

Yes, I noticed the 'new' as well. I'm reluctant to name and shame but shall not be using them again.

Afternoon all. Having had a recent disappointment when I had a roll of 110 colour negative processed I was wondering if any member had recently had a successful outcome? Long shot I know... Thank you in advance Michael

I imagine quite a few RPF members already read Pixel Magazine, but for those that don't there's an interesting article in the current issue about the 'revival' of analogue photography. For which I personally blame Hamish! You can find it here: Pixel Magazine 27th March 2012

That's a great way to waste five minutes!

Here we have the 'before' shots of my competition-entry-purchased £4.99 Yashica FX-3: A pretty sorry sight you'll agree? Soon to be transformed with a new set of VH Black leatherette panels from cameraleather.com as reviewed on this site recently. I had to resist buying the Lizard...

Thanks for the kind comments. My mistake of course, it's Kodak Gold 200ASA. I've been scanning hundreds of Kodachrome slides from the 1970's recently and must have had it on my mind! Processed as C41 by the local Fujifilm franchise.

I've really enjoyed this challenge, it's been many years since I had to make every shot count (or try to, anyway). Like the rest of the members, I'm sure, it's become commonplace for me to take half a dozen digital shots of the scene in question in a lazy attempt to guard against errors so to...

Afternoon Hamish OK, so I bought my charity-shop camera and my Kodachrome 200 and I've just got the negatives back from the local processor and I may be able to find three shots that are not completely useless, so what do I do now? In other words, is there a section of the site you'd like...

Plain black vinyl, and that's not a bad idea, I'll take the before pictures now before I forget.

Excellent tip-off. I've already ordered a set for the Yashica FX-3 I bought for the £10 challenge (£4.99 in local charity shop). A bit hasty perhaps as I haven't had the negatives developed yet!

Interesting point, thanks. I'll have to put a meter on it and see what it needs as it's not in that list.
