110 Processing

[Michael Ross]

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 would ask where you're having your film processed but since I live in the US your answer wouldn't enlighten me however it might be of interest to your fellows on your side of the pond.

 

[Michael Ross]

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

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Had you used them previously (for 110) with good results?

 

[Michael Ross]

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

Hi Michael.

Was the actual film badly processed? Just asking as I've seen some horrendous scans from some processors, where the film was actually ok.

I'm probably way off target here, but wanted to ask.

 

[Michael Ross]

The scans were poor I thought. Here's a link to my post on 35mmc

Kodak Star, 60 and S30 - One City, One Film, Three 110 Cameras

Of the three the Star was the most pleasant to use with the steadying handle a great help and the shutter action smooth and easy.

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

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

So, post something from some film that >>did<< get processed.
This place is pretty quiet, there's only a half dozen or so folks who chat here.

That can work extremely well. If you have the camera, lens, and tubes, you could try it with very little other outlay. Best to shoot in raw to allow for the color correction if you have negatives, transparencies wouldn't matter so much.

I've done that. I wonder if scanning 110 is just a PITA?

Maybe a member's activity level factors into the "new" versus whatever other status.
