2 Questions
first, Anyone take any pics on the Velvia I sent out yet?

Second, For people who have scanned slides, Do you think I can get this good (or better or worse) Quality on a negative / slide scanner? (Canoscan 8800 being the one i'm looking at, or recommend one in the same price range +-$50)

Film was Velvia 50 scanned at London Drugs (Canadian dept store, that has a big photo dept) "Highest" quality.

I would hope so, that scan kind of sucks.
Velvia always makes me want to dust off my old pentax ME super and start blowing money of film and processing. =[

Look for a used Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 scanner. It would require a SCSI card, but for the money they're great scanners.

ya i thought so too, but wasn't sure what to expect, I scanned "film" by taking pics of it with my D70s before lol (using a flash to light the pic through a peice of white paper)

I plan on using the Velvia when spring kicks in with some good color.

And I scan slides for one of my professors all the time. I'll post one tomorrow if I remember. I don't know how good the scanner is, but you'll have something to compare against.

that's a pretty terrible scan, velvia 50 is like goddamned near grainless

You can get much better quality than that from a film scanner. You can even get much better quality from a good flatbed with transparency adapter.

I wish Vincent but I haven't had a chance. It's still kinda blah around here. I'm waiting for some more green to appear before I try to shoot a roll. I'm also still trying to figure out how I get it developed. It's hard to find a place that will even develop slide film.

Sorry, not yet. The only lens on my film cam is 50mm, which is way, way wider than I normally like. I've had a roll of b&w in it for like over a month now.

This is not full resolution of the scanner, but half. It's slide film, but I couldn't tell you what kind. Taken in November 1985.

The colours in your pic, OP, are so friggin beautiful, I cant even find a word for it..

Will I be able to use this film on my eos 5, and is it hard to come by?
>> fence !!POey2hdozCZ

yeah, of course you can use it on your eos 5. you can use any 35mm you want.. and velvia's easy to find. order online or stop by your local camera shop.

Need to go shoot a 120 spool of Velvia tonight so I can load my TLR up with some B&W.

Gonna be fun and exciting trying to get that Velvia developed. It's hard enough to find a good place that'll develop 135-format E6...

What exactly is involved with slide film? I send it to adorama and then what? I get slides back? Then I need to send them back out to get printed from the slides?
>> Vincent !!8LCSE0Zp1mL
>>145275
Yup (Actually you can get slide film back uncut, without the cardboard sleeves)
Or you can skip the sending them out step, and just scan them yourself and then print the digital files.
Since 99% of the places you send them to will do just that anyway...

That would require fixing the film right? Also I have a regular old flatbed scanner that I have tried my damndest doing every possible rig up to and can't seem to scan film on it. I've tried using my DJ strobe bar with the gels taken off and a frozen light pattern, I tried mounting flashlights with diffusers, using it with the top open, closed, everything. I can't seem to get pictures to come out right :/ I'm assuming I would have the same trouble with slide film?

You own an EOS 5 and you don't know what slide film is?
>> parshimers !y2fz.HIyUQ
is it possible to develop e-6 half decently without something to regulate the temperature of the water constantly other than you turning on the faucet occasionally?

No, it has to be regulated very closely.

You can get by with a simple water bath controlled by a fish tank heater though.

The chemistry is expensive and short lived, so it really doesn't make sense to process at home if you don't shoot a lot of slide film.
