I just dropped off 10 slides at walgreens for prints. WTF was I thinking. Pray for my slides /p/.

Unintentional cross processing WOO.

Looking forward to seeing the results. :)

what's the difference between slides and 35mm film?
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>240106
35mm slide film is a type of 35mm film. It's just 35mm film that develops to a positive image rather than a negative image, and is generally mounted into little plastic or cardboard sleeves rather than being cut into strips.

Slide film has a different development process (i.e., different set of chemicals and timing and such) than normal color negative film. If you develop slide film using negative film process (and pretty much all little drug store photolabs only do the negative film process), weird things happen. But not necessarily bad weird things.

is it still a roll like normal 35mm film?

and why do you want to have slide film?

can you use it for those old school projectors? it's like a carousel and each time you click, it loads up the next one

Yes. It's just like negative film except that, after processing, you get a slide rather than a negative.

>and why do you want to have slide film?
Better color reproduction, mainly. With color negative film, the actual colors you get are, to a certain extent, set in the printing/scanning process. Kind of like converting a RAW to a JPEG and locking in the white balance. With a slide film, what you see is what you get. Additionally, some films are only available as slide film and don't really have a negative equivalent (Fujichrome Velvia being the only one that leaps immediately to mind).

Most pros who still shoot film shoot either black and white negative film or color slide film for serious work.

>can you use it for those old school projectors?
Yes/

fortunatly I already had them processed and mounted at the local pro shop, I just need some 4x6s to show off to my family.
The bad news is I used to work at that walgreens and I don't think I ever saw a pair of cotton gloves. Last time I checked, I was the only one that even knew how to put slides into the fuji machine. I know the dude thats working tonight, so hopefully he'll call if he has problems, but if I find finger prints all over my shit I'm gonna be pissed. ALso, the color tests that are run every morning to check with a densometer haven't produced good results in 2 years, but I had pics printed last week that seemed alright.

Sounds like quality. Get your shit processed at a pro lab, save some money and buy your own shitty epson scanner. If you know if this how things go down, you are seriously asking for it.

Between the retards who don't know what slides are, and the ones that can't follow simple workflow instructions, they are going to ruin alot of your slides.

And do your own b&w at home.

also, do slides last longer than negative film for safekeeping?

and any 35mm film camera can load slide film?

My shitty epson scanner broke, thats why I took the slides to walgreens. V200 took a shit on me mid slide, it locked up and doesn't respond at all now.
I normally do all my b&w at home, but I just got a roll of t-max back and it came out GREAT, and I don't have to worry about dust in my house!! This place doesn't cut negs, it all goes in one long sleeve. I paid 5.19 for a 36 exp roll, which isn't teribily bad, when a bottle of tmax developer is 12$ here and I might do 4-5 rolls before it goes bad. But the peace of mind with the dust issue is worth it.

Ohhh. I see what you meant now.

I didn't know those little minilabs could print slides.

most labs have the equipment, its finding someone that knows how to do it. I know all the walgreens in the memphis area are setup for it and a few even have 120 gear, but no one knows how to work it. The frontier manual is very hard to follow and its about 4000 pages long.

Depends on the slide film.

The vast majority of slide film out there now (possibly all slide film that's currently in production, though don't quote me on that) is E6 process slide film, which has about the same longevity characteristics as normal color negative (C41 process) film.

The *original* slide film, however, was a thing called Kodachrome, and that shit lasts for-fucking-ever. There's kodachrome shot in the early 1900s that still gives you those nice bright colors, gives you the greens of summer and makes you think all the world's a sunny day oh yeah.

Traditional *black and white* negative film, on the other hand, also lasts forever.

>and any 35mm film camera can load slide film?
Seriously, it's exactly the same until you get to the developing step. Light comes in through the lens, hits the strip of film, chemical reaction happens. The camera doesn't care if it's color, black and white, slide or negative.

slide film and negative film come in exactly the same format for loading in your camera, shoot just like normal in any camera except error on the side of underexposure if you have to and you gotta be pretty bang on with exposure. The only difference comes in thew processing.
Dont know about longevity but slides do get returned in cute likkle plastic boxes which seem to offer better protection than sleeves I guess

in movies or tv, when they got those fashion people checking photos out on that huge ass light table

is that slide film? the little picture has color and everything, it's just pretty tiny

last stupid question, i think i may have some developped negative film around somewhere, is that safe to take out in sunlight? would it damage it?
>> Anonymous
I have a roll of Velvia 50 that I'm gonna try taking to Walgreens to get developed soon. There are no labs around me and to my suprise they said they could develop it like it was no big deal.

Yes

You don't want to leave it on your dashboard on a hot summer's day or anything, but it stops being light sensitive after it's been developed.

There was no kodachrome in the early 1900s.

You need a scanner with a backlight. I tried for quite some time to do it with a regular crappy flatbed and they came out terrible.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>240156
You're right. 1935, says Wikipedia. I thought it was earlier than that.

Still. Kodachrome from the 1930s still looks gorgeous.

some people do do that... i've heard of people taking their film canister and leaving them outside in freezing tempertures, then the next day, they will store them in very hot conditions. and keep giving them the brutal treatment for weeks... then they get the film developed, and it looks all weird.

Don't you just change the film loader that sits on top of the scanner? It's not at all difficult on my Frontier or the Noritsu I worked at Best Buy, just slightly different.

East of the mississippi it gets sent to a qualex lab and takes like 10 days minimum, I forget where it goes to in the west. Expect your shit to get lost tho. Send it to dwanes. http://www.dwaynesphoto.com/

We have our share in DC, but we just make those into sales/lab floats who aren't intelligent enough to do either job more than passably. I'm sure Walgreens gets people with no interest in photography tossed into the lab, which doesn't help the issue any.
>> Lynx !!KY+lVSl0s2m
went to pick them up 5 horus later.
The store manager checked them in for me, and she couldn't figure out how to do it, so she cleared out my order. Hopefully someone that remembers how to do them will be in today.
