No I don't shoot Film anymore, however I recently acquired the Epson V700 Photo Scanner.

I have a large collection of 35mm and 2.25Sq Negatives that I wish to scan.

4 here are Mamiya C3/80mm lens Agfa 100ASA In GemBrook upper Beaconsfield Victoria and the fifth is an Agfa 2.25SQ slide shot with a Hasselblad 500C / 80mm lens at Monselvat Victoria (an Artist Colony) me on the lhs rolling a ciggy I had LOTS more hair then ;-) .
All are late 70's and neg. dev. I did with Tetanal process chemicals (very famous in its day) (German chemicals)

Bear in mind its early days with this stuff so still some learning.

I sold the C3 a few years ago (Its VERY heavy) and is 3 lenses which in total would need a truck to cart around

Scanned using SilverFast AI and correction in PS CS5 Also bear in mind there is some deterioration of the negatives and colour balance needed PS work and even then results still not perfect
THere may be some Film look in these images that still attracts people I'm not so sure when I think how good today are the results from the Pen's :)

Wonderful rich colours there Jon.

Good morning John. The Mamiya C3 shots are great ! My fav is # 3. Wonderful colors !

This was shot with a Pentax 67II and 105mm lens. I developed the negative myself when I was into developing and I believe the film was Kodak Ektar. This was last winter.

At the risk of sounding too 'negative' why are we looking at Pentax 67 and Mamiya C3 images on a site called serious compacts - compact they certainly are not. I would also question the use of a Pentax 67 for family snaps, your decision of course, but it shows little of interest to members of this site I would think. Just wondering.

No pun intended, eh? I think Amin started this thread for fun and, perhaps, for some nostalgia?

[duffer49]

Nothing wrong with a bit of fun and nostalgia of course, but I still think compacts whether film or digital should be the main 'focus'.
Anyway I've dug one out from the great Fuji DL Super Mini Zoom taken on Agfa Scala and chemically toned.
