@alexsavin I am considering shooting some film on my dad's 1970's Asahi Spotmatic II. I am interested in how you did the scan. What scanner was used, etc? What is from prints or negatives?

@khurtwilliams it’s from negatives - I usually develop film at home and then scan it with Epson Perfection photo scanner. But you can still send / bring your rolls of film into a local photo shop and they’ll do everything for you.

@alexsavin it’s been a long time since I developed film and the local camera shop doesn’t do film development. I could develop at Walmart or CVS but I’d have to send off somewhere for quality scans. I think I’ll use the service you recommended. Thanks.

@alexsavin I have a roll of Ilford HP5+ I want to shoot just because. It’s a way to re-connect to the past. Would be interesting to compare to the ACROS mode on my Fuji X-T2.

@khurtwilliams ah yes, classic Ilford film, one of my favourites. If nothing else, you can relatively easily develop black and white film at home - chemicals are available on Ebay and tutorials on YouTube 🎞

@alexsavin lung and other health issues preclude me being around those types of chemicals. I dare not risk it.
