toxo 160 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Well picked myself up a pristine minolta x300 today fancied a go with film for a while came with 3 lenses a minolta 49mm 1.7 A sigma 70-210 and a 35-70 all for peanuts!!! It's in better nick than my dslr Need to get myself some film now and see how much of a bungle I make of film photography lol Any one using film or had much to do with it Any tips Also do you scan and print your own negatives? I used to love the darkroom side of things. The cost of the chemicals etc for the hobbyist meant you were restricted to 16x20 trays for developing but I used to turn the enlarger sideways and stick two 16x20 on the wall with an overlay. Once developed I would use a stanley knife to do a random cut and touch up where necessary to produce a 32x20 print. Worked a treat and no-one could tell it was two parts. At the time you could buy photographic linen that you could expose and then fold up to develop in a bucket. This opened up the possibility to make lampshades and all sorts. Never did get to try it though. Good luck with your project. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
