I did quite a bit of film photography about 15 years ago. Decided to dig my cameras out and try my hand at developing and scanning some B&W film.

I originally thought I'd bought the Lomography Berlin, but I now see I bought the Babylon which is ISO 13 ๐Ÿ˜…. Guess I'm buying a cable release and borrowing a tripod for that one. Unless we get unusually sunny weather here in Oslo. Fortunately I have two camera bodies and loaded the other with Kodak 400 TX.

Will be interesting to see how badly these turn out.

How are you planning on developing the film? It's really hard to find somewhere in Canada (at least in Ontario) to the point that I've started developing them myself. Surprisingly easy to do these days, and could save some money if you're going to be developing a lot!

Planning on purchasing this starter kit from a local photography store. They also develop B&W, but I'd start saving money pretty quickly by doing it myself. I did develop some film back in 2005 or something like that, but I don't remember much of it. I expect to mess it up the first couple of times!

After that I'll be scanning myself. So after getting that kit, it should hopefully not be to expensive a hobby in the long run.

Are you planning to scan with a digital camera?

Plustek OpticFilm 135i I've ordered to scan my mothers old family slides.
