Hmm good point. Haven’t developed anything in the summer yet so I haven’t crossed that bridge yet. My basement is usually cold so I’m always warming up my chemicals. I’ll have to see how it goes during warmer weather.
Film.

Keep a log of every roll you develop. It’s tremendously helpful. Camera, film, developer, time, temperature etc.

Good call! Luckily I’ve been keeping notes on the developing and also when I’m shooting
Ah, reminds me of a lovely Pen F I paid an arm and leg for through KEH some years ago. I think this is with an adapter for OM lenses, hence the 21mm f/3.5. Lost my shirt selling it back to KEH!
A film I really loved back in the day was ASA 25 Kodak Tech Pan. Developed in Technidol it was amazing.
When I started at Telecolor Studio in Hollywood, I was given a Pen-f (half frame 35mm), 2 strobes, powerpack, a portable backdrop, and 30 homes to go to to take portraits at each day. The appointments had been pre-arranged the previous day so everyone was ready and excited to get their pics take. There was the hearty share of screaming kids
Those that survived moved on to other jobs (advertising, in studio portraits, weddings, real photography).
Enjoying using that indestructible Pen-F
Oh, man, my hat is off to you for enduring that! I would have gone mad--if I'm not allowed the studied approach, my brain fries.

That’s a beautiful camera. I was tempted get that exact one too. But in the end I liked the small compact size of the pen ee3
Now that’s a beautiful film. Looks Kodak 5222 Double-X. I’m very tempted to get a reel of that to shoot.
It was used mostly for movie film in movies like casino royal and Schindler’s list. But it also has amazing reviews as a still photo film.

Those little Rollei cameras are amazing. Hear lots of good things about them.
the greatest irony is that people don't understand how to use or develop black and white.
Had a bunch sent out to a place called process one. soooooooo much came back as crap it wasn't funny. fomapan wasn't too bad in daylight, but gods, tri x was better then most of them European stuff.

I’ve always been super paranoid about sending b&w film out but then I’ve done my own developing for a long time. Color never seems to be a problem for labs. Color chemistry is foolproof as are the printing machines, at least for snapshots.

I haven't had the TIME to get setup to do film. but sadly. the ONLY film that seems to go through fine all the way is iso 800 color shot on a fixed focus fixed aperture fixed shutter speed bell and howell camera. And after that the 100 iso portrait stuff from Kodak that comes in 15$ 5 packs does ok.
everything else is random.

Nice photo with good tones!
I have no personal experience with the Pacific Image scanner, but I saw this video the other day and it looks promising. I agree with him in one respect, Vuescan is great scanning software.

I use an Epson V550, similar to the 600.
I like it. Not a lot of bells and whistles which is my preference anyway.
Many would be underwhelmed by the software that comes with the scanner but it gets the job done.

Exactly what I like to hear. Not a bells and whistles kinda guy either. As long as it gives me clear scans I’ll be happy.
