Originally posted by hinman Colton, I love your work. The Kodak BW400CN is my favorite c-41 b&w. No matter how oddly that it is not the true b&w, I love its contrast and the journalistic tone.
Can I ask how you develop and scan your work? And if you do your own scanning, what scanner and software you use.
Much thanks,
Hin
Thank you Hin!
I agree with you about Kodak BW400CN, to me it produces better looking B&W than XP2, but I haven't shot much of either.
I get all my C-41 developed at my local lab. They do a pretty good job and typically only charge me $2.75 or $3.50 per roll (develop only, long sleeve), and they usually have about a 30 minute turnaround so I can drop off a roll, go for coffee and come back and pick up developed film.
For E6 and true B&W, I usually sent it to place in Eugene or Portland.
I scan all my film myself (with help loading and unloading) using my V500 and Epson software which I've found to be perfectly adequate for my needs. I've made great looking 8x12 prints from 35mm scans and great looking 24x30 prints from 6x7 scans. I've yet to really run across a situation where I need bigger prints.
