Hi there, this us great fun as I'm chuffed to have the chance to show off my latest passion being Back to Basics...Back to Film, and loving it.

11 hours later:-

Earlier I tried posting my images unsuccessfully with messages telling me to check the file size. Maybe they were too small, so here we try again.

Actually - sorry, I give up as I am now totally confused. When I want to post a picture I am asked to type in the ULR????

Thank you.. good to know the v600 can do such a good job as a scanner.. I've only had mine a few weeks and still getting the hang of it.

It took me most of a year to settle into a workflow.

Hi again,

Well I have read how to upload an image so will try again.

My story getting back into film actually started about 5 years ago when I brought out my Pentax ME and 40mm lens, bought film and started taking "snaps". It was such a wonderful and weirdly satisfying feeling getting back into it again but then my curiosity turned to the lenses from that era.
before I knew it, I was buying those beautiful S-M-C Takuma lenses on eBay and attaching them onto my digital with an adaptor.
This sort of felt like using a film camera until I realised - actually, not so.
So 2 years back I bought the Canon A-1 and Pentax K1000 some Ilford HP5 400 Film, joined a film club in Crawley and film photography took off for me. I love the K1000, it's so reliable and confess that I have now become a small collector of various other film cameras including the ME Super and Spotmatic. I do all my own scanning, post processing in LR and PS and then printing, matt mounting and framing for exhibitions.

After far too long without shooting any film I have done a few rolls recently, for no other reason than I have lots of it I thought I would see how Kodak's Vision 3 250d responded to black and white development. First roll was in Rodinal and whilst OK is super grainy, though I reckon that works pretty well with this one.




Second attempt I used D96, prefer these.





All taken on an LX with M 50mm f1.7, first 2 dslr scanned, last one with the Sprintscan 4000.

Nice work, and welcome to the dark side
I like that first one of the people behind the window with the reflection.

Thank you. Have to admit I'm very pleased with the result of the first one.

Yay! Although I have taken a break from doing film work, I thoroughly understand the "wonderful and weirdly satisfying feeling" of shifting back to including film in the mix. Good work!
