LUV MF and the "feel" of film...

[shutterbug62]

Hi all, am a newbie,but love what you are doing here. Several of the galleries have "wowed" me and inspired. BUT I have a question. Will it be possible for me to shoot 120 film,have it put onto a CD at the lab, and then upload it to my gallery here? Thanks,Kate

[lord_of_the_badgers]

yes, you will.. but generally when they put the jpgs on cd for you, they are tiny images compared to what you COULD get. why not invest in a film scanner - or a flatbed scanner that can scan negatives?

it would be very useful all round

I scanned some of my pictures and then uploaded no problem at all.

Olympus Om2n

I also sujest doing a search by camera to see if anyone else has galleries taken by your film camera

I have an old Roleiflex Automat (120 Film), and scan the negs or prints on my Epson 3170, but I find working with the negatives produces better results.

worst comes to worst, you can always print it, and scan the prints. i have a few mf shots up on here done that way.

I also shoot MF. I have Yashiga 124G. I've just get a scanner. Scanning fillm is not that hard, but it is very time consuming. I'll try to scan some of my picture and post soon.
