@@FrameswithGeoff I'm more particular about portability for something I carry with me all the time. So, the Ricoh gets used more often. But if I have a bag or something to carry a canera in it's always going to be the Infinity Twin because the 35/70 combo is absolutely perfect for me.

Love your channel name! Exactly why I stopped shooting digital, even though I was an early adapter. I've been a hobbyist photographer for most of my 78 years. Yes, even as a little kid my dad bought me a Brownie and I could develop - with his help - in his darkroom. He was a professional. Bought a new DSLR in 2015, it's been unused for 8 years. I realized that "Film is more fun!"

Thank you for this. It is exactly what I was thinking - but for a different project. That being said, is this similar to the bleach-bypass film process?

Also, would using slide film prevent the B&W film from becoming underexposed? How would you personally prevent the blur from occurring or is that simply under exposure?
@filmismorefunАй бұрын
Hi there. A bleach bypass is the process of skipping a step when developing the film, so not really. For the blurriness, it's due to the image traveling through the front film softening the image, and there's a possibility either films might not be laying completely flat as well. I hope that helps! 🙂

Noted. Another mark for roll. But... 126 is also a roll and a cartridge. I've never of 126 referred to as a roll. However, that was before my time shooting, so I can't say what the current verbiage for 126 was. Just another angle!

What an awesome resource, will be bookmarking this is I ever start shooting enough 110 that I'd want to develop mine too. One thing I'd add from my darkroom experience is in regards to the micro fiber cloths-- a lot of people buy the cheap shitty ones from Amazon, which tend to shed and that becomes an absolute nightmare with scanning/digitizing. I actually use those Kimtech disposable wipes (they use them for microscopes and slides) they work wonderfully and never leave any residue or lint behind. Great vid man
