Processing C-41 yourself in any format is easy, in my book easier than b/w because you don't need endless tables of dilutions, times and temperatures. With C-41, everything is done with the same parameters. It can be done at home with little more than a developing tank, a bucket of warm water, a thermometer and the C-41 chemicals. E6, however, is another thing, not least because it requires very tight temperature control. If there is no local lab to process it you will have to send it in for processing. Ralf -- Ralf R.

It's been 2 1/2 years since I picked up a Pentax (except for yesterday when I charged up the K5 and checked that it still appeared to be in working order). I was never a frequent contributor to the PUG, but during that time there have been a few galleries where I would have been tempted to submit something. I know I'm not the only PDMLer who has, for various reasons, switched to a different brand. I may be using an Olympus now, but I still think of myself as a PDMLer; I haven't even looked for an Olympus User's Group I could join. I bet there are quite a few old puggers who, like me, still have some of their old film gear. A couple of years ago I resurrected my old MX and decided to submit to the PUG to keep the camera active. Shooting film these days is a whole different kettle of beeswax to the old days, because it’s so expensive. But it also makes it very different from shooting digital, and makes best use of those old but amazing lenses. So I’d encourage anyone who still has some Pentax film gear, even if they’re not shooting Pentax digital, to push a roll of film through once a month and somehow make whatever you get fit a PUG theme. -- I'd love to do that, but my resources for getting the film processed have shrunk so drastically. I've got film and I've got cameras I want to use, but there's no where locally I can get the film processed. I can get C-41 processed (at least 35mm C-41), but I've got a refrigerator full of E-6, 120 & 4x5 films. -- Vivere in aeternum aut mori conatur -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
