Now I don't work for them, and I would rather boycott than utilize... but most Sam's club and Wal-Mart stores have Fuji Frontier machines in their one-hour labs. Unfortunately I live in a small town just south of Kodak-ville and they are the only photo processor around with a Frontier. They are

Another suggestion. Find an old Brownie box camera that takes 120 film and that has time exposure capability. They should be $5.00 or so. It is easy to take the lens out and put in a pinhole. Then you will have 6x9 cm images instead of 35mm and can still get commercial processing. I mostly do

Thanks for the input on transparency film...I have used Velvia 120 in the past with a good light meter and had wonderful results with lenses...My hope is that the slide film will give me a better or truer read on my exposures...I currently use 100 or 200 asa color or the Kodak C41 process B&W film

Hi Ronnie, welcome to the list. In my work with pinhole and zoneplate bodycaps I use any slide film which is of high contrast due to the low-contrast nature of pinhole. My latest ventures are with Velvia, a nice contrasty slide film. If you have good friends in a developing lab, or if you have

I recently saw lightjet prints for the first time. They are beautiful. Someone here has suggested that they are not good for B&W because of a limited tonal response at the black end of the scale. I don't know if that is true, but for color, the prints are stunning. My understanding is that the prin
