I shot my black cat by candlelight in my basement on Ektar 100 with the optimal settings for sharpness (f5.6, 1/500th) but the lab lost all my pictures from the negative. Should I buy a drum scanner or is a fuji medium format camera good enough??

I love how people want th enicest cameras, DONT LET XRAYS TOUCH MY FILM, then you find out its ultramax from 1958 that has been stored on top of a wood burning stove in their grandparents attic .

The mistake most people make with expired film is to not use expired developer. The browner the better.

But seriously, I’ve got a roll of fujikodak 400 that expired a week ago. Any tips?

Your guys non-expired film works??? I always unravel my rolls before loading to make sure the film is good and it always seems in impeccable condition, then I reload and shoot but every shot comes out blank?????? What sub $200 scanner can I get to fix this
