As far as ASP film its a pain in the you know to get devoloped. I cant find anyplace but the camera shop to get the roll I found in the camera bag I bought, cant wait to see whats on the roll (and its black and white!!!)

Per my wife: "I was the original remote control!!!"

I got given an old CANON EOS ELAN body. Yep, 35mm film. So, I though, I remember shooting with film (and an AE1), but never anything this fancy. So I've just gotta to buy some film!

Does anyone here still shoot film? I'm curious where you get it developed, especially looking for high quality negative scanning. Is Fuji and Kodak still number one in the film world?

I still shoot film occasionally, though rarely. I just shot a couple rolls of 110 actually, in my new-to-me Pentax Auto 110 SLR. I'm going to shoot my sister-in-law's wedding in a couple months and am planning to pick up some b/w film to go along with the digital.

Dwayne's Photo is, I think, the only place left that processes 110, and they are big in the 35mm world, too. Negative scanning is not too hard to find but quite expensive. I know that Dwayne's offers a CD with your prints (I had some 35mm done, too), but I didn't do it as I already have a Nikon Coolscan.

For what film... well, I don't think about it much. Living in Rochester, Kodak is pretty much a given. I also happen to have a TON of it lying around from a few years ago when a relative worked on a project for them that required a lot of packaged film to test, and I got a bunch of it, so I think I'm set on basic Kodak Gold for life!

Groucho.. is it just me, or is that little Pentax 110 the neatest toy ever? My dad gave me mine back when I was in junior high. I love that little camera.

I do shoot film and still have a working darkroom, so I normally process my own film. I don't make a lot of prints these days, I just scan the negatives.

My latest obsession is my Kodak Brownie.

As far as what kind... I'm partial to Kodak. Even though it's getting really hard to find what I want around here. Like Trix 320. I miss that stuff.

I still shoot a fair amount of film- both 35mm and 120. I develop my own B&W- for Color C41 I use Sam's Club I think they charge around $2 a roll for either format just to do the negatives- for E6 slides I use Dwayne's- and I do all my own scanning. For any film or supplies I highly recommend Freestyle.

I've been shooting film on a Nikon F100 all summer. Just for fun.

There may never be a better medium to record photographic images on than Kodachrome.

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

I haven't shot film since around 2002, but I still have a Nikon film SLR rattling around the house in case the mood ever strikes.

I have moved towards shooting film roughly half the time. Primarily a Holga 120N and a Lomo LC-A+ which is a 35mm.

I use B&H for my film and Richard Photo Lab for processing.

There is something amazing about getting the film back from the lab to see bat you captured.

Looking forward to shooting a good bit of film next month in WDW.

Oh I couldn't agree with you more!!
I just went back to shooting film back in June to to vary up what I was doing and to stretch myself creatively.
I found myself falling in love with photography, in a whole new way, all over again. There was just something so tangible about film, loading it, feeling the film advance in the camera, waiting for the prints, being so very careful that every composition and exposure is perfect.
Just love love love shooting with it again.

Me too! I first played with one when buying something else from someone off Craigslist and he mentioned that he had one. I just had to buy one after that! I did the "self portrait in mirror" with it but I can't find the photo right now. I still need to scan the rest of the photos in. The quality certainly isn't there compared to 35mm, but it's not terrible and the little thing is just a joy from a purely mechanical sense! And nothing like having a lens cap the size of a nickel! It's a little jewel.

A year or so ago, Pentax released a PnS that was physically a clone of the Auto 110, called the "i10" - sort of cute.

My favorite part of film is when I'm processing and I finally get to open the tank and pull it off the reel to see if I got anything good.

Oh yes, definitely! DH doesn't understand it in the least but I'm the artistic one so I'm not really surprised.

I'm bringing my Mini Diana to Disney for (hopefully) some good lomo shots. I recently bought a bunch of film from Four Corner Store so I won't run out while I'm there. Not that that's usually an issue with the Mini Diana. It shoots square pictures or half frame pictures, and if you use the half frame it doubles your roll of film. It can take forever to get through that many pictures!

Glad to hear another bringing a loom to the parks. I shoot the Lomo LC-A all the time and have gotten many great pics at WDW.

this slideshow was posted on another site that I go to and I thought of this thread. I dont know but I find it funny that in Japan the home of almost all our digital cameras that you find a store like this. check out pictures 4-14 i think they are and you will see film is indeed not dead but it may be on lifesupport here in the states I am afraid.
