I have a film Rebel, but I figured "where's the fun in that?"

Today, I shot about half of one of the 36 exp rolls of slide film on the sunset, using the Canon AE1, and 28, 50, and 70-210 lenses. I bracketed exposure for some of the shots, and logged the camera's recommended and my settings to see if the exposure meter is accurate. It seemed to be indicating about what I would normally expect for the iso and shutter speed, so my gut feeling is that it's working.

Yes, E 6 processing, i was thinking about C 41 but E 6 is correct.

This place looks promising. Anyone have any experience with them?

Do you mean E-6? I've used Dwayne's in Kansas and Dodge-Chrome in (I think) Delaware. Both got the job done, though I can't say I was overly impressed with either. North Coast is also supposed to be good. I haven't used them, but I did speak to them once about a special job (that I ended up not doing), and found them professional and very willing to help. They'll be the next lab I try.

Hello Larry. I would be happy to develop your roll of film. Cost: Nothing. But remember... sometimes you get what you pay for.. :-)
I live in Ohio. If interested, let me know and I we can set it up. I am always looking for an excuse to spend time in my secret basement laboratory.

Does anyone want to process my roll of Tri-X 400, 24 exposure, for less than the $12 that the Walgreens down on the corner would charge me? I thought I was going to send them to MPix, but they only do C41. You just have to promise that you won't laugh at what comes out of the developer.

Also, on a happy note, I went back to where I found the Canon AE 1 a couple of days ago, and it was half price day. I bought the Canon FD 135mm f3.5 that was there, with case, for $6.
I'm pretty sure I already have either a 24 or 28mm, and for sure a Vivitar Series 1, 70-210 mm f3.5 zoom for it as well.

I shot & developed a roll of this "film" stuff last week :)

I run a photography camp for high school kids, and on the first full day of camp, I shoot a roll of Tri-X, and then we set up a darkroom and develop the shots at night. It's a ton of work to drag all of the equipment to camp each year (not to mention mixing the developer, fixer, etc.), but it's always rewarding to watch kids' faces as the prints magically appear in the developer!

The film is loaded and we're going to NYC tomorrow!

I snagged a Canon AE1 with the 50mm f1.4 "SSC / Super Spectra Coated" lens on it today for $20 at a thrift store. It even has a good battery in it.
The metering, shutter and controls all seem to be working normally. If the light seals are ok, I think it will be a good camera. This might be the kick I need to get started shooting film again for this S C.
The feel and controls on it remind me a lot of the old Canon FTb QL that I used in the film days.

Oh crap. I shot a roll in Boston and was so excited to see the results. They were soo underexposed! This was the first roll with a new old camera. I checked and it had the incorrect battery. I hope that was the cause.

While I am not in Boston anymore, I still have plenty of film left..

You can use a digital camera for light metering, and compare it to the metering in the film camera, with both set at the same iso and aperture, or iso and shutter speed, while viewing the same scene with both cameras.
If they are off by one stop , set the camera as if using a lower iso film to increase EV. Once you figure out how much to compensate, then the meter in the film camera should work.

Here are a few individual shots from the roll. I think there iare one or two I like:

I work just like Brian. I use the tub sink in the laundry room... I keep the temps as close as I can, but I am not too obsessive about it.

tph1, how do you keep everything at 100 degrees? Water bath? C-41 requires the same thing. That's the main reason I've stuck with B&W.

Not to steal Tom's fire, but I develop C-41 regularly now. I use a water bath in a Playmate cooler. The water is at about 118F, which keeps the developer in the plastic Paterson tank at 100F for three minutes. I measure the temperature of the developer before and after development, and it's always consistent. Run your own test's, though, to see what works for you; a lot of variables figure into this. With C-41, the other chemicals (bleach, fix, final rinse) are less crucial, so I ditch the water bath after the developer and allow the temps of the remaining chemicals to drift. Feel free to PM me if you want more info...
