Advice for finding discontinued film
As it turns out, Hunt's did have a batch of expired Centuria 200. I
bought myself about 100 rolls, and am now well-prepared for winter. :)
Thanks a million for suggesting this, it really helped!

Advice for finding discontinued film
Hello,
I'm particularly fond of Konica Minolta Centuria Super NH, a big part
of it may be that I have a DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II and the two go
together so well. Unfortunately, since Konica Minolta...

Hello,
This is a subjective question, mostly. I have an art show next week
and wanted to blow up a negative to a pretty large size, long print

Scanner scratches negatives, focus is off = dirty?
Hello,
I bought a Konica-Minolta DiMAGE 5400 II last year right before they

However, recently I've been...

Poor exposures from 400 speed negative film
So, the general consensus seems to be to shoot around roughly +1.0 EV,
or just set the ASA for one stop slower film.
This seems like it will work with scanning. However, now that we're

You may have been vicitim to poor negative developing (cool temperature

I was wondering about that. I think I'm going to try and err on the

Poor exposures from 400 speed negative film
Out of date film can be still usable, but you do have to take a little
extra care storing it.
Yeah, I'm refridgerating most of my film, though it's still less than
a year old.
But I think...
