try your local Boots or photo processing store (tesco etc) I always used to get a bagfull when I went in and asked - they seemed quite thankfull too

I don't think I have any left lying around but I'll have look for you

do people still use 35mm film , in this digital age ????

 

[Man of Tanith]

yup
couple of mates of mine are well into their photography and rave about how good film is
suppose its like those of us who prefer canvas packs and blankets to bergens and sleeping bags

The clue is in the name folks - digital - the image is digitised and no matter how small those digits are they cant equal film for image quality.....anyway, I digress - good tip on the processors/developers, never thought of that!

Thanks again for the tip - saw the nice lady in Boots today and she was most obliging (thats 'Boots' the chemist incidently )
I got the impression she'd have been quite happy if i'd turned up with a trailer!

from what i understand the quality of typical 35mm film is roughly equal to about 16M digital cameras. Seeing as 12M cameras are pocket change these days its all much a muchness.

That said, it does look professional to use film and tripod

Of course, the grain size on film isn't a form of quantisation... or is it?

Any comparison does not stand up....it depends on the type of film, speed and the speed that the film is used at.

I find the digital V's film thing very boring, i use both....digital and 35MM & medium format....its a tool, that is all.

I'm just surprised it took so long to get a response!

Yeh the boots/asda etc lot will give you bin liners full, i reckon you could get enough to make a raft

Get them while you can. They'll be gone soon. Or at least very difficult to hold of.
