Scanned directly from the negative (especially here, where the sprocket holes are visible).

Usually don't after-edit film pics for the sake of PURITY and UNIQUENESS and all that bs, but here there was some after-editing involved.

Good luck with your photo adventures

Okay, very cool!

Thanks, just bought myself a Canon 50/1.4 and 135/2.8 so I can get started.

The 50mm is very nice with the f/1.4! Btw are these pics taken with it?

But YESSS, the 135 is totally my favorite now when I've been taking photos all day yesterday! Just gotta love the working distance and the f/2.8. And what's even better, I got them both with just only 80 euros!

I'm gonna add some photos here just when I get them developed and scanned. I hope the first film ever for me has successfulled and not overexposed or something. :/ Talk to u soon!

Cool!

Yeh, I'm just thinking what kind of a film scanning equipment would be good for me and at the same time affortable. Have to get some Kodak Portra 160s too.

I've got a ghetto Epson Perfection 1250. Old, but works.
From what I hear, the newer Epson's are supposed to pretty sweet, like, the V1500's (i think that's what they're called) - so that'd probably be my recommendation.

mmmm portra... probably my favorite color film. velvia is awesome too, though.

i've actually got two rolls of portra (120) to develop... 160NC and 160VC... can't wait to see what you get. We can compare

Oh that's pretty expensive around ~350-400€ but someday I'll get the money for it or some other similar film scanner. But not just yet.

Btw I just got my first film from the near by film developing shop back! I'm gonna add some pics from the first roll here just original. They are taken with Fuji superia 200.. :/ Atm I have the Portra 160 NC going and after that a 160 VC. But now I'm going on vacation, cya!
