Photographers who shoot film: Where do you buy film? Where do you get it developed?
My son found my old manual SLR camera and I was showing him how everything worked.... without film.
@kelsonv check out https://filmphotographyproject.com/
For tons of info and almost any kind of film you could want. On their podcast, I think they usually recommend the https://darkroom.com for developing, but I haven't had the chance to try them myself yet.
@notjustbill Thanks! I will definitely check them out!
@kelsonv Don't know where you are -- "Looking Glass Photo" in Berkeley California sells film, but you can also get it on Amazon...
@mosqueeto I'm in the Los Angeles Area, which I should've mentioned. Amazon may be the simplest way to get the film, now that you mention it. I figured it would be easier to find film than to find someone to develop it.
@kelsonv - I see you're in west USA. A quick search found: https://www.freestylephoto.biz/
Film is pretty easy to find, B&W you can develop and scan at home very easily, this is where I would start. Colour likewise can be self processed but is less straight forward and less forgiving.
Go for it
@kelsonv - Kodak Tri-X is super cheap for you from the above source. But the Arista Edu 400, Kentmere 400 or Ilford HP5+ would all be forgiving films to use.
All the 400 speed films can be pulled or pushed by -2 to +4 stops.
@matt Cool! Thank you for the suggestions!
