Processed Film for the first time last night!

[roboflick]

With the aid of a friend who is also a photographer I developed 3 rollls of film last night. 2 rolls of 35mm Tri X and 1 roll of 120 tmax 100. Easier than i expected. I also set up an enlarger and look forward to printing. Really exciting. I took a shot of the negatives on my light box and inverted using gimp to get a digital proof sheet.


I was blown away by the detail on my 120 negative shot with an Iskra, that is one sharp lens!

It's a great feeling, isn't it?

I still find developing quite relaxing and rewarding, even after doing it for about 10 years, as opposed to clicking and sliding in LR.

Congrats! You'll find that (wet) darkrooms are highly addictive 😀

Not pretty but enought to decide what to print. Just used invert colors in gimp

Very nice! Developing film was a childhood dream of mine, which I fulfilled a year ago, so I understand your thrill. Congratulations and enjoy!

just an idea: have a clear glass on top of your negatives and add some contrast, that´s all you need for perfect contacts.
