ParticipantAny scanner with a film function will work.
Any film scanner will work *as long as it accepts 120 film*. Some do not, so if it’s 35mm filmstrips only, you’re out of luck.
Many scanners have a ‘film’ option though. We don’t own a film scanner. To scan 120 film we simply lay it in the center of the scanner bed and put a piece of glass over it to keep it flat and straight.
Blargh. I was hoping to force some 35mm film into the holga and get those nice developed edges like in orionid’s examples, but I also hear if you take them to get developed that way it can get pretty pricey. I guess I’ll just have to shop around.
I don’t know where you looked but around here, costs for 35mm “develop only” is cheaper than anything else. We’ve taken ours to CVS and Walgreens. We tell them “it’s artistic film” so they don’t think they fucked something up.
If you’re talking about making custom size prints from the negatives, then yeah it’s probably pretty expensive. Also look at your editing software – even if your scanner doesn’t have a negative scan option, you might be able to convert scanned negatives to the correct colors in post processing.

ParticipantB&W film is easy to develop yourself if you have access to a room you can make light tight. Even I can do it! I’m sure orionid could help you out with a materials list if you’re interested.

Participant*tiny spoiler* Funny, everyone else is going to have a hard time finding Gregor pretty soon too…
Lots of quality entries this week. I hope some of the newer people like Beer It’s What’s For Dinner stick around.

ParticipantReally good stuff thus far.
And now I’m going to gripe for a bit. I didn’t have a whole lot on digital for this contest. I was going to scan some negatives and then real life got in the way of doing anything. We had a massive storm hit last night and have been without power ever since. It may be several days before we get power back. So we’re in a hotel tonight to avoid going completely insane in a hot, powerless, internet-free house.
That sucksl! Totally valid gripe. I would be nuts without internet too. Post your Bs here when you can at least, so that we can enjoy them.

ParticipantUpdated for new rules changes.

ParticipantI think it’s great for “Infrastructure” 🙂

ParticipantNo worries, we knew you were out of the country. We survived and thank you for the FSM again, obviously we miss it when you’re gone.
Kestrana
ParticipantThey’ve pretty well answered already oddmind, but “Yes” to each of your questions. But besides that, welcome to the forum! I enjoyed your glass creations during the Scanner as Camera theme.

ParticipantWow, relationship be damned, I would probably sue her.
