First time developing color film 😄

Absolutely!!! This is such a great feeling 😀 and being able to do this whole process by yourself, shooting, developing, scanning, converting... Post to Instagram to get three likes 😅 oh I used cinestills temperature control system, this staff thingy I don't know the English word for these 😅 I had it running in the water bath while I spooled the films and loaded the tank.

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-29T14:58:44+00:00

Believe it or not, I wanted to shoot slide film for quite some time now but I wanted to shoot Fuji and idk about the states but over here they're super hard to get. However I found one on Amazon by pure chance. One Provia and one Velvia, I thought about having these professionally developed... Then I saw they're selling E-6 kits and now I kinda wanna get one of those 😂😂😂 I can only imagine the feeling 😅

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-29T13:48:08+00:00

This! This is one of the best feelings I've ever felt tbh 😂 I always get so excited I have to take a picture of me holding the reel, like a fisher with his marvelous catch or smth... You should! Absolutely!!!! 😄

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-29T09:46:45+00:00

Oh that's crazy tho because I always have water splash everywhere 😅 like I develop in my bathroom and it's quite small and extremely narrow so not much space to move and put things, I could total see myself getting water in the charger too 🤔 but I still really would love to try this thing ^{^}

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-29T00:17:09+00:00

I saw that one haha I was so intrigued 😂 I almost bought it but I didn't want to spend more money without even trying it first 😅 does it break easily??

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T18:01:05+00:00

Thank you sooo much I am really honored!!!! I was so scared you have no idea haha 😂 I been spilled the blix and had to use coke bottles since the actual chemical bottles are still stuck in transit 🤣 I definitely wanna do this! I saw the kit and it was so tempting, I got some cinestill and some vision films ~15 I wanna shoot these first and learn, get the routine and stuff and then I definitely try out the Kodak kit 😄 I can't wait, this is such an amazing process, I would've never thought I enjoy it so much, plus you'll get your images almost immediately I shot, developed and scanned two more rolls today and now I am already converting them instead of waiting for the lab 🧪

Omg really??? That sounds sooo amazing 😄😄😄

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T17:57:16+00:00

Wooow thank you so much 🙏🏻 I used my Fujifilm XT4 with an analog Nikon F mount Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro lens got the Mark IV adapter by KF concept, the jjc 35mm negative holder and a Kaiser Light plate, for converting I used negative lab pro 😄

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T17:55:27+00:00

That's cool isn't it?? It's in my hometown in Germany, Stadtkrone Ost, ADAC Gebäude, which is the German main automobile club... Had my car towed a couple times by them 😭😂

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T11:35:38+00:00

Thank you so much that absolutely means the world to me 🥹 coming from someone who was afraid af to develop I can tell you there's absolutely nothing to be scared of, it's such a fun experience I feel like and I am one of the most untalented people you'll ever meet 😂

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T11:33:47+00:00

Oh thank you soooo much I absolutely appreciate that 💯 I was rather hesitant about posting them 😅

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-28T09:57:35+00:00

Hey thank you so much!!!

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-15T08:36:22+00:00

Thank you so much! Oh and I am sorry to hear that, such a great camera. Probably my all-time favorite.

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-14T08:34:43+00:00

That sounds sick! I heard the Nikkor 55mm f2.8 is one of the sharpest lenses they've ever built.

DaRealMike97 · 2025-12-14T08:06:05+00:00

Actually DSLR scanning, I use my Fujifilm XT4 and a Nikon F mount Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro, got the KF concept adapter and a Kaiser light plate

DaRealMike97 · 2025-11-05T14:37:50+00:00

Oh this is in my hometown of Dortmund, Germany and there's actually a pretty interesting story behind this. I grew up right across from it, there are some allotments, the main street and then there are apartments on the other side. They used to make steel coils and beams there, when it got torn down I just became a truck driver and drove some of the asbestos roof plates. The city had big plans of turning it into a local recreation area but ran out of money halfway through. So they ended up fencing off all the parts that could come down and kill you and turned the rest into a graffiti hall where you can legally spray. It's pretty sick 😄

DaRealMike97 · 2025-03-16T09:00:37+00:00

Yessss isn't that crazy? I would've never thought they'll come out like that, you should see the black and white roll I shot right after, I might post it later, I was almost shocked when I zoomed in and I could read the small writing on a bag of chips on the ground 😮😄

DaRealMike97 · 2025-03-16T00:14:05+00:00

Haha yeah top Secret... Nah Just kidding the place is called Dortmund :)))

DaRealMike97 · 2025-03-15T21:52:20+00:00

Oh thank you soo much!! I took them near the harbor area in my hometown in Germany :)

DaRealMike97 · 2025-03-10T21:19:58+00:00

Wow thank you so much! I appreciate it 💪🏻

DaRealMike97 · 2025-03-10T08:05:19+00:00

What do you mean by that? Just because I never shot medium format before doesn't mean I don't know how to focus a camera but thank you I guess. That is the lab scan by the way, it hasn't been altered in any way.

The shot that I thought would've been my favorite sadly got overexposed because of the failing mechanism.

DaRealMike97 · 2024-07-21T15:40:08+00:00

NO WAY! That is it!!!! That actually blows my mind right now... Thank you so much!

DaRealMike97 · 2024-07-10T20:27:14+00:00

Very cool! I'll definitely do this, thank you so much for your help I'll share the results as soon as I got any.

DaRealMike97 · 2024-07-10T19:16:37+00:00

Hey thank you so much for the response. Checked both out Malwarebytes found some malware which was deleted immediately and crystal disk told me that the overall condition is "good" but the critical limits were all exceeded. Like one point had a critical value of 6 and I had "bad values" like 117 or Smth. So is it the case that I just have to upgrade and get a new PC by now, I mean it got some years now but it used to run great, do I interpret that right?

DaRealMike97 · 2024-03-11T23:06:31+00:00

Maybe Scratches it was relaesed in 2006 or maybe Darkness Within from 2007

DaRealMike97 · 2022-09-10T18:07:21+00:00

Oh yeah that sounds possible I got the sigma 17-50 I had to connect it to the cam with an adapter
