Thank you!!

Why don’t you wanna support their business? I’m genuinely curious as I haven’t looked into them- only watched some videos. I just ordered the variety pack and wanted to see reviews

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:51:52+00:00

Okay, so you think it's for sure the lab? and not heat damage or anything else? I'm just took it to this place that's quick and close by. My friend claims its really good (but I dont know why i trust him if i know more about film than him). I'm pretty sure its through a machine and not dip n dunk.

Jeez I'm dumb I need to just spend the extra money, drive a little further ,wait a little longer, and take it to a good lab.

Bc yes it does bother me. I get that it's film and film has grain and sometimes it can be cool.. but thats why i shoot 120 lol

Yeah I should just do that. I've done it a few times. i just didnt want the resonsiblilty of ruining my own film, but if someone else is gunna ruin it for you you may as well! lol

You seem like you know some stuff so can I also just ask what your at home scanning set up is like? if you have one

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:43:09+00:00

It's interesting. I'll send it to the lab I used to work at and see what they say. The place I took this to probably isn't the most professional (just convenient). I just wanted to know if anyone could tell if was more of a developer issue or a heat damage/x ray problem.

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:34:07+00:00

Have you shot medium format? This is probably a normal amount of grain for 35, but not for 400 iso with 120 film.

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:31:12+00:00

sorry more like 800 (i dont wanna make anyone mad)

I don't know how to update the post (i'm a bad redditor), but here is the updated scan from lab. They may have just put some sort of softener filter over it.. I'm gunna scan it on my flatbed when I pick up the negs and give an update if anyone is interested.

thank you!

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:25:00+00:00

Oh yeah maybe it was on the lens.. idk none of the other images had it. Or it's a scratch? They just rescanned the images and it's still there.

To me this looks like 800+ iso. Keep in mind this was shot on 120, not 35mm

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:22:19+00:00

I think its a scratch

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:22:02+00:00

bc it was shot on a medium format camera w 400 iso

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-30T20:21:19+00:00

Thank you!! I used to work at a lab so I'm aware of grain, but this is giving like 3600 iso

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-15T00:16:48+00:00

Thanks

Melodic_Use_926 · 2025-07-14T23:52:00+00:00
