dear sir, i’m very impressed with your tutorial. i’ve just got one little question, do i still bring the roll of film to the store to develop negatives then scan or can i just scan the negatives right after shooting?

Hi people, I’m glad this little guide continues to help.
@ Shazuan – you will need a scanner that scans outside of the usual 35mm margins, which means one that can scan medium format film. There are many different scanners that will scan medium format negatives. Notably Canon & Epson make good models like the Canon 8800f, the Epson v500, v700 or if you look at the second hand market there are superseded models that will scan negatives well for a cheaper price.

I understand how it works but, how do you know to rotate the film to the right spot after you snapped a picture. Because the transparent side at the back will be covered to prevent exposure and 35mm film doesn’t show you the number of film that are in use. One more thing is, once you finished, how do you roll it back to be developed?

[...] This old clunker sat for ages in someone’s backyard near where we walk, along a dirt road next to a gently flowing creek. It sat next to another old mini in a similar state of decrepitude. Because these beauties sat at the back of a ‘bush block’ there were no fences as such, so I would whip out whatever camera I happened to be carrying at the time (never leave home without a camera!) and take a shot. Only last week we went past again only to see the rusting minis had been removed *sigh* so it goes… This image was my contribution to the exhibition ‘RESPECT’ a benefit exhibition to show our appreciation for this man, which is currently open at the New North Galleries in Fairfield, Melbourne. You can read more about it here. [...]

[...] needs to buy a 35mm back for 50 euro when you can DIY for a few cent! Last week after watching this video, I very easily made the modification to my 120 Diana camera, so that it would accept 35mm [...]
