I hope to embark on this mission and have as much success through the year as others have, if nothing else learn from the experience. The question I have is what are some good ways of shooting a roll a week but not spending a lot of $$ doing so? My normal methods are shoot slides or print film and go to a ProLab for Dip&Dunk. That is just not going to be economical for me to do that @ $9 or $17 per roll. Sooo I was thinking of going back to some B&W neg film and do the processing myself. It would save some $$ (I think) and I could look at the film a lot faster (same eve) instead of taking it to a lab and wait 3 days. I can set something up to at least process the negs but I still need a proof sheet. I have a slide scanner but the thought of proofing a few frames at a time feeding in and out doesn't seem like the best way, or is it? I was thinking of getting a cheap $100 flatbed to do the proofing on and I could use it anytime I didn't want prints made for the color neg film I shoot. How do you guys do it? Any thoughts or ideas appreciated! - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
