Yah yah, leslie. Finally!! It actually took me quite a while to finish the roll, and then a while more looking for a place to develop. And when I found one, the only time I could go was on Saturday before lunch since Applied Imaging closes at 6pm on weekdays ;)

Hmm, but I think my Nikon EM has a bit of problem cause some of the pics taken weren't exposed correctly. In fact, they came out in muddy grey, like there's a plane of grey filter on top. Maybe tonight I'll post some of the samples of what I mean.

[blur]

Here are the samples which I mentioned look muddy grey. Any idea what is the cause :?

mendee there are a few possibilities

1) It could possibly be the scanning problem, i asked my fren he said it could be a scan problem - scan in BW mode, but save in color mode. My friend had the same problem before similar like yours apparently.


2) Development time ( You aren't shaking the film canister wild or long enough HAHAHA) for the film itself was wrong resulting in incorrect exposure wont get so grey, only too dark or too white.

3) Your camera is fine, if all the entire 36 exposures turned out this way, then there's something wrong, but no right ?

But since only a few shots (correct me if i am wrong) turned out this way....it could be the scanning, something somwhere went wrong.

Advise - rescan the entire negative again, try to get your hands on a good flatbed scanner which can scan negative films and observe the above :) AS for the IT advise, i am not an IT person so i am not sure about the saving part. But one things for sure, since only a few shots turned out this way, it has to be the scan which went wrong.

You need to rescan it and save it in a proper format.

Ok here's what my friend just told me

Scan in BW, and make sure save in greyscale but not desaturate, because desaturate is still color mode.

Thanks, leslie, for the tips. I sent it to the shop for processing and scanning. Plus the contact print showed dark frames for those that suffered from this problem. So I thought probably the shots were very under-exposed, until I got home and viewed the scanned images.

In fact, the last time when I tried the BW400CN film, some frames also suffered the same problem. Which is why I thought it was due to my camera, maybe it was old and probably needs some repair.

blur, I am not sure if scanning can cause it, those shots look like exposure problems to me

[leslie]

Mendee bring your cam to j-One in Amcorp Mall and your prints as well. lets see what he has to say

[tresca]

What u mean by Tmax? :?

Tmax is name of the film . :D

btw mendee, azumi here is a development chart for films

http://www.digitaltruth.com/devchart.html

contains everything on each film and each developer how long to shake, agitate, bla bla, wat to use, etc :P

Hmm, maybe. I wonder if anyone can confirm this.

Happy shooting, azumi :)

Hold the negatives against the light (man... long time since I last saw someone do that, hahaha) and check the density. If the images are light on the negatives, you have severe underexposure. You should also compare the density throughout the entire roll.
