  1. Finally, I've got my latest films developed and scanned. I disassembled my scanning rig in hope to get soon EFH (The Essential Film Holder #essential_film_holder), but it took 3 months to perform simple laser cut on plastics and ship it with Royal mail... What can I say? EFH is a good thing, but 3 months to wait is way too long. Too long. From the other hand, I still cannot use my copying stand with it because of not having enough hight. So, finally I assembled back my old good scanning rail and copied all 150 negatives 😅.

    One thing makes me happy is that cheap #fomapan #fomapan100 film. I run out of my previous developer Fx-39 #fx39 and bought that new for me - HC-110 #hc110, a German-made replica of original Kodak developer. And other great thing was to shoot 100 film at ISO64 and develop at dilution 63:1. This gave me fantastic contrast and negative density I like so much. I bought bulk roll of fomapan 100, happy with it so far.

  3. I made a 16mm film scanner using Lego technic! 🎞️⚙️

    The film is slowly pulled by a motor, passing the frames in front of a camera with a macro lens that I picked up at MPB for 60 euros. The rig itself sits on a glass plate from my fridge. It films constantly, capturing all the frames as a video. Then I asked Chat GPT to write me a Python script that selects the frames and only keeps those where the sprocket holes are perfectly aligned.
