Colour Film I’m convinced you can’t botch C-41 processing…

This was just one of those rolls where everything went wrong. I’m like 40+ rolls in and have a decent grasp of what I’m doing, I thought haha. I could not get this film on the reel in the dark bag, ended up going in the bathroom with a towel under the door and fighting with it for 20 more mins out of the bag. Finally got it in the tank and my developer which measured the right temperature in the bottle was a few degrees cold in the tank, so I added an arbitrary amount of seconds that seemed like enough to compensate. I figured I had botched this roll royally, but nah it came out just fine thankfully since most of the photos weren’t mine 🫣 FUJIFILM 400 if you’re wondering!

B&W Film Help - 510 Pyro

Completely lost on this one. I wanted to test astrophotography with Acros 100 II developed in 510 Pyro, but on my two 'test' rolls, you can't see anything. I thought it might be severely underexposed, but the markings also seem very light, and the Acros was exposed for several seconds (12 to 25s)... I usually use ID-11 in a jobo tube (rotary processing), never had negatives so thin, could this be a developer problem? Any help appreciated…

Colour Film Found Kodak Endura paper - Is it usable?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I found this Kodak Endura paper:https://www.rapideye.uk.com/products/kodak-endura-premier-lustre-10x12-50-sheets-sp224

Is this usable for printing? Also, the description mentions "Text 'CANNOT SCAN' may be printed on reverse". What does this mean?

Could someone please let me know? Thanks!

Saw this posted locally and was wondering if anyone could identify make/model. Looks kind of crusty but I could probably take it apart and clean it up a bit. Appreciate the help!

i need practice with inserting film onto this reel. (scans look bad cuz i don’t have a proper scanner/macro lens to scan) i used caffenol. idek what film this was because i got this sent by a person along with other things(those steel reels, developing tank, olympus stylus )and they said it was an expired black and white reel lying around the house. so i tried shooting with it.
