>negative film ages better than positive>black and white better than color>slow films better than fast>storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years*repeat again*
>storage conditions (dry/cool) matter more than years>Negative film is shot 1 or 2 stops overexposed and then PULLED in development so that you build more density in the exposure and develop less such that the fog is limited>slide/positive film is shot at box speed or overexposed and pulled.>if you home develop you can also use benzotriazole as a restrainer for the the first developer in E6 processFaq (ideas for answers below. Suggest changes if needs be)
>what should my first film camera be?If you have a DSLR system. Get a camera that shares the same lenses. If not, somthing in the vein of cameras like the Canon a1 or pentax super program should work
>why is film so expensive, it wasn't like this 5 years ago!Inflation mixed with manufacturing not catching up with demand
>is medium format worth getting into?No unless you have the money or need the resolution
