>>3241253Film is a game for the young these days. Just talk to any old photographer guy and you can tell they were dying to switch to digital as soon as they first got the internet and logged into their first forum. Film is all stories about the days gone by and how they couldn't imagine using it anymore to them.
Are you having any particular problem with dirty c41 negs? I just use distilled water for every chemical step including the stabilizer bath, but since switching to a jobo processor I definitely don't have c41 negs that are as clean as they were back in my inversion processing days. It's only on sheets, but I'll get rather excessive white spots, tiny specks. Not a huge issue, but it would be nice to spend a little less time cleaning them up with a healing brush. I've had some success with a pre-wash and washing between dev and blix, but still not as clean as I'd like. Development is perfectly even, but I'll be trying a Fuji-Hunt kit next time I run out of c41 stuff (using a liquid Tetanal kit now). No troubles with e6 though, that stuff comes out flawlessly clean.
I'll be starting a new thread soon. I'm about halfway through developing 90 sheets from a three week trip out to California, then I'll be doing a lot of drum scanning. Here's one of my first developed Ektar sheets to add to the thread.
