Let's say it that way: you probably could not do better with this scene as subject. I like the colour balance but that's probably the only positive thing in a standalone photo like this.
>>
>>3061139
the weeds in front of the car is hella distracting, i kind of like the tones, and the triangular space give a nice sense of depth, but i think it wouldve been wayy better with a slower film.
>>
Alright /p/, what kind of chemicals do you use, how long do they last and how much do you pay for them ? Do you reuse the fix and the stopping bath ?

Personally, I use
D-76 powder (1 L) : 5,80€
Tetenal Acetic acid (1 L) : 7€
ILFORD Rapid Fixer (1 L) : 14€
Tetenal wetting agent (0,25 L) : 4,60€
ILFORD Multigrade for paper (1 L) : 17,60€

I'm trying to know if I'm getting ripped off or not.

acetic acid is just vinegar, might as well get white vinegar from the grocer for cheap

You can try and source the fixer industrially, its just sodium or ammonium thiosulfate
>>
Weather's been fucking nice today, /fgt/s. What've you been shooting? I caught some mossy rocks and shit on 100TMX, Jupiter-8 w/ yellow filter (yeah, it'll never outresolve 400 speed film, sofucknwhat), gonna develop them later tonight.

>>3061166
I'm fairly sure that HC-110 would be cheaper than D-76, per film; euro price for that is like 24€ per litre which does 50-130 rolls depending on dilution. 7€ for a litre of name-brand stop concentrate isn't all that bad.

Get an eyedropper for the wetting agent, or you'll waste it because of overapplication; I've taken to pouring a tiny bit into the cap, then pouring it back into the bottle, and letting the spill run into the dev tank. That's how little it takes, like half a millilitre for a two reel Paterson tank.

Unless you burn through them very quickly, buy multigrade dev (all liquid Ilford chems, really) in half-litre bottles. Rapid fixer concentrate goes bad in about a year, same for multigrade developer, regardless of whether you've opened the bottles or not. Wetting agent won't spoil.
>>
>>3061139
With the industrial background, and that style of apartments which I love, I think if the terrain, and if the lens options you had were what I wish you had, it could have made for a better picture.
Also, maybe it's the scanner or something, but why does it look not that sharp for 6x6?
And maybe it's the lighting but it feels like a digital raw pre chromatic aberration.

>>3061248
So unmotivated I haven't even taken three rolls of c41 to a lab.
>>
whats the deal on reusing chems. Shouldnt the reaction get slower and slower everytime you dev a roll and pour the stuff back in there, requiring more dev time for each one?
>>
>>3061267
Exactly how you described it, although some devs/chems have such an excess of the active substance (at lower dilutions, of course, i.e. stock xtol) that the first few devs require the same times, before you need to start compensating.
>>
What are some good film photography youtubers?

How long do stock developer solutions keep once while opened?
I know rodinal keeps for years, but what about the others? Any personal experiences?

>>
>>3061267
For devs, what kurwa said. For fixer, extending the fixing time by a minute every 10 rolls per litre (with t-max counting 3x) and discarding at 25r/l tends to work well enough. Any longer and the fixer won't be strong enough to completely clear the film.

One thing you can do is two-bath fixing, with old crummy fixer doing 60% of the work up front and fresh young stuff finishing the job after. Problem with this is that it turns a 3m30s fix into 3m30s and then another 3m. Results are really good though.

Sorry bro, that lense combo won't cut it for film scanning. You need an actual prime macro lense, or at the very least an enlarger lense or 50/2.8 and bellows.

haven't got any replies in last thread so might as well go again:
got my first roll (fuji c200) developed today. scanned with rather cheap scanner from my uncle (some medion from aldi that seems to have really uneven backlight).
my father after seeing these pictures said that they look really washed out and out of focus.

where might be the problem, film? scanner? or it's just me taking shitty photos and trying to blame equipment?

other photos are here:

>>3059956
>>3059961

>>
>>3061449
all 4 of them?
>>
>>3061447
You didn't get any replies because you've obviously already identified the problem, you fucking moron.
Potato scans suck.
Use not a potato to scan them.
Also, negative scans require work to look good.
You will need to learn how to use the curves dialog box in your editing software.
>>
>>3061144
Well it's going to be in a series I'm working on in this industrial area. End goal is a 30ish image book.

>>3061161
Yeah...I couldn't get any higher unfortunately. Tripod was maxed out! What do you mean by it would've been better with slower film? I would've exposed it the same. Do you mean it would've been better with less exposure? That shot was 60 seconds @f4.

>>3061251
What lens option do you think would be better? I only had my 50mm and 150mm with me that night. And honestly, I think my 80mm would've been perfect. Planning to go back and reshoot using that. Quick and dirty proof scans are probabky why it doesn't seem sharp. That, and I think I should have stopped down another stop. The background is slightly out of focus.

>>3061447
The photos are pretty boring and are bad scans. I'm sure the negatives are fine.

>>3061475
i just meant that a slower film has higher resolution and less grain..

If you can develop B&W you can develop C41. It's no more difficult, just different.

Cost effective too - you can get ~20 rolls out of a 1L kit

thedarkroom is like $21 a roll(shipping included) for high quality scans and they send your negatives back to you. good deal if you ask me.
>>
>>3061590
For c41 I go to a local place.
I pay like 2.50 or 3 for developing only.
The guy has a machine so it's cheap, fast, and reliable.
Other labs around town ship it or take longer, so it's not as nice.
Also the guy is cool enough to not force people to buy scans, which happens with other labs.
Color is not hard, but it's not as piss easy as B&W.

Stop telling people this bullshit in every thread where it's mentioned, why are you trying to get people to spend more money when it's not necessary? Pic related is a 100% crop, no sharpening, scanned with a 50mm + extention tube on apsc. Now if you want to tell me this "won't cut it" or is "unusable" or some other bullshit along those lines, then you're wrong and a fucking retard.

>>3061336
The more time and effort you put into the scanning setup, the better results you will get. I place the film on a light table with some glass on top to keep the film flat, then set the camera on a tripod and manual focus on the grain. Find out with aperture your lens is sharpest at and use that (probably f8 - f11), you can even stitch together photos to get better results.
>>
>>3061694
Amazing! Noticeably less contrast and sharpness on an APSC corner (or mid-frame, if you're scanning with a FF sensor) at a diffraction limited aperture!
Now in fairness, your scan's sharpness is probably fine for most purposes, I'm sure. But any real macro lense will be better, and by a margin that any A-B comparison would be no contest. And that's before we look at CA, vignetting, and distortion. And as I mentioned above, this is only on a crop sensor. AND this is again only for your particular lense, whatever that is. Sure all double gauss fast 50's have some degree of similarity, but they're nowhere near as predictable as a set as 50 macros or tessars.
I give people that advice because if you're going to spend money to acheive a purpose, you should do it once, correctly.
>>
>>3061610
>>3061592
Wth, I pay €3 for just the negative development. €7 for negatives+10x17cm prints and a CD with the scans. The scans aren't that great and I rarely like all photos from a roll so I usually just get the negatives developed

Had this cheap dusty Olympus Mju I for a while now, liked to have it always in a pocket or laying around in my car.
Two days ago I wanted to put in a scuffed expired film where the film leader was a bit crumbled. It got stuck at winding so I tried to pull it out, did the best I could to not break anything but I had to pull a bit harder at some point because it seems like something was stuck.
So the problem is that it won't load anything anymore, the loading/winding sound is a bit weird, kind of crackling and well it just won't load the film. The display is showing me the "E" for empty/error.
Google just shows me retarded forum posts.

So well now theres something broken obviously and I have no idea what else I can try, tried to clean the winding mechanism, tried to push in film manually, tried different films.

Just now I realized that this metal piece that seems to push the film onto the winding thing is a bit bended, could this be the problem? I tried to bend it the other way but it doesn't seem to work, is it safe to screw the mju open? I've read that it has lots of miniature parts which easily get fucked up if you open it.
Would someone maybe take a picture of his mju on that spot or does anyone know that problem? Since from googling this it seems like there are quite some people with that problem and unfortunately the price at this moment is too high for me.

Anyone care to help?

Yeah Cyan back lighting helps balance out the orange colour cast from colour negative film but it can obviously be corrected digitally.

>>3061856
I could be wrong but I think on the bottom of the camera if the case is removed there is a film advance gear that is prone to stripping (it's plastic) and If film is pulled out with out the camera releasing (rewinding itself) then it will fuck that gear and now film probably doesn't advance. I'd bin it, get another, compact cameras are shit to work on, nearing impossible imo. unless someone has experience here to say otherwise.

Donde vives?
Guadalajara, and CDMX should have chems available in stores afaik.
Ya no vivo ahi desde hace un chingo asi que no te puedo ayudar mucho, pero si hay quimicos.
Try mercadolibre, or google quimicos fotografia mexico or revelador pelicula mexico, something like that, there are still places around.
Also, for darkroom, just use the bathroom. A common tip is to take a hot steamy shower in the morning, windows closed, door closed, let it dry. The steam will have cleaned the room of dust flying around, just make it lightproof (100%) with heavy cloths, tape, or whatever. You can use it then to load the film into the reel, works equally good to let the film hang and dry since it'll be dust free and you can make your mess there.

So I have a Minolta XGM and recently it hasnt been firing when I go to take a shot. Any ideas why this is? The batteries seem fine since the light meter works and when I test fire it without any film it goes and goes but when there is film sometimes it just wont fire.
Is there a feature that prevents a shot if the camera thinks it will be over or underexposed? because thats the only thing I can think of. That or its dying
>>
>>3062199
What's up with minolta posters and their dying cameras lately?
Answering your question, it may be the gear in the film advance, it may not be engaging properly, advancing properly, or something like that.
Make sure to crank it all the way through.

Also worth pointing out, two of my dev customers shot Menelta, one SRT, one HiMatic(?), both are broken.

I thought the point of getting old slrs for noobz was that they would learn to expose manually.

No, most do it for MUH-FILM-COLORS.

I think part of the problem was Minolta was the cheapest option back in the day, so every one and their mother picked one up. Most of these were probably treated very poorly.
>>
>>3062257
>I think SRT101s are better,
They aren't. The shutters lose time, stick in their gates, run the curtains at different speeds, get cracked and fungusy, the meters lose connection with reality, the aperture feeler on the body gets gummy/loses its spring, the mirrors delaminate. They're just not high quality cameras.

Found some old 35mm cameras from my parents and started shooting up some film the past couple of weeks, but i'm not sure where to develop the film. My local CVS charges about $14 per 24 exposures. Walmart is a bit cheaper but they charge a development fee (woman on the phone didn't know how much the fee was).
I'm wondering if it'd be worth it to just ship the rolls to a lab instead of trying somewhere local. I'm from Houston Tx if that helps.

Just picked up 5 rolls of this goodness at a beautiful camera shop in SF. All of them are 11+ years expired, should I compensate +1 stop when using them?
>>
>>3062689

Just cause his cameras work doesn't mean he is competant.
>>
>>3062693
No.
Compensate 1/3 of a stop maximum.
Slide film if stored correctly lasts a long time.
With very expired slide it's best to develop yourself, so you can adjust exposure and dev perfectly.

If they had it in a fridge/freezer shoot it at box speed. If not I'd add +1. I just shot some 64T exp in '97 at 32iso and it came out great exposure-wise. Had a NASTY color cast due to improper storage though. Pic related (colour corrected)

>>
>>3062712
I always develope slide films myself. Those film do not looked like they are stored properly in a freezer, but the average temperature in the SF Bay Area is ~60F, so I am not sure if I need any compensation. Even the owner of the shop suggested me to sacrifice one or two rolls to test the exposure compensations which I am definitely not going to do. Those films are too hard to come by for that kind of purpose.

>>3062770
Well them just expose it at 50 and develop one roll at a time, and adjust afterwards.

That should work. Thanks.

It's gorgeous. Certainly better than HP5.
It's strange how little people talk about FP4 really, because it's really a very good looking film.
I haven't tried pushing it, though, so I can't tell you how it works for that.
You should definitely buy a few rolls.
Delta 100 and 400 are both very nice as well. I prefer Delta 400 over HP5.
>>
>>3062756
Not if you shoot it under the right lights.

And by color cast, I meant massively green over the whole negative. The frames are green, everything is green as hell. Very obviously an effect of age and improper storage.

>>3062781
Shooting my first roll of Delta 400 right now! Pulling it to 200 since I'll be developing in Preceptol. Thst, + using a red filter has me shooting it at 25iso. Curious to see how it will look.

>>3062787
I see, that's unique, all green.

You'll love delta 400 though. It's one of my favourites, it's very versatile.
>>
>>3062781
>It's strange how little people talk about FP4 really
That's because it's 2 stops slower than hp5 without being any sharper, and takes 8 years to develop.
That said, it's good for broken or meterless cameras, because of its massive latitude.

Fairly contrasty, good tonal range, doesn't tolerate bad exposures as well as HP5, and dries flatter than any film I've ever used. I feel like it has a roughly comperable amount of grain to 400 speed films, but it's definitely much less coarse.

Well shitdicks, /p/. 100TMX in HC-110(b), 7 minutes 20°C. Like all the negatives on this roll scan so that most of the stuff is in the thick bits, and when I drop them down with a curve, the image loses all contrast. Shot with a 3x yellow filter (B+W brand).

Agitation was 30 sec initial w/ rod, then 10 sec at every x:00. Recipe from MDC, which said 6-7 minutes in dilution B. Developer was slightly cool, perhaps 19.6°C, at start.

Notably there was a second roll, which it yielded a couple of adequate shots (pic related, someone carved a late-term foetus into a tree stump), but the sea of flowers under early afternoon sun was similarly fucked for contrast.

Is this film a bitch? Or is it making me the bitch?

You can rate it anywhere from 400-2000 and develop normally and get good results

This is Natura at 800. It works just as well in daylight

Also meter for the shadows, as a general rule when shooting negative film.

I'll sell you one. You just gotta buy the whole g645s with it. For real though, I took mine off and never felt like I needed it.

Another 64T shot for ya'll.

Then hop on a bus and go somewhere interesting for a day trip.

I feel you, I used to feel the same about my area but I started to do two things:
>Walk around my area more and more, at different times of day, as much as possible to discover new places
which worked really well.
>Take the bus/train regularly to go to places around my area that I found interesting.

Hell, you'll be spending the better part of a Saturday for coffee, brunch and a new environment to shoot in. Doesn't sound too bad, and I live in Britain as well.

They eyecups are the standard threaded fitting for Nikon SLRs.
If you bought one and it "doesn't fit", it's probably because the rubber thread cover is still on the camera. Unscrew it to reveal the threads.

Starting "borrowing" Fujifilm Superia 400, got tired of paying for Delta 400. Realized that expensive film is a meme if you're not using high quality cameras.
I cross process the Fuji (Im a black and white fag) and am pretty satisfied, I like this shit tier film alot.

Found a guy selling 5 point-and-shoots for $25, he doesn't know if they're working. The only thing is, one of them is an Olympus XA that seems to be in good shape. Should I take the risk?
>>
>>3064180
If you really want to risk it because you may get a functional XA then go for it man, if not then it's not worth it.

Most point-and-shoots are a dime a dozen, you could easily spend the 25 dollars to get 10-12 random ones and have fun trying them out. Or, better yet, hold off and save up for a working XA.

But hell, this is coming from a guy that spent 20 euros trying to find a working Pentax Espio as a compact carry only to realize that it's gigantic and could kill a man if thrown hard enough. So take my advice with a grain of salt.
>>
>>3064174
Heu, J'ai moins cher avec digit photo...
>>
>>3064183
I have an Espio. It's not pocketable at all, but pretty comfortable to use. Then again that's the camera we used to use to take family pictures, so maybe it's all nostalgia.

I didn't even consider how fun it'd be to try the other cameras. There's a no-name panorama camera thrown in the bundle that'd be an interesting experience. I'm definitely excited to take the risk now. Thanks.
>>
>>3064194
Oh is it the Vivitar one or that other no-name ultrawide thing? Yeah buying plastic point-and-shoots for pennies and trying them out is great fun!

The Espio is comfy, I basically wanted to get it for the good lens performance even fully zoomed in but ultimately decided on finding a rangefinder over that.

There's this really great website where a British guy buys plastic p&s cameras and reviews them that you might wanna check out, I think you'll be able to find it by googling austerityphoto.

Good luck! Have fun with them either way.
>>
>>3064157
Sorry man, no idea. Just flipped through the manual and didn't see anything.

>>3064180
Having bought a few bunk cameras untested, it rarely works out in your favor.

Speaking of which, just bought this lil cocksucker. Had an Ultra Wide and Slim long ago and loved it. Hyped to get another one. 22mm f8 lens with a fixed 1/125th shutter.

>Paying For Film
I use a cheap ass Samsung Point n Shoot for the time being, my GR1 got fucked while I was out in Yosemite. And just stopped by my local goodwill, not too bad of a performer for $10.
Good Cameras? Well it's all subjective, I'm very into point n shoots, I used to own a Canonet Gliii and a Leica R7, I eventually got annoyed at how big they were and I always found myself leaving them at home because I didn't want to carry them all night.
So "high quality cameras" to me are things such as, Minolta TC1, Leica Minilux, Contax T2/T3, Nikon 28ti, and all the other typical "point n shoot gods".
I'm very much a hobbyist but definitely not some amateur Lomographer.
I'm into that grimy no context street shit. So I figured since I'm not really going at this like a purist, why spend the money to feel like one.

I don't shit on anyone who's out here killing it though, I apreciate anyone who still shoots film. It's a dying culture, and I love it. In LA alot of film guys are pretentious as fuck, but sometimes you meet guys like me who do it cause they just enjoy it.
>>
>>3064203

>buying untested or junk cameras

So fucking tempting though.

Saw a super rare X-600 on ebay the other day for $40 which wouldn't fire the shutter.

Might be a quick fix, might not. Hard not to buy it.
>>
>>3064208
Right? I bought an F3 for cheap because "it wouldn't fire." It had like a 20-year-old battery and the seller didn't even know how to turn it on.

>>3064203
That's so cute.
>>
>>3064203
Some dude made a Leica M-Mount lens out of this camera. Shit is cash
>>

But seller is Japanese Camera store, so I doubt he couldn't figure it out....

The Hanimex 35me is working fine but the light seals are completely destroyed. Also can't find a free manual for the Hanimex anywhere online.
Besides for the flash not firing the Olympus AF-10 Super seems to be in good working order. It also came with a cheap no name brand roll of 200 iso colour film 24 exp.

All of them other than the Walz are in fairly good condition, not perfect but should be usable. The Walz has sticky aperture blades. The Pentax has an unused roll of Kodak 200 in it already.

Yes it's dx encoded but it's in the olympus now so I won't be able to tell until I'm done shooting which will probably be later today.
>>3064293
Can't really overexpose on a point and shoot but I'll try my luck. When I got the olympus the shutter count was on 0 so I opened it up in my dark bag and the roll was around halfway shot. I'm guessing the people at the thrift shop opened the back up so it's likely the first half is all exposed, either that or it still has shots from the previous owner. If you're wondering how I got it out of the camera, it automatically rewound the film when I put batteries in it.

For future referencing, 'hacking' the DX code is super easy. Been needing to do it with the remaining rolls of Ultramax I have because it's so shit at box speed.
>>
>>3064685
this is quite nice, but straighten your shit m8
>>
>>3064508
I assume it's 160NS
>>
>>3064685
Does dx code tell you about the maker of the film? I already know it's 24 exp. ISO 200. If not that's fine its made in japan so its bound to be good film

Yeeee I gotta rescan that shit too.

>>3064702
That's what I'd think too.

Nah, doesn't tell you shit about maker. If it's 24exp, 200iso I'd bet ¥100 it's Fuji C200.

160 NS is the Fuji New Portra.
Back in the good old days they had 160H and 160C, with C being the higher saturation version, Much like NC and VC portra.

When everyone talks of "pushing" a film to 400 or whatever, they just mean treating it as if it is 400?

So they set their lightmeter to ISO 400 instead of whatever the film is, and expose like it says?

Does anything special have to be done during development? Can my local development place figure it out?
>>
>>3065400
Why do you want to do it?
>>
>>3065400
yes, you'll have to extend developing times to compensate. when people talk about pushing, they usually talk about pushing black and white film, or pushing when home developing. some labs dont push at all as their machine is automatic, and if they do, youll usually have to pay more for that.

also, if youre being an obvious noob at film the guy at the counter will probably snicker a bit when you come in with your lil canister of portra 400 pushed to 800.

Pushing is often really more about controlling the contrast of your film, than gaining a few extra stops. you should really know why you want to do it, before bothering to do it.

black and white is another matter. for example, hp5 pushed to 800 in xtol is gorgeous, and its how you should shoot that film by default.
>>
So whats a good 35mm film camera I can get with a light meter and some groovy aestetic thats not buttfucking expensive
>>
>>3065411
I wouldn't be surprised if that question is already answered both in this thread and the Gear Thread.

What's your budget exactly? I don't consider $500 to be "buttfucking expensive" but you might.
Is something like a Nikon F100 with a 50 mm f/1.8D lens too pricy?
(You want the vertical grip too. The grip is nice and it lets you use AA batteries)
>>
>>3065411
Any fucking one? Pick a company, go to the wiki that lists their 35mm SLRs, Google them until one tickles your
a e s T h e T I c s
>>
>>3065416
100$ as far as 35mm goes

But 500 for medium format.
>>
>>3065411
>>3065420
Like the other one, the F100 is a good option, and looks great imo, but it's not within 100 bucks I think, they usually go for 150 (yuros) around here, it's probably cheaper in USA so you might get lucky.
The F80 looks nice and is the (super cheap, but quality) alternative to the F100, it basically set the precedent to the modern nikon D line.
Both are very modern though, so if you want retro good looks get a steel body manual focus slr.
At that point just get whatever is there for cheap, they'll be probably sold with a 50mm and I guess that's all you need atm.
For MF for looks any box can be cute, the Mamiya 645 is smaller than most so it's not as terrible to carry and is cute and simple.
Any TLR can be had for that amount of money except maybe the Rolleiflex.
I would get a C220, it's a very pretty camera.

Anything will work.

I once ordered a bin bag from china filled with Nikon style pinch caps for 10 bucks.

But I have multiple off those drawers and almost none of it gets used.

Maybe I can offload some here for 'special price' if anyone fancies something.

>Pushing is often really more about controlling the contrast of your film

They snicker anyway. Especially after they develop my pictures.

>>3065445
>They snicker anyway. Especially after they develop my pictures.

I once got a compliment.

>S..s..senpai noticed me desu.
>>
>>3065434
I'm the guy who recommended the F100 earlier.
I used an N80 before I got my own and now that you mention it that really is a very nice camera as well. They go pretty cheaply too.
You can get a grip extension for AA batteries for the N80 too, so you don't have to buy expensive camera batteries.
>>
>>3065438
Where are you? Do you have Zuikos other than 28, 35, 50, and Nikkors other than 50?

>>3065478
Yeah, the only thing missing is weather sealing but other than that it has all the features one might need. And since people tend to prefer the single F models, the 100, or the manual focusing ones, the 80 goes for like 20-40.
And true, the grip can be ideal if the other batteries are hard to find around, but that said they last a very long time (no flash used).
>>
Just got a Mju I en Mju Zoom for 35 euros. I know the Mju I can have some AF problems but okay... Finally got myself a compact analog camera. I hate saying this, but sometimes I hate taking a big cam. For example, a while back I was sitting in the metro and 4 people in front of me were all fucking around with their phones. Pretty sad but one station had great colors which matched with their clothes. Really didn't want to take out my cam, turn it on, make noise and all that shit.

So now I can put it in my coat or whatever, that's good. Also nice for my nightlife photography.

I'm a beginner and I'm thinking about developing my own film once that time comes, but I don't have a way to scan and print afterwards.

Would it even be worth developing on my own as far as cost if I have to send the film to get scanned and what not?

a film scanner obviously, or scanning with a dslr
>>
Decided to try a new place closer to home to get some C41 developed.
Holy fuck, what a bad idea.
Four instead of six frame strip cuts, which will make it harder to scan, and dumb to store since the holder sheets are for six, not four, frame strips.
Two frames are scratched, film wasn't delivered in holder sheets unlike wherever else I get C41 developed.
Asked for contacts, instead of 35mm sized contacts, it's one of those bullshit card sized "contacts" (all frames in a card sized print). I can tell at least the exposure was right, but nothing else, fuck.
Never again.
>>
>>3066063
Ideally, a decent scanner made for film scans.
Personally, I use an Epson V750 pro to scan film , but that's overkill for most film scanning.
(I like it because it lets me wet scan my large format negatives)

obviously you want to go within your budget when looking at scanners, unless you go the dslr route (assuming you already have one)

Most of the photos came out really nice, but one or two of them look extremely muddy and like someone put the Structure tool on instagram full blast. They're really painful to look at.

Any reasons why they came out like this and some didn't? Badly developed/lens fucked up or the there's too much going on in the image

This happens to me too with fuji, the c200 I tend to use for snapshits.

Some tips on scanning Ektar? First time with it.
I feel like I have to go hard on the contrast otherwise it comes washed out.
Also, getting the tones right is proving to be difficult, I already have to set some hard curves to bring the color right but I still can't nail the temp, or so I feel.
I'm also falling asleep, so I guess I'll try tomorrow, but I'd appreciate some protips for Ektar.

>>
>>3066270
It probably was a bit underexposed.
The same happens to me when:
It's a photo where green dominates.
Or I underexposed it.
It's a cheapo labscan of fuji which likes to have a green tint.

The blue/cyan channel/layer is particularly easy to blow if it's not spot-on, and then everything looks like shit.
