These are not my first. My first I did on slide film and will need to send to a special shop that would process just the positive and transfer on CD. Gama Photo in Chicago I was told is one shop that will do it.

I was the photographer for the Hemp and Peace fest, organized by Jim Patton of Chicago at Grant Park. It was a three day fest, Friday-Sunday. I was there just Sat-Sun.

I had the film camera as a backup and it came in handy when problems with the SD9 arose.

200 ASA film, Walgreens cheapo brand.



Howie, from Electric Medicine. 18-30mm DC lens.



105 EX I think



18-30 DC



Some crowd





Here is Jim Patton, performing in his band, Patton and his privates:



I am impressed with the film quality even from cheap film. But processing negatives and making CD costs about $6 per 36 exposures. That does not sit well with my pocket.

I've worked on a Fuji minilab before and I know you can get away with putting several rolls of film on one CD. I'll make friends with a minilab operator at a small shop before going into film. :P

One question, how do I disable the date imprinting on the negatives?

I'm happy as can be with my SD9.

Just clone them out with PS once you have converted them to digital image files.

and it is an interesting form of media... duh, I suppose. It has lasted longer than my life.

the date stamp is lame. I know almost nothing of the SA-7, so I can't help. Did you add vignetting to any of those shots? There are many great and relatively inexpensive film cameras. I guess using the SA-7 makes sense if you own SA EX lenses already.

18-30 DC? Typo?

The truth is rarely black and white.
 
Being film, the SA7 has a larger frame than the DC lenses are designed for, and which you used for a couple of these shots. DC lenses will cause vignetting or degradation outside the area of smaller digital sensor.

Jason:

King Soopers market here in Denver will process the film at no charge and put the file on a CD for $2.00/roll.

If you can see the light, you can photograph it
Quote from Myron Woods
 
If you cannot find a minilab guy to become friends with, I suggest thinking about an own scanner. The Canon 8600f I use costs about 150 bucks and gives you 16bit tiffs to work on. Maybe you can get one on ebay for half the price. Sure its not the same quality as a drum scan but you get around 1800 pretty good dpi from it.

Minilabs these days do auto-adjustments with explosure. Don't know
about color though, that's how it came out.
