<p>@Ian Rivlin, Thanks for that info! The contrasty look in the photos does make me think some overdevelopment took place but do you happen to know how come the highlights don't go all the way to white nor the shadows all the way to black? The whole photo more or less stays in a greyish middle area even though the tones do have some contrast.</p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>I am in the curious process of recreating the looks of a few of my favourite photographs and films with the purpose of continuing to learn about processes and results.</p> <p>I found myself very interested in the film "La Jetée" by Chris Marker. I found the photographs very beautiful and inspiring.<br> The information i could find about the production was scarce. I mainly found a Pentax camera was used for every single photo but even the model is in dispute.</p> <p>I am more interested in knowing what kind of methods/film/developing process you guys would use to achieve this look.</p> <p>I'll leave a few screenshots from the film here: http://imgur.com/a/4EuON</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Would cutting them in strips of 2 frames help?</p>

<p>Third one is a fingerprint along with some dust. I'm amazed everyone keeps giving recommendations for your process and even though it's not by the book, I think it's working for you. You should consider those marks might be just dirt.</p> <p>Grain isn't necessarily an issue.</p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p>I have an amount of 35mm and 120 negative rolls along with some prints and framed slides and am looking for an alternative to storing them. Plastic sleeves are strangely expensive where I live and they don't seem terribly convenient to store alongside their prints. </p> <p>I am looking into making my own envelopes for storing them but I need recommendations on the types of paper most suitable for archival. </p> <p>I was thinking of cutting the 120 film into individual frames and making a four flap envelope with some parchment paper (or maybe onion skin paper?) that seems to be innocuous, all frames from a single roll would go into an individual envelope and all of those into some sort of sliding cardboard box. The same would apply for the 35mm film except i'd cut them roll in sections of 6 frames and make the envelope size accordingly.</p> <p>For storing prints i'd make some larger kraft paper envelopes and I'd also put the film in their parchments envelopes inside that kraft envelope.</p> <p>For the slides I'd just store the frames in a sliding cardboard box.</p> <p>Does this sound like a good idea? Do you guys have any other recommendations for paper types?</p>

<p>Would something like shooting on regular ilford film, contact printing with the Eldia on Lucky SHD100 (no anti-halation layer) or Ilford PAN F (clears after developing) and developing normally work?</p>

<p>Thank you all very much for your responses. I am still a bit unclear about a few things: when using film like Eastman 5302, Kodak 5302, Fomapan-R, etc. Do you guys mean shooting with those films? Or do you mean shooting with normal b&w film and contact printing with those films? Also what would be the developing like in each case?<br /> <br /> Ideally I'd like to use the photos I've already taken with normal b&w film and find a way to turn them into slides, plus I like the idea of having both the negative and "positive" versions of my photos. That's why I was looking into the Eldia. I'm guessing the last resort would be to shoot directly on reversal film, but I still need clarification if that's what you guys mean.</p> <p>Thanks for all your help so far!</p>

<p>Hello, I'm currently researching a way to turn my black and white film (both developed and undeveloped) into slides for use on a slide projector, but I am still unclear on a few things.</p> <p>I'll most likely be using the Leica Eldia for this process, some manuals and forum posts seem to indicate one has to use orthochromatic film. Is this completely necessary? Is there any disadvantage to usingregular b&w film, such as the ones I use for shooting in a regular 35mm camera?<br /> I understand the use of orthochromatic film might be of benefit for the process of advancing both the "print" film and the negative film, but is there any other reason as to why to use it?<br /> <br /> Also, do you have any suggestions for the set-up? Lamp distance/power, positioning, etc.<br /> <br /> Another question, is there a more appropriate way to doing this job? I'll probably be doing this quite frequently but not in an industrial way, it's just for my personal projects.</p> <p>I've also read an article on the Ilford site (http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/20114271220441194.pdf) about reversal processing, do you guys have any thoughts on this?<br> <br /> <br /> I understand this might be a very niche question but I'd appreciate any help I can get!<br /> <br /> Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for your responses.</p> <p>The reason I'm trying to achieve this look is purely because I find it nostalgic and quite pretty. I really am not looking to put my results in a gallery or the like. I feel these pictures have a certain beauty to them.</p> <p>I found many of these pictures in old children's books, I'm guessing that's where most of the nostalgia comes from.</p> <p>I have analised the photos again based on what you guys have said and I do believe a lot of the look comes from the printing process. However I feel there is still a certain factor to these photos that has little to do with it.</p> <p>To me it feels like it has more to do with lighting; many of them have very particular shadows that I dont see very often on regular b&w photos.</p> <p>I found one extra example, it may as well be "cheap printing" but as I look at it I find it the quality of it relies on the lighting:<br> http://imgur.com/G6v57jb</p> <p>I'd very much appreciate any further input!</p>
