Bluefire film

So I picked up a trial pack of the bluefire police film from frugal photographer

And I was wondering if anyone out there had used it in a Minox and would be

Willing to share some of his or her shots with it good or bad.

 

Once I get it cut and loaded you can bet I will post some of my own here.

<p>I remember trying out once a Bluefire roll,and I used the processing time and dilution of Agfa Copex in Studional (rated ASA 12).Negative was a tad on the underexposed side,but printable.I also seem to recall the film was of the thinnest (quite annoyingly so) I have seen:-)).</p>

<p>Alas,those pics are long gone.Looking forward to seeing yours here though.</p>

<p>Kind regards,</p>

<p>Good luck with the Bluefire. I had forgotten I had some 35mm bulk and have been agonising over slitting 16mm Imagelink HQ for the the 'B'. I have a slitter for 35mm so will get on to that ASAP. I had thought I'd have to make a guide to keep the 16mm straight in the 35mm slitter. You've solved my problem - all unknknowing!</p>

<p>In 35mm I found the H&W was OK and Pat Gainer's PC borax was good too. ISO 50.</p>

<p>Al very experimental - no images to show. Thanks for the nudge.</p>

Well I've cut loaded and now developed the shots I took with the bluefire I got. This was the first

Time I have ever developed any kind of film, I was scared witless. Yet somehow they came out hell

It had to have been an accident. Cuz I had screwed up right from the start

I had negligently forgot to put the 36 exp ring in the tank. I had mistakenly thought I had the tank from I think it was the late 60's

Early 70's it cam with only one ring, so I figured it was the smaller Tank with the 15 exp ring.

I was wrong.

So yeah the tape that held it on the take up spool let go and I didn't know it at the time.

 

So basically the film was all wound around the bottom of the tank when I took it out. When I started to pull the spiral out and didn't

see any film I about shit myself. Then I saw that at least the images came out and quickly dryed them off and thy are hanging as I

type this all out.

My question to you guys is this. How do I upload them here without a film scanner?

Is there a cheap way to get them digitized?
