Hi All,

Feel like I'm going back in time with this....

I'm going away to the east for a few weeks and taking both my digital compact and film SLR. The digital will be for most things, but I do get better results with the SLR.

Can anyone recommend a decent developer for when I get back?

And linked to the above, slide film or negatives? and any recommendations of brand? It'll be slow film I'm after, nothing moving too fast!

Cheers,

Kenny

In reply to Kenny Larsen:

Many of us use Peak Imaging (peak-imaging.co.uk I think)

It's popular to recommend slides for best colour rendition and sharpness but really, unless you'll be scanning them in with a really good scanner, or regularly projecting them, you can find (well, _I_ have found this!) that you don't even look at those images all that much! Colour neg can be pretty good - Fuji Reala is a good 100-speed one, vivid colours.

In fact here's some results (kind of snapshotty but they should show the colouring well enough) from Fuji Reala that was processed and scanned at my local Tesco!

and I put this one into mono, but it should help to indicate the sharpness of the film (even if it is a shrunk down version of a 1800*1200 cheap scan!)
