Hi all,<br><br>Thanks Kelly for the heads-up on this. I would be down with E-6'ing, if I were able to get out more and shoot. But I haven't really been for a whiles now (as you know). I wish you lots of success.<br>
<br>I am sure y'all are already familiar with <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/photographers-supply-san-francisco-2" target="_blank"><i>Photographer's Supply</i></a><span onmouseout="cancel = false; window.setTimeout(WRCHideContent, 1000);" onmouseover="WRCShowContent({'rating':{'value':81,'weight':60},'flags':{},'ttl':3600,'expireTime':'20110624160622'}, this.className);" class="wrc12" style="padding-right: 16px; width: 16px; height: 16px;"></span> on Bryant (b/w 2nd & 3rd). Sometimes they have cheap film: expired, discontinued, small lots, whatever. I've picked up some Fuji Sensia 200 36 exp for about $3/roll, some Kodak Elite Chrome 100 & 200 for $2, some Rollei R6 400 36 exp b&w for $2/roll I think. I know I got a bunch of Fuji T64 for crazy cheap (maybe $4) which is one of the best films to redscale IMHO. I haven't been in for a long time, but it just depends on what they're clearing out ATM.<br>
<br>Volker at Just Film was always nice to me, he's given me free rolls to review and give feedback on, but he'll never have anything bargain priced like Photographer's Supply <i>might</i>.<br><br>If anybody out there likes crazy toy-camera like saturated colors and a good C-41 film stock for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ambientimages/4252529234/" target="_blank"><i>redscale</i></a><span onmouseout="cancel = false; window.setTimeout(WRCHideContent, 1000);" onmouseover="WRCShowContent({'rating':{'value':96,'weight':100},'flags':{'social':1},'ttl':3600,'expireTime':'20110624160622'}, this.className);" class="wrc13" style="padding-right: 16px; width: 16px; height: 16px;"></span> that looks vintage, the former Konica Centuria 100 that is now branded as DNP Centuria 100. Photo Plus on Polk was selling me these rolls for I think $4/ea, since I was buying several rolls per week a year or so ago (I think his name is Eric?).

---------------------------<br><br>Just a brief intro of myself to the rest of you... Hi! I was doing a lot of experimenting using homemade developers last year. Using the standard Caffenol-C recipe (coffee as a film developer). Then started using anything I could imagine and get my hands on: tea, rosemary, tobacco, wine, orange peels, Tang/Gatorade/Hi-C powered mixes (fail!), vitamin supplements, tree bark, etc.<br>
<br>Somehow, I even got vibrant color from a few film/dev combo's. Like the enclosed Velvia 50 using rosemary as a film developer. Also attached: Fuji NPH 400 developed in coffee (Caffenol-C) and DNP Centuria 100 redscaled.<br>
<br>While I doubt I can make it in to Noisebridge anytime soon, I have a heap of things to deal with right now, if anybody has any questions about homemade developers, perhaps I can try to be of some modest help?<br><br>
I also have the majority of a <i>case</i> of Fuji NPH 400 135-36 C-41 film laying around expiring. I can offer Noisebridgers (?) 10 rolls if somebody wants to swing by Hayes Valley within the next week to pick it up. This film stock used to sell for about $8/roll. It had always been in a freezer until a few months ago, so the exp date on it is 3-2007. But it should still be vibrant, reliable & excellent for a little while yet. I simply don't know if I'm gonna need to move out from my place by July 1st, so after next week, I can't say if I will still be available.<br>
<br>Best of luck with the E-6. I am so jealous. I'd love to visit Noisebridge sometime in the future & meet some fellow photography experimenters in the community.<br><br>Cheers.<br><br>David Pan<br><a href="tel:415.637.3713" value="+14156373713" target="_blank">415.637.3713</a><br>
