I loaded up the Fisheye today with some Black & White film. I’m interested to see the results because a lot of what I like about the Fisheye is the vivid colours you get from the film.
On that note I still have SEVEN rolls of Fisheye from the Oz tour to get developed. It’s tempting just to wait until I get home at the end of the year and then look back at all those photos I’ll have totally forgotten I’d taken. On the other hand I’d be totally paranoid about losing them to the international postage system or airport x-ray machines or general carelessness!
Another factor in this is the cost of processing. For each of the first two rolls I paid (AUD)$5 for processing and $6 for the developing. I didn’t even get prints, just digital copies. So if I’m going to be a film junkie in the long run it would be worth investing in a negatives scanner, thus reducing each roll’s processing costs to $5. That being the case I’m a bit reluctant to fork out $42 now for developing.
