I recently shot my first roll of #35mm since the 90s (and first ever with not-a-point-and-shoot), and I'm pleasantly surprised by how many I'm happy with.
I'm going to need to do some reckoning with being completely uninterested in doing my own developing or scanning while also hating doing any sort of post-processing, but right now I'm just having fun with it and I'm already halfway through my next roll. #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm

@rhiannonstone a happy cost midpoint: I sometimes send out to Robert at brooktree labs in Illinois. He does a good job and is cheaper than Bay Area labs.

@rhiannonstone yeah I didn’t like some online labs for scanning quality (like the darkroom). I like underdog (drop off at glass key in sf) but brooktree is much more economical even with shipping. Quality of scans is also good.
There’s some people I know who send their stuff to blue moon labs in Portland for processing as it seems reasonably cheap, then they scan at home, or at the Harvey milk photo center. Or at photolaundry which is my preferred darkroom locally

@skinnylatte Thanks for the suggestion! My main reckoning point here isn't so much cost as it is relying on labs for good scans. Even at the expensive labs, 35mm processing is significantly cheaper than all the Polaroid I shoot 😊. But I do want to try a bunch of different labs, so Brooktree is on the list now.
