  • Do you shoot more color or bnw? I’m developing bnw at home, C41/E6 at a local lab and scan everything with a DSLR. Scanning can be tedious, especially bigger than 35mm, and internet wrongly taught us that camera scanning is a way to go. So, at one point I wanted to try flatbed, bought v600 for 55€ and boy was I surprised. It is a lot easier to use, the colors are better, and the resolution is enough for online sharing.

    So now I can choose which one to use according to my needs. For medium format - scanner, “I would like to show that grain” - camera, “Uh, I would like to post this shot” - scanner, “these colors don’t look right”- invert the roll with Negafix

    My point is, create yourself a hybrid workflow, use the tools at your disposal. If in summer you tend to shoot more - outsource something to a lab, in winter collect few rolls, buy a developing kit and do everything on your own (or the other way around if you enjoy winter more).
