Film is no longer available … at least at your favorite store.

Check with some place like http://www.freestylephoto.biz/ and see what they have to say. They have obscure access to photo products that some of us have never heard of.

Yes they can, but it may cost you more than the camera is worth. Are your images in focus? Does the crack reduce the quailty of your images in any way? If the answer is no, the just use the camera and produce outstanding images and forget about the crack.

You don’t. You wash the film in a film washer for 30 minutes.

Hypo clearing agent is for fiber based paper. It is used after an initial rinse (after fixing the print) and before it is washed in an archaical print washer.

35mm cameras typically do not have any “modes” except for P=Program, A=Aperture Priority, S=Shutter Priority and M=Manual.

All of the N series cameras are good cameras for amateur photographers (Nikon’s version of the old Canon AE-1 but new of course) and as a backup or “field” camera for professionals.

There may be an issue if you ever want to shoot IR film. Some of the N series cameras infrared frame counter located near the take up spool inside the camera. Canon EOS and some Sony/Minoltas as well.

If you are going to shoot IR film you will need to get a older F100 or even F4 (one of my favorite).

What were you thinking?

Have you ever taken a class in photography?

The first problem you may have encountered is getting the proper exposure for the film you are using.

Next if you follow Ilfords instructions exactly and use the exact temperatures indicated, your image will be just fine, however remember; perfect negatives is a function of both proper exposure and proper development.

That said, with a perfect negative you “should” be able to make a good print from all your negatives.

Save yourself some grief. Have a professional lab process the remaining rolls of film and have them print them for the “best” print.

Once you take your first class all this will become perfectly clear and you will become much more successful capturing and printing your images using your unique style

I love film ..

Here is a link to an inexpensive film scanner. I use it when I need to make a digital file for someone.

Pacific Image PrimeFilm, Nikon and Minolta make scanners that include ICE which takes care of scratches and dust as well as other things
