Slide film after normal processing:

Sharp and good contrast with natural colours.

Slide film after cross processing:

Color saturated with high contrast with unnatural colors.

Negative film after normal processing.

Normal photos.

You cant cross process with negative film. No labs will do it for you.

Yes expired films can be used. :)

Hope the above photos help!

is your film develop yet?

a lot of people got confused with these terms:

Develop = Wash with chemicals
Print = Hardcopy

(Screened comment)
yes you'll get vignettes effect with 120 Holga if you use 120mm films with it.

but no vignettes if u use 35mm films with 120 Holga.

vignettes effect cannot be controlled. its all by the camera nature.

Develop and scan to CD rom means hard copy of the pics and digital format of the pics in CD rom?

Nope, it means washing your film with chemicals + digital format

If I want the hard copy of the shots taken plus the digital format how much will it cost? If it's cross process with slide film and 24 shots.

if im not wrong its $1 for each photo if you want to print it out.

it will be $5 for xpro
$5 for scanning
$24 for printing

im not sure the exact cost, you can always call up triple d to ask for quote.

I'll like to know to print out 35mm film what is the largest size that the image can go or is there a standard of 4R?

it all depends on your image quality. if its good and sharp, u can print it 8R or more

Thanks! You have been a great help!

(Screened comment)
normal processing means developing any any film stores.

yes u have to unload 35mm films in total darkness.

120mm doesnt require that because it has a paperbacking.

i have a 135bc but no flash..is that going to be a big problem when taking pictures?

you can't take in indoors and at night.

only in sunlight.

thank you :)

panorama is wider and longer photos.
35mm is just normal photo length.

Hi! Just a quick question.
How do you know when to starting taking photos and how many rounds to turn for the next frame when using a 35mm Adapter for 120 GCFN holga?

do give me your email to send u the click guide.

thanks

Hi,
i'm quite confused with the price.
Does it mean that if i 1 roll of film to Develop, which is 24shots. Then it would cost $3 for normal process for developing only?

And wad's the difference between 120mm Film and 35mm film if i used in holga?

yes $3 for developing for each roll

120mm in holga will have vignettes, create square photos.
35mm is regular rectangular size photo.

hi, look at your negatives.
are they blank?

if they are, means its underexposed.

use in sunlight if you are not using flash.
use flash when you are in indoors and at night (around 1-2 meters from the camera)
use higher iso film when you are taking pictures in lower lightings.

Hi, they are least popular, hence low in demand.

Thanks

(Screened comment)
the shots might overlap each other at the edge of the photos + ur film may get scratched by the internals.
if its scratched, ur photos will have lines on it.

hey khloe, if i use a 35mm adaptor for holga 120, do i go directly to any normal photo shop to develop & print my photos? will my photos turn out funny?

yes you can goto any normal photo shops to print them.

35 v 120

Hi

Can 35mm produce the vignette effect too if used in the 120 with adaptor?

Also can you publish the click guide? It seems very vague as in turn 34 clicks for 1st shot, 32 for 2nd, etc.... what happens if during transporting the camera i accidently click it forward?

Thanks!

35mm wont produce vignette with 120+adapter

If you accidentally click it forward, its okay, juts continue from where you stop.
doesnt really matter.

miao laan do scan images in CD.

35mm films is cheaper as it can take 36shots in a roll.

(Screened comment)
