Instamatic Retro

Step 4 Develop, Scan, Print

After shooting a reloaded cartridge, unload the camera in a film changing bag or darkroom.

Remove the film from the cartridge and spool. Keep them for your next roll.

Coil the film and put it in a black plastic film container.

Most labs will give you old 135 containers free.

I ask for "Negatives Only" cause it is only $1.49 and I scan them with a low-cost home scanner.

You can also have the negatives individually printed at your local photo lab.

Relax, shoot from the hip, and have fun reloading Kodak Instamatics.

When I take my film out of my 35mm canister I save the canister and then reload it in a darkroom and its good to go. when i go to the lab i let them know that the film inside has been shot in a different canister then reloaded back into the 35mm can

yeah, I don't quite follow how the film goes into the developer without being exposed when it's just in the canister like that. Normally film processing machines feed in the dark directly from the metal casing...it would be easy if you were processing your own film but otherwise..

what do you tell the people at the developing lab? that the film is in the 135 can by its self?
