Dear All,

I'm a new to all this, but i'm interested in making, in effect, some black and white slides.

35mm black and white slide film is no more http://hybridphoto.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gifm so i'm thinking of pursuing the digital negative route.

I'm only interest in printing black and white(transparent) geometric shapes, but at very very high resolution. Simply, as high as it will go.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what suitable media exist for such a project. The only stuff i have found so far is PermaJet Digital Film, which comes in A3 and A4 format.

Is there anything else out there that i could use ?

Any help most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

jon.

Yes, go to dr5. They process B+W film to a transparency, and the dr5 process is supposed to be very good. From what I've heard, some films in dr5 will return better results than Scala. They also do other developing, scanning, drum scanning,and can copy a digital file to film.

Just not true. Foma has a 100R series and Freestyle still sells a kit for TMAX film. And yes DR5 can do just about everyone else's film.
