Shooting Panoramas on Film #2

This post was meant to feature high-quality images from a dedicated panaroma camera. However, it turned out to not be in working order. Meanwhile, I’ve shot some more pictures on the Lomo Sprocket Rocket.

How it all began: My first camera / Part 2

Getting the pocket films developed and properly scanned was much more complicated than I had expected. Fotoimpex Berlin, where I had bought the Lomography pocket films, had an offer of either only developing the films or having them developed, scanned and printed, at the price of 35 Euros per film. Plus you had to send them in and pay extra postage on top.

I found this to be quite expensive and went on the search for other solutions. After a while I found a lab in Berlin that would do it for about half the price. Alas, it turned out that half the price meant really bad quality prints and scans. The resolution of the scans was appallingly low, the exposure and contrast of the prints sub-standard by any account. I won’t share the name of the lab, suffice to say that they are based in the city center.
