IF FILM PHOTO OLD.. BUT FUN

I wanted to write this way for a while since  reading and watching news and information of the current pandemic are stressful. I wouldn’t want to say more. I didn’t open my whatsapp as regularly or as I normally did. Tried to avoid distressing news, can’t. Friends too ask questions if you stay quiet longer than you usually did. Catastrophic. 


Keep this aside momentarily; I ordered online most of the items needed for both colour and  black and white film processing from various online shops. Prices varies for my standard aren't cheap! The US1 dollar is RM4.35. Postage charges for some items are three times the price of items. Malaysian online shops aren’t  all reliable, items are badly described and lack of discipline in communication, I would say. Aside camera items, I lost a few ringgits with Lazada, sometimes refunded and sometime vanished.  Mudah.Com has lots of thieves especially people from African's states, among them are Nigerians infiltrated into the system they're in Malaysia. Ebay is alright depending which countries you’re dealing with, be extra cautious in dealing with Indonesia, India, Malaysia,Thailand alike. To my surprise I've no problem  with China's traders on line like Alibaba and  AliExpress damned good.  While another, Amazon is good and of course many more perhaps you people are more conversant than me.


Come back to photography, perhaps in three weeks’ time I should be able to do the processing. Those interested to try their hands can pick up film camera. We’d  develop ourselves. I’ve checked and talked to video group of KK originally film photo told me they sent their films  to KL  that turned them to video instead.


If any wants film roll maybe I could help ordering, I'm looking somewhere cheaper,  I researched and mentioned earlier  the price per roll of ordinary Kodak of 36 exposures can  be more than RM50.00 But  I also discovered  cheaper somewhere that  sell  Kodak around RM 30-35… not expired but useable.


Of course the biggest handicapped we have now is  we can’t simply roam around, in my case even my cat got fed being photographed.


Alright folks, look after yourself  and family around you~amdesidik
