I've an M3 and develop my own black & white film but get my C41 film and E6 
slides done professionally. Scanning is a problem as I've only got an Epson 
3200 and I'm unhappy with its results with 35mm film as I seem to get a 
better scan with 120 film. Thinking of upgrading to a better scanner at the 
moment. Probably a Nikon, but I'll take recommendations!
