Me too please, think paring up is the better option all round
and a 3 monthly programe seems about right too. but will go with what ever is decided. I can print from 35mm to 6 by 9 on 120. bobrob. |

I did it and enjoyed it before, so put my name down again!
I can do up to 6 x 6 at the moment. Terry S |

I'd be interested in this. I did this in another group many years ago and was lucky enough to get paired up the great Les MacLean. I learnt an awful lot in a short time!

Sorry, I was in holidays an read FADU from the smartphone. It was slightly confusing for me, so I answered here not recognizing the age of the thread.

It seems the idea of a negative exchange will not die.
However, we don't ever quite get this off the ground. If people are really interested (and the mods are happy) then I would suggest the following.
Things go wrong sometimes: Post goes astray, negatives get scratched, other mishaps befall us. We can reasonable assume no photographer would be careless with someone else's negative but no blame will attach to any participant in the event of loss or damage. Don't send a negative you would be upset at losing. I think 2 months should work, as it gives time to take and print a negative and print the one you receive. However, some members might choose to participate in both Print and Negative exchanges, so perhaps quarterly (4 per year) would be less onerous and encourage participation. In that event I'd suggest a maximum of ONE MONTH to send, not more that TWO MONTHS to print and return. My retirement hasn't quite worked as planned, but I could certainly make the time to act as organiser/co-ordinator for this. Mod approval vital as a negative exchange has the potential to cause unhappiness. I have twice sent negatives to individuals who were neither able to reciprocate nor return my negative. As with the print exchange, should this become established practice the aim would be to mix up participants over different rounds to allow variety. Several members who posted earlier in this thread are now no longer active. If there are new expressions of interest here I will raise a new thread to clean things up and consult the moderators on their feelings about initiating a new Negative exchange. |

Quote from Skellum's post above. "It seems the idea of a negative exchange will not die. However, we don't ever quite get this off the ground."
With a bit of searching you will find that this did take place and Skellum was one of the ones who took part in at least Round 4 http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...php/photo/1580 as did Terry S (Rounds 2,3 and 4) and Rob Archer (Round 1). Just a little bit of historical perspective on this. After a bit of discussion as above this exchange did happen but only ran for 4 rounds before it died due to lack of interest. If you read all the discussion the main area of concern seemed to be loss or damage to negatives but as far as I know there were no problems in that regard. The results can be seen in the Exchange Gallery if you scroll right to the bottom beyond all the Print Exchange section. If people are interested in resurrecting this it would effectively be Round 5. We would need a volunteer to do the organising of the exchange and as Skellum has made the suggestion on rules would he be willing to take the task on? The initial exchange was organised by Steve O and his rules can be found here: http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.or...light=exchange This would be a good basis if it is decided to run again.
