First roll of 120 film developed Constructive criticism!!!?

[zdw1116]

Just got a mamiya 645 pro tl and just trying to figure out how to work this thing! Please let me know what i can do to improve image quality (i know alot of them aren't in focus, but i was on a hike and my friends werent waiting for me) plus its hard to see whats in focus or not through the viewfinder. Is the film i'm using having an effect? Also, what are the most efficient ways of getting film developed and then selecting which shots to get prints from? ive got no room or time for a darkroom and my budget is tight. I only have color film because i was given 30 rolls but i'd love to shoot some b&w. help!!!

thanks alot
Zach

What lens were you using? As you said, the focus is off in several of them.

Get yourself some b&w film and learn to develop at home. You can load film in a dark closet or bag and develop over your kitchen sink. Then you can scan the negatives. You can buy a complete home developing kit with chemicals for less than $50.

Keep shooting film, you'll be rewarded for your efforts!
