Shoshone Falls Canyon, Early June

Not exactly a stellar image except for the backstory: I was shooting with the Mamiya 645 and somehow managed to grab the wrong tripod adapter before leaving home (hands no longer as steady as they once were). I went ahead and shot hand-held, but I didn't expect the sharp images that resulted.

Great Image Ken! What is this Ultrafine 100? Never heard of it . . but it is sharp . . .
 
@John Galt It's some new stuff I heard about and decided to order because someone I share the household with was starting to mention the money I was spending on film . It's a little less expensive than Kodak or Ilford, but I'm not consistently happy with it, for several reasons. I got it from Amazon (not that that's a cause for dissatisfaction). Sometimes it produces great results, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes too the negatives confuse my scanner. Whether it's the fault of the film or the camera or the photographer, I don't think I'll use it again. I got more consistent results from Ilford, that's all I know, so I'll go back to the tried and tested, so to speak. FWIW, here's a link to the 120 stock on Amazon:

Thanks and cheers, John.
 
Isn't this Kentmere which is made by Ilford? I get so confused these days about who makes what . Time I wrote it all down on a piece if paper and stuck it on the wall. Remember those simpler days, not so long ago, when the name of the product belonged to whomsoever made it
 
@pentaxuser If it's made by Ilford, I'm not aware of it. I doubt it. As I noted above, sometimes the negative size varied just slightly. I always get 15 shots a roll on the 645, but the size variations are visible. I want to say the quality varies too, but that's probably because of the photographer, rather than the film
