Apologies if these look too big, I havent uploaded them to Flickr yet so I had to manually add them. Taken with the Rolleicord IV and Phoenix, I think it shows how different it can look in a cloudy or sunny day. I personally love it though, I'm very happy they have released it in 120. Pretty...

Sounds good but it means Kodak has basically all control over negative colour film pricing at the moment. So if they raise prices, there's no competitor to switch to.

Okay, so if I understand correctly, there's no widely available C41 Fujifilm actually made by Fuji anymore, only slides? Which would obviously mean there's no manufacturing going on, I mean who would run an entire film operation just for E6.

Stupid question maybe, but is C200 still a thing? Or has it also been replaced by a Kodak made film? I can buy it online here in Ireland at 13€ a roll (not a chance I'm paying that) but is this the same emulsion or what? Seems like the only thing that would be left on sale here in Europe...

Overcast and 100 speed film? 125th of a second, and 5.6 and you will be fine. The nice thing about overcast days is that the light is very stable, and metering becomes silly simple. I find it way more difficult on sunny days, because the contrast of shadows and direct light can be hard to judge...

That's pretty much what I needed. Thanks a million. I don't intend to use it for every picture, but I feel it does work for some shots.

You could be right. I am not familiar with darkroom terminology because I have always worked in a hybrid workflow. I know its sometimes seen as gimmicky, and the filters that I have seen tend to be too obvious, hence why I was wondering if there was a subtle, easy way to mimick them. What you...

In no particular order: Agfa Clack Holga 120N Rolleicord IV Lubitel 166b Soho Pilot Balda Baldixette Chuo Harmony The last two will be going away soon.

More and more I'm replacing other brands by Adox products (and Bellini too) and no regrets at all. So glad to see them bringing back Tetenal products back.

Thank you. That's the search term I was looking for, sloppy borders. I'll have a look to see what I can find.

Hi everyone, This is a very basic question but I am struggling to find an answer for it (maybe I am using the wrong search terms). I want to add subtle uneven, darkroom print-like black borders to my images, for my film scans. All I can find so far is about the super basic stroke function in...

Are you shooting RAW or JPEG? These settings are only for JPEGs. In any case I would recommend keeping it off, since you can use Topaz more effectively.

And four more, these show a bit more how it renders muted tones. It certainly oversaturates at times. Grain is like shooting an 800 film.

Just a quick collage of four images I got from my first roll. I shot this on a Minolta X-500 because the metering is always spot on and I shot it at 200. I scanned using a Plustek 7200 and linear profile. I think the colours are quite appealing, I was expecting much wilder results in line with...

If you like the look of Gold 200, then go for it (or maybe Ultramax 400 is a compromise between the two?). But if you dont care about the price difference, I would choose Portra. It's more forgiving in strange lighting, scans better, and if you want to shoot at 800 without pushing its more doable.
