Reversal. I'm going to weep bitter tears when my stock of KM is exhausted.
Why limit yourself to 35 mm?
print film most of the time. why? because it has greater exposure latitude. and because i can get better prints from them...that's the most important bit because i like putting pictures in frames, physical albums, wallet, car, etc. and also, print film offers some nice 800 and 1600 speed films...even a 3200 b&w film. in addition, most of my subjects or people...and i like print film better for photographing people.
however...if i know i want to scan them into digital format, i prefer slide film. less grain...and i just seem to get better results when scanning slides.
I shoot negs... for all the reasons celerystalksme mentioned. I've only scanned negs, though, so I have no comparison as far as slide scanning goes.
FWIW, I've been told that there're some significant differences among 35mm scanners regarding the way they handle slides. Apparently, some are more "slide friendly" than others.
Apparently, some 35mm scanners are better than others in this aspect."... For some reason I noticed that the skin tones look great on the transparency, but when I scan them the skin tones never match..."
That's exactly what I was told about the newer Minolta scanners."... the skin tones lean more to magenta tones for some reason..."
Use 6x7, 645 isn't that much larger than 35 mm.Funny you should ask! I will be doing an informal experiment this weekend with Velvia 100 in both 35 and 120! For the 120 I am debating whether to go 6x7 or 645 (depends on how much weight I want to carry around under the sun). I have never shot slide film in 120. I am hoping to take two shots per image, one with the 35 the other with 120. I will be doing a combination of people and landscape just to see how this film measures up. I am assuming 120 will deliver better results, but the idea is to see what tonal range, grain, and overall color accuracy will be.
