Anyone tried FPP ISO 3 colour film? On sale...

[Huss]

I just ordered five rolls because I'm a sucker for "weird" film stocks and it is heavily discounted at the moment.
This is an ISO 3 colour film. I'm only used to B&W films at that speed. So this should be fun!

Anyone have experience with this film - and can post pics taken with it?

Color release print stock. $11 a 24 exposure roll? Yikes!

See if a lab, like say Colorlab in Maryland will sell you a printer short end of 90 to 100 feet for peanuts. They probably just toss out rolls that long as being impractical to use...

Using their discount coupon "blue" it is $6.99. That is a huge price cut.

OK, that's a reasonable price to give it a whirl. If you fall in love with it, try the other route for a sustainable supply.

I have not tried this film, but given the speed and results. It looks oddly close to Kodak 2383 film processed in standard C-41 process. I've seen much better results of it in ECN-2 and am personally trying to create a positive color process to process it as slide film, but progress has been slow for that.

Anyway, example processed in C-41 at ISO 3

 

[Huss]

It could Kodak Vision 2393 which is more saturated and has deeper blacks than 2383. Or it is 2383.. Either way, now available to the great unwashed in single rolls!

Looking forward to trying it out.

I imagine this film does not have the orange dye of 35mm color negative film. So, not surprising that blue images get produced with equipment that was expecting regular-ole-film.

Is this film expecting to be contacted to a negative film with the orange dye? That would make things twice as blue.

I wonder how it work as a transparences copy film. I have a slide copier, could made internegatives to print on R4.

Very poorly. It's the opposite of what you need.

I guess the thing to remember here is that the film is for making motion picture release prints from a color negative camera stock (or internegative) that is going to have the orange mask. So I would imagine that as long as you filter correctly to replicate the orange mask you should be okay? It might be tungsten balanced as well.

The issue is much more complex.


a camera film has a spectral sensitivity as continuos as possible

intermediate and print films have a spectral sensitivity corresponding to the dyes of the primary films

intermediate films have a dye image aimed at the next film

print films have a dye image aimed at the human eye


At least this is the engineering aim to strive for.

My film came in today - loaded my F6 w 80 1.8G. Figure this should be interesting shooting @1.8 only in bright beach sunshine.

Just developed a 'test' roll. The imprint says 2383.

And here it is "colour corrected" i.e. how I will be using this film. Nice to have this crazy low ISO option in colour.

"Colour corrected" with greenish tinge looks really effective. Dude in tracksuit looks crazy sharp and fine grained too.

Gives those usual ultra bright california colours a nice slightly apocalyptic twist.

You need to stock up on this - it's very good work

Wonder what a sunset would look like. At ISO 6, really long exposure, don't know how to figure compensation for such a long exposure.

Sort of has the look of a Two-Color Technicolor film print!

 

[Huss]

It really is an interesting film to use. It is Kodak 2383. B&H's minimum order for 2383 is $353 for 2000 feet. The only bulk film loaders I am familiar with are for 100 ft of film. So.

FPP sells it $6.99/24 exp roll (using discount code BLUE) which makes it a fun and relatively inexpensive way to get to use it. I ordered some more rolls because now I know what it looks like/how to use it, I have some specific projects for it.

Definitely looks "cinematic"! Awesome shot.

For any EU based members: a seller from Belgium is selling 8 rolls for €25 on the auction site. Just search Kodak 2383. No Vision.

I bought a batch of rolls a while ago, but they'll remain in the freezer until I'm ready to test printing ecn2 film onto it. My CD2 arrived yesterday. It'll allow me to make the right developer for it, once I'll need it.

Did you process it C-41?

Did you process it C-41?

Yes, standard C-41 at my local shop.
