That would be a nice development, but personally I see Fuji as an extremely reluctant participant in film production and wouldn't be surprised if they totally drop out of the market at any time, with short notice. I would hate to see this, but would not be surprised...
Frankly, I don't get this whole discussion about which film is (supposedly) technically superior, given the fact that the differences in objective quality are marginal at best...
That's my finding, yes. Consuming a healthy amount of Fomapan R 100 (10x 135/36 rolls and 2 bulk rolls), I've come to conclusion to avoid R100 as there are more potent films out there and cheaper.But, the premise is that E100 is totally inadequate for some purposes (like for people that project their slides).
They are alone selling about double the amount of instax film compared to Kodak selling photo film.
I am speaking of traditional film products; not Instax .
Fuji may invest heavily in Instax production, but it doesn't seem interested in traditional film products.
It is not greed and never was greed. It is called paying ones bills to stay in business. The stress and aggravation inflicted on you is not personal.......................
In my perfect dream world, Fuji would give/sell the recipe for Velvia 50 in SHEET SIZES to EK (or whomever) to produce....since they don't seem interested in doing it themselves.
A properly exposed 8x10 Velvia chrome on a light table is a thing of absolute beauty.
Yeah just after I started shooting 4x5, they discontinue Velvia 50 in that size. I got two boxes of it squirreled away in my freezer watching it;s value appreciate faster than gold.
And how exactly do you imagine to achieve that?What I'm getting at is that it might be wise to learn how to optimize Kodak E100 for you own needs.
I guess it's nice being validated and often some valuable knowledge is gained from some testing
Tried the filter, didn't like the effect on blues and greens - so a useless purchase of a rather nice filter...How? Damn easy if the lab is competent at all. If you don't like the cooler color balance, simply add a slight warming filter.
How? Damn easy if the lab is competent at all. If you don't like the cooler color balance, simply add a slight warming filter. If you're complaining about an alleged lack of sharpness during projection, I can only conclude that it has nothing to do with the film itself. I have far too much experience with both Fuji and Kodak chrome films to suspect otherwise.
I'm not trying to convert you to Ektachrome. If you prefer Fuji, stick with it. But how long it sticks around itself, well, that is anyone's guess at this point. Fuji rarely shows their hand.
I can't.
Me neither.
If I'm to make a wild guess...
Examples given - I can't too. But projection is an entirely different beast than scans - it doesn't feature sample rates and ppi
You are right.
Any additional ideas to improve said test?
