For the right application, I liked the neutral colours of EPN and EPR.

I've seen axamples of Konica 3200, it's like somebody had taken normal photos and then laid black pepper over them.

Gentelemen, you all got it right but please don't spoil the party !! It was a nice thread so far ...

I agree with you - let us say both are right?
Let me short describe :

This is the original scan from a film.

BEsiKzX(2).jpg

This is from Fortia SP setup.
Described on "macrumors.com" with
VSCO 4 software.
To me it isn't the same look (it looks just more saturated) but some say it is the same.
Both are right....OK..:D

with regards

Polachrome: a wildly crazy instant slide film from Polaroid
Autochrome: a wildly outdated means of making a picture, but existing examples have a look all their own

I think that was Super Anscochrome it was I.S.O 500 and had grain like golf balls, and was much beloved by fashion photographers.
It was sold under a number of names. IIRC, it was even sold by us under our own store brand name (Sears Film).

I often used Super Anscochrome 500 for available light photography at night. [No flash or fill in lights]

One look that was extremely popular involved working with C41 type film and cross processing in E6... technique was to underexpose slightly and then push process up to 4 stops.. some incredible images were made this way. With a wonderful colour palette.

We are just about to lose Superia 1600 so stock up while you can. It's a beautiful film with nice, subtle grain considering it's high speed.

Reala is one that I miss, then there's Pro 160C, which is like Velvia 50 (the original RVP version) in C-41. The original Ektar 25, even though, yes, Ektar 100 of today is very similar grain-wise. Still would be nice if it were an ISO 25 film like it used to be. The old Fuji Super HG films weren't bad either. Shot a lot of that in the late '80s-mid '90s.
