What distinct colour film 'looks' have we lost?

Dead Link Removed

Ohhh! That is one of the holy grials of slide film. Only sold in Japan and one of the first films discontinued by Fuji in early 2000. I saw some scannings and seem to be quite extreme with saturation.... Definitely one of a kind.

We had Scotch chrome back in the days ...
Not so much distinctive but I have several boxes with mounted Scotch chromes (100 , 400) in the shelf.
Here's one from the early nineties - my buddy Elmar, Chinatown SF - we were on our way to Yosemite NP

I really miss the Ektachrome Elite 100 (5045) - one of my favorite chrome films back in the days … Love the colors even on a cloudy day.
Those were captured South of France :

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

Scotch Chrome 100 is the film that Ferrania is trying to produce in their plant, so there a some possibilties that it will come back.

I remember Ektachrome 64 EPR had nice skin tones ... ?

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

Brutal.

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

This is the original scan from a film.

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..

with regards

My intention was more pedagogical and without any scientific background ...

I knew this therefore an adress with "gentleman" was formulated....

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Autochrome: a wildly outdated means of making a picture, but existing examples have a look all their own

Wish I got to try fortia sp...
E100vs on warm subjects was everything I wanted and then some

Grainy and strange colour - High Speed 3M slide film

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.

 

[John_Nikon_F]

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.

I used them long ago, but I miss experimenting development with them. So sharp ones !
