What films did you shoot most recently? (Part 2)

[madgardener]

Yesterday I loaded my last roll of Fuji Press 1600 into the camera set to 6400 and headed north to a coal mine tour.

With the prices being asked on that auction site though, I think it will be my last roll for a bit too. Judging from the prices, Fuji must have discontinued manufacture of it.

Kodak Porta 400 135 in the Widelux

 

[JimCee]

Fujicolor Pro 160S in my Nikon F3HP. Film processed and printed with a photo CD by Photographic Works in Tucson (for $15.00!). I'm very pleased with the results, my Nikon F3HP, purchased in 1983, has never been CLA'd and it still performs magnificently. I purchased a couple of new Kodak films for the future - Kodak Ektar 100, and Kodak Portra 160.

Last night I shot some dusk pano's with my Kodak Six-16 loaded up with Delta 400. Planning on trying out the Caffinol-C (Delta-STD mix).
Discovered that at my local Walgreens, no less than 15 people had actual 35mm color film being developed, and people were ACTUALLY BUYING FILM?!@ I almost shed a tear, it was a beautiful moment - until I got that unknown roll of 35mm Fujicolor 100 back and said to my self: "when did I EVER take shots like these? Was I drunk?" It is entirely possible.

Now, off to scowre the local markets for cheap awesomeness.

$15 for a roll of film to be developed? That is a stiff price. Ouch! Is that what it costs these days in the real world? I live in China where costs are much lower. i pay about $5 per roll with scans. Maybe you had prints made? I hope so. $15 is too much! I dont know how much film I would shoot at 3X's the price.

 

[JohnRichard]

$16 for 120 at a decent lab (including scans), $15 for prints and scans 35mm at local lab. I just paid these prices yesterday. . . - At least black and white doesn't cost that.

 

[wblynch]

I just shot a roll of 127 Portra 160nc in my Kodak Brownie Starmatic.

Have to order some C-41 chems since Freestyle was closed today. (should have looked up their hours online before heading out)

Well, I guess prices are lower in China. They did include prints of all 36 shots, and the quality was absolutely first class!

OK, that seems a much better price then. I dont get prints for my $5 developing. I wish I did but the service only offers develop and scan.

Yesterday I ran two rolls of PanF, two rolls of Ektar 100, and a roll of Delta 400 through the Rolleiflexes. I'm going to experiment with the PanF and try semi-stand development in Pyrocat HD 1:1:200 and see what comes out of it.

 

[removed account4]

2 rolls of plus x in an argus af
and 1 roll in a pen ft

 

[semi-ambivalent]

3 rolls of Eastman 5222 in an M3, dev'd in HC-110 1:50. Mucho sweet.

[TheFrenchResolution]

2 rolls of Astia from a 20-roll box I picked up a week ago.

 

[pdeeh]

Lucky 100 in mju-1.
it's terrible terrible film.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Guess you'd call it UN-lucky film then?

Two rolls of Konica IR 750. Have to soup them now and find out if they're still useable.

 

[madgardener]

It's not the best film around, that could be why it was discontinued, but I would give it 2 terribles, maybe only 1.25... I've got a couple bricks in my freezer for when I feel in the "lomo" mood. I shoot it in a camera that i picked up at a dollar store.

 

[ArtO]

Just finished a roll of Tri-X400 and one of Kodak GC400.

SHD100 (B&W) isn't discontinued., but they don't produce colour any more (though there's plenty still available)

 

[NedL]

Tri-x and FP4+.
Also FP-100c and paper negatives!

Next: more of the same!

 

[abeku]

FP4+ in my Pentax 67 and MX. Pan F in the Flexaret. Kentmere 400 in various toycameras.

Lucky 100 in mju-1.
it's terrible terrible film.

...but it can be just right sometimes! I love the glow of the highlights you get with SHD100. My favourite was the SHD400, it was... creative!

 

[John_Nikon_F]

At the moment, the F3P is empty, the F2AS has Ektar 100 in it, as does the F4s, and the F has an expired roll of 1st generation Velvia that was frozen until a few weeks ago.

...but it can be just right sometimes!

oh no problems with the way it receives and retains light, but the batch I'm using at the moment come out of the canister looking like a heavily used ice rink

 

[benjiboy]

I'm shooting Fuji Velvia 100 in a new Canon F1

 

[verian]

Rollei Retro 400s in a Rolleiflex 3.5E. I like it.
