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

madgardener · Jul 14, 2013

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 · Jul 14, 2013

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 · Jul 14, 2013

$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.

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.

TheFrenchResolution · Aug 14, 2013

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

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

TheFlyingCamera · Aug 14, 2013

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 · Aug 14, 2013

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 · Aug 14, 2013

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 · Aug 14, 2013

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

Next: more of the same!

abeku · Aug 15, 2013

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

...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 · Aug 15, 2013

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.

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 · Aug 15, 2013

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

verian · Aug 15, 2013

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