. It's a nice IR film though, I shoot handheld at EI 25 with a 720 filter in full sun.

A bit off topic I realise but as you have mentioned 400S, how do the shadows seem at EI 25? This might be the minimum speed needed for hand-holding but based on what others have said you might lose some shadow detail at EI 25 but maybe not?

A scan of a print or neg or a link to one would be helpful, if that is possible?

Thanks

If you are so smart, why ain't you rich? :confused:

I don't think intelligence correlates with income and even less with wealth, just from my personal observations. Some of the most brilliant people I know are of the "marginalized garage geniuses" sort.

Giving credit for the inspiration to a certain poster over on the LFPF I will sign this...

What Roger said...

My dad is a physicist and theoretical physical chemist and engineer... in the last 10 years he's done nothing but work on the "theory of everything" and the only job's he's had were delivering newspapers and adjusting google add words for some guy who owns a time share...

I might have saved the company if I ran it, but the board members wouldn't have gotten their bonuses... That's why I'm not successful... Lol

Well, there are exceptions to every rule, but I think it's easier to make a lot of money if you are ruthless.

Also, in most countries, your fate is determined by your parents. If your parents are rich, you will be rich. If they are poor you will be poor.

So, I don't think there's a direct correlation between intelligence and wealth.

Besides, most of us were the most happy when we were young and had little money, so clearly it's not the most inportant thing.

I read in a different thread that Ektar 100 is the C-41 equivalent of Kodachrome 64. I have not used Ektar 100 yet, but I am anxious to see what it can do.

Um, no. It's two thirds of a stop faster and has much more accurate color and much more tolerance for overexposure (as any C41 neg film does relative to any slide film I know about.)

Kodachrome was very archival (in the dark - it was very subject to light fading) and had a unique look that could be very appealing but it was not that accurate, color wise.

I have read that Bigfoot is flying around on the same UFO as Elvis. Probably the same alien pilots who made an Ektar film that resembles
Kodachrome. But in terms of what exists on earth, the story is a bit different.
