That Fuji film looks really nice. I just scanned four images for a friend from Kodak T-Max400 C41 and the prints were remarkably rich and full. I was actually surprised at just how beautiful that film is. The prints were 16x24 and scanned at 4000 ppi.

Here are a couple of film shots that I like. First is an old Fiat that's been half buried off a cliff in Topanga State Park for at least the last thirty years. Probably stolen and not worth the effort to get it out. Mamiya 7, T-Max100.

Second is a bridge shot in Oregon on a road trip a long time ago. Probably Plus-X but shot on an old Brooks Veriwide 100 with that beautiful Schneider 47mm Super Angulon. 2-1/4x3-5/8 format. Should never have sold that camera.

And lastly for tonight, a shot while on a bicycle trip. Two tourists at the northern end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Must have been pretty close because I remember that it was shot with a Nikon 24mm and Kodachrome 64.

That 50mm f1.2 looks sooo much better when using film..

rattymouse

Gunzorro is right, your film scans look pretty amazing..

Thank you very much you two. These scans were done by the processing lab and I think they were done on a Kodak iQSmart 3.

As long as the cost is reasonable, I think you've got a good scanning situation at that lab. Nice work.

Great work, Peter!

But now I have that last image burning a hole in my brain -- thanks! Classic wide angle shot.

Classic.

WIDE.

Angle.

Shot. . .

Ow, my head hurts!

I'm so glad to have had such a positive impact on this Friday evening. I've always referred to this image as "The Woman with no Head and the Woman with two Butts"

The scan looks wonderful. May I ask are there many place still sell film in China? How much for Fuji pro160 and Acros? I wonder should I bring my M3 with me to China Trip.

It's a lot more ass than I was expecting when reading the opening commentary!

Thank you for the kind words. I only have film experience in Shanghai and there is a camera mall here that has 4 or 5 film shops. I always stock up there. You can find film outside of camera stores, but it is scarce. I shoot 120 film so need to find special stores. I have not been able to find any Fuji color film except Reala. I want to try 400H but have not found it yet.

My wife usually pays for the film after I load up on it. I cant really give you an accurate cost. $4-5 a roll maybe. Porta 400 is $6 a roll I think.

I assume you will start your China trip in either Shanghai or Beijing. You can certainly load up on all your film needs there and be fine. There are a lot of film shooters, but they are spread out amongst all the digital people.

Those two b & w shots were gorgeous!!!

Fuji Reala 100

Fuji Reala 100

just got a quick scan back of my test roll on my new contax aria. everything seems to be working fine.

had to take a few of the usual test subjects:


no ducks were available







all with the c/y 35/1.4 on tri-x

the scans look pretty bad, i probably should have waited and sent the film out. :/

Thanks :P That was at f/4 though so I don't think there would be difference in image quality if shot with digital.

I have more photos from the same set:

Here is one of my shots from my recent trip to NZ
Two 4×5″ Fuji Velvia 100F sheets
Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110mm
Ebony 45S, rear standard shifted 40mm left and 40mm right

Neopan Acros 100

Two more, same equipment and film. No shifts.
Probably a little rear tilt for DOF.

fantastic shots thrice!

more tri-x:

happy:




sad:
