p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · thanks to ALL THAT HELPED me in all my dumb questions about film


really appreciate the help that everyone has provided! I think i may continue to shoot film primarily and may end up with medium format sometime in the near future. i forgot how shooting film really makes you appreciate everything.

FINALLy i can contribute to the film thread that is going on, but wanted to take the time to thanks those that have taken time out of their lives to respond to my crazy questions, and even sold me film!!!

Just got back film from a lab that i think will handle the bulk of my business locally! This film is the "superia" 200 that walmart advertises on their website, but is IN FACT C200. I was a little irritated that it wasn't Superia, but thought for $10 for 4 rolls, might as well. At some point i will need a go to film as Reala is not easy to find. C200 so far is actually impressive!

Here is a shot at Bryce on the day after Thanksgiving, or #optoutside for me, as i work at REI Shot with a Contax RX and C/Y 35-70. Most likely f/11, but who knows.

Again, really appreciate all the help!

The demise of the great Carl Zeiss camera/lens systems at the end of the film era was a crime against photography. The venerable maker is yet to recover from this setback.

Sweet shot, and u have discovered the dirty secret that C200 is excellent film. I Use it all the time at my gallery, bought a bulk amount of it when Adorama for some weird reason had it priced at $1.49/36 exp and just received another bulk shipment off ebay (expires in 2019) for $2.60 roll 36exp.

I use all the usual suspects in the film world and have zero qualms with C200. Looking forward to more of your film posts.

Is Fuji C200 as good as Reala? I still have a couple of rolls of Reala in the freezer.

Reala is in a league of its' own, in my personal opinion - just based on sharpness. However i haven't shot the same scene with the same gear and settings to do a comparison. I picked it up because it is $2.30 a roll at walmart, and with a lot of film getting discontinued, i need to find a film that is current that i like. So far I am impressed. I didn't do much post processing to this photo.

I am probably going to go on another 4 day trip next month somewhere in the desert here, and will try some more film.

Nice shot.....don't buy films from your local supermarkets FYI. You can get them cheap too at https://www.freestylephoto.biz/

Fuji color films tend to be on the green side. They are great if you shoot a lot of sunset shots...or with ambient lighting more towards red and warm yellow. Kodak is more warmer and generally better with skin tone (portra 100). Ektar 100 is more like slide with deep rich warmer tone.

As I recall, Reala has an extra layer of blue on it. I really liked Reala for outdoor photos.

Reala was the best C41 for landscape, the only print film to compare with the E6 lot. TMS, they always used to say that the colors on the box told you what the film did best. Green/blue for Fuji, yellow/red for Kodak.

Why are you selling the film? Throw it in the camera and shoot it!

Because I primarily work in black and white with film (and digital) I don’t shoot much color these days and I decided to pass it along.

I used to underexpose Reala by a half to 2/3 stop and it made the colors explode.
