Really liking these Fantome 8 images. I picked up a roll a while back but have been a little afraid to shoot it. I'm assuming these are all pretty much wide open, right? Any tripod shots?
TY.
Fantome 8 is actually Ilfotec ORWO DP31 - it says so on the film rebate! DP31 is an ISO 6 film, so I rate it at ISO 6 not 8. I think the only reason Lomo calls it 8 is to pretend it is something new... Same with their Babylon 13 film which is actually ISO 12.
No tripod shots! Just shot wide open. It actually takes very little effort to use in daylight - sunny 16 = 1/8 sec @ f16. Which corresponds to 1/250 @ 2.8 in bright sunshine.
I could have stopped down a bit, but the fun here is to shoot the Lomo Minitar 32 wide open where it shows it's most cr@ppy I mean artsy smeary traits. For me the point of this film is to shoot wide open with whatever lens you have in daylight, and just go with it.
