It's such a good film. I assume that you have similar climactic limitations...it's pretty much a summer only film. Way too little light to make good use of it in the winter.

Ah but here we have snow, lots of snow. I shoot a lot of Foma 100 in winter. It's also one of my favourite films for pinhole photography due to its steep reciprocity failure: I can get long exposures even if it's fairly bright out, without having to add a filter (although I did use a red filter on the first image below, which was made with a pinhole camera).
More halations! When (if) it becomes impossible to by Eastman-5222 (I assume Kodak will no longer be selling it re-sellers like the rest of their 35mm cine stocks), I'll have to figure out what to use next.
Dev'd some FP4 Cine film today. As is typical with this respooled film there were issues. This time it looks like the film touched while on the spools in the developing tank and some images (not shown) had weird developer issues. The film is old, expired and not exactly the same as FP4+ so it's a good film to practice with but it can be frustrating to use and results are not guaranteed. The good news is that the lens which is new to me is sharp and works well.
Nikon F6, 35mm f/2 AF, FP4 Cine film from Analog Cameras, Perceptol 21 minutes at 75°F
I told my ophthalmologist that if my vision was bad enough, I would use scale focus. Had cataract surgery last week and am still adjusting. Everything is still blurry with my glasses on because my prescription has changed. Figured it was time to take some pictures,

Are you scanning the film between a glass sandwich? (Anti Newton ring & and clear glass) I'm asking because the entire rebate is showing.
It’s the Negative Supply Full Border Cassette. I normally don’t use it but the standard cassette kept cutting off the edges of the negatives. I could have changed to the panorama mask in the standard cassette and cropped. For 120, I use the full border because the 6X6 mask in the standard cassette keeps cutting off the top edge of the negatives.
Good question. Does AGFA actually still make quality color film anymore? I have no clue. My guess is no (I am not counting Wolfen 400/500 as quality color films made by InovisCoat...which I think is an off-shoot of some part of AGFA)

Very nice reds, indeed! Any similarities between this film stock and the current AgfaPhoto Color 400?
