Please tell me about Ultramax film. I've been thinking about getting some but you can't get 1 roll, you have to get 5 so if you don't like it. You're stuck! It's also expensive which is fine if it's nice film.
UT looks like beautiful film but it's always hard ro tell by the time it makes it from your camera to my cellphone! Also, is there anything I should know about it? Isn't there a version with a slower ASA? Any color film you like more?
Thanks. Bill geekcop wrote:

I really like it but it isn't as good as Portra 400 obviously. I have had good success developing and scanning it myself with only minor adjustments in Silverfast. Others complain that they hate or dislike it but my shots are nice for my use. I've attached a few of mine that I like to show what it can do with good light. The ones I shot with my F6 you can see my exposure settings. I've published all of these before in FM so my apologies to everyone who has to see these again but I think they illustrate that you can get god results with the film when care is taken with exposure and scanning. These were shot inside, or in the rain, or bright sun or using window light. It is a flexible film in my eyes. If money were an issue I'd get it and not look back. If I was rolling in cash I'd buy Portra 400 of course.
