Heads up on Fuji 100c

Availability

 

Us Rep says sales extremely healthy.

Pricing 1-1,25 per shot.

Quality

I say its better than 669 ever was

 

Use of the negative

 

2) Some figured out a way to clear the black backing on the negative to obtain a 3x4 full size negative.

Alternatives are using oven cleaners bleaches and other harsh chemicals.

3) My question

Has anyone figured out a method that effectively removes the backing effortlessly and with no harm to the acetate?

 

 

Question 2

Film base

everyone has by noticed colour negatives have a caramel color base.

100 c has a crystal clear base.

Which gives it a cross process range of e6 to negative.

Great as a HC black and white neg.

 

But to get standardised color range here are a few options.

 

When printing on photo paper get a imageless

colour neg from a film lab and sandwich it or dial in its curve into your enlargers head.

 

Whats best?

 

When scanning do you also sandwich or

adjust curves or add the orange base tone as a new transoarent layer or add at cymk?

Whats best?

 

Im thinking a crowdfunding to encourage an after market clearing kit is the answer as

Fuji wont touch the added advantage but Imho the resulting sales revenue when people use the film

for its negative would also ensure Fuji doesnt touch the discontinuation button for many more years.

What is your opinion on that?

Thank you
