sliu Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Under Michael D'Avignon's persistent questioning, I finally gave Polariod 85 a try. Here are the negatives scanned on Epson 4990.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj_bignell Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Sam, those look really good. I assume they're all scans from negatives? If so, did you try to expose any for a good positive? It'd be nice to see examples of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliu Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 All positives are a little bit under exposed (about half EV) because I used 120S instead of 120 and the film is ISO 80. But they are within the limit of photoshop correction. Practically, for my use, shooting Polariod 85 has no advantage because the time I spend on processing and drying is longer than that I spend on minilab C41 processing XP2. And due to the dust issue, neither positive nor negative of Polariod 85 is near the quality of XP2 in scanning. And XP2 is much much cheapter than Polariod 85. Regular Holgas are more portable and easy to use than Holgroid. So XP2 will remain my main B&W film for Holga. Holgaroid is just an experiment.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedmartini Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Cool images! Thanks for the info! I've been having a blast with the Holgaroid. Placing an order for more film today. Happy image making! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
