andrei_lau1 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 What are the main differences in the 2 film and what is more suitable for travel & landscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar_ojala Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I once had to shoot Fuji Xtra 400 this year and it seems the main problems with it are excessive contrast, not-quite-perfect skin tones and modest color saturation, in that order. NPH is low contrast, but the colors are good. Personally, I would pick NPH anytime, but for travel and especially landscape I frequently want a little more punch, so I shoot slides. You can't have it all and tastes differ...However, the speed and low contrast makes NPH quite versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrei_lau1 Posted July 27, 2003 Author Share Posted July 27, 2003 For Xtra the retail price is much cheaper. In my case eventually I'll scan into digital form, if the difference substantial between the two for scanning and whether the difference can be narrowed down with Photoshop?

oskar_ojala Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 the price is higher for a reason :) I haven't scanned Xtra, but based on negs and prints I've looked at, I'd say that the adjustments needed in Photoshop are so significant that they'd be a major time sink (if possible).

quicksilver1 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Can one shoot slides using ELAN7E ?? If YES, which brand and make should be suitable for landscapes? I have literally no idea about them as such? Where does one get them printed or processed? Could someone send in links. Thanks, Rajat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Andrei, Superia Xtra 400 has considerable batch-to-batch variation, so nobody can really tell you exactly how it differs from NPH, which is very consistent. If you care enough to ask, you should use NPH instead. Rajat, the answer is yes. If you can find a Fuji Frontier lab nearby, ask them how much they charge to make prints from slide film. If this is low-cost enough for you, try Fuji Sensia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
