Arista.EDU 100 in Diafine results

[larrydressler]

I shot a roll of Arista.EDU 100 then souped it in diafine rated at

200 I think 250 would be a better choice but 200 worked well. I was

real suprised at the results. real smooth and no grain. I used 120

size in my Kiev 6C. the Lens was a MIR-26b 45mm. The eagal head is a

crop from a full size scan only min PS processing was used for

contrast. the crop picture is from a 800dpi scan on my trusty Epson

3170.

Looks pretty nice - what did you scan with?

[larrydressler]

I answered that in the opening. It is an epson 3170 at Epson.com you can get one for 60 bucks.

Nice work Larry, especially the Purple Heart monument.

The Kiev glass is quite good too. Very much under rated in the U.S.

I do see the blown out sky in that shot, and perhaps rating the film at ISO 250 would guard against it, but the mid-tones look so good it's a tough call.

I had the sun at my back and a mini squall moving in from the front I am tempted to call it 250 also the midtones are beautiful I don't know. also all I can do is play and pray it does not die like other films. at the moment i have a roll of HP4+ in it and I am rating it at 300 we shall see.
