alex_leonhardt Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi All,<br><br>Sorry to keep bugging about films, but just like the fact that I shoot in ISO100 even on my digital SLR. <br><br>So, since the Fuji film I've got at the moment has a speed of ISO 160 (alsobalanced to daylight) I was wondering whether anyone here ever shot fashion withFuji Superia 100 CN and whether the results are as sharp and vivid as they(Fuji) say they are. <br><br>Any feedback would be great - or even better if you have sample images youscanned!?!<br><br>Thanks,<br>Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_leonhardt Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Oh, just noticed it's a 6x6 film - is there a 6x4.5 film with the same "stats" ? I love vivid colors and ultra sharpness so that's why it's so important to me :) ... thanks!!! alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_leonhardt Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ok, to stop myself from guessing - anyone knows whether there's a 120 film that's got those vivid color (color reproduction?) combined with a very high sharpness in 6x4.5 format ? :) Sorry for so many questions!!! Thanks again, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougmiles Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Alex, 6x anything is all the same size film, 120 or 220 your choice of length. Then another choice is transparency film or negative film ("slides or prints"). Look at the Fuji and Kodak websites to see what usage they suggest for their various offerings.

photojim Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Superia 100 is a good film. I shoot it a lot in both 35mm and 120. Reala is also nice. Same speed. As for 160 film, colour negative film will easily take a 2/3 stop overexposure and not miss a beat. You can shoot 160 negative film at 100 just fine, although shooting it at 160 instead of 100 is not difficult. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek_stanton2 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Reala is probably the sharpest negative film. With medium format, i think the differences within ISO groupings is probably negligible until you magnify pretty significantly. My feeling is that the most popular film in fashion these days is the Kodak Portra range. Probably NC, but it depends on the photographer and situation (light). As noted above, 120 and 220 films are for any medium format camera. But, whether your camera can use 220 depends on the camera/model/film back. What are you shooting?

alex_leonhardt Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hiya! Thanks for all your answers! :) Derek, I got a Hasselblad H1 about 2 weeks ago so am really fresh with medium format and shot film (35mm tho) last time possibly 10years ago :) .. 120 film is "just fine" for me at the moment tho ..
