pankaj purohit Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Juan, I cannot understand what do you want to ask in one sentance, If you can more describe your question. it will be easier for inputing precisely. As I understood your question, yes C-41 processing film are also traditional, I only know about two kind of film processings, one is E-6 : for slide films and other one is C-41 : for negative print films. The Negaive films (C-41) are usually being used for printings, where these films have best exposure latitude so far in the photographic world, so the exposure tollerance in higher, more chances to correct the over or underexposure. Whether the slide films (E-6) films have very little margin in exposure latitude. So we have to be very-very carefull about the exposure. Recovery chances are about to nil with E-6 films. E-6 films are almost hard to find and get developed where C-41 is still popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_e Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Do you mean Ilford XP-2 Super and Kodak bw400cn, the chromagenic b&w? The advantage they have is they are easier to scan and can be developed at a 1 Hour. I've used 400cn. It is an okay film, but I prefer TriX for 400 speed.

juan_bonet Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm sorry!!! Don, I just want say this. Do you have a film scanner or the lab scan your films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_e Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Juan, I recently bought a Nikon V Ed film scanner, and use Vuescan as my software. I can't say about E6 as I don't shoot much slide film. C41 color and the chromagenic b&w scan very well at 4000dpi. Real b&w is difficult. PlusX is better than TriX for scanning (those are the films I use most) and I assume finer grain films scan better, in general. I'm still working on scanning technique.

yann1 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 My lab scans my XP2 films, and I find this film scans better than any other I tried, especially in medium format. I usually develop my B&W films myself, but this film rocks when scanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_bonet Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well, I'm looking that you develop the B&W films yourselves and then sacan they yourselves too. Does anyone still make contacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
