igord Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I would like to know the worst negatives/slides which give you big grain, low contrast, low sharpness in the lowcontrast light. I would like to avoid photoshop and get this look straight from the film stock, thanks for input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Try Fuji Superia 1600. Underexpose Kodak Max 800 a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucecahn Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Try T Max 3200 at 1200 developed normally in T Max developer. Unless they discontinued that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks guys. I wonder what film does Ms Deborah Tuberville use for her italian vogue stories. Her images are really harsh and raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_mahaney Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Kodacolor VR 1000, or possibly Max 800. Superia 1600 is pretty decent. Just about any Konica film I've ever shot has been pretty bad. Or that old Polaroid HD rebranded Agfa was awful (not up to Agfa's usual standards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjun_mehra Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I posted a question almost like this, a few weeks ago. The consensus, for color print film, seemed to be Kodak's Gold ("Max Versatility") 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lewis1664881697 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I vote for TMAX 3200 as far as big grain goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have just seen this: http://www.photo.net/photo/2337490 This film seems to be perfect, but I have no idea about processing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Lewis1664881697 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 For color, I think the Ektachrome 1600 had an interesting look. The rolls I used (it's possible they were on the shelf for a while) were both high contrast and with pleasant grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjun_mehra Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Kodak's p3200 might have large grain, but I couldn't call it an unattractive film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ektachrome 1600 is discontinued unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustys pics Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Here's a surprise; Ilford SFX200. It's not a very good infrared or near infrared film at all, and it's too grainy to be any good as a good portrait film. It's utterly dreary stuff with no discernible use. Just my opinion.
