peder_mansson Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Hello, besides using Velvia and tripod, what films and speeds do people use with these cameras (the 645Zi, GW 670, 690 and GSW 690)? 400 speed handheld at 1/30 or what?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbq Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I'd go for 400UC. I wish I could afford one of the 690s (or both, even better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_a._hill Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 It sounds like your concern is the lack of a fast shutter speed, but it doesn't make that much difference. Use the film that gives you the look you want for the situation. I've used Agfa Ultra 64 in a GSW 645 at night (on a tripod, of course), and several 400 speed films in daylight, hand-held. What is the real concern here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxc Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Impresa, only hand hold in bright light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 <i>Agfa Ultra 64 </i><p> Hey, where did you get this? I only know Ultra 50 in medium format.<p> Just use the films you like. It's more about what you want it to look like than what anyone else uses. Music and Portraits Blog: Life in Portugal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen hazelton Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 You should be able to use any film in them. With high speed films in broad daylight, you may run out of shutter speed; with slow film, you may need a tripod; otherwise there wouldn't be any restrictions.

jeff_tokayer Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Last year (shooting fall colours) I shot Agfa RSX II 50 & 100 with my G690 and GSW690III with great results. This year I'm planning on using my RF645 with E100VS (love the bold colours) and Velvia 100F (just loaded the camera with the first test roll). Jeff.

gary_reese2 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Hum, seems a strange question. One picks a film to match the subject, not the camera. However, I can think of one exception. Konica Infrared. The GW690 models are a top notch camera for that film, especially considering you meter with a handheld meter anyways.

peder_mansson Posted October 5, 2003 Author Share Posted October 5, 2003 The purpose of my question was to bring me some inspiration. I tend to use them with 220 Velvia and tripod, but have recently been playing around handheld with 220 Reala and Provia 400. It´s just that I use them somewhat sparingly, esp with neg film due to the much higher costs involved in processing and printing. I´m waiting for developed Velvia rolls to see whether the use of a 85B filter improved the results on a very overcast day in a humid forest, (a tip I read about in Outdoor Photography recently).

gary_a._hill Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 My mistake. It was Agfa Ultra 50. It has been discontinued for awhile, so I forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
